Chapter 1 | The Severity of a Believer’s Afflictions

23 - عن محمد بن عجلان قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: إنّ للهِ (جلّ جلاله) مِن خلقِه عباداً ما مِن بليّةٍ تنـزلُ من السماء أو تقتيرٍ في الرّزق الاّ ساقه إليهِم، ولا عافيَةٍ أو سَعة في الرزق إلاّ صَرفه عنهم، ولَو أنّ نورَ أحدِهم قُسّم بين أهلِ الأرض جميعاً لاكتفَوا به.

23. It has been narrated that Muhammad ibn 'Ajlan said: I heard Abu 'Abd Allah saying: Indeed, Allah has amongst His creatures some (special) servants; whenever an affliction descends from the heavens or a deficiency in sustenance, He drives it towards them. And whenever (there is) well-being or ample sustenance, He diverts it from them. (And) if the light (nur) of one of them were to be divided between all the inhabitants of the earth, it would suffice them.
