وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ

What It Means: Reading in Context
This closing clause refers to the believer described earlier in the narration. The full saying pairs gratitude in favourable circumstances with patience in adversity. The excerpt preserves the source’s wording “resignation”, including its explanation about patient endurance. It should not be used to tell someone to remain in a harmful situation. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2999. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
