1044 - الشَّقِيُّ شَقِيٌّ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ
1044. THE WRETCHED ONE WAS WRETCHED AS A FOETUS IN HIS MOTHER'S WOMB
3308.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : السَّعيدُ مَن سَعِدَ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ ، والشَّقِيُّ مَن شَقِيَ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ .1
3308.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The prosperous one is he who prospered from when he was in his mother's womb, and the wretched one is he who was wretched from when he was in his mother's womb.' 2
3309.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّ اللَّهَ عَزَّوجلَّ خَلَقَ السَّعادَةَ والشَّقاوَةَ قَبلَ أن يَخلُقَ خَلْقَهُ ، فَمَن عَلِمَهُ اللَّهُ سَعيداً لَم يُبغِضْهُ أبَداً ، وإن عَمِلَ شَرّاً أبغَضَ عَمَلَهُ ولَم يُبغِضْهُ ، وإن كانَ عَلِمَهُ شَقِيّاً لَم يُحِبَّهُ أبداً ، وإن عَمِلَ صالحاً أحَبَّ عَمَلَهُ وأبغَضَهُ لِما يَصِيرُ إلَيهِ .3
3309.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, created prosperity and wretchedness before He even created His creation. So whoever Allah knows will be prosperous, He will never despise, and even when he commits an evil deed, He will despise the deed but not the person. And if He knows that someone will be wretched, He will never love him, and even when he performs a good deed, He will love the deed but despise the person because of what he is to become.' 4
3310.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّ اللَّهَ تباركَ وتعالى يَنقُلُ العَبدَ مِنَ الشَّقاءِ إلى السَّعادَةِ ، ولا يَنقُلُهُ مِن السَّعادةِ إلى الشَّقاءِ .5
3310.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily Allah, Blessed and most High, may transfer a servant from wretchedness to prosperity, but He never transfers anyone from prosperity to wretchedness.' 6
3311.التوحيد عن محمّدَ بنِ أبي عُمَيرٍ : سَألتُ أبا الحسنِ موسى بنِ جَعفرٍ عليهما السلام عَن معنى قولِ رَسول اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: «الشَّقِيُّ مَن شَقِيَ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ ، والسَّعيدُ مَن سَعِدَ في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ» ، فقالَ : الشَّقِيُّ مَن عَلِمَ اللَّهُ وهُو في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ أ نّهُ سَيَعمَلُ أعمالَ الأشقِياءِ ، والسَّعيدُ مَن عَلِمَ اللَّهُ وهُو في بَطنِ اُمِّهِ أ نّهُ سَيَعمَلُ أعمالَ السُّعَداءِ.7
3311. Imam al-Kazim (AS) was once asked by Ibn Abi 'Umayr about the Prophet (SAWA)'s saying, 'The prosperous one is he who prospered from when he was in his mother's womb, and the wretched one is he who was wretched from when he was in his mother's womb', to which he replied, 'The wretched one is he who, from when he was in his mother's womb, Allah knew would commit acts characteristic of wretched people, and the prosperous one is he who, from when he was in his mother's womb, Allah knew would perform acts characteristic of prosperous people.' 8
