Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 426 upon him even greater wealth, riches, slaves, maids, and chil- dren than before and God restored his health as well. Thus, when man shows patience and endurance, he gets to have everything. Whatever a person does, it should be accord- ing to the pleasure of God. How wonderful is the saying of Sheikh Sa‘di, which means that: ب وخردن اطخ اتس آ ہک ےب مکح رشع ی روا اتس ر ن ي ارگ وخن ہب وتفی ٰ رب� Meaning that, even if you drink water against the will of Allah, it is a sin, although it is permissible to even shed blood in obe- dience to His command. So I tell you very truly that if man desires something besides God, he neither gets that nor does he get God because everything besides God is doomed to end. However, the person who chooses God, he finds God and he gets other things too and whatever he desires certainly comes to be fulfilled. I have now said what I had wanted to say for the sake of God. You should guard your faith. 1 1. Al- H akam, vol. 12, no. 48, p. 1–2, dated 22 August 1908 (Copied from Tehshizul-Azhan )
