رَأْسُ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ الصَّبْرُ وَ الرِّضَا عَنِ اللَّهِ فِيمَا أَحَبَّ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ كَرِهَ وَ لَا يَرْضَى عَبْدٌ عَنِ اللَّهِ فِيمَا أَحَبَّ أَوْ كَرِهَ إِلَّا كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ فِيمَا أَحَبَّ أَوْ كَرِهَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu UUmeyr, from Jameel Bin Salih, from one of the Sheykhs of the clan of Al Najjashy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The chief of obedience to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is the patience and the satisfaction from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> regarding whatever the servant loves or abhors; and a servant would not be satisfied from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> regarding whatever he loves or abhors except it was better for him regarding what He<sup>azwj</sup> Loves or Abhors’.
