Hadith 36
۞
36. It has been narrated that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said
The best of 'gulps' is anger that is swallowed despite being unbearable; for the greatest reward comes with the greatest affliction. Allah never loved people but that He tried them (with afflictions).
36 - وعن أبي عبد الله (ع)
أنه قال نِعمَ الجُرعةُ الغيظ لمَن صَبرَ عَليها، فإنّ عظيمَ الأجر لمَعَ عظيمِ البلاءِ، وما أحبَّ اللهُ قوماً إلاّ ابتَلاهم.
