And if the replacement from Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic was the true reality...
And if the replacement from Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic was the true reality, then why the miserliness?’ [7] The regret of accumulating the wealth: Amir ul-Momineen -asws says in a sermon: وَ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَمْوَالًا جَمَعَهَا أَغْمَضَ فِي مَطَالِبِهَا وَ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مُصَرَّحَاتِهَا وَ مُشْتَبِهَاتِهَا قَدْ لَزِمَتْهُ تَبِعَاتُ جَمْعِهَا وَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى فِرَاقِهَا تَبْقَى لِمَنْ وَرَاءَهُ [يُنَعَّمُونَ] يَنْعَمُونَ فِيهَا وَ يَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِهَا فَيَكُونُ الْمَهْنَأُ لِغَيْرِهِ وَ الْعِبْءُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ And he (after death) recalls the wealth he amassed , having closed his eyes during seeking it and taking it from its allowable and suspicious means, both of these having necessitated consequences for him.
And he prepares for its separation and its remaining for the ones he leaves behind him to be enjoying with it for the award is for others and the burden is upon his back. وَ الْمَرْءُ قَدْ غَلِقَتْ رُهُونُهُ بِهَا فَهُوَ يَعَضُّ يَدَهُ نَدَامَةً عَلَى مَا أَصْحَرَ لَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ يَزْهَدُ فِيمَا كَانَ يَرْغَبُ فِيهِ أَيَّامَ عُمُرِهِ وَ يَتَمَنَّى أَنَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَغْبِطُهُ بِهَا وَ يَحْسُدُهُ عَلَيْهَا قَدْ حَازَهَا دُونَهُ And the person’s pledge is locked with it.
He bites his hand in regret upon what appears to him from his matters during the death, and he becomes ascetic regarding what he had been desirous during the days of his life, and he wishes that the one who had backbit him with it and envied him over it would have amassed it instead.
فَلَمْ يَزَلِ الْمَوْتُ يُبَالِغُ فِي جَسَدِهِ حَتَّى خَالَطَ لِسَانُهُ سَمْعَهُ فَصَارَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ لَا يَنْطِقُ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِسَمْعِهِ يُرَدِّدُ طَرْفَهُ بِالنَّظَرِ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ يَرَى حَرَكَاتِ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ لَا يَسْمَعُ رَجْعَ كَلَامِهِمْ So, the death does not cease to permeate in his body until it mingles with his hearing, and he becomes unable to speak with his tongue nor hear with his hearing, scanning his eyes with looking into their faces.
He sees the movements of their tongues and cannot hear their speeches.
