Hadith 34
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father in a marfu’ manner from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘O people indeed there is only Allah and Satan, Truth and falsehood, guidance and straying, wisdom and error, present and future, the consequences, the good deeds and evil deeds. There is no good deed except for Allah and no evil deed except for Satan, may Allah curse him.’”
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الله وَالشَّيْطَانُ وَالْحَقُّ وَالْبَاطِلُ وَالْهُدَى وَالضَّلالَةُ وَالرُّشْدُ وَالْغَيُّ وَالْعَاجِلَةُ وَالآجِلَةُ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ وَالْحَسَنَاتُ وَالسَّيِّئَاتُ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتٍ فَلله وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتٍ فَلِلشَّيْطَانِ لَعَنَهُ الله.

Hadith 35
3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from abu al-Hassan al-Rada (a.s.) who has said the following
“Amir al Mu’minin (a.s.) has said, ‘Glad tidings to those who maintain sincerity in worshipping Allah and in prayer to Him. Whatever they see does not occupy their heart. Whatever they hear does not make them forget to speak of Allah and they do not feel depressed because of what is given to others.’”
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ
أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كَانَ يَقُولُ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَخْلَصَ لله الْعِبَادَةَ وَالدُّعَاءَ وَلَمْ يَشْغَلْ قَلْبَهُ بِمَا تَرَى عَيْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَنْسَ ذِكْرَ الله بِمَا تَسْمَعُ أُذُنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَحْزُنْ صَدْرَهُ بِمَا أُعْطِيَ غَيْرُهُ.

5. It is reported through the same chain of narrators that he said
“Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘Except those who would come to Allah with safe and protected hearts. . . .’ (26:89) The Imam said, ‘A safe and protected heart is such a heart that goes in the presence of his Lord while there is nothing in it besides his Lord. He then said that every heart in which there is polytheism or doubt, such a heart is a failing heart. They (pious people) have chosen to restrict themselves from worldly matters so that their hearts are reserved for the matters of the life hereafter only.’”
5ـ وَبِهَذَا الإسْنَادِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلا مَنْ أَتَى الله بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ قَالَ الْقَلْبُ السَّلِيمُ الَّذِي يَلْقَى رَبَّهُ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ سِوَاهُ قَالَ وَكُلُّ قَلْبٍ فِيهِ شِرْكٌ أَوْ شَكٌّ فَهُوَ سَاقِطٌ وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادُوا الزُّهْدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لِتَفْرُغَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِلآخِرَةِ.

Hadith 38
6. It is reported through the same chain of narrators from Sufyan ibn ‘Uyayna from al-Sindy from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘If a servant maintains pure belief in Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, for forty days, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, purifies his heart in this world and shows him his illnesses and the cure for them (illnesses).’ Also he (a.s.) said, ‘Whenever a servant of Allah speaks of Him in a beautiful way for forty days Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, purifies his heart in this world and shows him his illnesses and the cure for such illnesses. He then establishes wisdom in his heart and will make his tongue to speak wisdom. ’ The Imam then recited this verse of the Holy Quran, ‘Those who took the calf as their Lord will face anger and humiliation from their Lord in the worldly life and thus, We recompense those who forge lies.’ (7:157) “The Imam said, ‘You should note that all those who forge lies are but despicable persons. So also is one who forges lies against Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, His messenger and his A hi al-Bayt, recipients of divine supreme covenant. Such person is nothing but a despicable one.’”
6ـ بِهَذَا الإسْنَادِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
مَا أَخْلَصَ الْعَبْدُ الإيمَانَ بِالله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً أَوْ قَالَ مَا أَجْمَلَ عَبْدٌ ذِكْرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً إِلا زَهَّدَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَبَصَّرَهُ دَاءَهَا وَدَوَاءَهَا فَأَثْبَتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَنْطَقَ بِهَا لِسَانَهُ ثُمَّ تَلا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَكَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ فَلا تَرَى صَاحِبَ بِدْعَةٍ إِلا ذَلِيلاً وَمُفْتَرِياً عَلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَلَى رَسُولِهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) إِلا ذَلِيلاً.
