مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْقَلِيلِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَرَادَ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ النَّاسَ بِالْكَثِيرِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ فِي تَعَبٍ مِنْ بَدَنِهِ وَ سَهَرٍ مِنْ لَيْلِهِ أَبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقَلِّلَهُ فِي عَيْنِ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Yahya Bin Bashir, from his father, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The one who intends Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic with the little from his deeds, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Manifest a lot for him from what he intended; and the one who intends the people with the more from his deeds during the exhaustion from his body and staying awake from his night, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would Refuse except that He<sup>azwj</sup> Belittles it in the eyes of the ones whom he (intended to) hear him’.
