6ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ قَوماً أتَوا نَبيّاً فقالُوا: اُدعُ لَنا ربَّكَ يَرفَعْ عنّا المَوتَ، فدَعا لَهُم فَرفَعَ اللّهُ تباركَ وتعالى عنهُمُ المَوتَ، وكَثُروا حتّى ضاقَت بهِمُ المَنازِلُ وكَثُرَ النَّسلُ، وكانَ الرّجُلُ يُصبِحُ فيَحتاجُ أن يُطعِمَ أباهُ واُمَّهُ وجَدَّهُ وجَدَّ جدِّهِ ويُرضِيَهُم ويَتعاهَدَهُم، فشُغِلوا عن طَلَبِ المَعاشِ، فأتَوهُ فقالوا: سَلْ ربَّكَ أن يَرُدَّنا إلى آجالِنا الّتي كُنّا علَيها، فسَألَ ربَّهُ عَزَّوجلَّ فَرَدَّهُم إلى آجالِهِم . |
| 6– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A group of the people of the past said to their prophet, ‘Pray to your Lord to take death away from us. He did so and Allah took death away from them. They became so many that their houses became crowded and their offspring became too many. A man had to feed his father, mother and grandfather, and his great grandfather, and they had to cleanse and take care of them. They became too occupied to seek a livelihood, so they said, ‘Ask your Lord to return us to our previous state. So, their Prophet asked his Lord and He returned them to their original state.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 14, p. 463, no. 30] |
