Shaykh Badar ibn Naadir al-Mashaaree narrates:
When he returned from America after [medical] treatment, he was asked as to his health and condition. So the Shaykh said some words worthy of being written in gold:
“Know that both illness and good health do not come before or after their [decreed] time. Indeed my time has been written and your time has been written [even] before Allaah created the heavens and the earth. So believe in this, for certainly I have believed in this.”
