Hadith 118
۞
Hadith.1713 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) regarding the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted, "Thus Allah (swt) will show them their deeds as regrets upon them" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:167), said:
"This refers to a man who hoards his wealth and refrains from spending it in the obedience of Allah (swt), the Exalted, out of miserliness. Then he dies and leaves it behind for someone who either uses it in the obedience of Allah (swt) or in His disobedience. If it is used in obedience to Allah (swt), he will see it recorded in someone else's scale of deeds and will feel regret, for the wealth was originally his. And if it is used in disobedience to Allah (swt), he will have enabled the person who committed sins with that wealth, furthering their disobedience to Allah (swt), the Exalted."
1713 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
« كَذٰلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ اَللّٰهُ أَعْمٰالَهُمْ حَسَرٰاتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ » قَالَ «هُوَ اَلرَّجُلُ يَدَعُ مَالَهُ لاَ يُنْفِقُهُ فِي طَاعَةِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بُخْلاً ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ فَيَدَعُهُ لِمَنْ يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ بِطَاعَةِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اَللَّهِ فَإِنْ عَمِلَ فِيهِ بِطَاعَةِ اَللَّهِ رَآهُ فِي مِيزَانِ غَيْرِهِ فَرَآهُ حَسْرَةً وَ قَدْ كَانَ اَلْمَالُ لَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَمِلَ فِيهِ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَوَّاهُ بِذَلِكَ اَلْمَالِ حَتَّى عَمِلَ بِهِ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ».
