Arabic text

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كَانَ يَقُولُ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَخْلَصَ لله الْعِبَادَةَ وَالدُّعَاءَ وَلَمْ يَشْغَلْ قَلْبَهُ بِمَا تَرَى عَيْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَنْسَ ذِكْرَ الله بِمَا تَسْمَعُ أُذُنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَحْزُنْ صَدْرَهُ بِمَا أُعْطِيَ غَيْرُهُ.

Translation

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from abu al-Hassan al-Rada (a.s.) who has said the following: “Amir al Mu’minin (a.s.) has said, ‘Glad tidings to those who maintain sincerity in worshipping Allah and in prayer to Him. Whatever they see does not occupy their heart. Whatever they hear does not make them forget to speak of Allah and they do not feel depressed because of what is given to others.’”
