Surrender To Allah

A group of people went to the presence of Imam al-Baqir (a.s). This visit

coincided with the illness of one of his children. They found him sad and

restless. They said, “By Allah, if anything happens to him, we might see from

him what we do not approve of.” It was not long time when they heard the Imam

wailing. He came back to his friends with open face. They said to him, “May we

be your ransom! We were afraid that if something happened we would see you more

sorrowful.” The Imam said, “We would like to see one whom we love safe and sound

but there is Allah’s decree, we will surrender to what He loves.”

[ Al-Kafi: 226/3, H 14.]
