11. It has been narrated that Abu Ja'far (al-Baqir) (a.s) said
“When Allah decides to honor a servant but the servant has committed sins, He afflicts him with an ailment. If not that, He puts him in need; and if not that, He intensifies the severity of his death (in order that his sins may be forgiven). And when He decides to disgrace a person who has done some good, He bestows him with well-being. If not that, He amplifies his livelihood; and if not that, He makes his death easy.”
11 - وعن أبي جعفر (ع) قال
إنّ الله تبارك وتعالى اذا كان من أمره أن يُكرم عبداً وله عنده ذنبٌ ابتلاه بالسقم، فإن لم يفعل ابتلاه بالحاجة، فإن هو لم يفعل شدَّد عليه عند الموت، وإذا كان من أمره أن يُهين عبداً وله عنده حسنةٌ أصحَّ بدنَه، فإن هو لم يفعل وسَّع في معيشتِه، فإن هو لم يفعل هوَّن عليه الموتَ.
