Ahead of you are Days of Patience in which Patience is like grasping a Hot Coal

[Roohi]

Abu Umayyah Ash-Sha’bani رضى الله عنه said: I asked Abu Tha’labah Al-Kushani, “What do you say about the verse: Take care of yourselves (5:105)?” He said: By Allah, you have asked one aware. I asked the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم about it and he said, “You should enjoin good and forbid evil, until you see greed being obeyed and followed, and the world is preferred and amazed is everyone with his own opinion, then your duty is for yourself and ignore the common people. Indeed, ahead of you are days of patience, wherein patience will be like grasping hot coals, and the one who does good deeds will have the reward of fifty men who do likewise.” Someone added, “O Messenger of Allah, the reward of fifty of them?” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The reward of fifty of you.”
