Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The believer continues to remain in goodness, comfort, and mercy from Allah as long as he does not seek a hasty response, then despair and abandon supplication as a consequence.

ـ الكافي عن أبي بصير عن الإمام الصّادق (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا يَزالُ المُؤمِنُ بِخَيرٍ ورَجاءٍ رَحمَةً مِنَ اللّهِ ما لَم يَستَعجِلْ فَيَقنَطُ وَيَترُكُ الدُّعاءَ .
قُلتُ لَهُ: كَيفَ يَستَعجِلُ؟ قالَ: يَقولُ: قَد دَعَوتُ مُنذُ كَذا وكَذا وما أرَى الإجابَةَ!
