Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty granted some blessings to a nation. That nation did not thank God for these blessings. The blessings turned into trouble for them. God brought some calamities upon another nation. They were patient, therefore those calamities were converted into blessings for them.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله عز وجل أنعم على قوم فلم يشكروا فصارت عليهم وبالا، وابتلى قوما بالمصائب فصبروا فصارت عليهم نعمة.
