'Allah said, 'By My Might, Exaltedness, Greatness and Splendour, verily I protect My friend by not giving him something in this world that will preoccupy him from My remembrance, and [that he may continue to call Me] so that I can hear his voice, .. and verily I grant the disbeliever his wish for him so that he stops calling Me lest I hear his voice.?
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
