Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · The Severity of a Believer’s Afflictions
44 - عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال إنّ اللهَ إذا أحبَّ عبداً بعثَ إليه ملَكاً فيقول: أسقِمْه وشدِّد البَلاء عَليه فإذا برَأ مِن شَئ فابْتَلِه لما هو أشَدُّ منه، وقَوِّ علَيه حتىّ يذكُرَني، فإني أشتهي أن أسمَع دُعاءَه. وإذا أبغَضَ عبداً وكَّلَ به ملَكاً قال: صَحِّحه وأعطِه كي لا يذكرَني، فإني لا أشتهي أن أسمع صوتَه.
44. It is narrated that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said: Verily, when Allah loves a person, He sends him an angel saying, 'Strike him with disease and intensify afflictions on him; and every time he is relieved of one trial, afflict with another that is more severe, and be hard on him - until he starts remembering Me, for I long to hear his supplications and his voice calling out to Me' And when He despises a person, He appoints him an angel and says, 'Keep him healthy and provide for him that he may not remember Me; for I do not wish to hear his voice.'
