- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Rawḥ narrated to us, from Saʿīd, from Qatādah, who said: Mutarrif ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Shikhkhīr used to say, “The servant of Allah most beloved to Allah is the grateful, patient one: when he is tested, he endures with patience, and when he is granted favor, he gives thanks.”
