قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الْغَفَّارِ إِنَّ دُخُولَكَ عَلَى...

قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الْغَفَّارِ إِنَّ دُخُولَكَ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ يَدْعُو إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ مَحَبَّةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ نِسْيَانِ الْمَوْتِ وَ قِلَّةِ الرِّضَا بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ He -asws said: ‘O Abdul Gaffar! Your entering to see the ruler calls to three things – love of the world, and forgetfulness of the death, and lack of satisfaction with what Allah -azwj has Apportioned’.

قُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي ذُو عَيْلَةٍ وَ أَتَّجِرُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ لِجَرِّ الْمَنْفَعَةِ فَمَا تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ I said, ‘O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ! I am with dependants, and I trade to that place for pulling the benefits.

So, what is your -asws view regarding that?’ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَسْتُ آمُرُكَ بِتَرْكِ الدُّنْيَا بَلْ آمُرُكَ بِتَرْكِ الذُّنُوبِ فَتَرْكُ الدُّنْيَا فَضِيلَةٌ وَ تَرْكُ الذُّنُوبِ فَرِيضَةٌ وَ أَنْتَ إِلَى إِقَامَةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنْكَ إِلَى اكْتِسَابِ الْفَضِيلَةِ He -asws said: ‘O servant of Allah -azwj ! I -asws am not instructing you to neglect the world, but I -asws am instructed you with neglecting the sins.

So, neglecting the world is a merit and neglecting the sins is an Obligation, and you are more needy to establishing the obligations that you are to the earning of merits’. قَالَ فَقَبَّلْتُ يَدَهُ وَ رِجْلَهُ وَ قُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا نَجِدُ الْعِلْمَ الصَّحِيحَ إِلَّا عِنْدَكُمْ He (the narrator) said, ‘I kissed his -asws hand and his -asws leg, and I said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you -asws , O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww !

We cannot find the correct knowledge except with you -asws (Imams -asws )’’. [25] Allah -azwj does not Accept those who delay in leaving the ‘Unjust System’: كتاب حسين بن سعيد و النوادر النَّضْرُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ قَوْماً مِمَّنْ آمَنَ بِمُوسَى صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا لَوْ أَتَيْنَا عَسْكَرَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ كُنَّا فِيهِ وَ نِلْنَا مِنْ دُنْيَاهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ الَّذِي نَرْجُوهُ مِنْ ظُهُورِ مُوسَى صِرْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَفَعَلُوا The book of Husayn Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Al Nazr, from Muhammad Bin Hashim, from a man, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘A group of people from the ones who had believed with Musa -as , may the Salawaat of Allah -azwj be upon him -as , said, ‘If we could go to the army of Pharaoh -la and be with it, we would attain from his -la world.
