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 1737

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

عنه (عليه السلام): قال

رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): والله ما كرم عبد على الله إلا ازدادت عليه البلايا.

hadith 1740

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God's Prophet (a.s) was asked: “Which people suffer the most in this world?” The Prophet (a.s) said: “The Prophets. Then those who are most similar to them. Then the believers will suffer according to the degree of their faith and good deeds. The stronger their faith, and the more their good deeds are, the worst will their sufferings be.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

سئل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من أشد الناس بلاء في الدنيا؟ فقال: النبيون ثم الأمثل فالأمثل، ويبتلي المؤمن بعد على قدر إيمانه وحسن أعماله، فمن صح إيمانه وحسن عمله اشتد بلاؤه، ومن سخف إيمانه وضعف عمله قل بلاؤه.

hadith 1750

In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said

“There are some excellent ranks in Heaven which one cannot attain unless he suffers from a calamity. But whenever you suffer a calamity, recall my calamities which are the worst calamities.”

من كتاب روضة الواعظين: قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الله ليكتب الدرجة العالية في الجنة، فلا يبلغها عبده فلا يزال يتعهد بالبلاء حتى يبلغها، وإذا أصبتم بمصيبة فاذكروا مصيبتي فإنها أعظم المصائب.

hadith 1751

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “The greatest reward is for the worst calamities. When God loves a nation, He will send down a calamity upon them. God will be pleased with whoever is content, and will be displeased with whoever is displeased.”

وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن أعظم الجزاء مع أعظم البلاء، وإن الله إذا أحب قوما ابتلاهم، فمن رضي فله الرضا ومن سخط فله السخط.
