Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Two angels who were descending from the heavens to the Earth met each other. One asked the other about his mission. He said: “God gave me the mission to go to sea to force a fish to go to one of the oppressors so he, who had wished to catch it, would be able to do so. So I must go and force that fish in the sea towards him so that the oppressor can catch it, and achieve his last goal.” The other angel said: “My divine mission is even stranger than yours. God gave me the mission to go to a believer who is fasting and stays up at night to worship God, and is such a good worshipper that he is famous in the heavens. I am supposed to turn over the pan of food that he has just prepared for breaking his fast since God wants to test his faith this way.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
إن ملكين هبطا من السماء فالتقيا في الهواء، فقال أحدهما لصاحبه: فيم هبطت؟ قال: بعثني الله إلى بحر إيلة أحش سمكة إلى جبار من الجبابرة تشهى عليه سمكة في ذلك البحر، فأمرني [أن] أحش إلى الصياد سمك ذلك البحر حتى يأخذها له ليبلغ الله بالكافر غاية مناه في كفره، وقال الآخر: ففيم بعثت أنت؟ فقال: بعثني الله في أعجب من الذي بعثك فيه، بعثني إلى عبده المؤمن الصائم القائم المجتهد المعروف دعاؤه وصلاته في السماء، لأكفي قدره التي طبخها لإفطاره ليبلغ الله بالمؤمن الغاية في اختبار إيمانه.
