Be Contended with Allah's Management

It is related of Umar ibn al-Khattab [may God be pleased with him] that he said:

"I do not care is what condition I find myself when morning comes,
whether it is disagreeable to me or to my liking,
because I do not know in which of them lies the good."

He could say this because he was well contended with Allah's management,
and satisfied with His choice and His judgment.

Allah [Exalted is He] has said:

....It may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you,
and may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you.
Allah knows, and you know not. [Quran- 2:216]
