فَقَسَمَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَعَايِشَهُمْ وَ وَضَعَهُمْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَوَاضِعَهُمْ فَالْمُتَّقُونَ فِيهَا هُمْ أَهْلُ الْفَضَائِلِ مَنْطِقُهُمُ الصَّوَابُ وَ مَلْبَسُهُمُ الِاقْتِصَادُ وَ مَشْيُهُمُ التَّوَاضُعُ غَضُّوا أَبْصَارَهُمْ عَمَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ وَقَفُوا أَسْمَاعَهُمْ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ النَّافِعِ لَهُمْ He -azwj Apportioned between them their livelihoods and Placed them from the world in their places. The pious ones in it, they are the people of merits.
Their talk is correct, and their apparels are moderate, and their lives are humble. They close their eyes from whatever Allah -azwj has Prohibited unto them, and they pause their hearing upon the knowledge beneficial for them.
نُزِّلَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْبَلَاءِ كَالَّتِي نُزِّلَتْ فِي الرَّخَاءِ وَ لَوْ لَا الْأَجَلُ الَّذِي كَتَبَ اللَّهُ [لَهُمْ] عَلَيْهِمْ لَمْ تَسْتَقِرَّ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ فِي أَجْسَادِهِمْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ شَوْقاً إِلَى الثَّوَابِ وَ خَوْفاً مِنَ الْعِقَابِ- They dwell in afflictions like the one who dwells in prosperity.
Had it not been for the term (death) which Allah -azwj has Decreed upon them, their souls would not have settled in their bodies for the blink of an eye out of desire for the Rewards and fear of the Punishments.
عَظُمَ الْخَالِقُ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَصَغُرَ مَا دُونَهُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَهُمْ وَ الْجَنَّةُ كَمَنْ قَدْ رَآهَا فَهُمْ فِيهَا مُنَعَّمُونَ وَ هُمْ وَ النَّارُ كَمَنْ قَدْ رَآهَا فَهُمْ فِيهَا مُعَذَّبُونَ The Creator is Mighty within themselves, so whatever is besides it is small in their eyes. They and the Paradise are like the one who has seen it and is enjoying it, while they and the Fire are like the one who has seen it and they are being Punished in it.
قُلُوبُهُمْ مَحْزُونَةٌ وَ شُرُورُهُمْ مَأْمُونَةٌ وَ أَجْسَادُهُمْ نَحِيفَةٌ وَ حَاجَاتُهُمْ خَفِيفَةٌ وَ أَنْفُسُهُمْ عَفِيفَةٌ صَبَرُوا أَيَّاماً قَصِيرَةً أَعْقَبَتْهُمْ رَاحَةً طَوِيلَةً تِجَارَةٌ مُرْبِحَةٌ يَسَّرَهَا لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَرَادَتْهُمُ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمْ يُرِيدُوهَا وَ أَسَرَتْهُمْ فَفَدَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مِنْهَا Their hearts are aggrieved, and their evils (the people) are secure from it; their bodies are thin, and their needs are light, and their souls are chaste.
They are patient for a few days, their consequence is a lengthy rest, being a profitable trade. Their Lord -azwj has Eased for them. The world wants them, but they do not want it, and it has made captives of them, so they are ransoming themselves from it.
