Hadith 480
۞
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from more than one person from ‘Asim from ibn Hamid from abu ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ who has said the following
“I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) say, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, says, ‘The most envied person among My servants is a man whose needs are light, has a good share in prayer, who performs the worship of his Lord unseen, is obscure among the people, whose expenses are within the limits of bare necessities with which he exercises patience, whose death is quick (like a dead person free from worldly desires) and whose heirs and mourners are very few.’”
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّ مِنْ أَغْبَطِ أَوْلِيَائِي عِنْدِي رَجُلاً خَفِيفَ الْحَالِ ذَا حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلاةٍ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ بِالْغَيْبِ وَكَانَ غَامِضاً فِي النَّاسِ جُعِلَ رِزْقُهُ كَفَافاً فَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهِ عُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ فَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ.
