سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَمَّا الْجِدارُ فَكانَ لِغُلامَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَ كانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنْزٌ لَهُما فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مَا كَانَ ذَهَباً وَ لَا فِضَّةً وَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا مَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَمْ يَضْحَكْ سِنُّهُ وَ مَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْحِسَابِ لَمْ يَفْرَحْ قَلْبُهُ وَ مَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْقَدَرِ لَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Safwan Al Jammal who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:18#h82"><a href="/books/quran:18#h82">[18:82]</a></a> And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them both</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, it was neither gold nor silver, and rather these were four sentences – There is no god except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. Surely the one who was convinced of the death would not laugh for his lifetime, and the one who is certain of the Reckoning his heart would not be happy, and the one who is certain of the Pre-determination would not fear anyone except Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’.
