Hadith.5845 - Isma'il ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said that the
Commander of the Faithful, said: "The scholars and the wise, when writing to one another, would write with three pieces of advice, with no fourth: Whoever makes the Hereafter his concern, Allah (swt) will suffice him in his worldly concerns. Whoever rectifies his inner self, Allah (swt) will rectify his outward state. Whoever improves what is between him and Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will improve what is between him and people."
5845 - وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "كَانَتِ اَلْفُقَهَاءُ وَ اَلْحُكَمَاءُ إِذَا كَاتَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً كَتَبُوا بِثَلاَثٍ لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَابِعَةٌ مَنْ كَانَتِ اَلْآخِرَةُ هَمَّهُ كَفَاهُ اَللَّهُ هَمَّهُ مِنَ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ مَنْ أَصْلَحَ سَرِيرَتَهُ أَصْلَحَ اَللَّهُ عَلاَنِيَتَهُ وَ مَنْ أَصْلَحَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ أَصْلَحَ اَللَّهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَلنَّاسِ".
