hadith 68
Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of the Prophet (a.s)
“I am amazed by a believer. God the Almighty does not destine anything for him unless there is some benefit in it for him. He should be patient if he is suffering from a calamity, and he should be grateful if he is granted something.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): عجبا للمؤمن! إن الله عز وجل لا يقضي له قضاء إلا كان له خيرا، إن ابتلي صبر، وإن أعطي شكر.

hadith 79
Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): “When God the Almighty sent Adam (a.s) from Heaven down to Earth, He ordered him to cultivate the Earth and eat the products of his manual labour. Adam (a.s) was wandering around and cried for two hundred years for being thrown out of Heaven. Then he prostrated to God, and stayed in prostration for three days and nights. Then he said
“O' God! Did You not create me with your own hands?” God replied: “Yes, but were you grateful and patient?” Adam said: “There is no God but You. I oppressed myself. Forgive me since You are the Merciful, the Benevolent.” God the Almighty had mercy upon him for crying and accepted his repentance and forgave him. God is kind and accepts repentance.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الله تبارك وتعالى حين أهبط آدم - صلوات الله عليه - على الأرض أمر أن يحرث بيده، فيأكل من كده بعد الجنة ونعيمها، فلبث يجول ويبكي على الجنة مائتي سنة، ثم إنه سجد لله فلم يرفع رأسه ثلاثة أيام بلياليها، ثم قال: يا رب ألم تخلقني بيديك؟ قال الله: قد فعلت، فهل صبرت أو شكرت؟ قال آدم: " لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني ظلمت نفسي فاغفر لي أنت الغفور الرحيم " فرحم الله تبارك وتعالى بكاءه فتاب عليه، إنه هو التواب الرحيم.

hadith 87
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty granted some blessings to a nation. That nation did not thank God for these blessings. The blessings turned into trouble for them. God brought some calamities upon another nation. They were patient, therefore those calamities were converted into blessings for them.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله عز وجل أنعم على قوم فلم يشكروا فصارت عليهم وبالا، وابتلى قوما بالمصائب فصبروا فصارت عليهم نعمة.
