كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتِي فِي دِينِي وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَوْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مُصِيبَتِي أَعْظَمَ مِمَّا كَانَتْ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي شَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فَكَانَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, raising it, said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was saying during the difficulty (bereavement): ‘The Praise is for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Who did not Make my<sup>asws</sup> difficulty to be in my<sup>asws</sup> Religion. And the Praise is for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Who, had He<sup>azwj</sup> so Desired to, would have Made my<sup>asws</sup> difficulty to be greater than what it was. And the Praise is for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> upon the matter which had He<sup>azwj</sup> so Desired, would have happened’.
