Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty will apologize to his needy servants in this world just as a brother apologizes to his brother, and says: “I swear by My Honor that I did not make you poor to humiliate you. Now push the curtain aside and see what I have given you instead. When the curtain is pushed aside and he sees what God Has rewarded him with instead of this world, he says: “O' God! There was no harm for me due to what You took away from me (in the world) considering what you have given me instead (now in the Hereafter).”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله عز وجل ليعتذر إلى عبده المحتاج في الدنيا كما يعتذر الأخ إلى أخيه فيقول: لا، وعزتي ما أفقرتك لهوان بك علي، فارفع هذا الغطاء وانظر ما عوضتك من الدنيا، فيكشف له فينظر إلى ما عوضه الله من الدنيا، فيقول: يا رب ما ضرني ما منعتني مع ما عوضتني.
