Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Complaining about a calamity implies saying that you suffer from a calamity no one has ever suffered before. If you say I stayed up last night and got a fever today or the like, it does not constitute complaining about a calamity.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
الشكوى أن يقول: لقد ابتليت بما لم يبتل به أحد، ويقول: لقد أصابني ما لم يصب أحدا، وليس الشكوى أن يقول: سهرت البارحة وحممت اليوم ونحو هذا.
