قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) لِأَصْحَابِهِ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ هُدَى اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ نُورُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ وَ فَاقَةٍ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتْ بَلِيَّةٌ فَاجْعَلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ دُونَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ نَازِلَةٌ فَاجْعَلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ دُونَ دِينِكُمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْهَالِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ دِينُهُ وَ الْحَرِيبَ مَنْ حُرِبَ دِينُهُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَا فَقْرَ بَعْدَ الْجَنَّةِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَا غِنَى بَعْدَ النَّارِ لَا يُفَكُّ أَسِيرُهَا وَ لَا يَبْرَأُ ضَرِيرُهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Abu Jameela who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It was in the bequest of Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momin</span>een<sup>asws</sup> to his<sup>asws</sup> companions: ‘Know, that the Quran is a Guidance, day and night, and a light in the darkness of the night upon whatever was from the stress and destitution. So when an affliction presents itself, so make your wealth to be below your own selves, and when the descent (affliction) descends, so make yourselves to be below your Religion. And know, that the destroyed one, is the one whose Religion is destroyed, and the ruined one is the one whose Religion is ruined. Indeed! There is no poverty after the (entry into the) Paradise, nor a richness after (entry into the) Hell. There is neither a freedom for its captives nor is there a cure for its harmed ones’.
