Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of Imam Ali (a.s)
“Be more hopeful for that for which you have no hope, compared to what you have some hope for. Moses the son of Imran left his town to ask for fire for his people, but God spoke to him and he returned as a Prophet. The Queen of Saba left the town as an infidel, but she became a Muslim when she met Solomon. Pharaoh's magicians also were seeking honor for Pharaoh but they returned as believers.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال علي (عليه السلام): كن لما لا ترجو أرجى منك لما ترجو، فإن موسى بن عمران - صلى الله عليه - خرج يقتبس لأهله نارا فكلمه الله ورجع نبيا، وخرجت ملكة سبأ كافرة فأسلمت مع سليمان، وخرج سحرة فرعون يطلبون العز لفرعون فرجعوا مؤمنين.
