Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The Second Assembly, which is Tuesday, Seven Days Remaining from Rajab, 367 AH.
حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن محمد بن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، قال: حدثني جماعة من مشايخنا، منهم أبان بن عثمان، وهشام بن سالم، ومحمد بن حمران، عن الصادق (عليه السلام)، قال: عجبت لمن فزع من أربع كيف لا يفزع إلى أربع: عجبت لمن خاف العدو كيف لا يفزع إلى قوله تعالى: (حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل) (1)! فإني سمعت الله عز وجل يقول بعقبها: (فانقلبوا بنعمة من الله وفضل لم يمسسهم سوء) (2)، وعجبت لمن اغتم كيف لا يفزع إلى قوله تعالى: (لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إنى كنت من الظالمين) (3)! فإني سمعت الله عز وجل يقول بعقبها: (فاستجبنا له ونجيناه من الغم وكذلك ننجي المؤمنين) (4)، وعجبت لمن مكر به كيف لا يفزع إلى قوله تعالى: (وأفوض أمرى إلى الله إن الله بصير بالعباد) (5)! فإني سمعت الله عز وجل يقول بعقبها: (فوقاه الله سيئات ما مكروا) (6)، وعجبت لمن أراد الدنيا وزينتها كيف لا يفزع إلى قوله تعالى: (ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله) (7)! فإني سمعت الله عز وجل يقول بعقبها: (إن ترن أنا أقل منك مالا وولدا * فعسى ربى أن يؤتين خيرا من جنتك) (8) وعسى موجبة (9).
Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Masrur (rh) narrated to us. He said: Al-Husayn b. Muhammad b. `Amer narrated to us from his uncle `Abdullah b. `Amer from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr. He said: A group of our shaykhs narrated to me, from whom were Aban b. `Uthman, Hisham b. Salim, and Muhammad b. Humran from Al-Sadiq (as). He said: I am astonished at him who fears four things yet does not seek refuge in four [other] things. (1) I am astonished at him who is afraid of the enemy: why does he not take his concern to His saying, “Allah is sufficient for us, for He is the best trustee” (3:173)? I have heard Allah follow it up with “So they returned by the bounty and the grace of Allah – no harm touched them.” (3:174) (2) I am astonished at him who is anguished: why does he not take his concern to His saying: “There is no god except You, may You be glorified: surely, I was from the wrongdoers.” (21:87)? I have heard Allah follow it up with “We answered his prayer and rescued him from anguish – and like that, We rescue the believers.” (21:88) (3) I am astonished at him who is plotted against: why does he not take his concern to His saying, “I delegate my affairs to Allah. Surely, Allah watches over His servants.” (40:44)? I have heard Allah follow it up with “Allah protected him from their evil plots” (40:45). (4) I am astonished at him who wants this world and its frills: why does he not take his concern to His saying, “Whatever Allah wills; there is no power except by Allah.” (18:39)? I have heard Allah follow it up with “Although you see that I have less wealth and fewer sons than you, perhaps my Lord will grant me something better than your garden.” (18:38-39) – and this “perhaps” was delivered.
