Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God will not destine anything for a believer unless it is good for him. It would be good for him even if he is torn into pieces, or becomes the owner of everything from the East to the West.”
قال (عليه السلام): المسلم لا يقضي الله له قضاء إلا كان خيرا له، وإن قطع قطعا كان خيرا له وإن ملك مشارق الأرض ومغاربها كان خيرا له.
