Giving and Receiving...comes from the Almighty

"Whenever Allah gives a blessing to a servant,

and then takes it back from him, 

and the servant patiently endures his loss - 

then He rewards him with a blessing 

which is better than the one which He took back."

- Hazrat Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz, may Allah be well-pleased with him.
