Amir Al-Momineen -asws Says: نَهْجُ الْبَلَاغَةِ، قَالَ ع مَرَارَةُ الدُّنْيَا حَلَاوَةُ الْآخِرَةِ وَ حَلَاوَةُ الدُّنْيَا مَرَارَةُ الْآخِرَةِ.
(The book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ – ‘He -asws (Amir Al-Momineen -asws ) said: ‘Bitterness of the world is sweetness of the Hereafter, and sweetness of the world is bitterness of the Hereafter’’.
[1] وَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: لَمَّا أُصِيبَ عَلِيٌّ ع بَعَثَنِي الْحَسَنُ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ هُوَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ الْكِتَابَ قَالَ يَا لَهَا مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ مَا أَعْظَمَهَا مَعَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ مَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْكُمْ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصَابِي فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُصَابَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهَا.
And from Abdullah Bin Al Waleed, by his chain, said, ‘When Ali -asws was killed, Al-Hassan -asws sent me to Al-Husayn -asws , and he -asws was at Al-Madain. When he -asws read the letter, he -asws said: ‘O the calamity of it!
How mighty it is, along with that Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘One from you who is afflicted with a calamity, let him remember my -saww calamity, for he will never be afflicted with a calamity mightier than it!’’ [2] وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ قَصُرَ عُمُرُهُ كَانَتْ مُصِيبَتُهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ تَوَاتَرَتْ مَصَائِبُهُ وَ رَأَى فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ أَحِبَّائِهِ مَا يَسُوؤُهُ.
And Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘One whose lifespan is short, his calamities would be within himself, and one whose lifespan is prolonged, his calamities would be recurring, and he would see in himself and his loved ones what would worsen him’’.
[3] وَ قَالَ زَيْنُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع مَا أُصِيبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِمُصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا صَلَّى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ وَ تَصَدَّقَ عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً وَ صَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ And Zayn Al-Abideen -asws said: ‘No calamity afflicted Amir Al-Momineen -asws except he -asws prayed during that day a thousand Cycles Salat, and he -asws gave in charity to sixty poor ones, and fasted three months’.
