Pearl of Wisdom

when he set out to pray for rain, 'Allah tries His servants when they commit evil deeds, with shortage of crops, disallowance of blessings and closing the treasury of bounties, so that a repenting man may repent, a man likely to quit may quit, a man likely to remember may remember, and a man likely to be deterred may be deterred.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 143
