Some references for optimism:

  • I was in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the cave, and on seeing the traces of the pagans, I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) If one of them (pagans) should lift up his foot, he will see us." He said, "What do you think of two, the third of whom is Allah?" (Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • See also the lengthy Sahih hadith with the following statement also quoting the story of Hijrah:

    …"Don't grieve for Allah is with us"... (For example in Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it. (Sahih Muslim)

And in the hadith al-Qudsi:

  • “Allah, Blessed is He and Most High, said: ‘O son of Adam! Verily as long as you called upon Me and hoped in Me, I forgave you, despite whatever may have occurred from you, and I did not mind. O son of Adam! Were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky, then you sought forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you, and I would not mind. So son of Adam! If you came to me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and then you met Me not associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as it.’” (Jami' at-Tirmidhi)

And here some hadith references against pessimism:

  • When a person says that people are ruined he is himself ruined. Abu Ishaq said: I do not know whether he said" ahlakahum or ahlakuhum. (Sahih Muslim)

  • There is no transitive disease, no divination, but good omen pleases me, i. e. the good word or a good word. (Sahih Muslim)

We may further find many optimistic qur'an quotes, but this wasn't asked.
