Abi al-Hassan al-Ahmasy narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted upon the authority of his grandfather who quoted God's Prophet (a.s): “God the Almighty shall send various calamities for His believing servants in the same manner that the
members of a family invite their father to eat.” He added: “ God the Almighty has said: I swear by My Majesty, Honor, Grandeur and Position that I will take away from My believing servant whatever would cause him to forget Me so that I can hear him call Me and pray. But I will fulfill the needs of an infidel so that I never hear him call Me, since I am angry with him.”
عن أبي الحسن الأحمسي عن أبي عبد الله عن آبائه (عليهم السلام) قالوا
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الله تبارك وتعالى ليتعاهد عبده المؤمن بأنواع البلاء كما يتعاهد أهل البيت سيدهم بطرف الطعام، قال: يقول الله عز وجل: وعزتي وجلالي وعظمتي وبهائي إني لأحمي وليي أن اعطيه في دار الدنيا شيئا يشغله عن ذكري حتى يدعوني فأسمع دعاه وصوته، وإني لأعطي الكافر أمنيته حتى لا يدعوني فأسمع صوته بغضا مني له.
