قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَدَعْ شَيْئاً يُقَرِّبُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ يُبَاعِدُكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ نَبَّأْتُكُمْ بِهِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ [قَدْ] نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِي وَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنْ لَا تَمُوتُ نَفْسٌ حَتَّى تَسْتَكْمِلَ رِزْقَهَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ وَ لَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمُ اسْتِبْطَاءُ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ أَنْ تَطْلُبُوهُ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُنَالُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ .


Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Noman, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘O you people! I<sup>saww</sup> have not left out anything which would take you all closer to the Paradise and distance you all from the Fires, except that I<sup>saww</sup> have informed you with it. Indeed! The Holy Spirit has inspired into my<sup>saww</sup> heart and informed me<sup>saww</sup> that there would not die a soul until it completes (consuming) its sustenance. Therefore, fear Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic and better yourselves in the seeking and do not let anything from the sustenance carry you upon the disobedience of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, for whatever is in the Presence of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Majestic is His<sup>azwj</sup> Mention, cannot be achieved except by being obedient to Him<sup>azwj</sup>’.
