hadith

۞
Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “God will grant this world to His friends and His enemies, but will only give the Hereafter to His friends. God will not grant to His believing servants even enough room for one whip from this world if they ask for it, and grant him whatever he wants from the Hereafter. God will grant to the infidels from this world before they ask for it, but will not grant them even enough room for a whip from Heaven if they ask for it.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله يعطي الدنيا من يحبه ومن يبغضه، ولا يعطي الآخرة إلا من أحبه، وإن العبد المؤمن يسأل ربه موضع سوط من الدنيا لا يعطيه إياه ويسأله الآخرة فيعطيه ما شاء، ويعطي الكافر في الدنيا قبل أن يسأله، ولو سأله موضع سوط في الآخرة فلا يعطيه إياه.
