hadith 23
Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of his fathers (a.s) upon the authority of Imam Ali (a.s) that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“One of the signs of certitude is that you do not displease God to please the people, and do not admire the people for the daily bread that God has granted you through them, and that you do not blame the people for God depriving you of your daily bread. No one's greed will bring him an increase in his daily bread, and no one's jealousy will stop one's daily bread. If one tries to escape from his daily bread as he escapes from death, one's daily bread seeks its owner faster than death does. In fact, God the Almighty has established comfort and peace of mind in certitude and contentment, and has established sorrow and discomfort in anger and doubt.”
عن أبي عبد الله عن آبائه عن علي (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن من اليقين أن لا ترضوا الناس بسخط الله، ولا تحمدوهم على ما رزقكم الله، ولا تذموهم على ما لم يؤتكم الله، إن الرزق لا يجره حرص حريص ولا يرده كراهة كاره، ولو أن أحدكم فر من رزقه - كما يفر من الموت - لكان رزقه أشد له طلبا، وأسرع إدراكا من الموت، إن الله تعالى جعل الروح والراحة في اليقين والرضى، وجعل الهم والحزن في الشك والسخط.

hadith 24
Abdullah ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“One of the signs of the perfection of certitude of a Muslim is that he does not please the people through raising God's anger.” In another tradition it is stated that he said: “Before death his daily bread will seek him just as his death does.” He then added: “God the Almighty has established comfort and happiness in certitude and contentment due to His justice and has established sorrow and sadness in doubt and anger. Therefore be content with divine destiny and submit to God's orders.”
عن عبد الله بن سنان قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): من صحة يقين المرء المسلم أن لا يرضي الناس بسخط الله. ثم ساق الحديث نحوا من حديث ميمون، إلا أنه قال: لأدركه رزقه قبل موته كما يدركه الموت، ثم قال: إن الله بعدله وقسطه وعلمه جعل الروح والفرج في اليقين والرضى عن الله عز وجل، وجعل الهم والحزن في الشك والسخط، فارضوا عن الله وسلموا لأمره.
