God's Prophet (a.s) said: “When God the Almighty sees that the people of a village have excessively committed sins, but there are three believers in the village, He will call the people who commit sins and tell them that He would have sent down His true punishment without any hesitation if there were no believers who loved God's Grandeur, who prayed, and constructed mosques and asked for God's forgiveness at dawn due to their fear of God.”
وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا رأى أهل قرية قد أسرفوا في المعاصي وفيها ثلاث نفر من المؤمنين ناداهم جل جلاله وتقدست أسماؤه: يا أهل معصيتي، لولا من فيكم من المؤمنين المتحابين لجلالي، العامرين بصلاتهم أرضي ومساجدي، والمستغفرين بالأسحار خوفا مني لأنزلت بكم عذابي ثم لا أبالي.
