Do not rejoice in what you have done or are doing, nor in what has befallen us; for by that your station will not increase, if you would look upon your deeds with the eye of certainty. Nor will anything be diminished from us; rather, God increases our reward for what we have endured with patience in afflictions, and indeed He increases the reward of the patient. So know that afflictions and trials have always been assigned to the chosen ones of God and His beloved ones, then to His devoted servants whom neither trade nor sale distracts from the remembrance of God, who do not precede Him in speech, and who act by His command. Thus has the way of God run from before.
