Hope And Fear

It is reported that Abu ‘Abd Allah Imam Sadiq said: “Jesus the son of Mary (‘a) sent two of his companions on an errand. Then one of them returned thin and afflicted and the other fat and chubby. He said to the one who was thin: what did this to you, that I see you this way?’ He said: ‘The fear of Allah.’ And he said to the other who was fat: ‘What did this to you, that I see you this way?’ He said: ‘A good opinion of Allah.’ ” ^{1 2}
