traduza o texto completamente e perfeitamente para o portugues Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) says that Allah sent two angels to the
earth. They met each other halfway to the destination. One asked the
248other why Allah had sent him to the earth? The other asked the first,
why he has been sent? The first angel said, “In Babel a sinner has wished
to have fish. I have been ordered to snare the fish towards the net of the
fisherman in the Babel Sea so that the wish of that cruel person is fulfilled and he gets his heart’s fill of whatever he wants in this world
only.” Then he asked the second angel, “what is your errand?” The
second angel said, “I have been ordered to perform a very unusual task!
A pious momin keeps himself busy in prayer the whole night and fasts
during the days. His piety is the subject of adulation amongst the inmates of the Firmament! At this moment he has put a pot on the fire to
cook his broth for breaking the fast. I have to go and turn that pot over.
The purpose is that the momin gets closer to Allah from more hardship
caused to him!”
Samaa Ravi narrates that a person went to Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) and
complained of his penury and hardship. The Imam (a.s) said, “Be patient! Allah shall soon give you relief!” After a while it was known that
the person was an inmate of the gaol at Kufa. He said, “I have been incarcerated in a very narrow and stinking cell. “The Imam (a.s) said, “The
world for a momin is like a gaol. Then why do you crave for comfort and
happiness. There are also people in this world who Allah deprives of the
comforts that He sends for them. Whatever hardship comes, it comes to
them!” Then the Imam (a.s) added, “Ourselves, you and all our Shias are
for facing hardships day and night!”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) said, “When Allah holds a person dear,
gives him a plunge into the river of hardship. When he prays, Allah says,
‘O My creature! What you have asked for, I am Omnipotent to bestow on
you! I can give you more than you have asked for! But the rewards and
Bounties that I have in store for you are far better than all the pleasures
of the world!’”
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) says that a momin doesn’t spend forty days
when a new difficulty does not confront him. In fact, he is not a momin
who is free of all worldly difficulties!
The Imam (a.s) said: A person invited the Prophet (a.s) over a meal.
When the fare was laid in the courtyard of the house, the Prophet (a.s)
looked towards the wall of the house. He noticed a pigeon has laid an
egg that was resting on the top of the wall. And thus was saved. He told
to the host, “Your pigeon has laid an egg that is lying safely on the top of
the wall!” The man said, “O Allah’s Prophet (a.s)! What is there to be
surprised about that? I swear by the Creator, Allah, that in my entire life
I have not suffered any loss!” When the Prophet (a.s) heard this, he got
249up and said, “I cannot share a meal with a person who has never
suffered any loss whatsoever during his entire life! I do this because you
have no contact with Allah and you don’t possess any quality. A momin,
even if he is comparatively comfortable in the world, will be in difficulty when
compared with the comforts he would enjoy in the Hereafter! Even if a momin
is given the entire world, the status that awaits him in the Hereafter is far
superior to what is available to him in this life! In comparison this world
is like the Hell for a momin. Similarly if an infidel is involved in all the
worldly hardships, his life here will be like living in the heaven when
compared with the hardships that he would bear in the Hereafter.”
Imam Hassan (a.s), attired in expensive raiment, was riding along on a
horse accompanied by his companions on steeds too! On the way an old
Jewish woodcutter met him and said, “O son of the Prophet (a.s)! Your
ancestor said that the world is Hell for the momin and heaven for the kafir.
I see that you are astride a grand Arab steed wearing expensive garments. You are enjoying comforts and I am living in sheer penury!” The
Imam (a.s) replied, “If you witness my status and condition in the Hereafter, you will realize that this world is worst than a jail for me! If you
witness your own position in the Hereafter, you would think that this
life is like enjoying the comforts of the Heaven!”
