Hadith 131

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – From Al Husayn Bin Ibrahim Al Qazwiny, from Muhammad Bin Wahban, from Ahmad Bin Ibrahim, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Zafrany, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Head of every mistake (sin) is love of the world’’. [179]
And by this chain, from Hisham who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘We tend to love of the world and if we were not Given it, it would be better for us, and no one has been Given anything from it except there is a reduction of his share in the Hereafter’. He (the narrator) said, ‘A man said to him-asws, ‘By Allah-azwj! We tend to seek the world’. Abu Abdullah-asws said to him: ‘What will you do with it? ’
He said, ‘I shall assist by it upon myself and my dependants, and I shall give charity from it, and I shall help (the kindred) from it, and I shall perform Hajj from it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘This isn’t seeking the world. This is seeking the Hereafter’’. [180]
