سَمِعْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ وَ شَبَّكَ أَصَابِعَهُ بَعْضَهَا فِي بَعْضٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَفَرَّجِي تَضَيَّقِي وَ تَضَيَّقِي تَفَرَّجِي ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلَكَتِ الْمَحَاضِيرُ وَ نَجَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ ثَبَتَ الْحَصَى عَلَى أَوْتَادِهِمْ أُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ قَسَماً حَقّاً إِنَّ بَعْدَ الْغَمِّ فَتْحاً عَجَباً.

<a id="_Toc492473579">H 14898</a> – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Hashim, from Sufyan Al-Jariry, from Abu Maryam Al-Ansary, from Haroun Bin Antara, from his father who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">I</span> heard Amir-ul- Momineen</span><sup>asws</sup> again and again, and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying with his<sup>asws</sup> fingers clasped at each other: ‘My<sup>asws</sup> ease is my<sup>asws</sup> constraint, and my<sup>asws</sup> constraint is my<sup>asws</sup> ease’. Then said; ‘Destroyed are the expectants who expect it now, and rescued are the expectants who expect it soon and are steadfast upon their pegs. I swear by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> by a true oath that after the grief would be a wonderful victory (Al-Qaim<sup>asws</sup>)’.
