قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) تَعْمَلُونَ لِلدُّنْيَا وَ أَنْتُمْ تُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ وَ لَا تَعْمَلُونَ لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ أَنْتُمْ لَا تُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا إِلَّا بِالْعَمَلِ وَيْلَكُمْ عُلَمَاءَ سَوْءٍ الْأَجْرَ تَأْخُذُونَ وَ الْعَمَلَ تُضَيِّعُونَ يُوشِكُ رَبُّ الْعَمَلِ أَنْ يُقْبَلَ عَمَلُهُ وَ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُخْرَجُوا مِنْ ضِيقِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى ظُلْمَةِ الْقَبْرِ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ هُوَ فِي مَسِيرِهِ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِ وَ هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى دُنْيَاهُ وَ مَا يَضُرُّهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا يَنْفَعُهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Al Minqary, from Hafs Bin Giyas, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> having said: ‘Isa<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> Bin Maryam<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> said: ‘You are working for the world although you are being Graced therein without (having to perform) a deed, and your are not working for the Hereafter although you will not be Graced therein except with (the performance of) the deeds. Woe be unto you evil scholars! You are taking the recompense and wasting the deeds? He is on the verge. Perhaps He<sup>azwj</sup> would Accept his deed, and he is on the verge of exiting from the narrowness of the world to the darkness of the grave. How can one be of the learned who is on his way to the next life while he is holding to the world and what is harmful to him is more beloved to him than what is beneficial to him?’.
