Have You Come to Complain about Allah's Love for You?

It is said that one of them went to a knower of Allah and said to him, "O my master, what if I am not a patient servant and I complained about my fate and my fear?" But the knower of Allah did not answer. So the questioner said, "Why do I only expect betrayal and treachery from those whom I have treated well?" But the knower of Allah did not answer. Then the questioner said, "Why does everyone I love leave me and I am loyal to them with loyalty?" But the knower of Allah did not answer. Then the questioner said, "Why did my loved ones die?" But the knower of Allah did not answer. Then the questioner said, "Why am I lonely?" and he began to cry. But the knower of Allah did not answer. Then the questioner said, "Why do people not think well of me?" But the knower of Allah remained silent. Then the questioner said, "Why does the one I trust lie, and the one I am kind to become harsh, and the one I embrace leave?" "Why is my hand extended with goodness while people's hands are extended with evil? Why do they meet my love with sin, not righteousness?" And he began to cry. Then the knower stood up and placed his hand on the man's heart and said to him, "O brother, I do not know why Allah loves you so much! Perhaps you are one of those I have heard about, those who are the benefactors, the people of high ranks in excellence and virtue... They are the ones who are patient in times of humiliation. Have you come to complain about Allah's love for you?" And the questioner fell silent... and said, “You have hit the mark... you have struck the heart.”
