From Aamir Bin Jaza’at who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘Fear Allah -azwj and do not be extravagant nor be stingy, but be in between that. The squandering is from the waste, and Allah -azwj Says: and do not squander wastefully [17:26] . Surely, Allah -azwj does not Punish upon the economising ’.

[21] عن بشر بن مروان، قال: دخلنا على أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) فدعا برطب، فأقبل بعضهم يرمي بالنوى، قال: فأمسك أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام) يده، فقال: «لا تفعل، إن هذا من التبذير، و إن الله لا يحب الفساد». From Bashr Bin Marwan who said, ‘We went over to Abu Abdullah -asws , and he -asws called for the dates. So one of them went on to throw away the cores, but Abu Abdullah -asws withheld his hand and he -asws said: ‘Do not do so.

This is from the squandering, and surely Allah -azwj does not Love the spoilage’’. [22] The esoteric meanings of squandering عنه، عن أبيه، عن علي بن حديد، عن منصور بن يونس، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) في قول الله: ” ولا تبذر تبذيرا ” قال: لا تبذروا ولاية علي (ع). From him, from his father, from Ali Bin hadeed, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Is’haq Bin Amaar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws regarding the Words of Allah -azwj : and do not squander wastefully [17:26] .

He -asws said: ‘Do not squander wastefully the Wilayah of Ali -asws ’. [23] قُلْتُ وَ نَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ أَعْمى قَالَ يَعْنِي أَعْمَى الْبَصَرِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَعْمَى الْقَلْبِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَنْ وَلَايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ وَ هُوَ مُتَحَيِّرٌ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمى وَ قَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِيراً قالَ كَذلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آياتُنا فَنَسِيتَها قَالَ الْآيَاتُ الْأَئِمَّةُ ( عليهم السلام ) فَنَسِيتَها وَ كَذلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسى يَعْنِي تَرَكْتَهَا وَ كَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُتْرَكُ فِي النَّارِ كَمَا تَرَكْتَ الْأَئِمَّةَ ( عليهم السلام ) فَلَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَهُمْ وَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَهُمْ I said, ‘ and We will Resurrect him on the Day of Judgement, blind ?’ He -asws said: ‘It Means blind of vision in the Hereafter, and blind of the heart in the world from the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen -asws .

And he would be confused on the Day of Judgment [20:125] He shall say: Lord! Why have You Resurrected me blind and I was a seeing one beforehand? [20:126] He will say: Even so, Our Signs came to you . The Signs are the Imams -asws , but you forgot them; even thus shall you be Forsaken this Day .
