Abi al-Sabah al-Kanani narrated that once when he was with Imam Sadiq (a.s) an old man entered and said
“O' Aba Abdullah! I am old and am complaining about my children and their ingratitude, and my brothers and their cruelty to me.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “O' old man! There is a government for the right and a government for falsehood. Either form of government is humiliated in the other form of government. The least a believer suffers from a government for falsehood is getting hurt by his children, and cruelty from his brothers. No believer can be comfortable under a government of falsehood, and will suffer from physical, material or child-related problems before death, until God frees him from what he has earned during the rule of the government of falsehood, and increases his benefits in the government of the right. Thus persevere, and rejoice.”
عن أبي الصباح الكناني قال
كنت عند أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) فدخل عليه شيخ كبير فقال: يا أبا عبد الله، أشكو إليك ولدي وعقوقهم وإخواني وجفاهم لي عند كبر سني، فقال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): يا هذا، إن للحق دولة وللباطل دولة، واحد منهما ذليل في دولة صاحبه، وإن أدنى ما يصيب المؤمن في دولة الباطل العقوق من ولده والجفاء من إخوانه، وما من مؤمن يصيب شيئا من الرفاهية في دولة الباطل إلا ابتلى قبل موته، إما في بدنه وإما في ولده وماله، حتى يخلصه بما اكتسب في دولة الباطل ويوفر له حظه في دولة الحق، فاصبر واستر.
