He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘Love for fame and to be mentioned (popularity/dominance) will not exist in the heart of the one who is fearful (of Allah -azwj )’.
[10] مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِمَّا حُفِظَ مِنْ خُطَبِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ لَكُمْ مَعَالِمَ فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى مَعَالِمِكُمْ وَ إِنَّ لَكُمْ نِهَايَةً فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى نِهَايَتِكُمْ Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Hamza Bin Humran who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘From the preserved sermons of the Prophet -saww is that he -saww said: ‘O you people!
For you there are teachers, so end up to your teachers, and that for you are terminals, so end up to your terminals. أَلَا إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ مَخَافَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ أَجَلٍ قَدْ مَضَى لَا يَدْرِي مَا اللَّهُ صَانِعٌ فِيهِ وَ بَيْنَ أَجَلٍ قَدْ بَقِيَ لَا يَدْرِي مَا اللَّهُ قَاضٍ فِيهِ Indeed!
The Believer acts between the two fears – between a term which has passed, not knowing what Allah -azwj would be Doing with regards to it, and between a term which remains (the future), not knowing what Allah -azwj has Judged with regards to it.
Thus, let the believing servant take from his own soul for himself, and from his world for his Hereafter, and (should act) during the youth before the old age, and during the lifetime before the death, for by the One -azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad -saww , there will not be an effort (time for deeds) after the world, and there will not be a house except for the Paradise and the Hell’.
