ThawÄb al-AÊ¿mÄl wa Ê¿iqÄb al-AÊ¿mÄl - Rewards Chapter: Reward of expecting good from Allah 1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Saâd b. Abdillah from Yaâqub b. Yazid from Muhammad b. Abi âUmayr from Abdulrahman b. al-Hajjaj from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: âIf a servant has good expectations from Allah he will be rewarded according to his expectations. And one who expects bad will be meted out according to his ill expectations.
This is the meaning of the words of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: And that was your (evil) thought which you entertained about your Lord that has tumbled you down into perdition, so are you become of the lost ones.
