7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ مِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ شِدَّةَ الْخَوْفِ مِنَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ الله إِنَّما يَخْشَى الله مِنْ عِبادِهِ الْعُلَماءُ وَقَالَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ فَلا تَخْشَوُا النَّاسَ وَاخْشَوْنِ وَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ الله يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ حُبَّ الشَّرَفِ وَالذِّكْرِ لا يَكُونَانِ فِي قَلْبِ الْخَائِفِ الرَّاهِبِ.

Translation

7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from certain individuals of his people from Salih ibn Hamza in a mafu’ manner from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “To have intense fear of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is part of worship. Allah has said, ‘Of the servants of Allah who fear Him are the scholars.’ (35:28) Allah, Whose praise is great, has said, ‘Do not fear people but fear Me.’ (5:44) Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, has said, ‘For those who fear Allah, He finds a way out (in their difficulties).’ (65:2) “The narrator has said that Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) then said, ‘Love for fame and popularity (domination) will not exist in the heart of one who has fear and is concerned (about his relation toward Allah).’”
