مع، معاني الأخبار أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: سَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَنْ جَبْرَئِيلَ مَا التَّوَكُّلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ (The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Al Barqy, from his father, raising it, said, ‘The Prophet -saww asked Jibraeel -as : ‘What is ‘التَّوَكُّلُ’ the reliance upon Allah -azwj ?’ فَقَالَ الْعِلْمُ بِأَنَّ الْمَخْلُوقَ لَا يَضُرُّ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَ لَا يُعْطِي وَ لَا يَمْنَعُ وَ اسْتِعْمَالُ الْيَأْسِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ كَذَلِكَ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ لِأَحَدٍ سِوَى اللَّهِ وَ لَمْ يَرْجُ وَ لَمْ يَخَفْ سِوَى اللَّهِ وَ لَمْ يَطْمَعْ فِي أَحَدٍ سِوَى اللَّهِ فَهَذَا هُوَ التَّوَكُّلُ الْخَبَرَ.
He -as said: ‘The knowledge that the created beings can neither harm nor benefit, nor give nor prevent, and utilising the despair from the people. So, when the servant was to be like that, he will not work for anyone besides Allah -azwj , and he will not hope and will not fear besides Allah -azwj and will not covet in anyone besides Allah -azwj . So this, it is ‘التَّوَكُّلُ’ the reliance’ – the Hadeeth’’.
[1] ضا، فقه الرضا عليه السلام أَرْوِي عَنِ الْعَالِمِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ فَلْيَكُنْ وَاثِقاً بِمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ. (The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza -asws ’, may the greetings be upon him -asws – It is reported from the Scholar -asws having said: ‘One who wants to be richest of the people, let him be trusting in what is in the Presence of Allah -azwj , Majestic and Mighty’’.
[2] – وَ رُوِيَ فَلْيَكُنْ بِمَا فِي يَدِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَقَ مِنْهُ مِمَّا فِي يَدَيْهِ. And it is reported: ‘Let him be more trusting with what is in the Hand of Allah -azwj than he is from what is in his own hands’’. [3] – وَ أَرْوِي مَنْ قَنِعَ شَبِعَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ لَمْ يَشْبَعْ.
