6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy from a man whom he has mentioned from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Qasim al-Ja’fariy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The world tried to attract a people with purely lawful matters but they passed (without paying any attention) away. Then it tried to attract another people with lawful and doubtful matters and they said, “We do not need any doubtful matters.” However, they expanded the lawful matters. It then tried to attract another people with unlawful and doubtful matters. They said, “We do not need unlawful matters.” However, they expanded the doubtful matters. It then tried to attract another people with unlawful matters only, and they seek to achieve it but they cannot find. The believing people in this world eat like one living through emergencies.’”
6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَمَّاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
تَشَوَّفَتِ الدُّنْيَا لِقَوْمٍ حَلالا مَحْضاً فَلَمْ يُرِيدُوهَا فَدَرَجُوا ثُمَّ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِقَوْمٍ حَلالا وَشُبْهَةً فَقَالُوا لا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي الشُّبْهَةِ وَتَوَسَّعُوا مِنَ الْحَلالِ ثُمَّ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِقَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ حَرَاماً وَشُبْهَةً فَقَالُوا لا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي الْحَرَامِ وَتَوَسَّعُوا فِي الشُّبْهَةِ ثُمَّ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِقَوْمٍ حَرَاماً مَحْضاً فَيَطْلُبُونَهَا فَلا يَجِدُونَهَا وَالْمُؤْمِنُ فِي الدُّنْيَا يَأْكُلُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّ.
