And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He pardons most (of your faults).

And if Allah touch you with affliction, there is none to take it off but He; and if He visit you with good, then He has power over all things.

And when affliction touches a man, he calls on Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove his affliction from him, he passes on as though he had never called on Us on account of an affliction that touched him; thus that which they do is made fair-seeming to the extravagant.

To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy.

What region of the earth is not full of our calamities? [Lat., Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris.]
