Ill effects of grief on the slaves of Allaah

بـسـم الله والحمد لله والـصلاة والـسلام على رسول الله، وبـعـد

The Prophet ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

❝O Allaah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men.❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree]

🎓 Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

❝(Some of) the reasons that the Prophet ﷺ sought Allaah's refuge from (worry and) grief is because it:
⚡Weakens the heart
⚡ Dampens the resolution (determination)
⚡ Harms the will (to move on)
(⚡ Prevents from making proper decisions).

There is nothing more beloved to Shaitaan than seeing a Believer in grief.

As Allaah تعالى said:

إِنَّمَا النَّجْوَىٰ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا

{Secret counsels (conspiracies) are only from Shaitaan (Satan), in order that he may cause grief to the Believers}
📚 [Surah al-Mujaadalah (58):10]❞

📚 [Tareeq al-Hijratain (2/607)]
