Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty has left a believer's affairs up to himself, but has not abandoned him to be humiliated. Have you not heard God's words: “But honor belongs to God and His Apostle, and to the Believers.” [The Holy Quran: Munafiqun 63:8]; Therefore believers are honored, not abased.” He then added: “Believers are even nobler than the mountains since we can knock down the mountains and destroy them, but nothing can diminish a believer's faith.”
وعنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله فوض إلى المؤمن أمره كله ولم يفوض إليه أن يكون ذليلا، أما تسمع الله يقول عز وجل: ﴿ولله العزة ولرسوله وللمؤمنين﴾ فالمؤمن يكون عزيزا ولا يكون ذليلا، ثم قال: إن المؤمن أعز من الجبل، إن الجبل يستقل منه بالمعاول، والمؤمن لا يستقل من دينه بشئ.
