۞
Imam Ali (AS) said, Never get disheartened by a delayed answer to [your] supplication, for indeed that which is granted is commensurate with the intention, and sometimes the answer might be delayed so that it may result in a greater reward for the seeker and a more bountiful grant for the recipient.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لا يُقَنَّطِنَّكَ تَأخِيرُ إجابَةِ الدُّعاءِ فَإنَّ العَطِيَّةَ على قَدْرِ النِّيَّةِ وَ رُبَّما تَأخَّرَتِ الإجابَةُ لِيَكُونَ ذلِكَ أعْظَمَ لأِجْرِ السائِلِ وَأجْزَلَ لِعَطاءِ النَّائِلِ
