Sheikh ibn al–Uthaymīn (رحمه اللّٰه) said:

“We advise a person to rely on himself when it comes to people. Do not ask them for anything, and do not lower yourself in front of them. And make sure you are not in need of them as much as you are able to.

But when it comes to Allah, do not be self-sufficient! But always keep (asking Him and) depending on Him, until things become easier for you.”

End quote.

May Allah ﷻ grant us ease.

Aameen!
