hadith 1732

In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said

“Whenever God the Almighty loves someone, He will throw him into trouble and storm him with calamities. When he prays to God for help, God will say: “O' My servants! I hear your prayer and have the power to immediately fulfill your requests if I so wish, but I will save it for you; and what I save for you is better.”

من كتاب المحاسن: عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال

إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا أحب عبدا غته بالبلاء غتا وثجه بالبلاء ثجا، فإذا دعاه قال: لبيك عبدي، لئن عجلت لك ما سألت، إني على ذلك لقادر، ولكن ادخرت لك فما ادخرت لك خير لك.

hadith 1733

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)

“Great calamities have great rewards. When God loves someone, He will make him suffer great calamities. God will be pleased with whoever is content with these calamities. Whoever is displeased, God will be displeased with him.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن عظيم البلاء يكافئ به عظيم الجزاء، فإذا أحب الله عبدا ابتلاه بعظيم البلاء، فمن رضي فله عند الله الرضا، ومن سخط البلاء فله السخط.

hadith 1736

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There is always a great reward for a great calamity. God will send calamities to any nations that He loves.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

إن عظيم الأجر لمع عظيم البلاء، وما أحب الله قوما إلا ابتلاهم.
