Kitāb al-Muʾmin
Hadith 3535 - وعن أبي عبد الله (ع) أنه قال إنَّ الله (جلّ جلاله) لَيعتذرُ إلى عبده المحوج الّذي كان في الدنيا كما يعتذر الأخُ إلى أخيه، فيقول: لا وعزّتي وجلالي ما أفقرتُك لهوانٍ كان بك عليَّ، فارفع هذا الغطاءَ فانظر ما عوّضتُك من الدنيا. فيُكشفُ له فيَنظرُ ما عوّضه الله (جلّ جلاله) من الدنيا، فيقول: ما ضرَّني يا ربُّ مع ما عوَّضتَني.
35. It has been narrated that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said: Allah [M.G] speaks apologetically to his destitute (believing) servant in this world - like a brother explaining himself to a brother - saying, 'Nay, I swear by My Might and My Glory, I did not impoverish you to disgrace you. Raise this veil and look at what I have given you in compensation for this world.' So, when the veil is removed for him and he sees what Allah has substituted for him in exchange for this world, he will exclaim, 'I have not been harmed, O Lord, seeing what You have given me in exchange.
