Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “When a servant of God has a rank near God which he cannot attain just with his own deeds, God will make him ill, or bring a calamity upon his wealth or children in order to help him attain that rank. If he is patient, then God will make him overcome that calamity.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إن العبد ليكون له عند الله عز وجل الدرجة لا يبلغها بعمله، فيبتلى بجسده أو يصاب في ماله أو يصاب في ولده، فإن هو صبر ظفره الله إياها.
