Understanding The Prophet's Life

Almighty's Wrath
The Prophet, peace be upon him, sought refuge in Allah from trials, envy, treachery, ignorance, all those things that detract from the dignity of a human being. Nonetheless, he was able to and did accept abuse or insults from others - for the sake of his attachment to the Lord. What concerned him above all was that he should never become the object of the Almighty's wrath. In his prayers he would often say:
'If Your wrath be not upon me, I worry not. But Your favour would be far more liberal.'
