Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “One day Moses (a.s) was walking along the shore. A fisherman came suddenly and prostrated to the sun and said some polytheistic things and words. Then he cast his net in the sea and pulled it out filled with fish, and did the same thing again twice and got a lot of fish like the first time. Next someone else came. He made ablution and stood to pray. He praised the Lord and cast his net into the sea, but got no fish when he pulled it out. He did it again and again, but only caught a small fish the third time. He thanked God and left. Then Moses said: “O' Lord! The atheist servant came, and cast his net three times and pulled it out full of fish. Then Your believing servant made ablution and said his prayers and praised you and cast his net three times but only managed to catch one fish. Then he praised you and left!” God told Moses: “Look to the right.” Moses looked to the right. The curtain to the Unseen was pushed aside and he saw the position that God had prepared for the believer. Then God said: “O' Moses! Look to the left.” He turned around and looked to the left. The curtain to the Unseen was pushed aside and he saw the position that God had prepared for the atheist. Then God said: “O' Moses! What I did for the believer did not harm him, and what I did for the atheist one did not benefit him.” Then Moses said: “O' Lord! It is right that whoever recognizes You is content with Your deeds.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
بينا موسى - صلوات الله عليه - يمشي على ساحل البحر، إذ جاء صياد فخر للشمس ساجدا وتكلم بالشرك، ثم ألقى شبكته فأخرجها مملوة، ثم عاد فأخرج مثل ذلك حتى اكتفى، ثم مضى فجاء آخر فتوضأ، ثم قام فصلى وحمد الله وأثنى عليه، ثم ألقى شبكته فلم يخرج له شئ، ثم أعاد فخرجت إليه سمكة صغيرة فحمد الله وانصرف. فقال موسى: يا رب، جاء عبدك الكافر فألقى شبكته ثلاثا فخرجت له مملوة، ثم جاء عبدك المؤمن فتوضأ فاسبغ الوضوء ثم صلى وحمدك ودعاك ثم ألقى شبكته ثلاثا فخرجت له سمكة صغيرة فحمدك وانصرف! فأوحى الله إليه يا موسى انظر عن يمينك، فنظر موسى فكشف له الغطاء عما أعد الله لعبده المؤمن، ثم قيل: يا موسى، انظر عن يسارك، فنظر فكشف له الغطاء عما أعد الله لعبده الكافر، ثم قال: يا موسى، ما ضر هذا ما صنعت به، وما نفع هذا ما أعطيته، فقال موسى: يا رب حق لمن عرفك أن يرضى بما صنعت.
