Pearl of Wisdom
When Allah, Blessed and most High, wants to honour a servant who has previously committed a sin, He tries him with illness, and if not with that then with need. And if not with that, then He makes his death difficult. But when He wants to humiliate a servant who has done some good previously, He makes his body healthy, or makes his sustenance abundant, or makes his death easy.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] A'lam al-Din, p. 433
