Am'mar ibn Marvan quoted on the authority of Imam Kazim (a.s)
“You are not believers unless you are trusted by the people, count calamities as blessings, and consider easy life as a calamity, since perseverance in the face of a calamity is better than well-being while having an easy life.”
عن عمار بن مروان عن أبي الحسن موسى (عليه السلام) قال
سمعته يقول: لن تكونوا مؤمنين حتى تكونوا مؤتمنين، وحتى تعدوا البلاء نعمة، والرخاء مصيبة، وذلك أن الصبر على البلاء أفضل من العافية عند الرخاء.
