كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مُصِيبَةً أُصِيبَ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَصْبِرْ تُؤْجَرْ وَ إِلَّا تَصْبِرْ يَمْضِ عَلَيْكَ قَدَرُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي قَدَّرَ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ مَأْزُورٌ .
Translation
Sahl, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Fuzayl Bin Muyassar who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so a man came over complaining to him<sup>asws</sup> of a difficulty (bereavement) he had been hit with. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘But, if you were to observe patience, you would be Recompensed, or if you are not patient, there would (still) pass upon you the Ordainment of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> which He<sup>azwj</sup> has Ordained upon you, and you would be burdened (counted as a sinner)’.
