حکمت 379: ای فرزند آدم! روزی دو گونه است، روزیی که… · Saying 379

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ الرِّزْقُ رِزْقَانِ رِزْقٌ تَطْلُبُهُ وَ رِزْقٌ يَطْلُبُكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَأْتِهِ أَتَاكَ فَلَا تَحْمِلْ هَمَّ سَنَتِكَ عَلَي هَمِّ يَوْمِكَ كَفَاكَ كُلُّ يَوْمٍ عَلَي مَا فِيهِ فَإِنْ تَكُنِ السَّنَةُ مِنْ عُمُرِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَي سَيُؤْتِيكَ فِي كُلِّ غَدٍ جَدِيدٍ مَا قَسَمَ لَكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنِ السَّنَةُ مِنْ عُمُرِكَ فَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِالْهَمِّ فِيمَا لَيْسَ لَكَ وَ لَنْ يَسْبِقَكَ إِلَي رِزْقِكَ طَالِبٌ وَ لَنْ يَغْلِبَكَ عَلَيْهِ غَالِبٌ وَ لَنْ يُبْطِئَ عَنْكَ مَا قَدْ قُدِّرَ لَكَ.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him. said: O Son of Adam! Livelihood is of two kinds: the livelihood which you seek and the livelihood which seeks you; if you do not reach it, it will come to you. Therefore, do not turn your one day's worry into a year's worry. Whatever you get every day should be enough for you for the day. If you have a whole year of life even then Allah, the Sublime, will give you every next day what He has destined as your share. If you do not have a year in your life then why should you worry for what is not for you. No seeker will reach your livellihood before you nor will anyone overpower you in the matter of livelihood. Similarly, whatever has been destined as your share will not be delayed for you. Al-Sayyid al-Radi says: This saying has already appeared elsewhere in this chapter except that here it is clearer and more detailed. This is why we have repeated it according to the principle laid down in the beginning of the book.
