[16] Amir ul-Momineen -asws Advised Nubata to Fear Allah -azwj : الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بِسْطَامَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَ لِوالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ فَقَالَ الْوَالِدَانِ اللَّذَانِ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا الشُّكْرَ هُمَا اللَّذَانِ وَلَدَا الْعِلْمَ وَ وَرِثَا الْحُكْمَ وَ أُمِرَ النَّاسُ بِطَاعَتِهِمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ فَمَصِيرُ الْعِبَادِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْوَالِدَانِ Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Bastam Bin Murra, from Is’haq Bin Hassan, from Al Haysam Bin Waqid, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Abady, from Sa’d Al Askaf, (It has been narrated) from Al-Asbagh Bin Nubata who asked Amir Al-Momineen -asws about the Words of the Exalted [31:14] Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual journey .
So he -asws said: ‘The two parents from whom Allah -azwj Obligated the gratefulness, they are those who produced the knowledge and gave the wisdom as an inheritance, and the people are Commanded with obeying them. Then Allah -azwj Said to Me is the eventual journey . So the journey of the servants is to Allah -azwj , and the pointers upon that are the two parents….
فَقَالَ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ لَا تَعْصُوا الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَإِنَّ رِضَاهُمَا رِضَا اللَّهِ وَ سَخَطَهُمَا سَخَطَ اللَّهِ . So he -asws said: ‘To Allah -azwj , then to us -asws , therefore fear Allah -azwj (and) do not disobey the two (spiritual) parents (Muhammad -saww and Ali -asws ) , for their -asws pleasure is the Pleasure of Allah -azwj , and their -asws anger is the Anger of Allah -azwj ’.
(An extract) [17] No hope of Goodness without Fear of Allah -azwj : عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَلَا يُرْجَ خَيْرُهُ مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَحِ مِنَ الْعَيْبِ وَ يَخْشَ اللَّهَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ يَرْعَوِ عِنْدَ الشَّيْبِ.
