2-62 Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-Asady narrated that Muhammad ibn Abi Imran quoted Abu Mus’ab Ahmad ibn Abu Bakr al-Zahri, on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Ali al-Lahabi, on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
What I am most afraid of for my nation is unattainable aspirations andunreachable hopes. Aspirations would hinder one from the truth and unreachable hopes would make one forget the Hereafter. The life in this world is to be ended while the life in the Hereafter is ahead of you. Each life has its own children. Try to be of the children of the Hereafter if you can. Try not to be of the children of this world. Today you are alive, can do things and there is no Reckoning. However, tomorrow you will die and will be in the World of Reckoning where you cannot do anything.”
2-62 حدثنا محمد بن أحمد الاسدي قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عمران قال: حدثنا أبومصعب أحمد بن أبي بكر الزهري قال: حدثنا علي بن أبي علي اللهبي عن محمد بن المنكدر عن جابر بن عبدالله قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن أخوفما أخاف على أمتي الهوى وطول الامل، أما الهوى فانه يصد عن الحق، وأما طول الامل فينسي الآخرة، وهذه الدنيا قدارتحلت مدبرة، وهذه الآخرة قدارتحلت مقبلة، ولكل واحدة منهما بنون، فان استطعتم أن تكونوا من أبناء الآخرة ولا تكونوا من أبناء الدنيا فافعلوا، فانكم اليوم في دار عمل ولا حساب وأنتم غدا في دار حساب ولا عمل
