![The intelligent person is one
who does not waste his [time and] energy in that which does not benefit him, and does not [strive to] acquire that which will
not accompany him [after his death]. (H. 6718)
Verily when Allah, the Glorified, wishes good for a
servant, He grants him success in spending his lifetime doing the best deeds and blesses him with the ability to quickly use his available time to perform acts of worship, before [the coming of] his death. (H.10597)
One who is certain of the [eventual] departure [from this world] prepares for the journey. (H.9533)](https://enlighteninginspirations.ir/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2a.-Ahadith-Death-1024x663.png)
![Janabe Fatimah (sa) has said: “What good is there in fasting for the one who fasts if he does not restrain his tongue, his ears, his eyes and his limbs [from that which is forbidden]?”](https://enlighteninginspirations.ir/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Ahaadith-from-Janabe-Fatimah-sa-2a-791x1024.png)
![No vision can encompass Him, but He encompasses all vision ... (Q6:103)
I replied, “Of course.” Then he asked: “Do you all know what
al-Absār are?” I replied, “Of course.” Then he asked: “What are they?” I replied, “They are Absār meaning ‘eyes’.” He said, “The mind in your heart is more powerful than the eyes [with which you see]. Thus it is minds that cannot behold him, while He
beholds minds.”
To guide Abu Hashim to the hidden meaning of the verse above, Imam al-Ridha (a) first asks him what he understands from the verse. It is worth mentioning that the word Absār here refers to ‘minds’ . Since ‘minds’ which are our most powerful faculty for knowing, cannot behold Him, thus, we cannot truly describe Him.
