Imam al-Kazim (AS) was once asked by Ibn Abi ‘Umayr about the Prophet (SAWA)s saying, ‘The prosperous one is he who prospered from when he was in his mothers womb, and the wretched one is he who was wretched from when he was in his mothers womb, to which he replied, ‘The wretched one is he who, from when he was in his mothers womb, Allah knew would commit acts characteristic of wretched people, and the prosperous one is he who, from when he was in his mothers womb, Allah knew would perform acts characteristic of prosperous people.
عن محمّدَ بنِ أبي عُمَيرٍ
سَألتُ أبا الحسنِ موسى بنِ جَعفرٍ عَن معنى قولِ رَسول اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): «الشَّقِيُّ مَن شَقِيَ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ ، والسَّعيدُ مَن سَعِدَ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ» ، فقالَ: الشَّقِيُّ مَن عَلِمَ اللّهُ وهُو في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ أنّهُ سَيَعمَلُ أعمالَ الأشقِياءِ ، والسَّعيدُ مَن عَلِمَ اللّهُ وهُو في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ أنّهُ سَيَعمَلُ أعمالَ السُّعَداءِ.
