Ash-Sharh 94:5

With hardship comes ease

"For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease." The promise is repeated twice. The scholars noted that "hardship" comes with the definite article while "ease" does not - one hardship is surrounded by more than one ease. Ease does not only come after the difficulty; it comes with it: the patience you are given, the people who support you, the du'a that is opened to you.
