النضر عن ابن سنان عن اليماني * عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قال الله عز وجل: وعزتي وجلالي وعظيمتي وقدرتي وبهائي وعلوي: لا يؤثر عبد هواي على هواه الا جعلت الغنى في نفسه وهمه في آخرته وكففت عنه ضيعته وضمنت السماوات والأرض رزقة وكنت له من وراء تجارة كل تاجر.

Translation

33.Al-Naḍr narrated from Ibn Sinān, from al-Yamānī, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said, “Allah, to Whom belong might and majesty, said, ‘By My might and My majesty, by My greatness and My power, by My grandeur and exaltedness, [I swear that] My servant does not prefer My desire over his own desire but that I place needlessness [and contentment] in his soul, make his [primary] concern for his Hereafter, prevent him from suffering loss, guarantee his sustenance from the skies and the earth, and stand behind him [to ensure his benefit] in the transaction of every trader.”
