1911. THE SIGNS OF A PERSON OF CONVICTION

6835.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : أمّا عَلامَةُ المُوقِنِ فَسِتَّةٌ : أيْقَنَ باللَّهِ حَقّاً فآمَنَ بهِ ، وأيقَنَ بأنّ المَوتَ حقٌّ فحَذِرَهُ ، وأيقَنَ بأنّ البَعثَ حَقٌّ فخافَ الفَضيحَةَ ، وأيقَنَ بأنّ الجَنّةَ حَقٌّ فاشتاقَ إلَيها ، وأيقَنَ بأنّ النّارَ حَقٌّ فظَهَرَ سَعيُهُ لِلنَّجاةِ مِنها ، وأيقَنَ بأنّ الحِسابَ حَقٌّ فحاسَبَ نَفسَهُ .¹

6835.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'There are six signs of a person of conviction: he has truly attained conviction in Allah and believed in Him, he is convinced that death is true and he is wary of it, he is convinced that Resurrection is true and he fears shame , he is convinced that Heaven is true and he longs for it, he is convinced that Hell is true and his endeavour is apparent in his wanting to be saved from it, he is convinced that the Account is true and so he takes account of himself.' ²

6836.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : يُستَدَلُّ علَى اليَقينِ بِقِصَرِ الأملِ ، وإخلاصِ العَملِ ، والزُّهدِ في الدُّنيا .³

6836.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Conviction can be proved by the shortening of one's expectations, sincerity in one's actions, and abstention from worldliness.' ⁴

6837.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : مَن أيقَنَ أنّهُ يُفارِقُ الأحبابَ ، ويَسكُنُ التُّرابَ ، ويُواجِهُ الحِسابَ ، ويَستَغني عَمّا خَلَّفَ ، ويَفتَقِرُ إلى‏ ما قَدَّمَ ، كانَ حَرِيّاً بِقِصَرِ الأمَلِ ، وطُولِ العَمَلِ .⁵

6837.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Whoever has conviction in that he will depart from his loved ones, will dwell in the earth, be faced with the Account, be in no need for what he has left behind but be in need of what he has sent forth, is worthy of having short expectations and lengthy deeds.' ⁶

6838.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : مَن تَيَقَّنَ أنّ اللَّهَ سبحانَهُ يَراهُ وهُو يَعمَلُ بِمَعاصيهِ فَقَد جَعَلَهُ أهوَنَ النّاظِرينَ .⁷

6838.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Whoever has conviction that Allah sees him while he continues to commit sins, then he has considered Him the most insignificant of onlookers.' ⁸
