And know that the honourable one among the people’s eyes is that who is good to them and is not a ask them any favours (in return), and the more honourable, after this one, in their eyes will be the one who does not burden them with his requests although he is in need of them, as the people of the world are in love with their wealth, and whoever does not affect their loved entity (wealth) is honoured by them and one who increases their wealth through his own means, little or more, will be the most honourable to them.’ [4] Preparation for the Hereafter [5] : قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع‏ (مالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) أَيْ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ، قَادِرٌ عَلَى تَقْدِيمِهِ عَلَى وَقْتِهِ، وَ تَأْخِيرِهِ بَعْدَ وَقْتِهِ، وَ هُوَ الْمَالِكُ أَيْضاً فِي يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِ‏، لَا يَمْلِكُ الْحُكْمَ وَ الْقَضَاءَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَنْ يَظْلِمُ وَ يَجُورُ، كَمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الْأَحْكَامَ The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari -asws ) said: Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4] – ‘Yes, He -azwj is so Powerful to establish the ‘ Yawm Al-Deen ’, and this is the Day of Reckoning, and He -azwj is so Powerful to Bring it forward or Move it back from its pre-Determined time, and He -azwj is the Master as well during that Day and will be Judging with the Truth.

There will be no authority on that Day for those who used to be unjust and oppressors in the world from among the rulers, to issue orders like they used to issue in the world. قَالَ: وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع: (يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) هُوَ يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ He -asws said: ‘And Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘(The phrase) ‘Yawm Al-Deen’ – it is the Day of Reckoning’.

وَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ: أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَكْيَسِ الْكَيِّسِينَ وَ أَحْمَقِ الْحَمْقَى قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ And he -asws said: ‘I -asws heard Rasool-Allah -saww saying: ‘Shall I -saww inform you with the cleverest of the clever ones and the most stupid of the stupid ones?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah -saww !’.

قَالَ: أَكْيَسُ الْكَيِّسِينَ مَنْ حَاسَبَ نَفْسَهُ، وَ عَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَ إِنَّ أَحْمَقَ الْحَمْقَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ نَفْسُهُ هَوَاهَا، وَ تَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى الْأَمَانِيَّ The most clever of the clever ones is the one who reckons himself, and works for what is after the death, and the most stupid of the stupid ones is the one who pursues his personal desires and wishes to Allah -azwj the Exalted of the wishes’’.
