Hadith 309
۞
6. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammed ibn Hussain bin Abi’l-Khattab, from Muhammed bin Isma’eel bin Bazee’, from Muhammed bin ‘Adhafir, from his father, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said
The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was with us during some of his journeys, as a convoy met him and said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. So he said: What are you? They said: We are believers. He said: What is the reality of your faith? He said: Satisfaction with the decision of Allah, submission to the commandment of Allah and entrustment to Allah, Exalted is He. Then he said: Wise scholars, as if they are to be, due to wisdom, Prophets. Hence, if you are truthful, then do not built that which you will not dwell in, and do not gather that which you will not consume, and fear Allah to Whom you will return.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد ابن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن إسماعيل بن بزيع، عن محمد بن عذافر، عن أبيه، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
بينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله في بعض أسفاره إذ لقيه ركب فقالوا: السلام عليك يا رسول الله، فقال: ما أنتم؟ قالوا: نحن مؤمنون، قال: فما حقيقة إيمانكم. قالوا:الرضا بقضاء الله والتسليم لأمر الله والتفويض إلى الله تعالى. فقال: علماء حكماء كادوا أن يكونوا من الحكمة أنبياء، فإن كنتم صادقين فلا تبنوا مالا تسكنون، ولا تجمعوا ما لا تأكلون، واتقوا الله الذي إليه ترجعون.
