ثُمَّ الْحَسَدُ وَ هِيَ مَعْصِيَةُ ابْنِ آدَمَ حَيْثُ حَسَدَ أَخَاهُ فَقَتَلَهُ فَتَشَعَّبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حُبُّ النِّسَاءِ وَ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَ حُبُّ الرِّئَاسَةِ وَ حُبُّ الرَّاحَةِ وَ حُبُّ الْكَلَامِ وَ حُبُّ الْعُلُوِّ وَ الثَّرْوَةِ فَصِرْنَ سَبْعَ خِصَالٍ فَاجْتَمَعْنَ كُلُّهُنَّ فِي حُبِّ الدُّنْيَا Then (it was) the envy , and it is a disobedience of the son -la of Adam -as where he -la envied his -la brother -as , and he -la killed him -as .
So there branched out from that, the love of women, and the love of the world, and love of the leadership, and love of the relaxation, and love of the speech, and love of the exaltedness and the wealth. Thus, these came to be seven traits, and they all gathered in the love of the world. فَقَالَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ الْعُلَمَاءُ بَعْدَ مَعْرِفَةِ ذَلِكَ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا رَأْسُ كُلِّ خَطِيئَةٍ وَ الدُّنْيَا دُنْيَاءَانِ دُنْيَا بَلَاغٍ وَ دُنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٍ .
Thus the Prophets -as and the Scholars -asws said after recognition that: ‘The love of the world is the head of all sins, and the world is (two types of) world – a world of bare necessities and the condemned one’.
[18] وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي مُنَاجَاةِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) يَا مُوسَى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا دَارُ عُقُوبَةٍ عَاقَبْتُ فِيهَا آدَمَ عِنْدَ خَطِيئَتِهِ وَ جَعَلْتُهَا مَلْعُونَةً مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِيهَا لِي And by this chain, from Al Minqary, from Hafs Bin Giyas, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘In the Manifesto of Musa -as (it was): “O Musa -as !
The world is a house of Punishment. Adam -as was Punished during his -as error, and I -azwj Made it to be Accursed. Accursed is whatever is therein, except for what there is in it (performed) for Me -azwj ”. يَا مُوسَى إِنَّ عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحِينَ زَهِدُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا بِقَدْرِ عِلْمِهِمْ وَ سَائِرَ الْخَلْقِ رَغِبُوا فِيهَا بِقَدْرِ جَهْلِهِمْ وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَظَّمَهَا فَقَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ فِيهَا وَ لَمْ يُحَقِّرْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا انْتَفَعَ بِهَا . O Musa -as !
My -azwj righteous servants are being ascetic in the world in accordance to their knowledge, and the rest of the creatures are desiring with regards to it in accordance with their ignorance; and there is no one who magnifies it (the world) and his eyes would be delighted in it, and no one would belittle it except that he would benefit from it’.
