Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God has placed believers as a target for His enemies: “Then God saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him).” [The Holy Quran: Mu-min 40:45] Know that by God the enemies surrounded him and killed him, but God protected His religion from any attacks.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله جعل المؤمن في الدنيا غرضا لعدوه في قوله عز وجل: ﴿فوقاه الله سيئات ما مكروا﴾ فقال: أما والله لقد بسطوا عليه فقتلوه، ولكن وقاه أن يفتنوه في دينه.
