قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْحَسْرَةَ وَ النَّدَامَةَ وَ الْوَيْلَ كُلَّهُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ بِمَا أَبْصَرَهُ وَ لَمْ يَدْرِ مَا الْأَمْرُ الَّذِي هُوَ عَلَيْهِ مُقِيمٌ أَ نَفْعٌ لَهُ أَمْ ضَرٌّ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَبِمَ يُعْرَفُ النَّاجِي مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ فِعْلُهُ لِقَوْلِهِ مُوَافِقاً فَأُثْبِتَ لَهُ الشَّهَادَةُ بِالنَّجَاةِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِعْلُهُ لِقَوْلِهِ مُوَافِقاً فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مُسْتَوْدَعٌ .
Translation
From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Al Ju’fy who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The anguish, and the regret and the woe, all of it is for the one who does not benefit from what he sees and does not know what the matter is which he is standing upon, is it beneficial for him or harmful?’ I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So by what would the saved ones be recognised from them, may I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one whose deed was in accordance to his words, so the testimony of the salvation would be affirmed for him, and the one whose deed does not happen to be in accordance to his words, so rather, that is the temporary one (of the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>)’.
