Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, ‘You will not be believers until you consider the ordeal as a bounty and ease as an affliction, for patience during an ordeal is greater than oblivion during ease.
الإمامُ الكاظمُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لَن تَكونوا مؤمنينَ حتّى تَعُدّوا البلاءَ نِعمَةً والرَّخاءَ مُصيبَةً، وذلكَ أنَّ الصَّبرَ عِند البلاءِ أعظَمُ مِن الغَفلةِ عندَ الرَّخاءِ.
