لا آخذ ما أحبّ ولا أدفع ما أكره، والاُمور بيد غيري، فإن شاء عذّبني وإن شاء عفا عنّي، فأيّ فقير أفقر مني. (113) وروى المفضّل، عن الصادق عليه السلام إنّه قال: وقع بين سلمان الفارسي رحمة
الله عليه وبين رجل خصومة فقال الرجل لسلمان: من أنت وما أنت؟ فقال سلمان: أما أوّلي وأوّلك فنطفة قذرة، وأما آخري وآخرك فجيفة منتنة، فإذا كان يوم القيامة ونصبت الموازين فمن ثقلت موازينه
فهو الكريم، ومن خفّت موازينه فهو اللّئيم. (114) قال المفضّل: وسمعت الصادق عليه السلام يقول: I cannot gain that which I like and I cannot guard myself against that which I dislike. After all, all my affairs are in the hand of the One Who is other than me. He may torment me and may forgive me if He wills. Is there anyone who is poorer than I am, then?143 (113) Al-Mufaddhal narrated that Imam as-Sadiq (a) related: A quarrel broke out between Salman al-Farsi (r) and a man who addressed to him: "Who are you and what are you?" Salman answered: The first of you and me is a dirty sperm. The last of you and me is a stinking carrion. On the Day of Resurrection, the scales will be maintained. Those whose good deeds will weigh heavier on the scale will be the true noble men, but those whose good deeds will be lighter on the scale, will be the true inglorious."144 (114) Al-Mufaddhal said: I heard Imam as-Sadiq (a) saying: ____________ 143.

(115) وقال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام: جمع الخير كلّه في ثلاث خصال: النظر والسكوت والكلام. فكلّ نظر ليس فيه اعتبار فهو السهو، وكلّ كلام ليس فيه ذكر فهو لهو، وكلّ سكوت ليس فيه فكرة فهو غفلة. فطوبى لمن كان نظره عبراً، وسكوته فكراً، وكلامه ذكراً، وبكى على خطيئته، وأمن الناس شرّه. (116) وقال الصادق عليه السلام: أوحى الله عزّ وجلّ إلى آدم: يا آدم إني أجمع لك الخير كلّه في أربع كلمات واحدة لي وواحدة لك، وواحدة فيما بيني وبينك، وواحدة فيما بينك وبين النّاس. The ordeal of people with regard to us is really great: if we call them, they do not respond, and if we leave them, they will not be guided by anyone else."145 (115) Amir ul-Mu'minin (a) said: The good, as a whole, is gathered in three things: consideration, silence, and wording. Every consideration that lacks learning lessons is inattention, every silence that lacks thinking is inadvertence, and every wording that lacks the mention of Allah is nonsense. Blessed are those whose consideration teaches them lessons, whose silence causes them to think, whose wording is mention of Allah, who weep for their sins, and save people from their evil.146 (116) Imam as-Sadiq (a) said that Allah, Powerful and Majestic is He, revealed to Adam: O Adam, I will gather the good, as a whole, in four words: one is for Me, one is for you, one is between you and Me, and one is between people and you. ____________ 145.

(117) وقال الصّادق عليه السلام: العافّية نعمة خفية، إذا وجدت نسيت وإذا فقدت ذكرت. (118) وروى السكوني عن جعفر بن محمد عن أبيه عن آبائه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: كلمتان غريبتان فاحتملوها؛ كلمة حكمة من سفيه فاقبلوها، وكلمة سفه من حكيم فاغفروها. The word that is for Me is that you should worship only Me without associating anything (or anyone) with Me. The word that is for you is that I will reward you in your most critical need (for the compensation of your acts). The word that is between you and Me is that you should supplicate to Me and I will answer.

