Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘How many a favor Allah grants His servant without his having expected them, and how many a hopeful one entertains high hopes when [Allahs] choice favours others.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : كَمْ مِنْ نِعمةٍ للّهِ على عبدِهِ في غَيْرِ أملِهِ ، وكَمْ مِنْ مُؤَمِّلٍ أملاً الخِيارُ في غَيرِهِ .
