Arabic text

10- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَاللهِ إِنَّا لَنَطْلُبُ الدُّنْيَا وَنُحِبُّ أَنْ نُؤْتَاهَا فَقَالَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ بِهَا مَا ذَا قَالَ أَعُودُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِي وَعِيَالِي وَأَصِلُ بِهَا وَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِهَا وَأَحُجُّ وَأَعْتَمِرُ فَقَالَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لَيْسَ هَذَا طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا هَذَا طَلَبُ الآخِرَةِ.

Translation

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim from ‘Abd Allah ibn abu Ya’fur who has said the following: “A man once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘We, by Allah, ask for the worldly things and we love to receive worldly gains.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What do you want to do with it?’ He replied, ‘I like to improve my own conditions, the conditions of my family, maintain good relations with others, give charity, perform Hajj and al-‘Umrah.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This is not asking for worldly things. It is asking for success in the hereafter.’”
