23. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from those whom has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“It was said to Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) ‘Instinct us briefly with good advice.’ He then said, ‘For the lawful things of the world there is accountability and for the unlawful things of the world there is torment. How can you have comfort without following the traditions of your prophet? You seek what takes you to transgression and you do not agree with what is sufficient for you.’”
23ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قِيلَ لأمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عِظْنَا وَأَوْجِزْ فَقَالَ الدُّنْيَا حَلالُهَا حِسَابٌ وَحَرَامُهَا عِقَابٌ وَأَنَّى لَكُمْ بِالرَّوْحِ وَلَمَّا تَأَسَّوْا بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ مَا يُطْغِيكُمْ وَلا تَرْضَوْنَ مَا يَكْفِيكُمْ.
