قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي مَالًا فَرَزَقَنِي وَ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي وَلَداً فَرَزَقَنِي وَلَداً وَ سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي دَاراً فَرَزَقَنِي وَ قَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ اسْتِدْرَاجاً فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْحَمْدِ فَلَا .
Translation
Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Hassan Bin Atiyya, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I asked Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic to Grace me wealth, so He<sup>azwj</sup> Graced me, and I asked Allah<sup>azwj</sup> that He<sup>azwj</sup> Grace me a son, so He<sup>azwj</sup> Graced me a son, and I asked Him<sup>azwj</sup> that He<sup>azwj</sup> Graced me a house, so He<sup>azwj</sup> Graced me, and I fear that, that would happen to be a gradual Punishment’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘As for, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, (if it is) with the Praise, so no’.
