The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 145 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ أَقْبَلَ قِبَلَ مَا يُحِبُّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَقْبَلَ الله قِبَلَ مَا يُحِبُّ وَمَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِالله عَصَمَهُ الله وَمَنْ أَقْبَلَ الله قِبَلَهُ وَعَصَمَهُ لَمْ يُبَالِ لَوْ سَقَطَتِ السَّمَاءُ عَلَى الأرْضِ أَوْ كَانَتْ نَازِلَةٌ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الأرْضِ فَشَمِلَتْهُمْ بَلِيَّةٌ كَانَ فِي حِزْبِ الله بِالتَّقْوَى مِنْ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ أَ لَيْسَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقامٍ أَمِينٍ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “Any servant (of Allah) who comes forward to accept what Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, loves, Allah comes forward with what he (the servant) loves. Whoever seeks protection with Allah, He protects him. To whoever’s rescue Allah comes He will protect him even if the skies were to fall on earth or an incident involving all the inhabitants of earth were to befall them, but the person under the protection of Allah would be among the members of the party of Allah, well-guarded against all misfortunes. Is it not that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, says, ‘The pious people are in a trustable and stable place?”’ (44:51)
