Hadith 486
۞
Hadith.2057 - Imam Al-Hasan ibn Ali (as) observed the people on the Day of Eid al-Fitr playing and laughing. Imam (as) turned to his companions and said:
"Indeed, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, created the Month of Ramadan as a racecourse for His creation, where they compete in obedience to Him to attain His pleasure. Some have advanced in it and succeeded, while others have lagged behind and failed. Astonishing, truly astonishing, is the laughter and play of one on a day when the righteous are rewarded, and the negligent face disappointment. By Allah (swt), if the veil were lifted, the doer of good would be preoccupied with his goodness, and the sinner with his sins."
2057 - وَ نَظَرَ اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : إِلَى اَلنَّاسِ فِي يَوْمِ فِطْرٍ يَلْعَبُونَ وَ يَضْحَكُونَ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ وَ اِلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ مِضْمَاراً لِخَلْقِهِ يَسْتَبِقُونَ فِيهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ إِلَى رِضْوَانِهِ فَسَبَقَ فِيهِ قَوْمٌ فَفَازُوا وَ تَخَلَّفَ آخَرُونَ فَخَابُوا فَالْعَجَبُ كُلُّ اَلْعَجَبِ مِنَ اَلضَّاحِكِ اَللاَّعِبِ فِي اَلْيَوْمِ اَلَّذِي يُثَابُ فِيهِ اَلْمُحْسِنُونَ وَ يَخِيبُ فِيهِ اَلْمُقَصِّرُونَ وَ اَيْمُ اَللَّهِ لَوْ كُشِفَ اَلْغِطَاءُ لَشُغِلَ مُحْسِنٌ بِإِحْسَانِهِ وَ مُسِيءٌ بِإِسَاءَتِهِ ».
