مَا أَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ ( عليه السلام ) يَا مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ مَا خَلَقْتُ خَلْقاً أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَبْتَلِيهِ لِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَ أُعَافِيهِ لِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَ أَزْوِي عَنْهُ مَا هُوَ شَرٌّ لَهُ لِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصْلُحُ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدِي فَلْيَصْبِرْ عَلَى بَلَائِي وَ لْيَشْكُرْ نَعْمَائِي وَ لْيَرْضَ بِقَضَائِي أَكْتُبْهُ فِي الصِّدِّيقِينَ عِنْدِي إِذَا عَمِلَ بِرِضَائِي وَ أَطَاعَ أَمْرِي .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Dawood Bin Farqad, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>: ‘Among what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Musa Bin Imran<sup>as</sup> was: “O Musa<sup>as</sup> Bin Imran! I<sup>azwj</sup> have not Created a creature more Beloved to Me<sup>azwj</sup> than My<sup>azwj</sup> believing servant. So I<sup>azwj</sup>, rather, Test him for what is better for him, and Grant him health which is better for him, and Deter from him what is evil for him to what is better for him, and I<sup>azwj</sup> am more Knowing with what is correct upon My<sup>azwj</sup> servant. Therefore, let him be patient upon My<sup>azwj</sup> afflictions, and let him be grateful for My<sup>azwj</sup> Bounties, and let him be pleased with My<sup>azwj</sup> Judgement. I<sup>azwj</sup> shall Write for him to be among the truthful ones in My<sup>azwj</sup> Presence, when he acts by My<sup>azwj</sup> Pleasure and obeys My<sup>azwj</sup> Commands’.
