قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا الْجَزَعُ قَالَ أَشَدُّ الْجَزَعِ الصُّرَاخُ بِالْوَيْلِ وَ الْعَوِيلِ وَ لَطْمُ الْوَجْهِ وَ الصَّدْرِ وَ جَزُّ الشَّعْرِ مِنَ النَّوَاصِي وَ مَنْ أَقَامَ النُّوَاحَةَ فَقَدْ تَرَكَ الصَّبْرَ وَ أَخَذَ فِي غَيْرِ طَرِيقِهِ وَ مَنْ صَبَرَ وَ اسْتَرْجَعَ وَ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَدْ رَضِيَ بِمَا صَنَعَ اللَّهُ وَ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ جَرَى عَلَيْهِ الْقَضَاءُ وَ هُوَ ذَمِيمٌ وَ أَحْبَطَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَجْرَهُ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr and Al Hassan Bin Ali, altogether from Abu Jameela, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What is the panic?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The intense panic is shrieking with the woe, and the wailing, and the slapping of the face, and the chest, and pulling out the hair from the forehead; and the one who establishes lamentations, so he has neglected the patience and has taken to other than its way; and the one who is patient and says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h156"><a href="/books/quran:2#h156">[2:156]</a></a> Surely we are for Allah and to Him we are returning</span>, and Praises Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, so he is pleased with whatever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> does, and his Recompense would fall upon Allah<sup>azwj</sup>; but the one who does not do that and the matters Ordained would flow upon him, and he would be condemned, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted would Confiscate his Recompense’.
