تِجارَةُ الآخِرَةِ The Trade Of The Hereafter

28ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): كلُّ ما أبْصَرْتَهُ بعَينِكَ واسْتَحْلاهُ قلبُكَ فاجعَلْهُ للّه‏ِ، فذلكَ تِجارةُ الآخِرَةِ، لأنَّ اللّه‏َ يقولُ: «ما عِندَكُم يَنْفَدُ وماعِندَ اللّه‏ِ باقٍ».

28- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘All that you see with your own eye and that your heart finds pleasing, make it for Allah, for this is the trade of the Hereafter. Allah says, “What is with you depletes, while what is with Allah is eternal”.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 106, no. 1]
 

29ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): تاجِرُ الدُّنيا مُخاطِرٌ بنفسِهِ ومالِهِ، وتاجِرُ الآخِرَةِ غانِمٌ رابِحٌ، وأوَّلُ رِبْحهِ نَفسُهُ ثُمَّ جَنّةُ المَأوى.

29– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The merchant of this world risks his money and and his soul, while the merchant of the Hereafter is a profiting winner: his first profit is his soul and then the eternal Paradise.’[Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 2, p. 120]
 

30ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تِجارَةَ كالعَملِ الصّالحِ، ولا رِبحَ كالثَّوابِ.

30- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘There is no [goods for] trade like good deeds, and no profit like the [divine] reward.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 69, p. 409, no. 122]
 

31ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أربَحُ النّاسِ منِ اشْتَرى بالدُّنيا الآخِرَةَ.

31- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The most profiting, among people, is the one who buys the Hereafter at the expense of this world.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 3076]
 

32ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ مَن باعَ نَفسَهُ بغيرِ الجَنّةِ فقد عَظُمَتْ علَيهِ المِحْنةُ.

32- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Whoever sells himself for [a price] less than Paradise, his ordeal is indeed severe.’[Ibid. no. 3474]
 

33ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَنِ اتَّخَذَ طاعةَ اللّه‏ِ بِضاعةً‏أتَتْهُ الأرْباحُ مِن غيرِ تِجارةٍ .

33- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Whoever takes the obedience of Allah as a commodity will see profits without even trading.’[Ibid. no. 8864]
