: Prophet Ayyub alayhissalaam here doesnt go beyond describing his condition: I have been afflicted with great distress (Quran 21:83), and describing his Lord by His attribute: And you are the most merciful of those who are merciful. And then he doesnt pray for his situation to be changed, patiently enduring his hardship, and does not make any suggestions to His Lord, out of respectfulness and reverence for Him. Thus he is an example for the patient servant; his heart doesnt become distressed in hardship, and he doesnt become restless when he suffers the distresses that everyone suffers in all times and eras. Rather he is too shy to ask his Lord to remove his hardship, but leaves the matter entirely to Him, certain of His knowledge of the condition and His needlessness of being asked. And at the moment when Ayyub faced his Lord with such faith and such respectful manners, that moment became the moment of Allahs answer and mercy, and the end of the trial. -Late Sayyid Qutb (Rahimullah)
