Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s) that God the Almighty said
“I will make ill whomever I wish to send to Heaven. If it is enough penalty for his sins, it is fine. But if not, I will make life difficult for him. If it is enough of penalty for his sins, it is fine. But if it is not, I will make his death hard for him so that he comes to Me free of sin, and I let him enter Heaven. I will make perfectly healthy whomever I wish to send to Hell. If what he asks Me is completely fulfilled this way, then it is fine. But if it is not, I will free him from the fear of the oppressors. If what he asks Me is completely fulfilled this way, it is fine. But if it is not, I will make his death an easy one so that when he comes to meet Me, none of his good deeds have remained un-rewarded. Then I will send him to Hell.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله عز وجل: ما من عبد أريد أن ادخله الجنة إلا ابتليته في جسده، فإن كان ذلك كفارة لذنوبه وإلا ضيقت عليه في رزقه، فإن كان ذلك كفارة لذنوبه وإلا شددت عليه الموت حتى يأتيني ولا ذنب له ثم ادخله الجنة، وما من عبد أريد أن ادخله النار إلا صححت جسمه، فإن كان ذلك تماما لطلبته عندي وإلا أمنت له من سلطانه، فإن كان ذلك تماما لطلبته وإلا هونت عليه الموت حتى يأتيني ولا حسنة له ثم ادخله النار.
