Imam Reza (a.s) said: “One of the Israelites worshipped God for forty years. Then he made a sacrifice but it was not accepted. He said to himself that it must be his own fault. God the Almighty revealed to him “Your blaming yourself was better than the forty years of worshipping.”
عن الرضا (عليه السلام) قال
إن رجلا في بني إسرائيل عبد الله أربعين سنة، ثم قرب قربانا فلم يقبل منه، فقال لنفسه: ما أتيت إلا منك وما الذنب إلا لك، فأوحى الله تعالى إليه: ذمك نفسك أفضل من عبادتك أربعين سنة.
