Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “If God the Almighty wants to honor someone but he has committed some sins, He will make him ill, or needy, or make his death a hard one so as to compensate for his sins. And if He wants to humiliate one who has done some good deeds, He will make him healthy, or increase his income or make his death an easy one so that he gets the reward of his good deeds.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا كان من أمره أن يكرم عبدا وله ذنب ابتلاه بالسقم، فإن لم يفعل ذلك به ابتلاه بالحاجة، فإن لم يفعل ذلك به شدد عليه الموت ليكافيه بذلك الذنب، قال: وإذا كان من أمره أن يهين عبدا وله عنده حسنة صحح بدنه، فإن لم يفعل ذلك به وسع له في رزقه، فإن هو لم يفعل ذلك به هون عليه الموت ليكافئه بتلك الحسنة.
