Recompense for Patience is Guaranteed
If he was caused hurt because of something He did for the sake of Allāh or because of a deed he was ordered to do in obedience to Him or something made forbidden for him from the things of disobedience to Allāh; it is compulsory on him to persevere. He has no right to revenge because he was caused harm for the sake of Allāh and His rewards are guaranteed with Allāh.
It is for this reason that when the blood and property of those fighting in the course of Allāh are lost for Allāh's sake, no compensations are paid since Allāh had purchased their life and wealth.
So the price is with Allāh, not the creatures. Whoever among them that seeks compensations (from the people) would have not any price with Allāh; for whoever's loss is for the sake of Allāh has his recompense guaranteed by Allāh.
And if he had been caused hurt due to a test, then he should return to examine his own soul. His self-check would busy him away from blaming those who caused him hurt.
And if he had been caused hurt to due a shame, he should still stick to perseverance; because attaining delights involve something more unpalatable than perseverance.
Consequently, whoever would not patiently bear the scorching sun, the rains, snow, the travails of journeying and the thieves on the road has no need to be in business.
This is something well known among people; that whoever is really truthful about his craving for anything necessarily expends as much perseverance to achieve it as his true conviction for his craving.
