Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Whenever God wishes to honor one who has committed sins, He will make him ill, or needy, or make him suffer from a difficult death to compensate for his sins. Whenever God wishes to humiliate someone who has done some good deeds, He will make him perfectly healthy, or improve his living conditions, or make his death an easy one for him to compensate for his good deeds (in this world before he goes to meet his Lord).”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
إذا كان من أمر الله أن يكرم عبدا أو له ذنب عنده ابتلاه بالسقم، فإن لم يفعل ذلك به ابتلاه بالحاجة، فإن لم يفعل ذلك به شدد عليه عند الموت ليكافئه بذلك الذنب، وإذا كان من أمره أن يهين عبدا وله عنده حسنة صحح بدنه، فإن لم يفعل ذلك به وسع عليه في معيشته، فإن لم يفعل ذلك هون عليه موته حتى يكافئه بتلك الحسنة.
