أيوب
من
سلالة سيدنا إبراهيم كان من النبيين الموحى إليهم، كان أيوب ذا مال وأولاد
كثيرين ولكن الله ابتلاه في هذا كله فزال عنه، وابتلي في جسده بأنواع
البلاء واستمر مرضه
18 عاما اعتزله فيها الناس إلا امرأته صبرت وعملت لكي توفر قوت يومهما حتى
عافاه الله من مرضه وأخلفه في كل ما ابتلي فيه، ولذلك يضرب المثل بأيوب في
صبره وفي بلائه، روي أن الله يحتج يوم القيامة بأيوب عليه السلام على أهل
البلاء.
Job
[Aiyub] : A descendant of Abraham, Job was a prophet who received Divine
Revelation. He was a wealthy man and had many children. However, Allah
caused him to lose all his fortune and sons and afflicted him with
physical suffering that lasted for 18 years, during which all people
deserted him. Only his wife persevered with him and worked to provide
for him until he regained his health and was compensated for all he had
lost. Job was so great an example of perseverance from suffering that on
the Day of Judgment, Allah will make him a standard to refute the
excuses of those who did not endure suffering.
