إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَبْتَلِي الْمُؤْمِنَ بِكُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ يُمِيتُهُ بِكُلِّ مِيتَةٍ وَ لَا يَبْتَلِيهِ بِذَهَابِ عَقْلِهِ أَ مَا تَرَى أَيُّوبَ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ سَلَّطَ إِبْلِيسَ عَلَى مَالِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ وَ لَمْ يُسَلِّطْهُ عَلَى عَقْلِهِ تَرَكَ لَهُ مَا يُوَحِّدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Usman Al Nawwa, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Afflict the Believer with every affliction, and he dies with every death, but He<sup>azwj</sup> does not afflict him with the departure of his intellect. Did you not see Ayoub<sup>as</sup>, how Iblees<sup>la</sup> overcame upon his<sup>as</sup> wealth, and his<sup>as</sup> children, and upon his<sup>as</sup> wife, and upon everything from it, but did not overcome upon his<sup>as</sup> intellect? It was left for him<sup>as</sup> to what he<sup>as</sup> could (worship) the One the Undivisible<sup>azwj</sup>’.
