The Book of the Believer · Hadith 47 (#Ḥadīth #47)

47 - وعن أبي جعفر (ع) قال إنّ الله (جلّ جلاله) يعطي الدنيا من يحبّ ويُبغض، ولا يعطي الآخرة الاّ من أحبَّ، وإنّ المؤمن ليسأل الربّ موضع سوطٍ في الدنيا فلا يعطيه إيّاه ويسألهُ الآخرةَ فيُعطيه ما شاء، ويُعطي الكافرَ في الدنيا ما شاء ويسأل في الآخرة موضع سوط فلا يُعطيه إيّاه.

47. It has been reported that Abu Ja'far said: Allah gives this world to the one He loves as well as the one He despises. But He gives the hereafter only to the one He loves. And if a believer were to ask the Lord for a foot of land in this world, He may deny him; but if he were to ask for the hereafter, He would give him whatever he would wish. He gives the disbeliever whatever he wishes in this world but if he were to ask for a foot of land in the hereafter, He would not give that to him.
