3 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدِ بْنِعَبْدِ اللَّه، عَن إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ هاشِم، عَن عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ المغيرة قالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الحَسَن الرِّضا a.sُ يَقُولُ:إنّكَ فِي دَارٍ لَهَا مُدَّةٌأَلا تَرَى الْمَوْتَ مُحِيطاً بِهَاتُعَجِّلُ الْذَّنْبَ لِمَا تَشْتَهِيوَالْمَوْتُ يَأْتِي أَهْلَهُ بَغْتَةًيُقْبَلُ فِيهَا عَمَلُ العَامِلِيَكْذِبُ فِيهَا أَمَلُ الآمِلِوَتَأْمَلُ التَّوْبَةَ فِي قَابِلِمَا ذَاكَ فِعْلُ الْحَازِمِ الْعَاقِلِ

43-3 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mogheera that he had heard Abal Hassan Ar-Ridha’ say: Now you live in a residence short-lived in which your deeds are accepted indeed. See you not how death encompasses us all and destroys our aspirations all. There you rush to fulfill your lustful desires and procrastinate your repentance but death will overcome you by surprise but what will the intelligent learn from this?
