8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Zayd al-Zarrad from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘The great misfortunes are matched with great rewards. When Allah loves a servant He tries him with great misfortunes. Whoever accepts it, Allah accepts him and whoever becomes angry with misfortunes, with Allah for him there is anger.”’
8ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الزَّرَّادِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) إِنَّ عَظِيمَ الْبَلاءِ يُكَافَأُ بِهِ عَظِيمُ الْجَزَاءِ فَإِذَا أَحَبَّ الله عَبْداً ابْتَلاهُ بِعَظِيمِ الْبَلاءِ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ عِنْدَ الله الرِّضَا وَمَنْ سَخِطَ الْبَلاءَ فَلَهُ عِنْدَ الله السَّخَطُ.
