٦١- وعن أب عبد اله (ع) قال: نزل جبرئيل عل النب (ص) فقال يا محمد، إنّ ربك يقول: من أهان عبدي المؤمن فقد استقبلن بالمحاربة. وما تقرب إل عبدي المؤمن بمثل أداء الفرائض، وإنه ليتنفل ل حت أحبه، فإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر به ويدَه الت يبطش بها ورجلَه الت يمش بها. وما ترددت ف ش أنا فاعله كترددي ف موتِ عبدي المؤمن؛ يره الموت وأنا أكره مساءته. وإنّ من المؤمنين من لا يسعه إلا الفقر، ولو حولتُه إل الغن كان شراً له، ومنهم من لا يسعه إلا الغن ولو حولتُه إل الفَقر لان شراً له. وإنّ عبدي ليسألُن قَضاء الحاجة، فأمنعه إياها لما هو خير له
61. It has been related that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said: Archangel Gabriel descended to the Prophet [a.s] and said: O Muhammad! Your Lord says: One who humiliates My believing servant confronts Me with war. My believing servant has never drawn closer to Me with anything better than fulfilling the obligatory acts; and indeed, he performs the supererogatory acts for Me until I love him. So, when I love him, I become his ears that he hears with, his eyes that he sees with, his hands that he grasps with and his legs that he walks with. There is nothing I hesitate in doing like in taking the life of My believing servant. He dislikes death and I dislike causing him pain. Yet amongst the believers there are some who will not be well except by destitution and if I were to surround them with wealth, it would be evil for them; and amongst them are some who are not well except in affluence and if I were to surround them with poverty, it would be evil for them. Sometimes, My servant asks Me to fulfill a need (he has), but I deny him because of what is best for him.
