۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said that Imam Hassan Mujtaba (a.s) met Abdullah ibn Ja'far and told him: “O' Abdullah! How can one be a believer if he is not content with what God has destined for him; and considers his position to be low even though God has destined it for him. I guarantee that the supplications of those who think only of God's pleasure will be accepted.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
لقي الحسن بن علي (عليه السلام) عبد الله بن جعفر (عليهما السلام)، فقال: يا عبد الله، كيف يكون المؤمن مؤمنا وهو يسخط قسمه ويحقر منزلته والحاكم عليه الله؟ فأنا الضامن لمن لا يهجس في قلبه إلا الرضا أن يدعو الله فيستجاب له.
