137 – (Sound) Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said:

“A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak believer, though there is goodness in each of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek Allah’s help, and do not lose heart. If something befalls you, do not say, ‘Had I done such-and-such, it would have turned out this way or that,’ but rather say, ‘It is Allah’s decree, and He does whatever He wills,’ for the word ‘if’ opens the door to Satan’s work.”
