Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · The Severity of a Believer’s Afflictions
21 - عن حمران عن أبي جعفر (ع) إنَّ العبدَ المؤمنَ ليكرم على الله (جلّ جلاله) حتى لو سألَه الجنَّةَ وما فيها أعطاها إياهُ ولم يُنقِص ذلك من مُلكه شيئاً، ولَو سأله موضِع قدمِه من الدّنيا حرَمهُ، وإنّ العبدَ الكافرَ ليَهونُ على الله (جلّ جلاله) لو سألَه الدّنيا وما فيها أعطاها إيّاه ولم يُنقِص ذلك من ملكه شيئاً، ولو سألَه موضعَ قدمِه من الجنَّةِ حرمَه. وإنّ الله (جلّ جلاله) ليتعاهدُ عبدَه المؤمنَ بالبلاءِ كما يتعاهَدُ الرّجُلُ أهلَه بالهديّة ويحميه كما يحمي الطّبيبُ المريضَ
21. Humran narrated that Abu Ja'far (a.s) said: A believer is so honorable before Allah that if he were to ask Him for Paradise and all it contains, He would give it to him -and this would not decrease anything in His Kingdom- but if he were to ask Him of this world, even the space that his feet occupy, He may deny him. And a disbeliever is so contemptuous before Allah that if he were to ask Him for the world and all it contains, He would give it to him -and this would make no difference in His Kingdom- but if he were to ask Him of Paradise, even the space that his feet occupy, He would deny him. Indeed, Allah presents a believer with afflictions just like a man presents his family with gifts and He protects him (from what is harmful for him) like a doctor protects the sick.”
