The answer

People are of different categories in their knowledge of Allah: The first category are those who know Him in ease and hardship. The second are those who know Him in ease but not in hardship. The third are those who know Him in hardship but not in ease. The fourth are those who do not know Him in ease or in hardship. And whoever calls upon Allah in hardship after having been negligent in ease has violated a condition for the acceptance of supplication, for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Become acquainted with Allah in ease, and He will know you in hardship."
