Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Verily a servant asks Allah his need and it is Allahs way that He either grants it very soon or after some time. The servant sins and Allah, Blessed and most High, says to the angels, ‘Do not grant him, and deprive him of it for verily he has exposed himself to My displeasure and has made himself deserving of My deprivation.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ العبدَ يسألُ اللّهَ الحاجةَ فيكونُ من شَأنِهِ قضاؤها إلى أجلٍ قريبٍ أو إلى وقتٍ بَطيءٍ ، فيُذنِبُ العبدُ ذنباً فيقولُ اللّهُ تَبارَكَ وَتَعالى للمَلَكِ: لا تَقضِ حاجَتَهُ واحرِمْهُ إيَّاها ، فإنَّهُ تَعَرَّضَ لِسَخَطي واستَوجَبَ الحِرمانَ مِنّي.
