۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “I am amazed at believers, since God will only destine what is good for them. If God makes a believer rich, it is good for him. If God sends a calamity down upon him, it is good for him. If God makes him the owner of whatever lies between the East and the West, it is good for him. Even if he is torn into pieces, it is good for him. There is good in any of God's decrees for a believer.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
عجبت للمؤمن إن الله لا يقضي له بقضاء إلا كان خيرا له، إن أغناه كان خيرا له وإن ابتلاه كان خيرا له، وإن ملكه ما بين المشرق والمغرب كان خيرا له، وإن قرض بالمقارض كان خيرا له، وفي قضاء الله للمؤمن كل خير.
