Pearl of Wisdom
Allah Almighty revealed unto David (AS), 'Why is it that I see you alone?' He said, 'I deserted people and they deserted me because of You.' 'So why is it that I see you quiet?' He said, my awe of You has rendered me quiet.' He Almighty asked, 'So why do I see you tired?' He said, 'Your love has tired me.' He Almighty asked, 'So why do I see you poor, whilst I have provided you?' He said, 'Undertaking Your rights has impoverished me.' He Almighty asked, 'So why do I see you humiliated?' He said, 'The greatness of Your indescribable Magnitude has humiliated me, and this is Your right O Master.' Allah Almighty said, 'Then rejoice with grace from Me, for you will have whatever you want when you meet Me. Associate with people to correct their morals, and disassociate from them in their actions, and you will achieve from Me whatever you desire from Me on the Day of Judgment.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] Amali al-Saduq, p. 263, no. 280
