✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ علیه السلام قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَنَّ فِیکَ خَیْراً فَانْظُرْ إِلَی قَلْبِکَ فَإِنْ کَانَ یُحِبُّ أَهْلَ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ یُبْغِضُ أَهْلَ مَعْصِیَتِهِ فَفِیکَ خَیْرٌ وَ اللَّهُ یُحِبُّکَ وَ إِذَا کَانَ یُبْغِضُ أَهْلَ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ یُحِبُّ أَهْلَ مَعْصِیَتِهِ فَلَیْسَ فِیکَ خَیْرٌ وَ اللَّهُ یُبْغِضُکَ وَ الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَ

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 126

Imam al-Baqir (peace of God be upon him) said: If you want to know if there is good in you, then look into your heart! If it loves the people of obedience to God, the Almighty and Glorious, and hates the people of disobedience to Him, then there is good in you and God loves you. But if it hates the people of obedience to God and loves the people of disobedience to Him, then there is no good in you and God hates you, and every person is with whom he loves!

2 قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ علیه السلام: مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْکُمْ أَنْ یَعْلَمَ کَیْفَ مَنْزِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَلْیَنْظُرْ کَیْفَ مَنْزِلَةُ اللَّهِ مِنْهُ عِنْدَ الذُّنُوبِ کَذَلِکَ مَنْزِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی

📚 Al-Khisal, vol. 2, p. 159

The Commander of the Faithful (peace of God be upon him) said: Let each of you who wants to know his status and position with God look at what God's status and position are with him when he commits sins, and his status and position with God will be the same!

3 قَالَ الصَّادِقُ علیه السلام: مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ یَعْرِفَ کَیْفَ مَنْزِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَلْیَعْرِفْ کَیْفَ مَنْزِلَةُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ یُنْزِلُ الْعَبْدَ مِثْلَ مَا یُنْزِلُ الْعَبْدُ اللَّهَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

📚 'Uddat al-Da'i, p. 106

Imam al-Sadiq (peace of God be upon him) said: Whoever wants to know his status with God should know God's status with him, for God gives the servant a status like the one the servant gives to God!

4 عَنِ ابْنِ الْجَهْمِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا علیه السلام جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ أَشْتَهِی أَنْ أَعْلَمَ کَیْفَ أَنَا عِنْدَکَ فَقَالَ انْظُرْ کَیْفَ أَنَا عِنْدَکَ

📚 Uyun al-Akhbar, vol. 1, p. 145

Ibn Jahm says: I said to Imam al-Ridha (peace of God be upon him): May I be sacrificed for you! I want to know what my status is with you! The Imam said: Look at what my status is with you!

✅According to the above narrations and others, if someone wants to know what status and position he has with God Almighty, he should see what status he gives to God, the Blessed and Exalted, when he commits sins, and he should see what status God has with him, for his status with God will be the same!

Of course, loving the people of obedience and hating the people of disobedience is also introduced as one of the criteria for God's love for a servant.

Likewise, whoever wants to know what status he has with his Imam should look at what status the Imam has with him!

✅ It is clear that we can find a better status with the Remnant of God (peace of God be upon him) by constantly remembering Imam al-Zaman (peace be upon him) and supplicating a lot for the hastening of his relief. Therefore, we should whisper the following supplication more than before:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
