Prophet Ayyub ﷺ was blessed with abundant wealth, flourishing lands, and a large family before being tested through the loss of his possessions, children, and severe physical affliction. Throughout years of suffering, his tongue remained continuously occupied with praise of Allah. When he supplicated: 'Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful' (Al-Anbiya 21:83), Allah commanded him to strike the ground with his foot, causing a cool spring to gush forth for washing and drinking. Allah restored his health, wealth, and family twofold.
« إِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ صَابِرًا ۚ نِّعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ »
