When things get expensive

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Some people approached Abu Haazim complaining to him, saying: “O Abu Haazim! Do you not see that the prices (of commodities) have gone up?!” He replied: ❝Why does that distress you? The One (i.e. Allaah) who provides sustenance for us when the things are inexpensive is the same Who will provide for us when it gets expensive.❞

[al-Hilyah (3/239)]

Bishr Ibn al-Haarith said: ❝If the increase in prices distresses you out, then remember death, for it will take away from you the distress of the increase in prices.❞

[al-Hilyah (8/347)]

The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Remember more often the destroyer of pleasures.❞ (i.e. death)
