Expect good from Allah

Hayyan Abi al-Nadrah reported: I went out to visit Yazid ibn al-Aswad as he was suffering a fatal illness, and I met Wathilah ibn al-Asqa’ رضي الله عنه who also wanted to visit him. We entered Yazid’s home and Wathilah رضى الله عنه said, “What do you expect from Allah?” Yazid said, “By Allah, I expect good from Allah.”

Sayyiduna Wathilah رضي الله عنه said:

Rejoice! For I heard the Messenger of Allah  صلى الله عليه وسلم say that Allah Almighty said:_

I am as my servant expects me. If he expects good, he will have it. If he expects evil, he will have it.

(Sahih Ibn Hibban 641)
