Marazem narrated that once Imam Sadiq (a.s) had ordered a letter to be written. When the written letter was presented to Imam Sadiq (a.s) he saw that there were no instances of ‘God willing’ used in that letter. He said
“How do you expect this work to be done without writing 'God willing' in it? Rewrite it and insert 'God willing' wherever needed.”
