2. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from Jamil ibn Salih from Burayd ibn Mu’awiyah from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following
“We have found in the book of Ali (a.s.) that the Messenger of Allah said from the pulpit, ‘I swear by the One besides Whom no one else deserves to be worshipped, a believer never receives any good in this life and in the hereafter, except because of his hopefulness toward Allah, his confidence in Allah, his good moral behavior and his abstaining from backbiting the believers. I swear by the One besides Whom no one else deserves to be worshipped, Allah does not punish a believer after his repenting and asking forgiveness except because of his despair toward Allah, his shortcoming in his hope from Allah, his bad moral behaviors and his backbiting of the believers. I swear by the One besides Whom no one else deserves to be worshipped that, hope of a believer does not exist without Allah running his affairs according to the hopeful intentions of the believer. It is because nobility is of the attributes of Allah; in His hand is all good, and He considers Himself indebted toward His believing servants, who are hopeful about Him, not to allow their hope remain fruitless. Therefore, be hopeful about Allah and be interested with Him.’”
2ـ ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ وَالَّذِي لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ مَا أُعْطِيَ مُؤْمِنٌ قَطُّ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ إِلا بِحُسْنِ ظَنِّهِ بِالله وَرَجَائِهِ لَهُ وَحُسْنِ خُلُقِهِ وَالْكَفِّ عَنِ اغْتِيَابِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالَّذِي لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ لا يُعَذِّبُ الله مُؤْمِناً بَعْدَ التَّوْبَةِ وَالإسْتِغْفَارِ إِلا بِسُوءِ ظَنِّهِ بِالله وَتَقْصِيرِهِ مِنْ رَجَائِهِ وَسُوءِ خُلُقِهِ وَاغْتِيَابِهِ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالَّذِي لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ لا يَحْسُنُ ظَنُّ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ بِالله إِلا كَانَ الله عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ لأنَّ الله كَرِيمٌ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرَاتُ يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْدُهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِهِ الظَّنَّ ثُمَّ يُخْلِفَ ظَنَّهُ وَرَجَاءَهُ فَأَحْسِنُوا بِالله الظَّنَّ وَارْغَبُوا إِلَيْهِ.
