The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said:
1. He onced supplicated: "Oh Allah, don't allow the enemy or the jealous one to rejoice at my misfortune"
2. "He whom Allah intends good, He makes him to suffer from some affliction".
Commentary: Many times we view afflictions and trials as bad things that could not possibly have a bit of good in them. But there are many times where a disaster actually has positive results or may divert or may divert other evil things from us.
3. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The strong man is not one who is good at wrestling, but the strong man is one who controls himself in a fit of rage.''
4. A man asked the Prophet (PBUH) for an advice and he (PBUH) said, "Do not get angry". The man repeated that several times and he replied, "Do not get angry".
5. Also, from the traditions of Muhammad peace be upon him:
A woman came to the Prophet peace be upon him and said: " I suffer from epilepsy and during fits my body is exposed, so make supplication to Allah for me.' He (PBUH) replied: 'If you wish you can endure it patiently and you be rewarded with Paradise, or if you wish, I shall make supplication to Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I shall endure it.' Then she added: `But my body is exposed, so pray to Allah that it may not happen.' He (Prophet (PBUH)) then supplicated for her".

Commentary: In such a difficult circumstance, this woman chose to be patient with her sickness and her only concern was the humility she endures of her body becoming exposed while in a fit. Understandably, most of us would opt to be cured of the disease instead.
