قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص السَّخِيُّ بِمَا مَلَكَ وَ أَرَادَ بِهِ...
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص السَّخِيُّ بِمَا مَلَكَ وَ أَرَادَ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَ أَمَّا السَّخِيُّ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَحَمَّالُ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَ غَضَبِهِ وَ هُوَ أَبْخَلُ النَّاسِ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَكَيْفَ لِغَيْرِهِ حَيْثُ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَ خَالَفَ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ لَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقالَهُمْ وَ أَثْقالًا مَعَ أَثْقالِهِمْ The Prophet -saww said: ‘The generous is with what he owns and intends the Face of Allah -azwj with it, and as for the generous in the disobedience of Allah -azwj is a bearer of the Dissatisfaction of Allah -azwj and His -azwj Wrath, and he the most miserly of the people upon himself, how would he be with others whereby he pursues his whims and opposes the Command of Allah -azwj .
Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: And they will bear their own burdens, and (other) burdens along with their own burdens [29:13] .
وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مِلْكِي مِلْكِي وَ مَالِي مَالِي يَا مِسْكِينُ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ حَيْثُ كَانَ الْمِلْكُ وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ وَ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَبْقَيْتَ إِمَّا مَرْحُومٌ بِهِ وَ إِمَّا مُعَاقَبٌ عَلَيْهِ فَاعْقِلْ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ مَالُ غَيْرِكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ And the Prophet -saww said: ‘The son of Adam -as says, ‘My kingdom! My kingdom!’ And ‘My wealth!
My wealth!’ O poor fellow, where were you when the kingdom existed, and you did not exist? And is there for you except what you eat, so it has perished, or you wore, and it has decayed, or you donated so it remained? Either you will be Mercied due to it or Punished upon it. So use your intellect that the wealth of others does not become more beloved to you than your own wealth.
فَقَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَا قَدَّمْتَ فَهُوَ لِلْمَالِكِينَ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ فَهُوَ لِلْوَارِثِينَ وَ مَا مَعَكَ فَمَا لَكَ عَلَيْهِ سَبِيلٌ سِوَى الْغُرُورِ بِهِ كَمْ تَسْعَى فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا وَ كَمْ تَدَّعِي أَ فَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُفْقِرَ نَفْسَكَ وَ تُغْنِيَ غَيْرَكَ.
Amir Al-Momineen -asws has said: ‘Whatever is sent ahead it is for the owners, and whatever is held back it is for the inheritors, and whatever is with you, there is no way for you upon it apart from being deceived by it. How much you strived in seeking the world, and how much you left! Do you want to impoverish yourself and enrich others?’’ [9] جع، جامع الأخبار قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْجَنَّةُ دَارُ الْأَسْخِيَاءِ.
