Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God has especial servants on the Earth. God will not send down any gifts to this world unless He deprives them of these gifts, and will not descend any calamities unless they suffer from these calamities. They are the followers of (Imam) Ali (a.s).”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إن لله عبادا في الأرض من خالص عباده، ليس ينزل من السماء تحفة إلى الدنيا إلا صرفها عنهم، ولا ينزل بلاء إلا صرفه إليهم وهم شيعة علي (عليه السلام).
