Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Allah, the Exalted, brings trial to the believer like a man brings his family a gift upon his return from a trip; and He denies him this world like a doctor puts a patient on diet.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ اللّهَ عزّ وجلّ لَيَتعاهَدُ المؤمنَ بالبلاءِ كما يَتعاهَدُ الرَّجُلُ أهلَهُ بالهَدِيّةِ مِن الغَيبةِ، ويَحْميهِ الدُّنيا كما يَحْمي الطّبيبُ المريضَ.
