Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُبَارَكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَفْضَلُ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ فَإِنْ غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ فَقُلْ قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ وَإِيَّاكَ وَاللَّوَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّوَّ يُفْتَحُ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'The strong believer is better, more virtuous, and more beloved to Allah the Almighty than the weak believer, and in each there is good. Strive for what benefits you and do not feel helpless. If something befalls you, say: Allah has decreed and what He willed He has done. And beware of saying "if only," for "if only" opens the door to the work of Satan.'
