Reliance and certain faith

English translation

It was narrated from ‘Amr bin ‘As that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said, attributing it to the Prophet (ﷺ):

“The stronger believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive to seek that which will benefit you and do not feel helpless. If something overwhelms you, then say: Qaddarallah, wa ma sha'a fa’al (It is the decree of Allah and what He wills He does). And beware of (saying) ‘If only,’ for ‘If only’ opens the door to Satan.”
