Imam Sadiq (a.s) said that God's Prophet (a.s) quoted God the Almighty as saying
“I swear by My Honor, Majesty, Beauty, Greatness, Grandeur, Exaltation, and Highness of Position. I swear that none of My servants choose My desires over their own desires, without Me establishing independence in their hearts and directing their efforts to the Hereafter; preventing him from wandering around; ordering the Heavens and the Earth to provide his sustenance; and pursuing his business and protecting his interests.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الله عز وجل يقول: وعزتي وجلالي وجمالي وبهائي وعلوي وارتفاع مكاني! لا يؤثر عبد هواي على هواه إلا جعلت غناه في قلبه وهمه في آخرته، وكففت عليه ضيعته، وضمنت السماوات والأرض رزقه، وكنت له من وراء تجارة كل تاجر.
