exalts him without a clan. "O Hisham, the truth has been found for the obedience to Allah; no
salvation except with obedience; obedience is through knowledge; knowledge is through learning;
learning becomes firm and strong through reason; no knowledge except from a divine scholar; the
knowledge of science is through reason.
" O Hisham, little work from a scholar is doubly accepted; much work from the men of low desire
and ignorance is refused." Imam Musa, peace be on him, means that little work performed by a
scholar is accepted; the reason for that is that knowledge clarifies hearts, purifies souls and makes
man know Allah, the Exalted.
And the excellence of every deed is equal to its effect on clarifying the heart, removing veils and
darkness from the soul; it is different according to persons. Perhaps little work is enough for
clarifying a person's soul due to his gentle nature and his thin veils. Perhaps the good deeds that
issue from a person has no effect on clearing the soul of the person himself due to his rude nature
and the thick veils covering his soul.
Imam Musa, peace be on him, has said: "O Hisham, most surely, the sane is satisfied with the
small thing of the world along with wisdom and is not satisfied with a little thing of wisdom along
with the world, so his bargain brings gain. "O Hisham, most surely, the sane leave the surplus of
the world; just imagine how much more sins are! Renouncing the world is of excellence; giving up
sins is of (the religious) duty." He, peace be on him, has said: "O Hisham, most surely, the sane
carefully consider the world and its inhabitants and come to know that it cannot be attained
except through hardship. They carefully consider the hereafter and come to know that it cannot
be obtained except through hardship, so they seek through hardship the more permanent one.
"O Hisham, most surely, the sane turn away from the world and desire for the hereafter, for they
know that the world is a requester and in request; the hereafter is a requester and in request. So
whoever requests the hereafter, the world requests him till he takes his livelihood in full from it;
whoever requests the world, the hereafter requests him and death comes to him and spoils his
life in this world and in the next." As for explaining the statement of the Imam, peace be on him:
"The world is a requester and in request," it is that the world delivers the apportioned livelihood
to those who are in it; in this meaning it is a requester. As for that it is in request, it is that its
inhabitants strive to attain the boons wherein. As for that the hereafter is a requester, it is that
death comes and the inevitable fixed term happens to all those who are in the world, so it
requests them in order to carry them from the world to it. As for that the hereafter is in request, it
is that its righteous inhabitants strive to perform good deeds, that they may be safe from the
punishment and the censure.
The Imam, peace be on him, has said: "O Hisham, whoever wants riches with out money, the rest
of the heart of envy, and safety in religion, then he should implore Allah, the Great and Almighty,
