Like all great people the imam had a few adversaries of his own. I think what he means by this is no matter what they say or do to belittle him he would become more humble and softer in speech.

Ibn-ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah) :

❝ The year is like a tree, months are its branches, days are the branch sticks, hours are its leaves, and the breaths are its fruits. Therefore, if one's breaths are in obedience [to Allah and His Messenger], the fruits of his tree are good. If they are in disobedience, his fruits are bitter. The harvest is on the Appointed Day, when one's fruits are found out to be either good or bitter.❞

Trials and tribulation are feeling the heat and the cold, when one knows that they cannot be avoided, he will not feel anger at their onset, nor will he be distressed of disheartened. (Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Madaarij 3/289) The perfection of Tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allaah, the servant is left loving those He loves and What He loves, hating those He hates and what He hates, showing allegiance to those He has allegiance to, showing enmity towards those He shows enmity towards, ordering what He orders and prohibiting what He prohibits. (Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Madaarij 3/485)

 

[Muslim Woman]

Wishing someone to lose a blessing because you are envious of them is a sign that you do not know your Rabb at all! He is ar-Razzaaq, He provides for all the creatures of the heavens and the earth day and night. So why wish for something petty that belongs to someone else? Ultimately, even if they lose that blessing, you will never get any peace from it - because peace does not stem from envy.

Raise your standards HIGHER and ask Him for anything and everything beyond your wildest imaginations! You will never worry about what others have or don't have anymore!
