Arabic text

68 - وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام: إن الكافر ليدعو [في حاجته] 6 فيقول الله عز وجل: عجلوا حاجته بغضا لصوته. وإن المؤمن ليدعو في حاجته، فيقول الله عز وجل: أخروا حاجته شوقا إلى صوته، فإذا كان يوم القيامة قال الله عز وجل: دعوتني في كذا وكذا فأخرت إجابتك وثوابك كذا وكذا، قال: فيتمنى المؤمن أنه لم يستجب له دعوة في الدنيا فيما يرى من حسن الثواب.

Translation

68. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said: A disbeliever calls out (for his needs) and Allah says, 'Hasten his wish to him,' out of aversion for his voice. And a believer supplicates for his needs and Allah says, 'Delay his wish,' out of a longing for his voice. So, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will say (to the believer), 'You asked Me for such-and-such and I delayed answering you; so, your reward (for the delay) is such-and-such.' A believer will at that time wish any of his supplications had been never answered in the world when he sees how excellent the reward is.
