77 - Muḥammad ibn Qudāma narrated to me, al-ʿAbbās ibn al-Mubārak narrated to us, a man who was trustworthy to us and whom he praised highly narrated to me, from Ghālib al-Qaṭṭān, from Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Muzanī, that a man used to seek Allah's guidance (istikhāra) frequently, but when he was tested, he panicked and did not show patience. So Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, revealed to one of Their prophets: Say to My servant so-and-so: "Since you were not among those of firm resolve, why did you not ask Me for guidance in well-being?"
