Abu ‘Uthmaan Sa’eed bin Ismaa’eel An-Naysaaburi said:
“Whoever governs himself by the Sunnah – in word and deed – will speak with wisdom. But whoever governs himself according to his own desires will speak heresies, because Allah Tabaaraka wa Ta’aalaa said:
“And if you obey him (the Messenger) you will be guided” [Surat An-Noor: 54]
– Abu Nu’aym in Al-Hilyah 10/244, and others.
After mentioning this and other similar narrations, Shaykh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
“It is as they said, for if a person does not follow what the Messenger came with he will act according to his own wishes. Thus he will be one who follows his desires without guidance from Allaah.”
– Minhaaj As-Sunnah 5/117

What is truly intriguing about the lives of the companions of the Prophet(saw) is their ability to see through trials and tribulations through eman(faith)-filled lenses and see them as beneficial. What is hard and painful such as an illness, can now be sweet and cherished because as Muslims, we know that anything that causes us anxiety and stress is a means of purification from our sins. Here is a small example from Abu Huraira who considers the fever to be his favorite illness!
Abu Hurayrah’s favorite illness
Abu Hurayrah – may Allah be pleased with him – said:
“There is no illness that afflicts me more beloved to me than fever: it enters every part of me and [because of it] Allah the Mighty and Sublime gives every part of me its share of reward.”
Shaykh Al-Albaani’s Saheeh Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1/198.
