A servant will not prefer My -azwj Whims over his own whims except I -azwj shall Make his concern to be regarding his Hereafter, and his riches to be in his heart, and Suffice him of his estate, and I -azwj shall Guaranteed the skies and the earth of his sustenance, and the world will come to him, and it would be compelled!”’ [4] تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ لَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْيَسِ الْكَيِّسِينَ وَ أَحْمَقِ الْحُمَقَاءِ Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari -asws , may the greetings be upon him -asws – ‘Rasool-Allah ‑saww said: ‘Shall I saww inform you with the cleverest of the clever ones and the stupidest of the stupid ones?’ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah saww !’ قَالَ أَكْيَسُ الْكَيِّسِينَ مَنْ حَاسَبَ نَفْسَهُ وَ عَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَحْمَقُ الْحُمَقَاءِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهُ وَ تَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْأَمَانِيَّ The cleverest of the clever ones is the one who reckons himself, and works for what is after the death, and the stupidest of the stupid ones is the one who pursues his personal desires and wishes to Allah azwj the Exalted of the wishes’’.

And how can the man reckon his own self?’ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ ثُمَّ أَمْسَى رَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا نَفْسُ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ مَضَى عَلَيْكِ لَا يَعُودُ إِلَيْكِ أَبَداً وَ اللَّهِ سَائِلُكِ عَنْهُ فِيمَا أَفْنَيْتِهِ فَمَا الَّذِي عَمِلْتِ فِيهِ أَ ذَكَرْتِ اللَّهَ أَمْ حَمِدْتِيهِ أَ قَضَيْتِ حَقَّ أَخٍ مُؤْمِنٍ أَ نَفَّسْتِ عَنْهُ كُرْبَتَهُ أَ حَفِظْتِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ أَ حَفِظْتِيهِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ فِي مُخَلَّفِيهِ أَ كَفَفْتِ عَنْ غِيبَةِ أَخٍ مُؤْمِنٍ بِفَضْلِ جَاهِكِ أَ أَعَنْتِ مُسْلِماً مَا الَّذِي صَنَعْتِ فِيهِ فَيَذْكُرُ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ He asws said: ‘When it is morning, then evening, he refers to himself and he says, ‘O self!
