3-114 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Suleiman ibn Davood, on the authority of Hammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) that the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) said, “Luqman has said the following amongst the wise advice he gave his son, ‘O my son! One who is weak in Certitude and whose belief about the provision of his sustenance is weak can be reassured considering the three occasions on which God the Blessed the Sublime would take care of his affairs and provide for his sustenance, while he is not able to do anything and cannot earn his sustenance. The first occasion is during the time he is in his mother’s womb where he has no power to do anything, but God provides his sustenance and maintains him in a safe and stable place where he is protected against heat and cold. The second occasion is after he is born and has no power to do anything, but is fed with his mother’s milk until he grows up and stops being breastfed. The third occasion is after he is no longer being breastfed and has no power to do anything but God provides his sustenance through his father’s earnings and by the love He has placed in his father’s heart, such that he always puts a higher priority to feeding and clothing him than he does to feeding and clothing himself. Then once a man grows up he goes out to work to provide for his sustenance. Whenever he has shortcomings and cannot earn enough, he forgets this and is badly suspicious about God the Blessed the Sublime providing his sustenance and makes life hard for his spouse and children. O my son! Such a person would be a bad worshipper!’”
IsnādAbu Abdullah a dit:
Le Commandeur des croyants (Ali) a dit: "Lorsque Luqman a conseillé son fils, il lui a dit: 'Mon fils, que ta certitude soit basée sur une réflexion profonde et que ta intention dans la recherche de subsistance soit ferme. Certes, Allah, exalté soit-Il, a créé Ses créatures selon trois états de Sa volonté, Il leur a accordé leur subsistance sans qu'ils aient à travailler ou à recourir à des stratagèmes. Allah, exalté soit-Il, les pourvoira dans un quatrième état. Le premier état est quand il était dans le ventre de sa mère, où il était nourri dans un endroit sûr où ni la chaleur ni le froid ne pouvaient l'atteindre. Puis il en est sorti et a été nourri du lait de sa mère, qui lui a suffi pour le nourrir, le faire grandir et le fortifier sans aucun effort ni force de sa part. Ensuite, il a été sevré de cela et a reçu une subsistance provenant du travail de ses parents, par leur compassion et leur miséricorde envers lui, sans qu'ils ne possèdent autre chose. Ils le préféraient même à eux-mêmes dans de nombreuses situations. Puis, lorsqu'il grandit, acquit de la raison et gagna sa propre subsistance, ses affaires se compliquèrent, il eut des doutes sur son Seigneur, nia les droits des autres sur sa richesse, se préoccupa de lui-même et de sa famille par crainte de manquer de subsistance et de subir des difficultés, ayant peu de confiance en Allah, exalté soit-Il, pourvoir en bien dans ce monde et dans l'au-delà. Que cet individu est misérable, ô mon fils."
