As spirits are infatuated with properties...
As spirits are infatuated with properties, fond of collecting and treasuring it, it is appropriate for the enlightened aware believer not to be cheated by its brightness, lured by its attractions, and he has to take lesson from those attracted and cheated by it while they are deprived of the reward of the next life, they are bankrupt in every additional property more than their necessary needs as they are trusty treasurers who strive and suffer in saving it, then they leave it behind like a sweet food for inheritors, so they are hold responsible for it in the hereafter while their sons spend it and enjoy it as they like”[^43] In this way the Islamic ideology uproots the sources of fear from poverty from spirits and makes man work to ensure the necessities of his honorable living.
DISEASE ERADICATES SIN…ENTAILS REWARD: From another side the Islamic ideology mollifies Man’s constant fear of caching diseased by insisting on an obvious truth, it is that every body is liable to illness. Imam Ali (A.S.) says “one should not have confidence in two attributes: health and wealth, you may find him healthy, suddenly he becomes ill; and you may find him rich suddenly he becomes poor”[^44] Their hadeeths also emphasized that disease eradicates sins.
Imam Alsajjad (A.S.) says, “when a believer fevers one time his sins scatter like the leaves of tree” [^45] And it related from Abbiabdullah (A.S.) that he said: headache for a night lays down every sin except great sins” [^46] In addition disease entails abundant reward and that enlightens its severity to the soul.
The prophet (S.W.A) says: “I wonder at the believer and his grief of illness had he known his reward due to illness, he would have liked to be ill continually till he meets his Lord” [^47] Imam Reza specifies the philosophy of illness by his saying: “illness to the believer is purification and mercy, and to the infidel a chastisement and curse, believer is still suffering from disease till he is freed from sins completely”[^48] We return to say that illness has not been made by Allah in vain, rather He made it an examine the human being and know his patience to forbear calamities.
So He examined by illness His prophets the pious servants, Ayyoub’s (A.S.) examination -as t is known-had been in his body: “None of his organs remained sound except his heart and tongue by which he glorifies Allah, in all that he has been tolerant and contented, glorifying Allah day and night morning and evening.
