Don’t Believe First and Then Look for Proof
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

رسالة إلى المصلين الذين يتأخرون عن الصلوات وخاصة طلبة العلم
يقول الشيخ العلامة صالح الفوزان حفظه الله
نعم ، لكن مع الأسف الآن أكثر طلبة العلم وأكثر الكبار ما يجون إلا في الأخير أو إذا فات بعض الصلاة ، وإذا رأيت اللي يتمون الصلاة بعد الإمام تجد أكثرهم من طلبة العلم وهذا من عدم العمل بالعلم ومن الحرمان ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم ، نعم ، إلا ما شاء الله ، لا نقول كل الناس كذا ، لكن نقول الظاهرة هذه ظاهرة موجودة الآن مع الأسف تشوف أكثر الناس في الغالب من طلبة العلم

The Beneficial Love is the Religious Love and Not the Natural Love
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Alee Ibn Aadam al-Etiyoobi (may Allah preserve him) mentioned a benefit from that which took place with the Prophet’s uncle Abu Taalib when he refused to say “Laa Ilaaha Illallaah”:
The beneficial love is the religious love and not the natural love. Indeed Abu Taalib used to love the Prophet with strong love. He used to give precedence to him over his own children. However, that didn’t benefit him since he didn’t love him with the legislated love which carries (a person) upon following him (i.e. the Prophet) and submitting to his legislation.
Seeking The Reward For Patience
The Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon) stated:
If the person faces the calamities (that befall him) with patience without seeking the reward (for being patient), it becomes an expiation for his sins. If he is patient along with seeking the reward (for being patient), then it becomes a reward along with it being an expiation of the sins. The meaning of seeking the reward is that the person believes within himself that he will be rewarded for this patience, therefore having a good thought about Allah. So Allah gives him (the good) which he thought about Him.
