Al-Faraj ba'd al-ShiddaIbn Abi al-Dunya

Abu Bakr said: Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, may Allah have mercy on him, also recited to me:

(long metre)
If, in your affairs, you refuse to be lenient, they will become hard for you;
so be lenient, and blend hardship with ease.
I have seen no safeguard against affliction better than piety,
and no cure for what is disliked more healing than patience.

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَأَنْشَدُنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ﵀: [البحر الطويل] إِذَا لَمْ تُسَامِحْ فِي الْأُمُورِ تَعَسَّرَتْ ... عَلَيْكَ فَسَامِحْ وَامْزُجِ الْعُسْرَ بِالْيُسْرِ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَوْفَى لِلْبَلَاءِ مِنَ التُّقَى ... وَلَمْ أَرَ لِلْمُكْرُوهِ أَشْفَى مِنَ الصَّبْرِ
