Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “A believer is so honored by God that God will even grant him Heaven with everything in it if he asks for it, without anything being reduced from God's Dominion; but God will not grant him even one foot of this world if he asks for it. An infidel is so despised by God that God will even grant him this world with everything in it i f he asks for it without anything being reduced from God's Dominion; but God will not grant him even one foot of Heaven if he asks for it. God will attend to His believing servants through calamities, and instruct them to abstain from this world just as a doctor instructs his patients to abstain from things.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
إن العبد المؤمن ليكرم على الله حتى لو سأله الجنة وما فيها أعطاه ولم ينتقص من ملكه شئ، ولو سأله موضع قدمه من الدنيا ليحرمه، وإن العبد الكافر ليهون على الله حتى لو سأله الدنيا وما فيها لأعطاه، ولو سأله موضع قدمه من الجنة ليحرمه، وإن الله ليتعاهد المؤمن كما يتعاهد الرجل أهله بالهدية من الغيبة، ويحميه الدنيا كما يحمي الطبيب المريض.
