لَا تُفْرِحْكَ الطَّاعَةُ لِانَّهَا بَرَزَتْ مِنْكَ وَافْرَحْ بِهَا لِانَّهَا بَرَزَتْ مِنَ اللَّهِ اِلَيْكَ قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

Let not obedience gladden you because it issued from you; rather, be glad of it because it issued from God to you. "Say: In the bounty of God and in His mercy, in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they amass" (Qur'an 10:58).

Ibn ʿAbbād

الفرح بالطاعة على وجهين فرح بها من حيث شهودها من الله تعالى نعمة منه وفضلا فهذا هو الفرح المحمود وهو الذى طلب من العبد وذلك هو مقتضى شكرها وفرح بها من حيث ظهورها من العبد باختياره وارادته وحوله وقوته فهذا هو فرح مذموم منهى عنه

Joy (*faraḥ*) in obedience is of two kinds. There is joy in it insofar as one witnesses (*shuhūd*) it as coming from God Most High, a blessing (*niʿma*) and a bounty (*faḍl*) from Him. This is praiseworthy joy; it is what is asked of the servant, and it is what gratitude (*shukr*) for that obedience requires. And there is joy in it insofar as it appears from the servant through his own choice (*ikhtiyār*) and will (*irāda*), his own power and strength (*ḥawl wa-quwwa*). This is blameworthy joy, and it is forbidden.
