Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Allah, Exalted be His praise, apologizes to His believing servant who is needy in this world the same way that a brother would apologize to his fellow brother, saying, ‘By my Honour and Majesty, I did not make you needy in this world because you were low in My view, so raise this veil and look at what I have compensated you with for this world. He (AS) then said, ‘And he will then raise his head and exclaim, ‘That which You deprived me of does not harm me when offset against that which you have compensated me with.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ اللّهَ جلَّ ثناؤهُ لَيَعتَذِرُ إلى عَبدِهِ المؤمنِ المُحْوِجِ في الدنيا كما يَعتَذِرُ الأخُ إلى أخيهِ، فيَقولُ: وعِزَّتي وجَلالي، ما أحوَجتُكَ في الدنيا مِن هَوانٍ كانَ بِكَ عَلَيَّ، فارفَعْ هذا السَّجْفَ فانظُرْ إلى ما عَوَّضتُكَ مِن الدنيا. قالَ: فَيَرفَعُ فيَقولُ: ما ضَرَّني ما مَنَعتَني مع ما عَوَّضتَني؟!
