Chapter 1 | The Severity of a Believer’s Afflictions
2 - وعن الصادق عليه السلام: إن المسلم لا يقضي الله عز وجل قضاء إلا كان خيرا له، وإن ملك مشارق الأرض ومغاربها كان خيرا له ثم تلا هذه الآية: " فوقاه الله سيئات ما مكروا " ، ثم قال: أما والله لقد تسلطوا عليه وقتلوه، فأما ما وقاه الله فوقاه الله أن يعتو في دينه
2. It has been narrated that Al-Sadiq said “For a muslim, whatever Allah ﷻ has decreed is good, and if he comes to possess all that is in the East and West,it will be good for him.” Then, he recited this verse “So, Allah protected him from the evil of their plot” [40:45]. Then he (al-Sadiq) said “By Allah, they overpowered him (i.e. the one intended in the previous Holy Verse) and killed him but what Allah protected him from was being overcome in his faith.”