(119) Omar bin Shemr narrated from Jabir bin Yazid al-Ju'fi that Abu Ja'far Mohammed bin Ali al-Baqir (a) related on the authority of his fathers that Amir ul-Mu'minin (a) delivered a sermon after the death of the Prophet (s) in which he said: O people, there is no honor higher than Islam, no generosity more glorious than God-fearing, no fortress more protective than piety, no interceder more successful than repentance, no treasure more beneficial than knowledge, no power loftier than clemency, no ancestry nobler than good manners, no fatigue humbler than rage, no beauty more handsome than intelligence, no defect worse than untruth, no keeper more preserving than silence, no dress more good-looking than good health, and no absent more imminent than death. ( 171 ) أيّها الناس، إنّه من مشى على وجه الأرض فإنه يصير الى بطنها. والليل والنهار مسرعان في هدم الأعمار، ولكلّ ذي رمق قوّة، ولكلّ حبّة أكلٌ وأنت قوت الموت، وإن من عرف الأيام لن يغفل عن الاستعداد، لن ينجو عن الموت غنيٌّ بماله، ولا فقير لإقلاله. أيها الناس، مَن خاف ربّه كفّ ظلمه، ومن لم يرع في كلامه أظهر هجره، ومن لم يعرف الخير من الشرّ فهو بمنزلة البهيم، ما أصغر المصيبة مع عظم الفاقة غد! وهيهات هيهات! وما تناكرتم إلاّ لما فيكم من المعاصي والذنوب. فما أقرب الراحة من التعب، والبؤس من النعيم. O people, you should know that everyone who walks on the surface of this earth will eventually go beneath it. Night and day are expediting in ruining the ages. Every breath of life has a provision and every seed has an eater. You are the food of death. He who realizes the (vicissitudes of) time truly will not bypass readiness. Neither the wealth of the rich nor will the poverty of the poor save them from death. O people, he who fears his Lord will stop his wrongdoings. Anyone who does not care for his wording will cause his raving to appear. He who cannot distinguish good from evil is as same as an animal. The worldly misfortunes are so scanty if compared with the huge neediness of tomorrow. Your enmity is surely the reason of your much commitment of sins and many acts of disobedience to Allah. Rest is very close to fatigue, and misery is very close to bliss. ( 172 ) وما شرّ بشرّ بعده الجنّة، وما خير بخير بعده النّار، وكلّ نعيم دون الجنّة محقور، وكلّ بلاء دون النار عافية. (120) وفي رواية إسماعيل بن مسلم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاث أخافهن على اُمّتي من بعدي: الضّلالة بعد الهدى، ومضلاّت الفتن، وشهوة البطن والفرج. (121) ومرّ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بقوم يتشائلون حجراً فقال: ما هذا وما يدعوكم إليه؟ قالوا: لنعرف أشدّنا وأقوانا. قال: أفلا أدلّكم على أشدّكم وأقواكم؟ قالوا: بلى يا رسول الله. Any evil that is followed by Paradise is not a true evil, and any welfare that is followed by Hell is not a true welfare. Every comfort other than Paradise is valueless, and every misfortune other than Hell is a good health.150 (120) Ismaeel bin Muslim related that the Prophet (s) said: For my umma, I am only afraid of three things-deviation after the pursuance of the right guidance, the misleading seditions, and the food and the sexual appetites.151 (121) One day, the Prophet (s) saw some people trying to roll a rock as a competition of power. He (s) asked them about that game. They answered that it was a competition to identify the most powerful. He asked: "May I identify the most powerful among you?" "Yes, you may, Allah's Messenger," they answered. ____________ 150.

(122) روى الحسن بن محبوب، عن أبي ولاّد الحنّاط قال: سألت أبا عبد الله الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام عن قول الله عزّ وجلّ: (وَبِالْوَالِدِيْنِ إحْسَاناً) ما هذا الإحسان؟ فقال: الإحسان أن تحسن صحبتهما، وأن لا يكلّفا أن يسألاك عن شيئاً ممّا يحتاجان إليه إن كانا مستغنين، إنّ الله عزّ وجلّ يقول: (لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ). He (s) said: The most powerful of you are those whose satisfaction does not lead them to the commitment of sins or the wrong, whose displeasure does not take them out of the right, and whose ability does not lead them to seize what is not theirs.152 (Or "what is not rightful for them to seize" according to other ways of narration)153 (122) Al-Hasan bin Mahboub narrated that Abu Wallad al-Hennat said: I asked Abu Abdullah Ja'far bin Mohammed as-Sadiq (a) about the sort of kindness that is mentioned in Allah's saying, "You must be kind to your parents." (17:23) He answered: The kindness to the parents (that is intended in the previous Quranic text) is to treat them properly and not let them ask you to settle any of their needs even if they can cover all of their needs sufficiently. Allah says: "You can never have extended virtue and righteousness unless you spend part of what you dearly love for the cause of Allah." (3:92) ____________ 152.

