He has also spoken of how He restores the hearts of His prophets and elect servants at times of hardship, answering their prayers by lifting their anxieties. He has instructed His worshippers to anticipate relief when calamities strike.
Such, then, is a principle that Allah has acknowledged and to which He has directed His servants. The believer should keep it in view whenever circumstances warrant it and apply it whenever its causes appear.
وقد ذكر الله جبره لقلوب أنبيائه وأصفيائه أوقات الشدائد وإجابته لأدعيتهم بتفريج الكربات. وأمر عباده بانتظار الفرج عند الأزمات.
فهذا أصل قد اعتبره الله، وأرشد إليه فينبغي للعبد أن يكون هذا على باله في وقت المناسبات ويعتبره عند وجود سببه.
