It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from certain individuals of his people in a marfuâ manner from Abu âAbdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: âHow many are those who seek worldly gains but can not achieve them and how many are those who had achieved worldly gains but have already departed them!
Do not allow your seeking worldly gains prevent you from good deeds. You must request worldly gains from the One Who grants them and is the owner of the same. How many were those who were greedy of the worldly gains that were destroyed and whose preoccupation in them prevented them from seeking the gains of the next life until their lives finished and the appointed time approached them!
âAbu âAbd Allah (a.s.) has said, âA prisoner is one whose worldly affairs imprison him so he cannot do anything for his next life.ââ رÙÙع - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (MirʾÄt al-Ê¿UqÅ«l fÄ« Sharḥ AkhbÄr Äl al-RasÅ«l (1/363))
