Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “The most important aspect of obedience to God is being content with and being patient with what God has decreed whether we like it or not. And when one is content with what God has decreed for him, whether he likes it or not, that which is decreed is best for him.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
رأس طاعة الله الصبر والرضا عن الله فيما أحب العبد أو كره، ولا يرضى عبد عن الله فيما أحب أو كره إلا كان خيرا له فيما أحب أو كره.
