Sae'dan ibn Yazeed said: “I told Imam Sadiq (a.s) that I saw some one having hard times in life while I had a good life. Whatever I reach out for, I find in it what I like. Sometimes I see other people who are superior to me but they do not have these blessings. I am afraid this might be a sort of divine test for me”. The Imam (a.s) said: “Have no fear as long as you give thanks for these blessings.”
عن سعدان بن يزيد قال
قلت لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): إني أرى من هو شديد الحال مضيقا عليه العيش، وأرى نفسي في سعة من هذه الدنيا، لا أمد يدي إلى شئ إلا رأيت فيه ما أحب، وقد أرى من هو أفضل مني قد صرف ذلك عنه، فقد خشيت أن يكون لي استدراجا من الله لي بخطيئتي، فقال (عليه السلام): أما مع الحمد فلا والله.
