كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَصَرَخَتْ صَارِخَةٌ مِنَ الدَّارِ فَقَامَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ وَ عَادَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّا لَنُحِبُّ أَنْ نُعَافَى فِي أَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَوْلَادِنَا وَ أَمْوَالِنَا فَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَضَاءُ فَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَنْ نُحِبَّ مَا لَمْ يُحِبَّ اللَّهُ لَنَا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Ala’a Bin Kamil who said, ‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so a shrieker from the house shrieked. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> stood up, then was seated, and he<sup>asws</sup> said <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 returned in his<sup>asws</sup> discussion until he<sup>asws</sup> was free from it. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We<sup>asws</sup> love that we<sup>asws</sup> are in good health regarding ourselves<sup>asws</sup> and our<sup>asws</sup> children, and our<sup>asws</sup> wealth So when the Ordainment occurs, so it is not for us<sup>asws</sup> that we<sup>asws</sup> love what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> does not Love for us<sup>asws</sup>’.
