[2499] These select few are an exception; they constantly wage the most arduous battles against their baser selves so as to purify their souls: “By time!* Verily man is in ˹constant˺ loss. *Except those who Believe and do good, and enjoin on each other Truth, and enjoin on each other patience” (103: 1-3). Ṣuhayb al-Rūmī (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Wondrous indeed is the affair of the Believer! His affair is all good which applies to none but a Believer. When he comes by bliss, he becomes thankful and that is better for him; and when adversity touches him he becomes patient and that is better for him!” (Muslim: 2999)
