In Uyun Akhbar al-Reza it is narrated that Imam Reza (a.s) said
“God revealed the following to one of His Prophets: When you leave the house in the morning, eat the first thing that you encounter, hide the second thing, accept the third thing, do not disappoint the fourth and escape from the fifth. When he first left the house in the morning, he encountered a big black mountain. He said to himself that God had ordered him to eat it, and wondered how to do it. He then thought that God would not order him to do what was beyond his power. So he moved towards the mountain. The closer he got to the mountain, the smaller it became. When he finally reached it, it had turned into a small bite to eat. He ate it, and it was really delicious. He continued to go on until he reached a golden pan. He said to himself that God had ordered him to hide it. He dug a ditch, threw the golden pan in the ditch, covered it up with dirt, and started to go on his way again. But then he noticed that the pan was visible out of the ground. He said to himself that he had done what God had ordered him to and continued to go on. Then he suddenly saw a bird being pursued by a falcon trying to hunt it. The falcon was flying around the bird. The Prophet remembered that God had ordered him to accept this one. He opened his sleeve, and the bird entered it. The falcon told the Prophet (a.s): You have caught the prey that I was after for a few days. Then he remembered that God had ordered him not to disappoint this one. Then he cut a piece of the bird's leg and threw it to the falcon. He continued to go on, and saw a piece of rotten meat. He remembered that God had ordered him to escape this one, and he escaped from it. When he returned home and went to sleep, he had a dream. He was told: “You performed your mission, and did whatever you were instructed to do. Do you know what the philosophy behind all these issues is?” He said: “No.” He was told: “That mountain was anger. Whenever one gets angry, he does not see himself and does not realize his situation. If he restrains himself, recognizes his position and quenches his anger, the end is like a delicious bite which he eats. The golden pan is indeed man's good deeds which are better to hide, but God will make them apparent so that he is adorned by them, and he receives the reward in the Hereafter. But the bird is like a man who advises you, and you should accept his advice. The falcon is like a man who comes to you and asks you to fulfill his needs. You should not disappoint him. The rotten meat is like gossip which you should avoid.”
من كتاب عيون الأخبار: عن علي بن موسى الرضا (عليه السلام) قال
أوحى الله عز وجل إلى نبي من أنبيائه: إذا أصبحت فأول شئ يستقبلك فكله، والثاني فاكتمه، والثالث فاقبله، والرابع فلا تؤيسه، والخامس فاهرب منه. قال: فلما أصبح مضى فاستقبله جبل أسود عظيم فوقف وقال: أمرني ربي عز وجل أن آكل هذا، وبقي متحيرا، ثم رجع إلى نفسه فقال: إن ربي جل جلاله لا يأمرني إلا بما أطيق، فمشى إليه ليأكله فكلما دنا منه صغر حتى انتهى إليه فوجده لقمة فأكلها فوجدها أطيب شئ أكله، ثم مضى فوجد طستا من ذهب فقال: أمرني ربي أن أكتم هذا فحفر له حفرة وجعله فيها وألقى عليه التراب، ثم مضى فالتفت فإذا الطست قد ظهر، قال: قد فعلت ما أمرني ربي عز وجل، فمضى فإذا هو بطير وخلفه بازي فطاف الطير حوله، فقال: أمرني ربي أن أقبل هذا، ففتح كمه فدخل الطير فيه، فقال له البازي: أخذت صيدي وأنا خلفه منذ أيام، فقال: إن ربي أمرني أن لا أويس هذا، فقطع من فخذه قطعة فألقاها إليه، ثم مضى فلما مضى فإذا هو بلحم ميتة منتن مدود، فقال: أمرني ربي أن أهرب من هذا، فهرب منه. ورجع ورأي في المنام كأنه قد قيل له: إنك قد فعلت ما أمرت به، فهل تدري ما ذاك كان؟ قال: لا، قيل له: أما الجبل فهو الغضب، إن العبد إذا غضب لم ير نفسه وجهل قدره من عظم الغضب، فإذا حفظ نفسه وعرف قدره وسكن غضبه كانت عاقبته كاللقمة الطيبة التي أكلها، وأما الطست فهو العمل الصالح إذا كتمه العبد وأخفاه، أبى الله إلا أن يظهره ليزينه به مع ما ادخر له من ثواب الآخرة، وأما الطير فهو الرجل الذي يأتيك بنصيحة فاقبله واقبل نصيحته، وأما البازي فهو الرجل الذي يأتيك في حاجة فلا تؤيسه، وأما اللحم المنتن فهو الغيبة فاهرب منها.
