80ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنَّ رَبَّكم حَيِيٌّ كريمٌ ، يَستَحيِي أن يَبسُطَ العبدُ يَدَيهِ إلَيهِ فَيَرُدَّهُما صِفراً. |
80– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Verily your Lord is bashful and kind. He would be too ashamed for His servant to open his hands to Him [in supplication] and for Him to return them empty.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 3128] |
81ـ الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): المؤمنُ مِن دُعائهِ على ثلاثٍ: إمّا أن يُدَّخَرَ لَهُ ، و إمّا أن يُعَجَّلَ لَهُ ، و إمّا أن يُدْفَعَ عَنهُ بَلاءٌ يُريدُ أن يُصِيبَهُ. |
81– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘There are three types of outcome from a believer’s supplication: either it is stored away for him for later, or it is hastened for him, or it repels a calamity waiting to afflict him.’[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 280] |
82ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): يَتَمَنّى المؤمنُ أ نّه لم يُستَجَبْ لَهُ دَعوَةٌ في الدنيا مِمّا يَرى مِن حُسنِ الثوابِ. |
82– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The believer would wish that none of his supplications were answered in this world when he sees his beautiful and great rewards [in the Hereafter].’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 491, no. 9] |
