أَخْبَرَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ صَاحِبِ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ مِنْ كَلَامِ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ :" تَعْمَلُونَ لِلدُّنْيَا، وَأَنْتُمْ تُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ، وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ لِلْآخِرَةِ، وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا إِلَّا بِالْعَمَلِ، ويْلَكُمْ عُلَمَاءَ السَّوْءِ : الْأَجْرَ تَأْخُذُونَ، وَالْعَمَلَ تُضَيِّعُونَ، يُوشِكُ رَبُّ الْعَمَلِ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ عَمَلَهُ، وَتُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْ الدُّنْيَا الْعَرِيضَةِ إِلَى ظُلْمَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَضِيقِهِ، اللَّهُ يَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ الْخَطَايَا، كَمَا أَمَرَكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالصِّيَامِ، كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ سَخِطَ رِزْقَهُ، وَاحْتَقَرَ مَنْزِلَتَهُ، وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ؟ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ اتَّهَمَ اللَّهَ فِيمَا قَضَى لَهُ، فَلَيْسَ يَرْضَى شَيْئًا أَصَابَهُ؟ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ دُنْيَاهُ آثَرُ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ آخِرَتِهِ، وَهُوَ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَفْضَلُ رَغْبَةً؟ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ مَصِيرُهُ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِ، وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى دُنْيَاهُ، وَمَا يَضُرُّهُ أَشْهَى إِلَيْهِ، أَوْ قَالَ : أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا يَنْفَعُهُ؟ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ الْكَلَامَ لِيُخْبِرَ بِهِ، وَلَا يَطْلُبُهُ لِيَعْمَلَ بِهِ؟ "

Saad bin Amer told us, on the authority of Hisham, the companion of Al-Dastawa’i, who said: I read in a book and I was informed that from the words of Jesus, peace be upon him: “You do For this world, and you are provided for therein without work, and you do not work for the Hereafter, and you are not provided for therein except by work. Woe to you, scholars The bad: you receive the reward, and you waste the work, the employer is about to ask for his work, and you are about to leave the vast world for The darkness and narrowness of the grave. God forbids you from sins, just as He commanded you to pray and fast. How can one of the people of knowledge be displeased? His provision, and he despised his status, knowing that this was from God’s knowledge and power. How can he be one of the people of knowledge who accuses God of what He has decreed? For him, he is not satisfied with anything that has befallen him. How can he be among the people of knowledge whose worldly life is more important to him than his hereafter, while his desire in this world is better? How can he be one of the people of knowledge from his destiny to the afterlife, while he is heading to this world, and what harms him is more desirable to him, or he said: more beloved to him? What is the benefit to him? How can one be among the people of knowledge who seeks words in order to be informed of them, but does not seek them in order to act upon them? "