(123) روى الحسن بن محبوب، عن مالك بن عطيّة، عن عابد الأحمسي، عن أبي حمزة الثّمالي قال: قال زين العابدين عليّ بن الحسين عليهم السلام: Regarding Allah's saying, "If either or both of your parents should become advanced in age, do not express to them words which show your slightest disappointment," this includes the situations when they weary you. "Never yell at them," means even if they beat you. "But always speak to them with kindness." The kind speaking to them is to say: Allah may forgive you both. "Be humble and merciful towards them," means that you should never look at them sharply. You should look at them with the looks of mercy and compassion. You should never raise your voice above theirs, you should not raise your hand above theirs, and you should not precede them.154 (123) Al-Hasan bin Mahboub narrated from Malik bin Atiyya from Aabid al-Ahmasi from Abu Hamza at-Themali that Zayn ul-Aabidin Ali bin al-Hussein (a) said: ____________ 154.

(124) روى الحسن بن محبوب، عن سعد بن أبي خلف، عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام انّه قال لبعض ولده: يا بُنيّ، إيّاك أن يراك الله عزّ وجلّ في معصية نهاك عنها، وإيّاك أن يفقدك الله تعالى عند طاعة أمرك بها، وعليك بالجدّ، ولا تخرجنّ نفسك عن التقصير من عبادة الله، فإنَّ الله عزّ وجلّ لا يعبد حقّ عبادته. Certainly, the most favorable of you to Allah are the best good-doers, the gainers of the best rewards of Allah are the most desirous for gaining what He has in possession, the safest from Allah's punishment are the most fearful of Him, the closest to Allah are the best well-mannered, the most pleased in the sight of Allah are the most generous towards the dependants, and the best of you in the sight of Allah are the most God-fearing.155 (124) Al-Hasan bin Mahboub narrated from Sa'd bin Abi Khalaf that Abu al-Hasan Musa bin Ja'far (al-Kadhim) (a) said to one of his sons: O son, let not Allah see you committing an act of disobedience against which He warned you, and let Him not miss you in an act of obedience to Him of which He ordered you. Keep serious and do not convince yourself that you are worshipping and obeying Allah perfectly, because no one can achieve perfection in the fields of worshipping Allah. ____________ 155.

Beware of joking because it extinguishes the illumination of your faith and disgraces your personality. Beware of indolence and laziness because they both prevent you from receiving your shares of the pleasures of this world and the world to come.156 (125) Ali bin al-Hakam narrated from Husham bin Salem that Ja'far bin Mohammed as-Sadiq (a) said: This world is seeking and is sought. He who seeks it will be sought by death, which will take him out of it. He who seeks the world to come will be sought by this world to give him his (decided) shares of sustenance.157 (126) Imam as-Sadiq (a) said: To see the enemy plunge in the acts of disobedience to Allah is a sufficient victory that Allah bestows upon a believer.158 (127) The Prophet (s) said: Take the initiative to the gardens of Paradise. ____________ 156.

For him whoever fears Allah, Allah will make everything fear him, and will make him who does not fear Him fear everything. Allah accepts the few deeds of those who satisfy themselves with few earnings from Him. For those who have the courage of seeking legal earnings, their provisions will be easily obtainable and their dependants will be luxurious. For those who abstain from pursuing the worldly pleasures, Allah will fix wisdom in their minds, make it glide on their tongues, show them the malady and remedy of the worldly defects, and move them from this world to the Eternal Abode safely.161 (130) Abu Hamza ath-Themali narrated that Abu Ja'far (Imam al-Baqir) (a) said: ____________ 161.
