25. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad fand Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ibn Mahbub from al-Haytham ibn Waqid al-Jazari who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, sent a prophet to his people and inspired him to tell his people that the Lord says, ‘There has not been any inhabitants of a town or people who obeyed Me and lived happily and then changed from the condition that 1 loved to what I disliked, but that 1 also changed their condition from what they liked to what they disliked. There has not been any inhabitant of a town or a house who disobeyed Me and were suffering hardships. They then changed their condition from what I disliked to what I loved, I also then changed their condition from what they disliked to what they loved. Tell them that My favors come before My anger. Do not despair of receiving My favors; sins are not much greater to Me to forgive. Tell them not to subject themselves stubbornly to My anger and do not consider My friends insignificant; when angry. My striking is insurmountable and no one of the creatures can withstand it.’”
