Arabic text

17 - وبالإسناد الأول عن علي بن مهزيار، عن الحسن بن علي، عن يونس بن يعقوب، عن شعيب العقرقوفي قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد صلوات الله عليهما: سمعت من يروي عن أبي ذر إنه كان يقول: ثلاثة يبغضها الناس وأنا أحبها: أحب الموت، وأحب الفقر، وأحب البلاء. فقال عليه السلام: إن هذا ليس على ما يذهب، إنما عني بقوله أحب الموت أن الموت في طاعة الله أحب إلي من الحياة في معصية الله، والبلاء في طاعة الله أحب إلي من الصحة في معصية الله، والفقر في طاعة الله أحب إلي من الغنى في معصية الله .

Translation

17. And with the preceding chains of narration, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali from Yunus ibn Ya’qoob, from Shoayb al-Aqrqoofi, who said: I related to Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon them both, that I heard someone report from Abu Dharr who used to say: "People hate three things, while I love them. I love death, and I love poverty and I love ordeals." He, peace upon him, said: "That is not what he meant. When he said he preferred death, he meant to say that death in the way of Allah was more likeable to him then life in sin; and ordeal in the way of Allah was more agreeable to him then health in sin; and poverty in the way of Allah was more loveable to him than plenty in sin."
