The workers should not be relying upon their deeds and even if these are excellent, nor should the sinners be despairing from My -azwj Forgiveness of their sins, and even if these are a lot, but let them be trusting with My -azwj Mercy and let them be hoping for My -azwj Face, and let them be reassured to My -azwj goodly Consideration, and that is because I -azwj Know My ‑azwj servants with what would correct them and I -azwj am Subtle, Informed of them!”’ [23] (An extract).

He -asws said: ‘That treasure was a tablet of gold wherein was written: ‘In the Name of Allah -azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! There is no god except Allah ‑azwj , Muhammad -saww is Rasool -saww of Allah -azwj ! عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْمَوْتَ حَقٌّ كَيْفَ يَفْرَحُ عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِالْقَدَرِ كَيْفَ يَحْزَنُ عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَذْكُرُ النَّارَ كَيْفَ يَضْحَكُ عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَرَى الدُّنْيَا وَ تَصَرُّفَ أَهْلِهَا حَالًا بَعْدَ حَالٍ كَيْفَ يَطْمَئِنُّ إِلَيْهَا.
I am surprised at the one who knows that the death is true, how come he rejoices! I am surprised at the one believing in the pre-Determination, how come he grieves! I am surprised at the one who remembers the Fire, how come he laughs!
I am surprised at the one who sees the world and the replacement of its people, a situation after a situation, how come he is reassured to it!’’ [24] التمحيص عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا أُبَالِي أَصْبَحْتُ فَقِيراً أَوْ مَرِيضاً أَوْ غَنِيّاً لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ لَا أَفْعَلُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ إِلَّا مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ.
