P. 22
The Prophet Muhammad (saas)
when he was in the cave, and that every situation was ordained by Allah.
He had faith that everything came from Allah and would result in the
best possible outcome. The following hadith of the Prophet (saas) is an
example of his submission:
"Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every af-
fair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the
case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight he
thanks [Allah], thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets
into trouble and shown resignation (and endures it patiently),
there is a good for him in it." 7
The Prophet (saas) always did his best, whatever the situation,
though knowing that the outcome depended on Allah. He relied on and
trusted in Him. In return for that submission, Allah granted him strength
and success.
Allah instructed the Prophet (saas) to be patient in the face of those
who made problems for him, and he was faithful to that prescription
throughout his life. One verse says:

The words the Prophet (saas) was commanded to say in another
trying situation also reveal his godliness and submission:
