104 - ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan narrated to me, from al-Ṣalt ibn Ḥakīm, who said: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Maghāzilī narrated to me, saying: I visited an afflicted man in the Hijaz and said: "How do you find yourself?" He said: "I find His well-being to be greater than what He has afflicted me with, and I find His blessings upon me to be more than I can count." I said: "Do you feel severe pain from what you are in?" He wept and then said: "My soul has been comforted regarding the pain I suffer by what my Master promised to the patient people of complete rewards on the severity of a difficult day." He said: Then he fainted and remained so for a long while. Then he woke up and said: "Indeed, I believe that tomorrow, on the Day of Resurrection, the patient people will have a noble station before Allah, which no reward of deeds shall precede, except for satisfaction with Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
