(2365)
Imam Ali (AS) says:
Perhaps you asked the thing, so you will not give it to you, and you will be more than it You are in what is worthy of you and exiles you and with it.
Sometimes you ask for something (from God) but you will not be given to you sooner or later, or because of what your good and expediency is, it is prevented from fulfilling your wishes, because it may be possible. You wish that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction and destruction of your religion, so ask for something that beauty and goodness will remain for you and have no consequence.
