5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Faddalah ibn Ayyub from ‘Umar ibn Aban and Sayf ibn abu ‘Amirah from Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following
“Once I went to see Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) in his illness that he endured and nothing was left of him except his head (due to weakness). The Imam said, I very often O Fudayl, say, ‘A man to whom Allah grants belief in this cause (our Divine Authority) will have no trouble even if he were to live on a mountain until the coming of his death. O Fudayl ibn Yasar, people took to the right and left, but our Shi’a (followers) and we found guidance in the right path. O Fudayl ibn Yasar, for a believer it (belief) is better than his having all that is between the East and West. It (belief) is better for him even if he is cut in pieces. O Fudayl ibn Yasar, Allah does not do anything to believers except what is best for them. O Fudayl ibn Yasar, had the world been worth the wing of a fly, Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, would not have allowed His enemies to drink even a drop of water from it. O Fudayl ibn Yasar, whoever finds one goal (the true belief) Allah suffices him in all other goals (affairs), however, one who has a goal in every valley Allah will be concerned the least where he may perish.’”
5ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ وَسَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي مَرْضَةٍ مَرِضَهَا لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُ إِلا رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ يَا فُضَيْلُ إِنَّنِي كَثِيراً مَا أَقُولُ مَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَرَّفَهُ الله هَذَا الأمْرَ لَوْ كَانَ فِي رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمَوْتُ يَا فُضَيْلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ إِنَّ النَّاسَ أَخَذُوا يَمِيناً وَشِمَالاً وَإِنَّا وَشِيعَتَنَا هُدِينَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ يَا فُضَيْلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَوْ أَصْبَحَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ خَيْراً لَهُ وَلَوْ أَصْبَحَ مُقَطَّعاً أَعْضَاؤُهُ كَانَ ذَلِكَ خَيْراً لَهُ يَا فُضَيْلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ إِنَّ الله لا يَفْعَلُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ إِلا مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ يَا فُضَيْلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ لَوْ عَدَلَتِ الدُّنْيَا عِنْدَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ مَا سَقَى عَدُوَّهُ مِنْهَا شَرْبَةَ مَاءٍ يَا فُضَيْلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ إِنَّهُ مَنْ كَانَ هَمُّهُ هَمّاً وَاحِداً كَفَاهُ الله هَمَّهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ هَمُّهُ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ لَمْ يُبَالِ الله بِأَيِّ وَادٍ هَلَكَ.
