Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “One day when the Prophet of God (a.s) saw Harith ibn Malik ibn al-Naemane al-Ansarie, he asked him: “O' Harith! How did you spent the night until the morning?” Harith replied: “O' Prophet of God! I spent the night until the morning as a true believer.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “There is a certain truth to all faith. What is the truth of your faith?” He replied: “I abstained from worldly affairs, stayed up all night long, and fasted all day. Then when I looked up to my Lord's heavens, it was as if the Judgment Day had approached, and I joined the residents of Heaven while they were going to visit each other, and the residents of Hell were being tortured.” God's Prophet (a.s) said: “You are a believer. God has enlightened your heart with faith. Then remain steadfast, and may God make you steadfast.” Then Harith said: “O' Prophet of God! I fear none of my parts (to sin) but my eyes.” So the Prophet of God (a.s) prayed for him and he lost his sight.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
لقى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يوما حارثة بن مالك بن النعمان الأنصاري فقال له: كيف أصبحت يا حارثة؟ قال: أصبحت يا رسول الله مؤمنا حقا، فقال: إن لكل إيمان حقيقة، فما حقيقة إيمانك؟ فقال: عزفت نفسي عن الدنيا فأسهرت ليلي وأظمأت نهاري فكأني نظرت إلى عرش ربي قد قرب الحساب، فكأني بأهل الجنة فيها يتزاورون وأهل النار يعذبون، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): أنت مؤمن، نور الله الإيمان في قلبك فأثبت ثبتك الله، فقال: يا رسول الله! ما أنا على نفسي من شئ أخوف مني عليها من بصري، فدعا له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فذهب بصره.
