Hadith 302
۞
1. He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Walid reported to me from his father, who reported from Muhammad ibnal-Hasan al-Saffar, from ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qashani, from al-Ishfahani, from Sulaiman ibn Dawood al-Manqari, from Hafs ibn Ghayas, who reported that
Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "When any of you prays to Allah with a firm intention to have his prayer answered, then he should (first) despair from all the people, and he should have no hope attached to anyone except Allah, Most High. When Allah finds that in his heart, then there is no prayer from him except that He grants. And take account of yourselves before your account is taken (on the Day of Reckoning), for on the Day of Resurrection there will be fifty stations, each equal to a thousand years of your reckoning." Then he recited this verse (from Qur’an): ’... in a period of day whereof the measure is fifty thousand years.’ (70:4)."
1 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسن أحمد بن محمد بن الحسن بن الوليد قال: حدثني أبي قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن علي بن محمد القاشاني، عن الإصفهاني ، عن سليمان بن داود المنقري، عن حفص بن غياث قال
قال أبو عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام: إذا أراد أحدكم ألا يسأل الله شيئا إلا أعطاء فلييأس من الناس كلهم، ولا يكون له رجاء إلا من عند الله عز وجل ، فإذا علم الله ذلك من قلبه لم يسأل شيئا إلا أعطاه، فحاسبوا أنفسكم قبل أن تحاسبوا، فإن في القيامة خمسين موقفا كل موقف مثل ألف سنة مما تعدون، ثم تلا هذه الآية: " في يوم كان مقداره خمسين ألف سنة ".
