6-17 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn al-Hussein al-Lu’lu’ee, on the authority of Ishaq al-Zah’hak, on the authority of Monzar al-Javan, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) that Salman - may God have Mercy upon him - said, “I wonder about six things. Three of them make me cry and the other three make me laugh. The three which make me cry are: separation from the friends of Muhammad (MGB) and his fans; fear of death; and the Resurrection and standing in front of the Honorable the Exalted God. The three which make me laugh are: the state of the one who seeks this world, while death pursues him; the state of an ignorant one who is being watched over by the guardians; and the state of the one who laughs while he doesn’t know whether God is satisfied with him or is angry at him.”
