Underneath, a single passage was highlighted in gold: “The servant’s hardship in seeking truth is never lost. Not a single sigh of frustration over a broken scanner, nor a sleepless night chasing a missing footnote. Allah records it all. But the shaytan whispers: ‘Your work is dust.’ The cure for that whisper is to remember that the ink of a scholar is weighed against the blood of a martyr on the Day of Reckoning—not because of the size of the PDF, but because of the intention behind the struggle.” Omar froze.

There was no text. Just an attachment: Majmoo_al_Fatawa_Ibn_Taymiyyah_English_Searchable.pdf
It was the fatwa on patience.
