In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said
“Whenever God the Almighty loves someone, He will throw him into trouble and storm him with calamities. When he prays to God for help, God will say: “O' My servants! I hear your prayer and have the power to immediately fulfill your requests if I so wish, but I will save it for you; and what I save for you is better.”
من كتاب المحاسن: عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا أحب عبدا غته بالبلاء غتا وثجه بالبلاء ثجا، فإذا دعاه قال: لبيك عبدي، لئن عجلت لك ما سألت، إني على ذلك لقادر، ولكن ادخرت لك فما ادخرت لك خير لك.
