Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, ‘A believer is like the two sides of a balance: the more faith he has the more ordeal he sustains, so that he meets Allah, the Exalted, without any sins.
الإمامُ الكاظمُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مثَلُ المؤمنِ مثَلُ كِفَّتَيِ المِيزانِ: كلّما زِيدَ في إيمانِهِ زِيدَ في بلائِهِ، لِيَلْقى اللّهَ عزّ وجلّ ولا خَطيئةَ لَه .
