Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God sent down an angel to Earth. He stayed on the Earth for a long time and then returned to the heavens. He was asked: “What did you see there?” He said: “I saw many amazing things there, but the most amazing thing that I saw was someone who abused your blessings. He ate of what You provided for his sustenance, but claimed to be god. I was amazed at his boldness and Your Patience.” God the Almighty said: “You were amazed at My Patience? I let him live for four hundred years, and he never got ill. I granted to him whatever he wanted in the world, and I never changed his food and drinks.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله أهبط ملكا إلى الأرض فلبث فيها دهرا طويلا، ثم عرج إلى السماء فقيل له: ما رأيت؟ قال: رأيت عجائب كثيرة، ومن أعجب ما رأيت إني رأيت متقلبا في نعمك يأكل رزقك ويدعي الربوبية لنفسه فعجبت من جرأته عليك ومن حلمك منه! فقال الله: أفمن حلمي عجبت؟ فإني قد أملكته أربعمائة عام لا يضرب عليه عرق ولا يريد من الدنيا شيئا إلا أتاه ولا يتغير عليه مطعم ولا مشرب.
