Hadith 484
۞
5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from abu al-Bakhtari from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘I find My believing servant depressed if I provide his sustenance in stringent measures; a condition that is closer to Me but 1 find My believing servant happier when I provide his sustenance plentifully; however, such condition is further away from Me.’”
5ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَحْزَنُ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ إِنْ قَتَّرْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَذَلِكَ أَقْرَبُ لَهُ مِنِّي وَيَفْرَحُ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ إِنْ وَسَّعْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَذَلِكَ أَبْعَدُ لَهُ مِنِّي.
