۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “How does a believer claim to believe when he is not pleased with his destiny, and belittles himself while his destiny is in the hands of God? I guarantee that the supplications of whoever only thinks about pleasing God will be favorably accepted.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
كيف يكون المؤمن مؤمنا وهو يسخط قسمه ويحتقر منزلته والحاكم عليه الله؟! فأنا ضامن لمن لم يهجس في قلبه إلا الرضا، إن دعا الله فيستجاب له.
