1461. Trial and Temptation

(أحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لا يُفْتَنُونَ * وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكاذِبِينَ) .1

"Do people imagine that they will be left off (on their own) saying: 'We believe!' and they will not be tried? And indeed We did try those before them, so God certainly knows those who are true, and certainly He knows the liars." 2

(أوَلا يَرَوْنَ أنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عامٍ مَرَّةً أوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ) .3

"See they not that they are tried once or twice in every year yet they do not turn (to God), and nor do they remember." 4

4932.مُعمَّر بنِ خَلّادٍ : سَمِعتُ أبا الحَسَنِ عليه السلام يقولُ : (الم * أحَسِبَ الناسُ أنْ يُتْرَكُوا أنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنّا وهُم لا يُفْتَنُونَ)5 ثُمّ قالَ لي : ما الفِتنَةُ ؟ قلتُ : جُعِلتُ فداكَ الذي عِندَنا الفِتنَةُ في الدِّينِ ، فقالَ : يُفتَنُونَ كما يُفتَنُ الذَّهبُ ، ثُمّ قالَ : يُخلَصُونَ كما يُخلَصُ الذَّهبُ .6

4932. Muammar b. Khallad said, 'I heard Imam al-Rida (AS) say: "Alif, lam, mim. Do people imagine that they will be left off (on their own) saying: "We believe!" and they will not be tried", and he then asked me, 'What is trial?' I said, 'May my soul be sacrificed for you, what I know is that it is to be tested in religion.' He said, 'They [the believers] will be tried the way gold is tried', he then said, 'They will be purified the way gold is purified.' 7
