Chapter 1 | The Severity of a Believer’s Afflictions
50 - وقال أبو عبد الله (ع) إنّه لَيكون للعبدِ منـزلةٌ عند الله (جلّ جلاله) لا يبلغُها إلاّ بإحدى الخِصلتين، إمّا ببليّةٍ في جسمه أو بذهاب مالِه.
50. Abu 'Abd Allah said: Sometimes, a person has a certain level (reserved for him) with Allah that he does not attain except by one of two characteristics: either by an ailment in his body or by the loss of his assets.
