Ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه said: إِن العبد ليهم بالأَمر من التجا | Gems & Benefits 📚💭
Ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه said:
إِن العبد ليهم بالأَمر من التجارة والإِمارة حتى ييسر له، فينظر اللَّهُ إِليه فيقول للملائكة: اصرفوه عنه، فإِنه إِن يسرته له أَدخلته النّار، فيصرفه اللَّه عنه،فيظل يتطيًر يقول: سبقني فلان دهاني فلان، وما هو إِلَّا فضل اللَّه عز وجل
"Indeed, a person will embark upon an affair of business or a position of authority until it becomes easy for him and he is close to achieving it. Then Allāh will look at him and say to the angels: 'Turn that away from him, for surely if I facilitate this for him, I will enter him into the Hellfire (due to it)." So Allāh will turn this affair away from him.
The person will continue to see this as a bad thing and will say: 'So and so beat me to this, so and so outsmarted me.' But in reality it is a blessing from Allāh."
