Imam Ali (AS) said, No one puts joy in a [believers] heart except that Allah creates a grace from that joy, so whenever any calamity befalls him, it (the grace) flows over it just like the flowing of water until it expels the calamity from him just as the unfamiliar camel is expelled from the group of camels.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ما أوْدَعَ أحَدٌ (ما مِنْ أحَد أوْدَعَ) قَلْباً سُرُوراً إلاّ خَلَقَ اللّهُ مِنْ ذلِكَ السُّرُورِ لُطْفاً فَإذا نَزَلَتْ بِهِ نائِبَةٌ جَرى إلَيْها كَالماءِ فِي انْحِدارِهِ حَتّى يَطْرُدَها عَنْهُ كَما تَطْرُدُ الغَريبَةُ مِنَ الإبِلِ
