The evils inseparably annexed to the present condition of man, are so numerous and afflictive, that it has been, from age to age, the task of some to bewail, and of others to solace them; and he, therefore, will be in danger of seeing a common enemy, who shall attempt to depreciate the few pleasures and felicities which nature has allowed us.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

Sufyan al-Thawri said: “A person is not truly a jurist unless he regards #Affliction as a blessing and #Ease as a trial.” He also said: “Whoever finds joy in the #WorldlyLife has had the #FearOfTheHereafter removed from his heart.” Ibn Wahb said: “I saw al-Thawri in the Sacred Mosque after the #Maghrib prayer. He prayed, then prostrated, and did not raise his head until the call for the #Isha prayer was made.” (From *Siyar A‘lam al-Nubala’* by al-Dhahabi)
