How Wonderful the Affair of the Believer is!

How wonderful is the affair of the believer! There is good in every affair 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 God, thus it’s good for him, and if he gets into trouble he endures it patiently, and that is good for him.
