 When faced with trials and tribulations, cling to the guidance of the Messenger of Allāh

الحمد لله رب العالمين، وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وأصحابه أجمعين،  أما بعد

Al-Imām adh-Dhahabi, [may Allāh have mercy on him], said:

“When faced with trials and tribulations, cling to the guidance of the Messenger of Allāh, صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. Embrace silence, avoiding unnecessary involvement in matters unrelated to you or those causing you problems. Entrust difficulties to Allāh [Exalted be He] and His Messenger صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ, pausing to declare: ‘Allāh knows best.’”
