قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي مَالًا فَرَزَقَنِي وَ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي وَلَداً فَرَزَقَنِي وَلَداً وَ سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي دَاراً فَرَزَقَنِي وَ قَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ اسْتِدْرَاجاً فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْحَمْدِ فَلَا.

17. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from al-Hassan ibn ‘Atiyyah from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following: “Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘I prayed to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, for property and He granted me. I prayed to Allah for a child and He granted me. I prayed to Him for a house and He granted me. I am afraid that it (coming true of my wishes) is a kind of leading me to my own destruction (gradually)’ The Imam said, ‘I swear by Allah, it is not so if it takes place along with expressing His praise.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

[1]في القاموس استدرجه: خدعه و أدناه كدرجه. و استدراجه تعالى العبد أنّه كلما جدد خطيئة جدد له نعمة و أنساه الاستغفار، أو أن يأخذه قليلا قليلا و لا يباغته و البغتة: الفجأة.ص 97
