From the cures for hasad:

"Always remember that in actuality you are questioning Allaah سبحانه و تعالى' wisdom as to why He chose to bestow that specific person with that particular blessing. Not to mention the worries, stress and heartaches; none of which affects the one who is being envied."

تذكرة السامع المتكلم في أدب العالم والمتعلم - ابن جماعة

قال المروذي : (( كان أبو عبد الله -أي : الإمام أحمد-

أريد أن أكون في شعب بمكة حتى لا أعرف، قد بليت بالشهرة، إني أتمنى الموت صباحاً ومساءً )). [ سير أعلام النبلاء ( 11/ 215 )].

Imaam Ahmad رحمه الله تعالى: “I want to live in a remote valley of Makkah where no one will recognise me. I have been afflicted with fame. I desire death every morning and evening.”

Okay so I thought I should write this up before I forget about it. Today I was at an aunties house and we were talking about various things. One amongst them was Allah and his mercy. She narrated to me an incident she heard.

A man who had committed several bad deeds had passed away. His wife was pregnant at the time of his death. Due to his gunna(bad deeds) his grave was made unpleasant for him. As months passed, his wife gave birth to a son. About three years later, his wife decides to put her son in Quran lessons because she wanted him to know the words of Allah (SWT). The child began to learn and the first phrase he said was "Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Raheem", which means "In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful". Upon hearing these words, Allah commanded the angels to go and relieve the man from his torments in his grave. The angels then asked Allah, "Allah this man has wronged deeply. Why are you asking us to relieve him?" Allah then says, "This mans child has just called me the most merciful...the most gracious.."
