لاَ تَأْمَنَنَّ عَلَى خَيْرِ هذِهِ الاْمَّةِ عَذَابَ اللهِ، لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالى: (فَلا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ اَلْقَوْمُ اَلْخاسِرُونَ) وَ لاَ تَيْأَسَنَّ لِشَرِّ هَذِهِ اَلْأُمَّةِ مِنْ رَوْحِ اَللَّهِ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى (إِنَّهُ لا يَيْأَسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ اَلْقَوْمُ اَلْكافِرُونَ)

Imam Ali (as):

Don’t suppose even the best of this community secure against God’s punishment, for the Almighty says, «Only losers feel secure against God’s reckoning». Don’t suppose that even the worst of this community is without hope of receiving God’s grace, for the Almighty says, «Only unbelievers despair of God’s grace.»

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لِيَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ وَجِلِينَ كَمَا يَرَاكُمْ مِنَ النِّقْمَةِ فَرِقِينَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ وُسِّعَ عَلَيْهِ فِى ذَاتِ يَدِهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ ذَلِكَ اسْتِدْرَاجاً فَقَدْ أَمِنَ مَخُوفاً وَ مَنْ ضُيِّقَ عَلَيْهِ فِى ذَاتِ يَدِهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ ذَلِكَ اخْتِبَاراً فَقَدْ ضَيَّعَ مَأْمُولًا

Imam Ali (as):

People! Let God see you vigilant in times of ease, just as he sees you wary in times of hardship. Whoever fails to see the test when his hands fill with blessings is complacent about the impending terror. Whoever fails to see the trial when his hands straiten, squanders the reward he could have received.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

عِنْدَ تَنَاهِى الشِّدَّةِ تَكُونُ الْفَرْجَةُ وَ عِنْدَ تَضَايُقِ حَلَقِ الْبَلَاءِ يَكُونُ الرَّخَاءُ

Imam Ali (as):

At the extremity of hardship comes relief, and at the tightening of the chains of tribulation comes ease.

[وَ قَدْ عَزَّى الْأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ عَنِ ابْنٍ لَهُ] يَا أَشْعَثُ ابْنُكَ سَرَّكَ وَ هُوَ بَلَاءٌ وَ فِتْنَةٌ وَ حَزَنَكَ وَ هُوَ ثَوَابٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ

Imam Ali (as):

[Giving condolences to Ash'ath ibn Qays on the death of his son, Imam Ali (AS) said:] O Ash'ath, your son (when he lived) gave you happiness while, at the same time, he was a trial and hardship and (when he died) he grieved you while, at the same time, he has proved a source of reward and mercy for you

مَا قَالَ النَّاسُ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ طُوبَى لَهُ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ خَبَأَ لَهُ الدَّهْرُ يَوْمَ سَوْءٍ

Imam Ali (as):

For every individual about whom people say 'How blessed he is!' there is a severe day waiting for him in this world.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

كَمْ مِنْ مُسْتَدْرَجٍ بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَغْرُورٍ بِالسَّتْرِ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَفْتُونٍ بِحُسْنِ الْقَوْلِ فِيهِ وَ مَا ابْتَلَى اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَحَداً بِمِثْلِ الْإِمْلَاءِ لَهُ

Imam Ali (as):

Many a person approaches Allah’s punishment as a result of His good favor towards him in being ungrateful, and many a person is deluded as a result of Allah’s concealment of his sins, and many a person is captivated by the good things said about him. And Allah does not try anyone with something similar to giving him all the chances [to continue disobeying Him].

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

النَّاسُ اثْنَانِ وَاحِدٌ أَرَاحَ وَ آخَرُ اسْتَرَاحَ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي اسْتَرَاحَ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا مَاتَ اسْتَرَاحَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ بَلَائِهَا وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي أَرَاحَ فَالْكَافِرُ إِذَا مَاتَ أَرَاحَ الشَّجَرَ وَ الدَّوَابَّ وَ كَثِيراً مِنَ النَّاسِ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

People are of two types; the first type consists of those who relieve [others] and the second type are those who are relieved; as for the one who is relieved, it is the believer whose death relieves him and sets him free of the world and its ordeals. And as for the one who relieves others, it is the disbeliever in whose death the trees, the animals and many of the people find relief.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

لا يَجدُ عَبدٌ طعمَ الإيمانِ حتّى يَعلمَ أنَّ ما أصابَهُ لم يكُن لِيُخطِئَهُ ، وََأنَّ ما أخطأهُ لم يكُن ليُصيبَهُ، وََأنَّ الضّارَّ النّافِعَ هوَ اللّهُ عزّ و جلّ .

Imam Ali (as):

A servant will never savour the taste of faith until he knows that that which afflicts him would never have missed him, and that that which has missed him would never have touched him, and that the only One to induce harm and benefit is Allah, Mighty and Exalted.
