The Exclusive Honors that Allah has Reserved for the Believers

72 - وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن الله إذا أحب عبدا عصمه، وجعل غناه في نفسه، وجعل ثوابه بين عينيه وإذا أبغضه وكله إلى نفسه، وجعل فقره بين عينيه.
72. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah عليه السلام said: When Allah loves a person, He safeguards him, places contentment in his soul and sets aside reward as his lot. And when He despises him, He leaves him to his own soul and fixes want as his destiny.
