۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Jesus the son of Mary once sent two of his companions out to work. One returned thin like a dried stick and the other one returned and was chubby. Jesus asked the first one why he was thin. He said it was due to his fear of God. Then Jesus asked the one who was chubby for the reason he was chubby. He said it was due to his having a good opinion about God.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
بعث عيسى بن مريم رجلين من أصحابه في حاجة، فرجع أحدهما مثل الشن البالي، والآخر شحما وسمينا، فقال للذي مثل الشن: ما بلغ منك ما أرى؟ قال: الخوف من الله، وقال للآخر السمين: ما بلغ بك ما أرى؟ فقال: حسن الظن بالله.
