Sahih Muslim 2999
The believer's affair is all good: when ease comes, they are grateful; when hardship comes, they are patient.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — Sahih Muslim 2999
The text in Arabic
عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ؛ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ

How this appears in Nour Daily
Nour Daily shows one reminder a day, chosen from this bank and rotated so a passage does not return until the rest have had their turn. The same reminder appears on the home-screen widget in the language the app is set to, with the Hijri date beside it, and can be saved to favourites to return to. There is no feed to scroll and no second reminder waiting behind the first — the design assumes one line, read properly, beats twenty skimmed.
