قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ عَظَمَتِي وَ كِبْرِيَائِي وَ نُورِي وَ عُلُوِّي وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَكَانِي لَا يُؤْثِرُ عَبْدٌ هَوَاهُ عَلَى هَوَايَ إِلَّا شَتَّتُّ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَ لَبَّسْتُ عَلَيْهِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ شَغَلْتُ قَلْبَهُ بِهَا وَ لَمْ أُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا قَدَّرْتُ لَهُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ عَظَمَتِي وَ نُورِي وَ عُلُوِّي وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَكَانِي لَا يُؤْثِرُ عَبْدٌ هَوَايَ عَلَى هَوَاهُ إِلَّا اسْتَحْفَظْتُهُ مَلَائِكَتِي وَ كَفَّلْتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ رِزْقَهُ وَ كُنْتُ لَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ تِجَارَةِ كُلِّ تَاجِرٍ وَ أَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَ هِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying: “By My<sup>azwj</sup> Honour, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Majesty, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Magnificence, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Greatness, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Light, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Exaltedness, and the Loftiness of My<sup>azwj</sup> Position! A servant would not prefer his own personal desires over My<sup>azwj</sup> Desires except that I<sup>azwj</sup> will Scatter his affairs over him and Clothe his world upon him, and pre-occupy his heart with it, and would not Give him from it except what I<sup>azwj</sup> have Ordained for him. And by My<sup>azwj</sup> Honour, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Majesty, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Magnificence, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Light, and My<sup>azwj</sup> Exaltedness, and the Loftiness of My<sup>azwj</sup> Position! No servant would prefer My<sup>azwj</sup> Desires above his own personal desires except that I<sup>azwj</sup> Make My<sup>azwj</sup> Angels to guard him, and the skies and the earth would guarantee his sustenance, and I<sup>saww</sup> would Back him from behind every trade with every trader, and the world would come to him and it (world) would be subdued’.
