the story about the patience of prophet Job
the patience of prophet Job: Hazrat Job(Ayub) was living in the city of Sham and after inviting people to worship God for 7 years, only 3 people accepted his invitation. Hazrat'sJob was a rich and hospitable man. But all of a sudden God took away all the wealth and health of Hazrat Ayyub and he fell ill. However, he never complained to God and was still busy in the dhikr of God.
Prophet Job's illness lasted for a long time, people kicked him out of the city and only his wife remained. Hazrat Job's wife suffered a lot during this time and tried hard for Hazrat Ayub's recovery.
Hazrat Job suffered from illness for 7 to 18 years, so all the people blamed him and asked him: How come with so much pain and disease, you still remember God and thank Him?
Prophet Job asked God to end his illness and said:
And [remember] Job, when he called out to his Lord, ‘Indeed distress has befallen me, and You are the most merciful of the merciful.[1]
But finally, God gave the answer to Prophet Job's patience and endurance and said to him: "Strike your feet on the ground." When Hazrat Job hit his foot on the ground with God's command, a clear spring appeared from under his feet. God said, drink from this water and wash in it to be healed.
It was in this way that Hazrat Job was healed and after years of illness, he became completely healthy.
