And the greetings be to you and Mercy of Allah azwj and His azwj Blessings. [19] Time Management of Rasool Allah -saww : In a lengthy Hadith, it has been narrated: قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع سَأَلْتُ أَبِي ع عَنْ مَدْخَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ كَانَ دُخُولُهُ لِنَفْسِهِ مَأْذُوناً لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا أَوَى إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ جَزَّأَ دُخُولَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ جُزْءٍ لِلَّهِ وَ جُزْءٍ لِأَهْلِهِ وَ جُزْءٍ لِنَفْسِهِ Imam Al-Husayn -asws said: ‘I -asws asked my -asws father -asws about the entry of Rasool-Allah -saww (coming home at the end of the day), so Imam Ali -asws said: ‘His -saww entry for himself -saww (at home) was permitted to him in that, so when Rasool Allah -saww retired to his -saww home, he -saww divided his -saww entry into three segments – a portion for Allah -azwj (worshipping) and a portion for his -saww family, and a portion for himself -saww (rest).
An extract. [20] Poverty and the sufficiency: وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع الْفَقْرُ يُخْرِسُ الْفَطِنَ عَنْ حُجَّتِهِ وَ الْمُقِلُّ غَرِيبٌ فِي بَلَدِهِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ ذَكَرَ الْمَعَادَ وَ عَمِلَ لِلْحِسَابِ وَ قَنِعَ بِالْكَفَافِ And Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘ The poverty mutes the intelligent one from his argument , and the destitute is a stranger is his own city. Beatitude is for one who remembers the Hereafter and works for the Reckoning and is contented with the sufficient!
الْغِنَى فِي الْغُرْبَةِ وَطَنٌ وَ الْفَقْرُ فِي الْوَطَنِ غُرْبَةٌ الْقَنَاعَةُ مَالٌ لَا يَنْفَدُ الْفَقْرُ الْمَوْتُ الْأَكْبَرُ مَا أَحْسَنَ تَوَاضُعَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ طَلَباً لِمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ تِيهُ الْفُقَرَاءِ عَلَى الْأَغْنِيَاءِ اتِّكَالًا عَلَى اللَّهِ (Being with) the riches in the strange land is (like one is in) a homeland, and (being with) the poverty in the homeland is (like one is in) a strange land. The contentedness is a wealth not to deplete.
The poverty is the greatest death. How excellent is the humbleness of the rich to the poor ones seeking what is in the Presence of Allah -azwj ! And more excellent than it is wandering of the poor to the rich relying upon Allah -azwj ’’. [21] – وَ قَالَ ص اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مِسْكِيناً وَ أَمِتْنِي مِسْكِيناً وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَسَاكِينِ And he -saww said: ‘O Allah -azwj ! Make me -saww live as poor and Cause me -saww to dies as poor, and Resurrect me -sa in the group of the poor’’.
