The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 35 (#Ḥadīth #3)

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كَانَ يَقُولُ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَخْلَصَ لله الْعِبَادَةَ وَالدُّعَاءَ وَلَمْ يَشْغَلْ قَلْبَهُ بِمَا تَرَى عَيْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَنْسَ ذِكْرَ الله بِمَا تَسْمَعُ أُذُنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَحْزُنْ صَدْرَهُ بِمَا أُعْطِيَ غَيْرُهُ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from abu al-Hassan al-Rada who has said the following: “Amir al Mu’minin has said, ‘Paradise is for those who maintain sincerity in worshipping Allah and in prayer to Him. Whatever they see does not occupy their heart. Whatever they hear does not make them forget to speak of Allah and they do not feel depressed because of what is given to others.’”
