hadith 1348
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The free is free in all his states: when he is inflicted by a calamity, he shows patience; when afflictions bear down on him, they do not break him, even though he be taken in captivity or defeated and his prosperity turns into poverty, just like the truthful trustworthy Prophet Joseph - blessings of Allah upon him - whose freedom was not affected even when he was enslaved, defeated and captivated.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الحُرَّ حُرٌّ على جميعِ أحْوالِهِ : إنْ نابَتْهُ نائبَةٌ صَبرَ لَها ، وإنْ تَداكَّتْ علَيهِ المَصائبُ لَم تَكْسِرْهُ وإنْ اُسِرَ وقُهِرَ واسْتُبْدِلَ باليُسرِ عُسرا، كما كانَ يُوسُفُ الصِّدِّيقُ الأمينُ صلواتُ اللّهِ علَيهِ : لَم يَضْرُرْ حُرِّيَّتَهُ أنِ اسْتُعبِدَ وقُهِرَ واُسِرَ.
