Imam Baqir (a.s) said that God's Prophet (a.s) said that God the Almighty said: “Some of My believing servants are such that their religious affairs will improve if they are healthy and wealthy. Therefore, I test them by making them healthy and wealthy. But some other believing servants are such that their religious affairs will not improve unless they are poor and physically ill, so I test them by using illness and poverty. I am more aware of what improves the religious affairs of My believing servants.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله عز وجل: إن من عبادي المؤمنين عبادا لا يصلح لهم أمر دينهم إلا بالغنى والسعة والصحة في البدن فأبلوهم بالغنى والسعة وصحة البدن، فيصلح عليهم أمر دينهم، وإن من عبادي المؤمنين لعبادا لا يصلح أمر دينهم إلا بالفاقة والمسكنة والسقم في أبدانهم فأبلوهم بالفاقة والمسكنة والسقم، فيصلح عليهم أمر دينهم، وأنا أعلم بما يصلح عليه أمر دين عبادي المؤمنين.
