Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“Great calamities have great rewards. When God loves someone, He will make him suffer great calamities. God will be pleased with whoever is content with these calamities. Whoever is displeased, God will be displeased with him.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن عظيم البلاء يكافئ به عظيم الجزاء، فإذا أحب الله عبدا ابتلاه بعظيم البلاء، فمن رضي فله عند الله الرضا، ومن سخط البلاء فله السخط.
