ذم الله سبحانه حزبين: ...حزب إذا نزل بهم الضرّ لم يدعوا الله ولم يتضرعوا إليه ولم يتوبوا إليه؛ كما قال: (ولقد أرسلنا إلى أمم من قبلك فأخذناهم بالبأساء والضراء لعلهم يتضرعون*فلولا إذ جاءهم بأسنا تضرعوا ولكن قست قلوبهم وزين لهم الشيطان ما كانوا يعملون)... وحزب يتضرعون إليه في حال الضراء ويتوبون إليه، فإذا كشفها عنهم أعرضوا عنه... والممدوح هو القسم الثالث: وهم الذين يدعونه ويتوبون إليه، ويثبتون على عبادته والتوبة إليه في حال السراء؛ فيعبدونه ويطيعونه في السراء والضراء. ابن تيمية:3/24-25.
السؤال: اذكر أقسام الناس في الدعاء حال السراء والضراء.

(فأخذناهم بالبأساء والضراء): كان ذلك على وجه التخفيف والتأديب، (فلولا): هذا عرض وتحضيض. وفيه دليل على نفع التضرع حين الشدائد. ابن جزي:1/270.
السؤال: في ضوء الآية بين أهمية التضرع في الشدائد.
