A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from Burayd ibn Mu‘awiyah al-‘Ijliy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “When I want to bring together for a Muslim the goodness of this and the next life, I place in him a heart that shows reverence (to Me), a tongue that speaks (of Me), a body that bears patience in hardships and a believing wife who gives him joy when he looks to her and who protects his interest in his absence.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (0/15))
