48 - وعن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال الله (جلّ جلاله) عبدي المؤمنُ لا أصرفه في شئ الاّ جعلتُ ذلك خيراً له، فلْيرضَ بقضائي وليصبرْ على بلائي وليشكرْ على نعمائي أكتُبْه في الصدّيقين عندي.
48. It has been related that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said: Allah [M.G] says: Whatever I divert and keep away from My believing servant, I make it good for him. So, let him be pleased with My decree, and let him bear patience over My trials, and let him give thanks over My blessings - and I shall record him amongst the truthful ones.
