Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There are three problems which believers always face, even sometimes all at once. 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 top of a mountain, God will appoint a Satan to disturb him. God will designate a companion for him by using his faith so that he does not fear anyone.”
وعنه (عليه السلام) قال
ما أفلت المؤمن من واحدة من ثلاث ولربما اجتمعت الثلاث عليه، إما بعض من يكون معه في الدار يغلق عليه بابه يؤذيه، أو جار يؤذيه، أو من مر في طريقه إلى حوائجه يؤذيه، ولو أن مؤمنا على قلة جبل لبعث الله عليه شيطانا يؤذيه، ويجعل الله له من إيمانه انسا لا يستوحش معه إلى أحد.
