The Book of Characteristics · Hadith 20 (#Ḥadīth #2)

1-19 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثني علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن أبي جعفر الكميداني، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن عبد الله بن جبلة، عن عبد الله ابن سنان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لجبرئيل: عظني فقال: يا محمد عش ما شئت فانك ميت، وأحبب ما شئت فانك مفارقه، واعمل ما شئت فانك ملاقيه، شرف المؤمن صلاته بالليل، وعزه كفه عن أعراض الناس

1-19 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Abi Ja’far al-Kumaydany, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Jabal’le, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Sin’an, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) told Gabriel, “Advise me.” Gabriel said, “O Muhammad! Live as much as you want. You will finally die. Love whatever you want. You will finally be separated from it. Do whatever you want. You will finally encounter your deeds. A believer’s honor is in his night prayers and his glory is in not bothering the people.”
