Shaykh Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-Kulaynī · The Essence of Belief and Certainty
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ إِذْ لَقِيَهُ رَكْبٌ فَقَالُوا السَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ الله فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ مُؤْمِنُونَ يَا رَسُولَ الله قَالَ فَمَا حَقِيقَةُ إِيمَانِكُمْ قَالُوا الرِّضَا بِقَضَاءِ الله وَالتَّفْوِيضُ إِلَى الله وَالتَّسْلِيمُ لأمْرِ الله فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) عُلَمَاءُ حُكَمَاءُ كَادُوا أَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ أَنْبِيَاءَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ فَلا تَبْنُوا مَا لا تَسْكُنُونَ وَلا تَجْمَعُوا مَا لا تَأْكُلُونَ وَاتَّقُوا الله الَّذِي إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Bazi’ from Muhammad ibn ‘Azafir from his father from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “During one of the journeys of the Messenger of Allah a group of people who were riding came to meet him. They said, ‘Salute to you O Messenger of Allah.’ He asked, ‘Who are you?’ They replied, ‘We are believers, O Messenger of Allah.’ He then asked, ‘What is the essence of your belief?’ They replied, ‘It is to agree with the decision of Allah, allow Him be the person in charge of one’s affairs and submit to the command of Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘They are scholars and people of wisdom who for their wisdom can almost be prophets. If what you say is true then do not build that which you do not use as dwelling, do not accumulate what you do not eat and be pious before Allah to whom you will return.’”
