Abdullah ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“One of the signs of the perfection of certitude of a Muslim is that he does not please the people through raising God's anger.” In another tradition it is stated that he said: “Before death his daily bread will seek him just as his death does.” He then added: “God the Almighty has established comfort and happiness in certitude and contentment due to His justice and has established sorrow and sadness in doubt and anger. Therefore be content with divine destiny and submit to God's orders.”
عن عبد الله بن سنان قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): من صحة يقين المرء المسلم أن لا يرضي الناس بسخط الله. ثم ساق الحديث نحوا من حديث ميمون، إلا أنه قال: لأدركه رزقه قبل موته كما يدركه الموت، ثم قال: إن الله بعدله وقسطه وعلمه جعل الروح والفرج في اليقين والرضى عن الله عز وجل، وجعل الهم والحزن في الشك والسخط، فارضوا عن الله وسلموا لأمره.
