وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "كُنْ لِمَا لاَ تَرْجُو أَرْجَى مِنْكَ لِمَا تَرْجُو فَإِنَّ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ خَرَجَ يَقْتَبِسُ لِأَهْلِهِ نَاراً فَكَلَّمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رَجَعَ نَبِيّاً وَ خَرَجَتْ مَلِكَةُ، سَبَإٍ فَأَسْلَمَتْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ خَرَجَتْ سَحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ يَطْلُبُونَ اَلْعِزَّةَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ فَرَجَعُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ ".
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) said: "Be more hopeful for what you do not expect than for what you expect. Indeed, Moses, son of Imran (a.s), went out to fetch fire for his family, but Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, spoke to him, and he returned as a prophet. And the Queen of Sheba went out and embraced Islam with Solomon (a.s). And the magicians of Pharaoh went out seeking honor for Pharaoh but returned as believers."
