hadith 1759

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “How does a believer claim to believe when he is not pleased with his destiny, and belittles himself while his destiny is in the hands of God? I guarantee that the supplications of whoever only thinks about pleasing God will be favorably accepted.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

كيف يكون المؤمن مؤمنا وهو يسخط قسمه ويحتقر منزلته والحاكم عليه الله؟! فأنا ضامن لمن لم يهجس في قلبه إلا الرضا، إن دعا الله فيستجاب له.

hadith 1760

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Inspect your hearts. If you see that God has purified them of fear and anxiety about your deeds, then ask God for whatever you want.”

عنه (عليه السلام): قال

تحروا قلوبكم فإن أنقاها الله من حركة الواحش لسخط شئ من صنعه فسلوه ما شئتم.

hadith 1761

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God will not destine anything for a believer unless it is good for him. It would be good for him even if he is torn into pieces, or becomes the owner of everything from the East to the West.”

قال (عليه السلام): المسلم لا يقضي الله له قضاء إلا كان خيرا له، وإن قطع قطعا كان خيرا له وإن ملك مشارق الأرض ومغاربها كان خيرا له.
