Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s) that God the Almighty said
“I have established the world as a loan among My servants. Whoever gives Me a loan, I will return to him whatever I will from ten to seven hundred times. Whoever does not give Me a loan from it, and I take away something from him against his will, I will give him three characteristics, each of which will cause the angels to be content if I give it to the angels.” Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty said: “Who say, when afflicted with calamity: “To God we belong, and to Him is our return. They are those on whom (descend) blessings from God,” [The Holy Quran: Baqara 2:156-157] This is one of these characteristics. “...,And Mercy” [The Holy Quran: Baqara 2:157] is the second one “...,And they are the ones that receive guidance.”[The Holy Quran: Baqara 2:157] is the third. Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “This is for one from whom God takes something against his will.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله تبارك وتعالى: إني جعلت الدنيا بين عبادي قرضا، فمن أقرضني منها قرضا أعطيته بكل واحدة منهن عشرا إلى سبع مائة ضعف وما شئت من ذلك، ومن لم يقرضني منها قرضا وأخذت شيئا منه قسرا أعطيته ثلاث خصال لو أعطيت واحدة منهن ملائكتي لرضوا بها مني. ثم قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): إن الله عز وجل يقول: ﴿الذين إذا أصابتهم مصيبة قالوا إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون﴾ ﴿أولئك عليهم صلوات من ربهم﴾ فهذه واحدة من ثلاث خصال ﴿ورحمة﴾ اثنتان ﴿وأولئك هم المهتدون﴾ ثلاث، قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): هذا لمن أخذ الله شيئا منه قسرا.
