Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Any believer is reminded (of God) once every forty days by either a tragic event of a financial or physical nature for himself or his children, or a sort of sadness which he does not understand the reason for. Then he will be rewarded.”
عنه (عليه السلام)
ما من مؤمن إلا وهو يذكر في كل أربعين يوما ببلاء يصيبه، إما في ماله أو في ولده أو في نفسه فيؤجر عليه، أو هم لا يدري من أين هو.
