٢ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَذلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ الله أَعْمالَهُمْ حَسَراتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَعُ مَالَهُ لا يُنْفِقُهُ فِي طَاعَةِ الله بُخْلاً ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ فَيَدَعُهُ لِمَنْ يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ بِطَاعَةِ الله أَوْ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الله فَإِنْ عَمِلَ بِهِ فِي طَاعَةِ الله رَآهُ فِي مِيزَانِ غَيْرِهِ فَرَآهُ حَسْرَةً وَقَدْ كَانَ الْمَالُ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَمِلَ بِهِ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الله قَوَّاهُ بِذَلِكَ الْمَالِ حَتَّى عَمِلَ بِهِ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
2. Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “This is about the meaning of the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, Thus Allah shows them their deeds that will make them regretful. (2:162)’ Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, This is a man who keeps his property without spending in obedience to Allah due to his stinginess. He then dies and leaves it (the property) for one who spends it in obedience to Allah or in disobedience of Allah. If it is spent in obedience of Allah and finds it in the balance of the other person, he then becomes regretful; it was his property. If it is spent in disobedience of Allah, he is the one who enabled the spender through that property to disobey Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.’”
