To Agree With the Decision (of Allah)

6ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُهَيْكٍ بَيَّاعِ الْهَرَوِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنَ لا أَصْرِفُهُ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلا جَعَلْتُهُ خَيْراً لَهُ فَلْيَرْضَ بِقَضَائِي وَلْيَصْبِرْ عَلَى بَلائِي وَلْيَشْكُرْ نَعْمَائِي أَكْتُبْهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مِنَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ عِنْدِي.
6. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from ‘Amr ibn al-Nuhayk Bayya’ al-Harawi who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, “Whatever conditions I may turn My believing servant to are for his good. He then must agree with My decisions, be patient in My trial and appreciate My favors. I will then, O Muhammad, count him among the truthful ones.”’”
