Abdullah ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“Among the signs of certitude we can mention not to please the people by raising God's anger; not to praise the people for the daily bread which God has granted to us; and not to blame the people for what God Has not granted to us. No greedy person’s avarice can attract him more daily bread than his own share. And no one’s displeasure can block anyone else’s share of the daily bread. If anyone of you tries to escape from his daily bread as you do from your death, the daily bread will find him, just as death will.” He then added: “God Has made comfort and convenience subject to and conditional upon certitude, contentment and pleasure (with His divinely determined destiny), and has established sadness and sorrow in doubt and anger due to His Justice and Equity.”
عن عبد الله بن سنان قال
قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): إن من اليقين أن لا ترضوا الناس بسخط الله، ولا تحمدوهم على رزق الله، ولا تذموهم على ما لم يؤتكم الله، فإن الرزق لا يسوقه حرص حريص، ولا ترده كراهة كاره، ولو أن أحدكم فر من رزقه كما يفر من الموت، لأدركه كما يدركه الموت. ثم قال: إن الله لعدله وقسطه جعل الروح والفرج في اليقين والرضا، وجعل الهم والحزن في الشك والسخط.
