إِنَّ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ إِضَاعَةَ الزَّادِ مَا أَصْغَرَ...
إِنَّ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ إِضَاعَةَ الزَّادِ مَا أَصْغَرَ الْمُصِيبَةَ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْفَاقَةِ غَداً هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ وَ مَا تَنَاكَرْتُمْ إِلَّا لِمَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي وَ الذُّنُوبِ فَمَا أَقْرَبَ الرَّاحَةَ مِنَ التَّعَبِ وَ الْبُؤْسَ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ وَ مَا شَرٌّ بِشَرٍّ بَعْدَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَا خَيْرٌ بِخَيْرٍ بَعْدَهُ النَّارُ وَ كُلُّ نَعِيمٍ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ مَحْقُورٌ وَ كُلُّ بَلَاءٍ دُونَ النَّارِ عَافِيَةٌ Indeed the corruption destroys the provisions (of the Hereafter).
How little is the difficulty (of today) as compared with the great destitution tomorrow. Far it is! Far it is from being compared. And what is your antipathy due to, except for your indulgence in acts of disobedience and the sins. So how close is the rest to the tiredness, and the misery from the Bounties. The hardships are not painful after which there is the Paradise, and the goodtime is not the (lasting) comfort after which there is the Fire.
And every bounty apart from the Paradise is insignificant, and every affliction apart from the Fire is healthy. وَ عِنْدَ تَصْحِيحِ الضَّمَائِرِ تُبْدُو الْكَبَائِرُ تَصْفِيَةُ الْعَمَلِ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَ تَخْلِيصُ النِّيَّةِ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الْعَامِلِينَ مِنْ طُولِ الْجِهَادِ هَيْهَاتَ لَوْ لَا التُّقَى لَكُنْتُ أَدْهَى الْعَرَبِ And turning away from correcting the consciences leads to the major sins.
Purification of the deeds is more difficult than the deed itself, and the sincerity of the intention from the corruption is more difficulty upon the performer of the deed than the lengthy Jihaad. Far it is! Had it not been for the piety I -asws would have been the shrewdest of the Arabs.
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَعَدَ نَبِيَّهُ مُحَمَّداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْوَسِيلَةَ وَ وَعْدُهُ الْحَقُّ وَ لَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْوَسِيلَةَ عَلَى دَرَجِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ ذِرْوَةِ ذَوَائِبِ الزُّلْفَةِ وَ نِهَايَةِ غَايَةِ الْأُمْنِيَّةِ لَهَا أَلْفُ مِرْقَاةٍ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِرْقَاةِ إِلَى الْمِرْقَاةِ حُضْرُ الْفَرَسِ الْجَوَادِ مِائَةَ عَامٍ وَ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ مِرْقَاةِ دُرَّةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ جَوْهَرَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ زَبَرْجَدَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ لُؤْلُؤَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ يَاقُوتَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ زُمُرُّدَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ مَرْجَانَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ كَافُورٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ عَنْبَرٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ يَلَنْجُوجٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ ذَهَبٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ غَمَامٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ هَوَاءٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ نُورٍ قَدْ أَنَافَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ الْجِنَانِ O you people!
