إِنَّ التَّمَنِّيَ عَمَلُ الْوَسْوَسَةِ وَ أَكْثَرُ مَصَائِدِ الشَّيْطَانِ أَكْلُ الطِّينِ وَ هُوَ يُورِثُ السُّقْمَ فِي الْجِسْمِ وَ يُهَيِّجُ الدَّاءَ وَ مَنْ أَكَلَ طِيناً فَضَعُفَ عَنْ قُوَّتِهِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ وَ ضَعُفَ عَنِ الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ حُوسِبَ عَلَى مَا بَيْنَ قُوَّتِهِ وَ ضَعْفِهِ وَ عُذِّبَ عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ismail Bin Muhammad, from his grandfather Ziyad Bin Abu Ziyad, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The wishful thinking (day dreaming) is an act of the undue concern, and frequently the trap of the Satan<sup>la</sup> is eating the clay, and it inherits the illness in the body, and accelerates the pain, and the one who eats clay so it would weaken his strength which he had before he ate it, and weaken from the actions which he was doing before he ate it, being seized what is between his strength and his weakness, and would be tormented upon it’.
