إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ‌ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كُلَّ كَلَامِ الْحَكِيمِ أَتَقَبَّلُ إِنَّمَا أَتَقَبَّلُ هَوَاهُ وَ هَمَّهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ هَوَاهُ وَ هَمُّهُ فِي رِضَايَ جَعَلْتُ هَمَّهُ تَقْدِيساً وَ تَسْبِيحاً[2].

Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has said; “I (azwj) do not Accept every wise statement, but rather I (azwj) Accept his wish and his concern, for if his wish and his concern is within My (azwj) Pleasure, I (azwj) Makes his concern to be an Extolling of Holiness and a Glorification’.
