حدثنا أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن نصر البخاري المقري قال: حدثنا أبو عبد الله الكوفي العلوي الفقيه بفرغانة بإسناد متصل إلى الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام أنه سئل عن قول الله عز وجل: " ثم أورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات بإذن الله " فقال: الظالم يحوم حوم نفسه، والمقتصد يحوم حوم قلبه، والسابق يحوم حوم ربه عز وجل.

1. We were told by Abu Ja’far, Muhammed bin Ali bin Nasr al-Bukhari al-Maqarri, that he said: We were told by Abu Abdillah al-Kufi al-Alawi, the Jurist, in Fergana, with a chain that connects to al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, that he was asked about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Then, We made the Book an inheritance to those whom We Chose from Our servants. And among them was the one who wronged himself, and among them was a moderate, and among them was a forerunner good deeds by the permission of Allah» (35:32) So he said: The wrongdoer goes around his own surrounding, the moderate goes around the surrounding of his heart and the forerunner goes around the surrounding of his Lord, Exalted and Glorious is He.
