«9»- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام الْوَرَّاقُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَهْرَوَيْهِ ١ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْغَازِي عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الدُّنْيَا كُلُّهَا جَهْلٌ إِلَّا مَوَاضِعَ الْعِلْمِ وَ الْعِلْمُ كُلُّهُ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا مَا عُمِلَ بِهِ وَ الْعَمَلُ كُلُّهُ رِيَاءٌ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مُخْلَصاً وَ الْإِخْلَاصُ عَلَى خَطَرٍ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ الْعَبْدُ بِمَا يُخْتَمُ لَهُ.

'Uyun Akhbar al-Rida: Dawud b. Sulayman said: Imam al-Rida, peace be upon him, related from his forefathers, from the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon them: This world is all ignorance save the places of knowledge; and knowledge — all of it — is a proof against a man save what is acted upon; and action — all of it — is ostentation save what is done sincerely; and sincerity too is in peril until a man sees what the end and outcome of his affair will be.

يد، التوحيد محمد بن عمرو بن علي البصري عن علي بن الحسن المثنى عن ابن مهرويه مثله بيان لعل المراد بمواضع العلم الأنبياء و الأئمة و من أخذ عنهم العلم.

Al-Tawhid: Muhammad b. 'Amr, from Ibn Mahrawayh, the like of it. Perhaps by "the places of knowledge" are meant the prophets and the Imams and those who take knowledge from them.

Amali of al-Shaykh al-Tusi: Ibn Ziyad said: I heard Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, being asked about the verse "Say: To God belongs the conclusive proof." He said: On the Day of Resurrection God, exalted, says to His servant: My servant, were you learned? If he says yes, He says: Why then did you not act upon your knowledge? And if he says: I was ignorant, God says: Why did you not learn, that you might act? So God prevails against him. That is the conclusive proof.

بيان: قوله فيخصم على البناء للمفعول يقال خاصمه فخصمه أي غلبه.

"Fa-yukhsam" is in the passive form; one says "khasamahu fa-khasamahu", that is, he prevailed over him.

Amali of al-Shaykh al-Tusi: Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: Whoever teaches knowledge for God's sake, and acts for God's sake, and learns knowledge for God's sake, is called a great man in the kingdom of the heavens. And some have said that he said: Whoever teaches knowledge for God's sake and learns it.

«12»- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي بِإِسْنَادِ أَخِي دِعْبِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِخَيْثَمَةَ أَبْلِغْ شِيعَتَنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يُنَالُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِالْعَمَلِ وَ أَبْلِغْ شِيعَتَنَا أَنَّ أَعْظَمَ النَّاسِ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ وَصَفَ عَدْلًا ثُمَّ خَالَفَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ أَبْلِغْ شِيعَتَنَا أَنَّهُمْ إِذَا قَامُوا بِمَا أُمِرُوا أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Amali of al-Shaykh al-Tusi: By the chain of the brother of Di'bil al-Khuza'i it is related that Imam Muhammad al-Taqi, peace be upon him, said to Khaythama: Tell our Shi'a that nothing with God is attained except by works; and tell our Shi'a that the most regretful of people on the Day of Resurrection is one who described justice to others and did not himself act upon it; and tell our Shi'a that when they carry out God's commands, then on the Day of Resurrection they are among the saved.

بيان: من وصف عدلا أي لغيره و لم يعمل به و يحتمل أن يكون المراد أن يقول بحقية دين و لا يعمل بما قرر فيه من الأعمال.

"Man wasafa 'adlan" means: he described justice to others and himself went against it in practice; and it may be that what is meant is that he professes the truth of a religion and does not act upon the deeds laid down in it.
