Hadith 582
۞
My father (rh) narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. `Isa narrated to us from al-Husayn b. Sa`id from `Ali b. al-Hakam from Dawud b. al-Nu`man from Ishaq b. `Ammar from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as). He said
On the Day of Resurrection, two believing servants will be brought for judgment. Both are from the people of Paradise, but one was poor in this world, and the other was rich in this world. So, the poor one will say: “O Lord! Why was I brought? By Your glory, You surely know that You did not give me authority with which I could have been just or unjust, nor did you grant me wealth with which I could have given rightly or withheld it. My sustenance was not but enough to subsist poorly.” So, Allah will say: “You have spoken the truth, My servant, let him go enter Paradise.” So, the other will remain [for long], and he will sweat so much [over that time] that if forty camels would drink from it, it would suffice them. Then, he will enter Paradise. So, the poor one will say to him: “What kept you?” So, he said: “The length of the judgment. One thing came up after another, which were forgiven of me. Then, I would be asked about another thing until Allah would encompass me in His mercy. He made me join the repentant. So, who are you?” So, he will say: “I am the poor one who was with you earlier.” So, he will say: “Bliss has changed you.”
11 - حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد ابن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن علي بن الحكم، عن داود بن النعمان، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليهما السلام)، قال
إذا كان يوم القيامة وقف عبدان مؤمنان للحساب، كلاهما من أهل الجنة، فقير في الدنيا، وغني في الدنيا، فيقول الفقير: يا رب على ما أوقف؟ فو عزتك انك لتعلم أنك لم تولني ولاية فأعدل فيها أو أجور، ولم ترزقني مالا فأودي منه حقا أو أمنع، ولا كان رزقي يأتيني منها إلا كفاف على ما علمت وقدرت لي. فيقول الله جل جلاله: صدق عبدي، خلوا عنه يدخل الجنة. ويبقى الآخر حتى يسيل منه العرق ما لو شربه أربعون بعيرا لكفاها ثم يدخل الجنة، فيقول له الفقير: ما حبسك؟ فيقول: طول الحساب، ما زال الشئ يجيئني بعد الشئ يغفر لي، ثم أسأل عن شئ آخر حتى تغمدني الله عز وجل منه برحمته، وألحقني بالتأئبين، فمن أنت؟ فيقول: أنا الفقير الذي كنت معك آنفا. فيقول: لقد غيرك النعيم بعدي (2).
