Except if one is sick, we are now healthy and do not know the value of health, but if the disease occurs; we know the value of health; for health is a crown on the heads of the healthy, which is only known by the sick ... this is also good, which is that you recognize the value of the blessing.

And from his goodness is that there may be in this disease things that kill germs in the body that are not killed except by disease; the doctors say some specific diseases kill these germs that are in the body and you do not know.

فَالْحَاصِلُSo the resultأَنَّنَاis that weنَقُولُ :say:أَوَّلًا:First:الشَّرُّThe evilالَّذِيwhichوَصَفَdescribedبِهِby itالْقَدَرُthe destinyهُوَisشَرٌّevilبِالنِّسْبَةِwith respectلِلْمَقْدُورِfor the allottedاللَّهِ،God,أَمَّاas forتَقْدِيرُthe estimationاللَّهِ؛of Allah;فَكُلُّهُall of itخَيْرٌis goodوَالدَّلِيلُand the evidenceقَوْلُthe sayingالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ:of the Prophet ﷺ:وَالشَّرُّAnd the evilلَيْسَis notإِلَيْكَ»to you" (1).

So the result is that we say: First, the evil that is described by destiny is evil with respect to the allotted of God, as for the estimation of Allah; all of it is good and the evidence is the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: "and the evil is not to you" (1).

ثَانِيًاSecondly:أَنْthatالشَّرُّthe evilالَّذِيwhichفِيinالْمَقْدُورِthe predestinedلَيْسَis notشَرًّاpure evil,مَحْضًا،absolute,بَلْbutهَذَاthisالشَّرُّevilقَدْmayيَنْتُجُresult inعَلَيْهِfrom itأُمُورٌmattersهِيَthat areخَيْرٌgoodفَتَكُونُso it becomesالشَّرِّيَّةُthe evilnessبِالنِّسْبَةِwith respect toإِلَيْهِitأَمْرًاa matterإِضَافِيًّا .additional.

Secondly: the evil which is in the predetermined is not pure evil, rather that this evil may result in matters that are good, so the evilness with respect to it is an additional matter.

His saying: "And from the faith in Allah: is the faith in what He described Himself in His book, and in what His messenger Muhammad described by it."
