Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “You will not be true believers unless you are trustworthy and consider sufferings to be blessings, and consider welfare to be a tragedy, since perseverance in the face of hardships is better than negligence at times of comfort.”
عن الكاظم (عليه السلام) قال
لن تكونوا مؤمنين حتى تكونوا مؤتمنين، وحتى تعدوا البلاء نعمة والرخاء مصيبة، وذلك أن الصبر عند البلاء أفضل من الغفلة عند الرخاء.
