Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty sent a Prophet to a nation and asked him to fight with them. The Prophet complained to God about being weak. God the Almighty said: “Either choose to fight, or go to hell with them.” That Prophet (a.s) said: “O' my Lord! I cannot withstand the Fire.” Then God revealed to him that he would become victorious during that same year. Then that Prophet told his followers that God had ordered them to go to war, and he has said they are weak. But God has said either to fight or go to Hell. He told his followers to choose between fighting and going to Hell. They said that they could not withstand the Fire. Then he told them that God had revealed to him that they would be victorious during that same year. They said they would do whatever he ordered them to do.” Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God appointed another Prophet and ordered him to go fight a nation. He complained of his weakness, and God the Almighty revealed to him that they would be victorious after fifteen years. When he told his followers about this, they said: “There is no strength nor power but in, or by means of, God the High, the Great.” He then told them that God has revealed to him that they will be victorious after fifteen years. They said: “Whatever God decides. There is no strength nor power but in, or by means of, God the High, the Great.” Since they entrusted their affairs to God, God made them victorious that same year.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
بعث الله نبيا إلى قوم وأمره أن يقاتلهم، فشكى إلى الله الضعف، فقال: اختر القتال أو النار، قال: يا رب لا طاقة لي بالنار، فأوحى الله إليه أن النصر يأتيك في سنتك هذه، فقال ذلك النبي لأصحابه: إن الله عز وجل قد أمرني بقتال بني فلان فقلت: لا طاقة لنا بقتالهم، فقال: اختر القتال أو النار، قالوا: لا طاقة لنا بالنار، فقال: إن الله قد أوحى أن النصر يأتيني في سنتي هذه، قالوا: تفعل ونفعل وتكون ونكون، قال: وبعث الله نبيا آخر إلى قوم وأمره أن يقاتلهم، فشكى إلى الله الضعف، فأوحى الله عز وجل أن النصر يأتيك بعد خمسة عشر سنة، فقال لأصحابه: إن الله عز وجل أمرني بقتال بني فلان فشكوت إليه الضعف، فقالوا: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، فقال لهم: إن الله قد أوحى إلي أن النصر يأتيني بعد خمسة عشر سنة، فقالوا: ما شاء الله لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، قال: فأتاهم الله بالنصر في سنتهم، تلك لتفويضهم إلى الله وقولهم ما شاء الله، لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله.
