Allah has people of good fortune and wicked ones
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 345
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ عِبَاداً مَيَامِينَ مَيَاسِيرَ يَعِيشُونَ وَ يَعِيشُ النَّاسُ فِي أَكْنَافِهِمْ وَ هُمْ فِي عِبَادِهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْقَطْرِ وَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عِبَادٌ مَلَاعِينُ مَنَاكِيرُ لَا يَعِيشُونَ وَ لَا يَعِيشُ النَّاسُ فِي أَكْنَافِهِمْ وَ هُمْ فِي عِبَادِهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجَرَادِ لَا يَقَعُونَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَتَوْا عَلَيْهِ.
345. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Musa Bin Ja’far, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Khalaf Bin Isa, from Abu Uney Al-Mada’iny, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام has said that Allah عز وجل has servants who are auspicious and righteous who are living, and the people live in their protection, and they are among His عز وجل servants at the status of the country. And Allah عز وجل has servants who are accursed and deniers. Neither do they live (a good life) nor do the people in their protection, and they are among His عز وجل servants at the status of the locusts. They do not occur on something except that they devour it’.
