٩ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِمَّا حُفِظَ مِنْ خُطَبِ النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ لَكُمْ مَعَالِمَ فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى مَعَالِمِكُمْ وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ نِهَايَةً فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى نِهَايَتِكُمْ أَلا إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ مَخَافَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ أَجَلٍ قَدْ مَضَى لا يَدْرِي مَا الله صَانِعٌ فِيهِ وَبَيْنَ أَجَلٍ قَدْ بَقِيَ لا يَدْرِي مَا الله قَاضٍ فِيهِ فَلْيَأْخُذِ الْعَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْ دُنْيَاهُ لآِخِرَتِهِ وَفِي الشَّبِيبَةِ قَبْلَ الْكِبَرِ وَفِي الْحَيَاةِ قَبْلَ الْمَمَاتِ فَوَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا بَعْدَ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ مُسْتَعْتَبٍ وَمَا بَعْدَهَا مِنْ دَارٍ إِلا الْجَنَّةُ أَوِ النَّارُ.
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Hamza ibn Humran who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah  saying, ‘Of the preserved speeches of the Holy Prophet one is his words as follows: “O people, for you there are the sources of knowledge. You must reach out to them. For you there are the end goals and you must reach them. You must know that a believer works between two frightening facts. On one side is the time that has passed and he does not know what Allah has done about it, and on the other is the time to come that he does not know how Allah will decide about. The believing servant (of Allah) must take from hisown soul for hisown soul and from his worldly life for his hereafter, during his youth before his getting old and in his lifetime before his death. I swear by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad that after the worldly life there will be no chance to please anyone and there will be no other home except paradise or hell.’”
