Ayub (as) he had 14 children and he had great health and wealth everybody loved him
One day after 80 years allah(swt) took away all of his fourteen children one by one
then he took away his wealth then he took away his health until the narrations says that his skin used to fall of his body until you could see his muscles and bones
he is still alive breathing
not only that people began to say if this man was a good person then allah would not have done this to him
so he lost his close friends
one day his wife came in and said ya ayub(as) is it not enough now can't you ask allah to get rid of this. its enough... we have gone through too much
Ayub (as) then said my wife how long did allah (swt) give us his blessings for
she said 80 years or so
he said i am too shy to ask allah to cure me yet till 80 years of this time has gone as well
he has given me so much
it was after seven years however when he saw his wife resorting to take from her hair and selling it
that he said rabbi (lord)
even look at the way he asks allah to cure him he didn't say oh allah cure me
oh allah you have harmed me oh allah you have bought this sickness take it away from me
he said oh lord harm has afflicted me he didn't even tribute it allah (swt)
because when harm comes to a muslim when allah (swt) afflicts you with some kind of hardship it is actually good for you
im going to say the hadith in a minute
and you are the most merciful
allah says
we took away all the harm away from you
we gave him his family back and his children back and doubled their amount
we gave him wealth grasshoppers like the shape of grasshoppers of gold began to rain on ayub (as) he use to pick them up
and he use to... more then what he had in a hadith it says that he would go around and pick as much as he can so quickly
And then allah sent jibraeel (as) and said to him ya ayub are you not given enough blessings why are you trying to hug everything up
Don't worry we are giving you blessings why are you so quick to gather it all
he said ya rab who is there that can take enough of your blessings
so a muslim allah loves to see his servant taking from his blessings and thanking allah for his blessings
if when in the hardship they also thank allah and are patient
the prophet (saw) said
strange is the matter of the believer for anything that happens to him or her is good subhanallah
when something good happens to them they thank allah when something bad happens to allah they are patient because allah says in the quran
we shall surely trail you with a lot of health
and wealth and fear and hunger and lots of lives
and lots of fruits and food and give glad tidings to those who are patient the one's when a calamity befalls they to allah we belong to allah we shall return
