وَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعِ السُّمْعَةَ يُسَمِّعِ اللَّهُ بِهِ...
وَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعِ السُّمْعَةَ يُسَمِّعِ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْكَذِبَةَ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّ الدُّنْيَا يَعْجِزْ عَنْهَا وَ مَنْ يَعْرِفِ الْبَلَاءَ يَصْبِرْ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْهُ يَنْكُلْ وَ الرَّيْبُ كُفْرٌ وَ مَنْ يَسْتَكْبِرْ يَضَعْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ الشَّيْطَانَ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَشْكُرْ يَزِيدُهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَصْبِرْ عَلَى الرَّزِيَّةِ يُعِنْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَحَسْبُهُ اللَّهُ The one who seeks fame (show-off), Allah -azwj makes him to be named as a liar, and the one who loves the world will be frustrated from it.
And the one who recognises the affliction would be patient against it, and the one who does not recognised it will be tortured (during it). And the doubt is disbelief, and the one who is arrogant, Allah -azwj Puts him in his place. And the one who obeys Satan -la disobeys Allah -azwj , and the one who disobeys Allah -azwj is Punished by Allah -azwj . The one who is thankful, Allah -azwj Increases for him, the one who is patient upon a loss is Helped by Allah -azwj .
The one who places reliance upon Allah -azwj , Allah -azwj suffices for him (an extract) . [7] مص، مصباح الشريعة قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع فِي كُلِّ نَفَسٍ مِنْ أَنْفَاسِكَ شُكْرٌ لَازِمٌ لَكَ بَلْ أَلْفٌ وَ أَكْثَرُ وَ أَدْنَى الشُّكْرِ رُؤْيَةُ النِّعْمَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ يَتَعَلَّقُ الْقَلْبُ بِهَا دُونَ اللَّهِ وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا أَعْطَاهُ وَ أَنْ لَا تَعْصِيَهُ بِنِعْمَتِهِ وَ تُخَالِفَهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ نَهْيِهِ بِسَبَبِ نِعْمَتِهِ (The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ – ‘Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘Regarding every breath of your breathing it necessitates you to thank (for it), but a thousand (times) and more, and the least thanks of seeing the bounty from Allah ‑azwj from without there being a reason is to attach the heart with it, besides Allah -azwj , and the satisfaction with what He -azwj has Given, and that you should not disobey Him -azwj with His -azwj (Given) bounty, and opposing Him -azwj with something from His -azwj Command and His -azwj Prohibition by a cause of His -azwj bounty.
