Umar ibn Mufaz'zal narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked him: “Will you be away from your family for a long time?” Umar said
“Yes.” The Imam (a.s) asked: “Where will you go?” Umar replied: “I will go to Ahwaz and Fars.” The Imam (a.s) asked: “Why are you going there?” Umar replied: “I will go there for trade to earn my daily bread.” The Imam (a.s) said: “Then whenever you cannot obtain what you are after from the material things in this world, remember the One who made our religion specifically for you, and did not grant it to others. Then it is best for you to calm yourself and not worry about what you did not obtain.”
عن عمر بن مفضل قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): تطيل الغيبة عن أهلك؟ قلت: نعم، قال: أين؟ قلت: الأهواز وفارس، قال: فيم؟ قلت: في طلب الدنيا والتجارة والرزق، قال: فانظر إذا طلبت منها شيئا فنروي عنك، فاذكر الذي اختصك به من دينه ومن به عليك مما صرفه عن غيرك، فإن ذلك أحرى أن تسخو نفسك مما فاتك من الدنيا.
