عَجِبْتُ لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ قَضَاءً إِلَّا كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ وَ إِنْ قُرِضَ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ وَ إِنْ مَلَكَ مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبَهَا كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ.

8. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Fudayl ibn ‘Uthman from ibn abu Ya’fur from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The case of a Muslim (believer) man is amazing. There is no decision that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, makes about him but that it is in his best interest. Even if he is cut in pieces with scissors, still it is for his good. If he may possess the kingdom of the East and West of the earth, still it is for his good.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
