حکمت 130: ای ساکنان خانه های وحشفرا، محله های خالی · Saying 130

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): وَ قَدْ رَجَعَ مِنْ صِفِّينَ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَي الْقُبُورِ بِظَاهِرِ الْكُوفَةِ يَا أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ الْمُوحِشَةِ وَ الْمَحَالِّ الْمُقْفِرَةِ وَ الْقُبُورِ الْمُظْلِمَةِ يَا أَهْلَ التُّرْبَةِ يَا أَهْلَ الْغُرْبَةِ يَا أَهْلَ الْوَحْدَةِ يَا أَهْلَ الْوَحْشَةِ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ سَابِقٌ وَ نَحْنُ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ لَاحِقٌ أَمَّا الدُّورُ فَقَدْ سُكِنَتْ وَ أَمَّا الْأَزْوَاجُ فَقَدْ نُكِحَتْ وَ أَمَّا الْأَمْوَالُ فَقَدْ قُسِمَتْ هَذَا خَبَرُ مَا عِنْدَنَا فَمَا خَبَرُ مَا عِنْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَي أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا لَوْ أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي الْكَلَامِ لَأَخْبَرُوكُمْ أَنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَي.

When Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, returned from (the battle of) Siffin and noticed the graves outside Kufah, he said: O Residents of houses which give a sense of loneliness, of depopulated areas and gloomy graves. O People of the dust; O Victims of strangeness, O People of loneliness and O People of Desolateness! You have gone ahead and precede us while we are following you and will meet you. The houses (you left) have been inhabited by others; the wives (you left) have been married by others; the properties have been distributed (among heirs). This is the news about those around us; what is the news about things around you? Then Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, turned to his companions and said: Beware If they were allowed to speak they would inform you that: Verily, the best provision is fear of Allah. (Qur'an, 2:197)
