9ـ مَرَّ رسولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) بقَومٍ يرفَعونَ حَجَراً، فقالَ: ما هذا؟ قالوا: نعرِفُ بذلكَ أشَدَّنا وأقوانا ، فقالَ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): ألا اُخبِرُكُم بأشَدِّكُم وأقواكُم ؟ قالوا: بلى يا رسولَ اللّهِ . قالَ: أشَدُّكُم وأقواكُمُ الذي إذا رَضِيَ لَم يُدخِلْهُ رِضاهُ في إثمٍ ولا باطِلٍ ، وإذا سَخِطَ لَم يُخرِجْهُ سَخَطُهُ مِن قَولِ الحَقِّ ، وإذا قَدَرَ لَم يَتَعاطَ ما لَيسَ لَهُ بِحَقٍّ. |
