The Sufficient (Vol 8) · Hadith 450 (#Ḥadīth #1)

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الْجَرِيرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ عَنْتَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ وَ شَبَّكَ أَصَابِعَهُ بَعْضَهَا فِي بَعْضٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَفَرَّجِي تَضَيَّقِي وَ تَضَيَّقِي تَفَرَّجِي ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلَكَتِ الْمَحَاضِيرُ وَ نَجَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ ثَبَتَ الْحَصَى عَلَى أَوْتَادِهِمْ أُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ قَسَماً حَقّاً إِنَّ بَعْدَ الْغَمِّ فَتْحاً عَجَباً.

450. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Hashim, from Sufyan Al-Jariry, from Abu Maryam Al-Ansary, from Haroun Bin Antara, from his father who said: I heard Amir-ul- Momineen again and again, and he was saying with his fingers clasped at each other: ‘My ease is my constraint, and my constraint is my ease’. Then said; ‘Destroyed are the expectants who expect it now, and rescued are the expectants who expect it soon and are steadfast upon their pegs. I swear by Allah (azwj) by a true oath that after the grief would be a wonderful victory (Al-Qaim )’.
