مَتَى رَزَقَكَ الطَّاعَةَ وَالْغِنَى بِهِ عَنْهَا فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكَ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً

Whenever He grants you obedience, together with sufficiency in Him that frees you from reliance on it, know that He has lavished His graces upon you, outward and inward.

Ibn ʿAbbād

المطلوب من العبد شيان اقامة الأمر فى الظاهر والتعلق بالله فى الباطن وهو الاستغناء به عن غيره فاذا رزق الله تعالى العبد هذين الأمرين فقد أسبغ الله عليه نعمه ظاهرة وباطنة

What is required of the servant (*ʿabd*) is two things: upholding the command (*iqāmat al-amr*) outwardly (*fī al-ẓāhir*), and attachment (*taʿalluq*) to God inwardly (*fī al-bāṭin*), which is finding in Him one's sufficiency apart from all else (*istighnāʾ*). So when God Most High grants the servant these two things, God has lavished upon him His blessings, outward and inward.
