Al-Kāfi - The Book on Oneness of Allah (God) Chapter: Chapter on Fortunateness and Un-fortunateness ِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْ٠َّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِ٠ْرَانَ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ ٠ُعَلَّى بْنِ عُثْ٠َانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) أَنَّهُ قَالَ يُسْلَكُ بِالسَّعِيدِ فِي طَرِيقِ الاشْقِيَاءِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ النَّاسُ ٠َا أَشْبَهَهُ بِهِ٠َّ يَتَدَارَكُهُ السَّعَادَةُ وَقَدْ يُسْلَكُ بِالشَّقِيِّ فِي طَرِيقِ السُّعَدَاءِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ النَّاسُ ٠َا أَشْبَهَهُ بِهِ٠َّ يَتَدَارَكُهُ الشَّقَاءُ إِنَّ ٠َنْ كَتَبَهُ الله سَعِيداً وَإِنْ لَ٠ِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلا فُوَاقُ نَاقَةٍ خَتَ٠َ لَهُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ.

Sometimes a unfortunate one is made to walk on the path of the fortunate ones and people begins to say, “How similar has he become with them? In fact, he has become one of them. But misfortune takes hold of him. Whoever Allah has written to be of the fortunate ones, even if very little time, such equal to the period between two breast-feeding of a camel her young, would have been left from his life in this world Allah will make it end in good fortune.
