Al-Baqara • EN-AL-JALALAYN
﴿ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْرِى نَفْسَهُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفٌۢ بِٱلْعِبَادِ ﴾
“But there is [also] a kind of man who would willingly sell his own self in order to please God: and God is most compassionate towards His servants.”
But there are other men who sell themselves expend themselves in obedience to God desiring God’s pleasure this was Suhayb b. Sinān al-Rūmī who emigrated to Medina when the idolaters began to persecute him leaving them all his property; and God is Gentle with His servants for He guides them to what pleases Him.
