Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kitab Al-Mumin Chapter 1:The Severity of a Believer’s Afflictions 1 - باب شدة ابتلاء المؤمن 1 - عن زرارةَ قال: سمِعتُ أبا جَعفرٍ (ع) يقول في قَضاءِ اللهِ (جلّ جلاله) كُلُّ خَيرٍ للمُؤمِنِ It has been narrated that Zurarah said: I heard Abu Ja'far [a.s] saying: “In the decree of Allah [M.G],[^1] there is nothing but good for a believer.”[^2] 2 - وعَن الصّادِقِ (ع) إنَّ المُسلِمَ لا يَقضِي اللهُ (جلّ جلاله) قَضاءً إلاّ كانَ خَيراً لهُ، وإنْ مَلَكَ مَشارقَ الأرْضِ وَمَغارِبَها كانَ خَيراً لهُ ثمّ تلا هذه الآية: (فَوَقَاهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا وَحَاقَ بِآلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ) ثم قال: أمَا وَاللهِ لقَد تَسلّطوا عَلَيهِ وقَتَلوهُ، فأمّا ما وَقاهُ اللهُ، فَوَقاهُ اللهُ أنْ يَعتو في دِينِه.
It has been narrated that al-Sadiq [a.s] said: “For a Muslim, whatever Allah [M.G] has decreed is good, and if he comes to possess all that is in the East and West, it will still be good for him.” Then, he recited this Verse: “ So, Allah protected him from the evil of their plot. [Holy Quran 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.”[^3] 3 - وعن الصادق (ع) قال: لَو يَعلَمُ المؤمِنُ ما لَه في المَصائِبِ مِنَ الأجْرِ لَتَمَنىّ أنْ يُقَرَّضَ بالمَقارِيضِ It has been narrated that al-Sadiq [a.s] said: “If a believer knew what reward lies for him in suffering tribulations, he would wish he could be cut into pieces with a scissor.”[^4] 4 - عن سعد بن طريف قال: كنتُ عند أبي جعفر (ع) فجاء جميل الأزرق فدخل عليه، قال: فذكروا بلايا الشيعة وما يصيبهم، فقال أبو جعفر (ع): إنّ أُناسا أتوا عليَّ بنَ الحسين (ع) وعبد الله بن عباس فذكروا لهما نحواً مما ذكرتم، قال: فأتيا الحسين بن علي (ع) فذكرا له ذلك، فقال الحسين (ع) واللهِ، البَلاءُ والفَقرُ والقَتلُ أسْرَعُ إلى مَن أحَبَّنا مِن رَكضِ البَراذينِ وَمِن السَّيلِ إلى صَمر.
قلت: وما الصّمر؟ قال مُنتَهاهُ، ولَولا أنْ تكونوا كَذلكَ لَرأينا أنَّكُم لَستُم منّا It has been narrated that Sa'd ibn Tarif said: I was with Abu Ja'far [a.s] when Jamil al-Azraq came by to visit. They began talking about the afflictions of the Shi'ah and their tribulations; and Abu Ja'far [a.s] said: A group of people came to 'Ali ibn Al-Husayn [a.s] and 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas and asked them some questions similar to what you have put forth.
So, they came to Al-Husayn ibn 'Ali [a.s] and asked him about the matter.
