hadith 1706

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There will not pass forty days before God either descends a calamity or a physical illness upon a believer so as to reward him for it.”

عنه (عليه السلام)

ما يمر بالمؤمن أربعون يوما وما يعاهده الله إما بمرض في جسده أو بمصيبة يأجره الله عليها.

hadith 1711

Abi Salih narrated that he suffered from leg pain and Imam Sadiq (a.s) passed by his store while he was resting. Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked him how he felt. He told him that his legs hurt. Imam Sadiq (a.s) invited him to his house. When Abi Salih went to Imam Sadiq (a.s)'s house, Imam Sadiq (a.s) put his hands on his legs and prayed for him to get well. Then he said

“When God loves someone, he appoints an angel to hurt him so that he prays to God, and God hears his voice. When God is angry with someone, He appoints an angel to keep him free from trouble so that he does not call God in prayer since God does not like him to pray and ask him for something.”

عن أبي صالح قال

اشتكيت رجلي بالمدينة فمر بي أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام) وأنا على المنامة بالدكان، فقال: ما لك؟ قلت: أشتكي رجلي، فقال: إيتيني المنزل فأتيته، فوضع يده عليه ودعا لي، ثم قال: إن الله إذا أحب عبدا وكل به ملكا يبتليه لكي يدعو فيسمع صوته، وإذا أبغض عبدا وكل به ملكا فيقول: لا تبتله بشئ فأنا أكره أن يدعو وأن يسألني.

hadith 1723

Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that the

Prophet of God (a.s) told his companions: “You should ask God for health, since you are not from those who will suffer from calamities.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لأصحابه: سلوا ربكم العافية فإنكم لستم من أصحاب البلاء.

hadith 1724

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of Imam Sajjad (a.s)

“I do not like anyone who is constantly healthy in this world, and never suffers from any calamities.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

كان علي بن الحسين (عليهما السلام) يقول: إني لأكره في الرجل أن يعافى في الدنيا، فلا يصيبه شئ من مصائبها.
