Imam Reza (a.s) was questioned about the orphan's treasure (mentioned in the Holy Quran). He said: “That treasure was a golden plate on which it was written: “In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is God's Prophet.” I am amazed how one who is certain about death can be happy, and one who is certain about divine destiny can be sad. I am amazed how one who sees the world, and sees how the tables turn on people, can be so attached to this world.” It is not proper for one who has recognized God to get upset whenever there is a delay in his daily bread, or to accuse God regarding His decrees.”
عن الرضا (عليه السلام)، سئل عن كنز اليتيم مم
كان؟ فقال: كان لوحا من ذهب، فيه: " بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله، عجبت لمن أيقن بالموت كيف يفرح وعجبت لمن أيقن بالقدر كيف يحزن! وعجبت لمن رأى الدنيا وتقلبها بأهلها كيف يركن إليها! " وينبغي لمن عقل عن الله أن لا يستبطئه في رزقه ولا يتهمه في قضائه.
