2-31 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his uncle Muhammad ibn Abil-Qasim quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Barqy, on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Khalid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sin’an, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn (Abi) Zyad, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB),

"The Blessed the Sublime God sent down an angel to Earth. He stayed on the Earth for a long time and then returned to the heavens. He was asked, “What did you see there?” He said, “I saw many amazing things there, but the most amazing thing that I saw was someone who abused your blessings. He ate of what You provided for his sustenance, but claimed to be god. I was amazed at his boldness and Your Patience.” God the Almighty said, “You were amazed at My Patience? I let him live for four-hundred years, and he never got ill. I granted to him whatever he wanted in the world, and I never changed his food and drinks.”
