“O Allah! Unto You do I complain of my weakness, of my helplessness and of my lowliness before men. O most Merciful of the merciful. O Lord of the weak and my Lord too. Into whose hands have you entrusted me? Unto some far off stranger who receives me with hostility? Or unto a foe whom you have empowered against me? I care not, so long as You are not angry with me. But Your favouring help, that were for me the broader way and the wider scope. I take refuge in the light of Your countenance whereby all darknesses are illuminated and all things of this world and the next are rightly ordered, lest You make descend Your anger upon me or lest Your wrath beset me. Yet it is Yours to reproach until You are well pleased. There is no power and no might except through Thee.” This famous dua’a of our Prophet (pbuh) is an example of how a servant of God is ever so grateful to his Lord despite the difficulty that he may be going through. He exhibited true Prophetic patience and humbled himself to the point where all he really cared for was whether Allah was pleased with him. Soon after he made this duaa, Allah had sent his Angel Gabriel who was ready to destroy the people of Taif if the Prophet (pbuh) had wanted to take revenge. Our merciful Messenger instead decided not to take revenge and pleaded for their forgiveness as they may one day leave descendants who will become believers. That is how far sighted Muhammad (pbuh) was.
