Ahamd Bin Al-Hassan Al-Qatan narrated to us, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Sakary, from Muhammad Bin Zakariyya Al-Jowhary, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Amarat, from his father who said, ‘Al-Sadiq Ja’far -asws Bin Muhammad -asws said: ‘ The temporal wishes of the people in the world are four – The riches, and the relaxation (having fun), and less worries, and the honour.
So, as for the riches, so it exists in the contentment, so the one who seeks it in the abundance of the wealth would not find it; And as for the relaxation, so it exists in the lightness of the load (burden), so the one who seeks in a heavy, would not find it; And as for the less worries, so it exists in the less occupations (engagements) , so the one who seeks it with abundant (occupations), would not find it; And as for the honour, so it exists in serving the Creator, so the one who seeks it in serving the people would not find it’.
