Hadith 535
۞
Hadith.535 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) entered the graveyard, He said:
"O’ inhabitants of the earth and estranged ones! As for your homes, they have been inhabited; As for your spouses, they have remarried; And as for your wealth, it has been divided. This is the news from our side ; if only I knew what news you have."
Then he turned to his companions and said:
"If they were permitted to respond, they would say, 'Indeed, the best provision is taqwā (God-consciousness).'"
535 - وَقَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمَّا دَخَلَ اَلْمَقَابِرَ «يَا أَهْلَ اَلتُّرْبَةِ وَ يَا أَهْلَ اَلْغُرْبَةِ أَمَّا اَلدُّورُ فَقَدْ سُكِنَتْ وَ أَمَّا اَلْأَزْوَاجُ فَقَدْ نُكِحَتْ وَ أَمَّا اَلْأَمْوَالُ فَقَدْ قُسِمَتْ، فَهَذَا خَبَرُ مَا عِنْدَنَا وَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي مَا عِنْدَكُمْ» ثُمَّ اِلْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَقَالَ «لَوْ أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي اَلْجَوَابِ لَقَالُوا إِنَّ «خَيْرَ اَلزّٰادِ اَلتَّقْوىٰ» »
