روي أن عبد القاهر بن عبد العزيز قال للشافعي يوما: أيما أفضل الصبر أو المحنة أو التمكين؟ فقال الشافعي رحمه الله: التمكين درجة الأنبياء، ولا يكون التمكين إلا بعد المحنة، فإذا امتحن صبر وإذا صبر مكن؛ ألا تري أن الله عز وجل امتحن إبراهيم عليه السلام ثم مكنه، وامتحن موسي عليه السلام ثم مكنه، وامتحن أيوب عليه السلام ثم مكنه، وامتحن سليمان عليه السلام ثم مكنه وآتاه ملكا، والتمكين أفضل الدرجات، قال الله عز وجل (وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنِّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ) وأيوب عليه السلام بعد المحنة العظيمة مكن، قال الله تعالي (وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ)

Additional quotes by Al-Ghazali

If a man knows not his own soul, which is the nearest thing to him, what is the use of his claiming to know others? It is as if a beggar who has not the wherewithal for a meal should claim to be able to, feed a town.

Firstly, there are some who, failing to find God by observation, conclude that there is no God and that this world of wonders made itself, or existed from everlasting. They are like a man who, seeing a beautifully written letter, should suppose that It had written itself without a writer, or had always existed.
