The Holy Quran 2:156 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَـٰبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ

Translation

(Those who exercise sabr are) those who, when any difficulty befalls them (then instead of complaining), they say, 'Verily we belong to Allaah (and He therefore has the right to treat us as He pleases) and to Him shall we return (after death, when He will reward us for our sabr).' (Rasulullaah ﷺ has mentioned that when a person says this at the time of any difficulty, Allaah will reward him and replace his loss with something better.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

من صفة هؤلاء الصابرين أنهم إذا أصابهم شيء يكرهونه قالوا: إنَّا عبيد مملوكون لله، مدبَّرون بأمره وتصريفه، يفعل بنا ما يشاء، وإنا إليه راجعون بالموت، ثم بالبعث للحساب والجزاء.
