4-90 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Isfahani, on the authority of Suleiman ibn Davood al-Minqari, on the authority of Sufyan ibn Ayyineh, on the authority of Al-Zuhra that in part of a long narration, Ali ibn al-Hussein as-Sajjad (MGB) said, “
God’s servant has four eyes: two eyes with which he sees the affairs of this world and his religion; and two inner eyes with which he sees the affairs of the Hereafter. When God wishes good for His servant, He opens the servants inner eyes which are in his heart, so that he can see the affairs related to the Hereafter. However, when God wishes anything else, He shall close his inner eyes. ”
4-90 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن القاسم بن محمد الاصبهاني، عن سليمان بن داود المنقري، عن سفيان بن عيينة، عن الزهري، عن علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام قال
في حديث طويل يقول فيه: ألا إن للعبد أربع أعين: عينان يبصر بهما أمر دينه ودنياه، وعينان يبصر بهما أمر آخرته، فإذا أراد الله بعبد خيرا فتح له العينين اللتين في قلبه فأبصر بهما الغيب في أمر آخرته وإذا أراد به غير ذلك ترك القلب بما فيه
