699. THE REASONS FOR DELAYED Responses

2161.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : قالَ اللَّهُ تعالى‏ : وعِزَّتي وجلالي وعَظَمَتي وبَهائي ، إنّي لَأَحمِي وَليّي أن اُعطِيَهُ في دارِ الدنيا شيئاً يشغَلُهُ عن ذِكري حتّى‏ يَدعُوَني فأسمَعَ صوتَهُ ، و إنّي لَأُعطي الكافرَ مُنيَتَهُ حتّى‏ لا يَدعُوَني فَأسمَعَ صوتَهُ بُغضاً لَهُ .¹

2161.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, '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.' ²

2162.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لا يُقَنِّطَنَّكَ إبطاءُ إجابتِهِ ، فإنَّ العطيَّةَ على‏ قَدْرِ النِّيَّةِ ، وربّما اُخِّرَتْ عنكَ الإجابةُ لِيَكونَ ذلكَ أعظَمَ لِأجرِ السائلِ وأجزَلَ لِعَطاءِ الآمِلِ ، وربّما سألتَ الشي‏ءَ فلم تُؤْتاهُ واُوتيتَ خيراً مِنهُ عاجِلاً أو آجِلاً ، أو صُرِفَ عنكَ لِما هُوَ خيرٌ لكَ ، فَلَرُبَّ أمرٍ قد طَلِبْتَهُ وفيهِ هلاكُ دينِكَ لو اُوتيتَهُ .³

2162.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'A delay in response should not dishearten you, for verily the grant [from Allah] is proportional to [the sincerity of] your intention, and maybe the response has been delayed in order for it to be a greater reward for the one who asked and a greater bestowal for the hopeful one, or maybe you asked for something and it was not given to you and instead you are to be granted something better sooner or later, or it may have been kept away from you for your own good, for many a matter that you ask for would be detrimental to your religion [and faith] if it were to be given to you.' ⁴

2159.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : سألتُ اللَّهَ أن لا يَستَجيبَ دعاءَ حبيبٍ على‏ حبيبِهِ .¹

2159.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'I asked Allah not to answer the supplication of an enamoured one against his beloved.' ²

2160.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : أربعٌ لا يُستَجابُ لَهُم دعاءٌ : الرجلُ جالسٌ في بَيتِهِ يقولُ : يا ربِّ ارزُقْني ، فيقولُ لَهُ : ألَم آمُرْكَ بالطَّلَبِ ؟ ! ورجلٌ كانَت لَهُ امرأةٌ فَدَعا علَيها ، فيقولُ : ألَم أجعَلْ أمرَها بيدِكَ ؟! ورجلٌ كانَ لَهُ مالٌ فأفسَدَهُ فيقولُ : يا ربِّ ارزُقْني ، فيقولُ لَهُ : ألَم آمُرْكَ بالاقتِصادِ ؟! ... ورجلٌ كانَ لَهُ مالٌ فأدانَهُ بغيرِ بَيِّنَةٍ فَيَقولُ : ألَم آمُرْكَ بِالشَّهادَةِ ؟! ³

2160.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'There are four kinds of people whose supplications do not get answered: the man who sits in his house saying, 'O my Lord, grant me sustenance', to whom He says, 'Did I not command you to seek [for your sustenance]?', then there is the man who has a wife and supplicates against her, to whom He replies, 'Did I not make you responsible for her [put her affairs in your hands]?', and a man who has wealth and wastes it, who says, 'O my Lord, grant me sustenance', to whom He replies, 'Did I not command you to be economical?'...and a man who has wealth and loans it to someone without keeping any proof [of loan], to whom He replies, 'Did I not command you to take a witness?!' ⁴
