It is said that once Hasan Al-Basri had a very sharp headache, so he tied a bandana over his head. Rabia Al-Adawiyyah saw him and inquired the cause of the bandana, to which Hasan Al-Basri told her of the headache.
She asked him if this headache is something he gets often. He replied that Allah has blessed him with good health and it is after many years that he had a headache this severe.
βIs it not strange that Allah gave you good health for years, and then when He afflicts you with some pain, you wear a banner on your head to advertise your pain?β
Hasan Al-Basri said that after that day, he never ever complained of any hardship he faced.
==========================================
I seek forgiveness from Allah for the lack of my sincerity when I say I seek the forgiveness of Allah β Rabia Al-Adawiyyah
