Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“I am amazed at believers, since whatever God determines for them is good, whether it pleases them or upsets them. If God sends a calamity down upon a believer, it is penalty for his sins. If God gives him something and honors him, it is a gift.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): عجبا للمؤمن، إن الله لا يقضي عليه قضاء إلا كان خيرا له، سره ذلك أم ساءه، وإن ابتلاه كان كفارة لذنبه، وإن أعطاه وأكرمه فقد حباه.
