*SINCERITY IS VERY PRECIOUS; WHERE ARE THE SINCERE ONES?*
*"Delicate and pure as if they were (dedicated) eggs (well) preserved."* [Qur'an 37:49]
One of those who have a great deal of knowledge about Allāh, submit to His will and accept His decree was the Prophet of Allāh Ayyūb (may Allāh's peace be upon him). He was tested and afflicted with regard to his physical health, his wealth and his children, until there was not a patch in his body in the size of a needle that remained sound, except for his heart. He had nor worldly means to help him apart from his wife, who remained loyal to him because of her faith in Allāh and His Messenger (may Allāh's peace be upon him). She used to work as a servant on order to earn money, and she fed him and took care of him for nearly eighteen years, never leaving him morning or evening except when she went to serve people, then she would come back to him. This difficult state of affairs lasted for a long time until the appointed hour came, he beseeched the Lord of the Worlds, the God of the Messengers, the most Merciful of those who show mercy, calling upon Him and be saying:
Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 83:
وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And (remember) Ayyūb (Job), when he cried to his Lord: "Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy."
Allāh, the All-Gracious, All-Merciful, answered his prayer. He commanded him to get up straight away and to strike the ground with his foot. He did so, and Allāh caused a spring to gush forth, then He commanded him to bathe in it, and all the sickness in his body disappeared. Then He commanded him to strike the ground in another spot, which caused another spring to gush forth. He commanded him to drink from it, and all the sickness inside him disappeared, and he became healthy and whole, both inwardly and outwardly. All of that was the fruit of patience and the result of seeking reward from Allāh and accepting His Will.
*"Man may regret speaker, but he will never regret silence."*
