۞
Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh al-Qummi narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil (rh) narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Husayn al-Sa`d Abadi from Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah al-Barqi from his father from Yunus b. `Abd al-Rahman from al-Mughira b. Tuba from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his grandfather (as). He said
When Amir al-Mu’minin (as) inspected the graveyards, he said: O people of the dust! O people of estrangement! As for your houses, they have been reinhabited. As for your wives, they have been remarried. As for your wealth, it has been distributed. This is the news from our side, what about the news from your side? Then, he turned to his companions and said: If they were permitted to speak, they would have informed you that the best provision is God-wariness.

لما أشرف أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) على المقابر، قال: يا أهل التربة، ويا أهل القربة، أما الدور فقد سكنت، وأما الازواج فقد نكحت، وأما الاموال فقد قسمت، فهذا خبر ما عندنا، فما خبر ما عندكم؟ ثم التفت إلى أصحابه فقال: لو أذن لهم في الكلام لاخبروكم أن خير الزاد التقوى (1).
