Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Aban ibn Uthman, Hisham ibn Salim, and Muhammad ibn Humran from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, who said: "I am amazed at the one who becomes afraid - how does he not turn to the words of Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: 'Allah
سبحانه وتعالى is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs' (Surah AAl-E-Imran
3:173)? For I heard Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, say immediately after it: 'So they returned with favor from Allah
سبحانه وتعالى and bounty, no harm having touched them' (Surah AAl-E-Imran
3:174). And I am amazed at the one who is distressed - how does he not turn to His saying: 'There is no God but You; glory be to You! Indeed, I was among the wrongdoers' (Surah Al-Anbiya
21:87)? For I heard Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, say after it: 'So We responded to him and saved him from distress. And thus do We save the believers' (Surah Al-Anbiya
21:88). And I am amazed at the one who is plotted against - how does he not turn to His
سبحانه وتعالى saying: 'I entrust my affair to Allah
سبحانه وتعالى. Indeed, Allah
سبحانه وتعالى is Seeing of the servants' (Surah Ghafir
40:44)? For I heard Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, say after it: 'So Allah
سبحانه وتعالى protected him from the evil of their plots' (Surah Ghafir
40:45). And I am amazed at the one who desires the world and its adornments - how does he not turn to His
سبحانه وتعالى saying: 'What Allah
سبحانه وتعالى wills [will happen]. There is no power except with Allah
سبحانه وتعالى' (Surah Al-Kahf
18:39)? For I heard Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, say after it: 'If you see me less than you in wealth and children, perhaps my Lord
عز وجل will give me something better than your garden' (Surah Al-Kahf
18:39). And indeed, the word 'perhaps' necessitates fulfillment."
