Imam Sadiq (a.s) reported the following on the authority of Ameer al-Momineen (a.s): “No one shall experience real faith unless he realizes that he shall suffer from whatever he is to suffer, and he shall be safe from whatever he should be saved from. Indeed it is God who brings forth loss or gain.”
قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام) أيضا: كان أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) يقول: لا يطعم عبد طعم الإيمان حتى يعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليخطئه، وأن ما أخطأه لم يكن ليصيبه، فان الضار النافع هو الله.
