Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty always sends calamities upon a believer. He cannot sleep one night and wake up the next morning without any problems. Either he gets ill or he has a family or financial problem or suffers from a natural disaster. All these are so that God can give him a reward instead.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله تبارك وتعالى ليتعاهد المؤمن بالبلاء ما يمن عليه أن يقوم ليلة إلا تعاهده بمرض في جسده أو بمصيبة في أهل أو مال أو مصيبة من مصائب الدنيا ليأجره عليها.
