Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Sometimes you ask God for something and God destines it to be fulfilled sooner or later. But if you commit a sin, God the Almighty will tell the angel to deprive you and not fulfill your request because you have raised His anger and deserve to be deprived.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
إن العبد يسأل الله الحاجة فيكون من شأن الله قضاؤها إلى أجل قريب أو وقت بطئ، فيذنب العبد ذنبا فيقول الله للملك: لا تنجز له حاجته وأحرمه إياها، فإنه قد تعرض لسخطي واستوجب الحرمان مني.
