Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Moses, the son of Imran (a.s) said: O' Lord! I am content with Your decree. You make the elders die, and keep the children.” God said: “O' Moses! Are you not pleased with the way I give them daily bread, and guard them?” Moses said: “O' Lord! What a good guardian and what a good advocate you are.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
إن موسى بن عمران - صلوات الله عليه - قال: يا رب رضيت بما قضيت، تميت الكبير وتبقي الطفل الصغير، فقال الله: يا موسى، أما ترضاني لهم رازقا وكفيلا، قال: بلى يا رب، فنعم الكفيل أنت ونعم الوكيل.
