And how can the man reckon his own self?’ He -asws said: ‘When it is morning, then evening, he refers to himself and he says, ‘O self! This day has passed upon you, it would not be returning to you, ever, and Allah -azwj the Exalted will be Questioning you about it. What did you consume it in? So, what is that which you did during it? Did you Mention Allah -azwj or praise Him -azwj ? Did you fulfil the needs of a Momin ? Did you relieve any worries from him?
Did you protect his wife and his children in the apparent during his absence? Did you protect him with regards to his opponents after the death? Did you suffice a Momin brother of his honour during his absence? Did you assist a Muslim? What is that which you did during it? Thus, he recalls whatever was from it.
فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ جَرَى مِنْهُ خَيْرٌ، حَمِدَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى، وَ كَبَّرَهُ عَلَى تَوْفِيقِهِ، وَ إِنْ ذَكَرَ مَعْصِيَةً أَوْ تَقْصِيراً، اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى، وَ عَزَمَ عَلَى تَرْكِ مُعَاوَدَتِهِ، وَ مَحَا ذَلِكَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ بِتَجْدِيدِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ، وَ عَرَضَ بَيْعَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، وَ قَبُولَهُ لَهَا، وَ إِعَادَةَ لَعْنِ أَعْدَائِهِ وَ شَانِئِيهِ وَ دَافِعِيهِ عَنْ حَقِّهِ So if he recalls that he has done good from it, he should praise Allah -azwj the Exalted, and exclaim His -azwj Greatness upon His -azwj Inclining him (for it).
