hadith 1658

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer always has one or more of the following troubles. Either a person with whom he lives in the same house will close the door and not let him in, or there is a neighbor who will bother him, or someone will bother him on his way to work. Even if a believer lives on the top of a mountain, God will appoint a Satan to disturb him. God will establish a companion out of his own faith for him not to fear anyone.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

ما أفلت المؤمن من واحدة من ثلاث، ولربما اجتمعت الثلاث عليه: إما بغض من يكون معه في الدار يغلق عليه بابه ويؤذيه، أو جار يؤذيه، أو من في طريقه إلى حوائجه يؤذيه، ولو أن مؤمنا على قلة جبل لبعث الله إليه شيطانا يؤذيه، ويجعل الله له من إيمانه انسا لا يستوحش معه إلى أحد.

hadith 1659

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “If a believer is at sea on just a piece of wood, God will send a Satan to bother him.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

لو أن مؤمنا على لوح في البحر لقيض الله له شيطانا يؤذيه.

hadith 1661

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer is always faced with either another believer who is jealous of him- this being the easiest problem, or a hypocrite who is always in his pursuit, or an enemy who is fighting him, or a Satan who fools him.”

قال (عليه السلام): أربعة لا يخلو منهن المؤمن أو واحدة منهن: مؤمن يحسده وهي أيسرهن، ومنافق يقفو إثره، وعدو يجاهده، وشيطان يفتنه.

hadith 1666

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer always suffers either from a neighbor who is jealous of him, or a Satan who beguiles him, or a hypocrite who always follows him, or a believer who is jealous of him.” Suma’eh asked: “May I be your devoted servant! A believer is jealous of him?” The Imam (a.s) replied: “Yes. Know that this is the worst of them all.” Suma’eh asked why. Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “Because he slanders and others acknowledge it.”

قال الصادق (عليه السلام): لا ينفك المؤمن من خصال أربع: من جار يؤذيه، وشيطان يغويه، ومنافق يقفو إثره، ومؤمن يحسده، قال سماعة: قلت: جعلت فداك مؤمن يحسده؟ قال: يا سماعة، أما إنه أشدهم عليه، قلت: وكيف ذلك؟ قال: لأنه يقول القول فيه فيصدق عليه.

hadith 1669

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “God has established a covenant with a believer in four areas: the hardest one is a believer who says the same things but is jealous of him; a hypocrite who always follows him; Satan who influences and corrupts him; and an infidel who does not believe in what he believes in, and considers fighting with the believer as a holy war for himself. Then how can a believer survive all this?”

عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال

إن الله أخذ ميثاق المؤمن على بلايا أربع: أشدها عليه مؤمن مثله يقول مثل قوله ويحسده، والثاني: منافق يقفو إثره، والثالث: شيطان يتعرض بنفسه ويضله، والرابع: كافر بالذي آمن به المؤمن، يرى جهاده جهادا فما بقاء المؤمن على هذا؟.

hadith 1680

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There are more Satans around a believer than there are flies stuck to meat.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

الشياطين على المؤمن أكثر من الذباب على اللحم.
