💎Don’t Downplay the Severity of a Hardship after Allah Removes It 🔘Bakr b. ‘Abdullah al-Muzanī (رحمه الله) said: "يَنْزِلُ بِالْعَبْدِ الْأَمْرُ فَيَدْعُو فَيَصْرِفُهُ عَنْهُ، فَيَأْتِيهِ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيُضْعِفُ شُكْرَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كَانَ أَيْسَرَ مِمَّا تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ، "A matter descends upon a servant, so he supplicates, and it is diverted from him. Then, Satan comes and weakens his gratitude, saying: 'The matter was easier than you thought.' قَالَ: وَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: كَانَ الْأَمْرُ بِأَشَدَّ مِمَّا أَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ صَرَفَهُ عَنِّي " [However] the servant [should] say: 'The matter was more severe than I perceived, but Allah diverted it from me.'" Kitab al-Shukr Ibn Abi-l-Dunya (26).

💎The esteemed Shafi’ī scholar of Tafsīr and Fiqh, Badr al-Dīn Al-Zarkashi (d. 794 AH رحمه الله) said in the beginning of his book al Burhan: وَقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Al-Shafi'i, may Allah be pleased with him, said: جَمِيعُ مَا تَقُولُهُ الْأُمَّةُ شَرْحٌ لِلسُّنَّةِ وَجَمِيعُ السُّنَّةِ شَرْحٌ لِلْقُرْآنِ وَجَمِيعُ الْقُرْآنِ شَرْحُ أَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْحُسْنَى وَصِفَاتِهِ الْعُلْيَا "Everything the Ummah (i.e., its scholars) says is an explanation of the Sunnah, and all of the Sunnah is an explanation of the Qur'an, and all of the Qur'an is an explanation of Allah's Most Beautiful Names and His Supreme Attributes." زَادَ غَيْرُهُ: وَجَمِيعُ الْأَسْمَاءِ الْحُسْنَى شَرْحٌ لِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ وَكَمَا أَنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ كَلَامٍ سِوَاهُ فَعُلُومُهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ عِلْمٍ عَدَاهُ Another added: "And all the Most Beautiful Names are an explanation of His Greatest Name. And just as it is superior to all other speech, so His knowledge is superior to all other knowledge."
