Sometimes you have a person,
he thinks he is powerful.
He wants to harm you. You know what
happens?
In His harm for you,
your contentment
is greater
than His own anger that He has within
Him. Yet, you are the 1 who is
wronged, and he is the 1 who thinks
he is right. That is from Allah.
That is from Allah.
When the ulama of a 4 times were
imprisoned,
what happened to them? They were excited in
the jails.
And those who jailed them died
of stress.
Imagine. They were happy because
they
say, I'm happy here. I'm excited. I will
make the most of my time here.
They were happy.
And those who did harm to them were
the ones who were at a loss. They
couldn't even sleep at night, yet in the
prison these olema were sleeping
very well.
This is just an example I'm giving you
to show you that when you wrong someone,
sometimes that person has greater contentment than you
will ever taste
at that particular time.
