مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ اِقَامَةِ الْحَقِّ لَكَ فِى الشَّئِ اِقَامَتُهُ اِيَّاكَ فِيهِ مَعَ حُصُولِ النَّتَائِجِ

Ibn ʿAbbād

لا اعتبار بما يقوم فيه العبد بنفسه من عمل أو حال وانما العبرة بما يقيمه فيه ربه وعلامة اقامة الله عبده فى الشئ أن يديمه عليه ويحصل له ثمرته ونتيجته

No account is taken of any work (*ʿamal*) or state (*ḥāl*) in which the servant (*ʿabd*) establishes himself by his own self (*nafs*); what truly counts is only that in which his Lord establishes him. The sign of God's establishing His servant in a thing is that He keeps him constantly in it and brings about for him its fruit (*thamara*) and its result (*natīja*).
