1673. THE REASON FOR [MAN'S] DESPISAL OF DEATH
5869. رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - لِرَجلٍ سَأَله مِن عِلَّةِ كَراهَةِ المَوتِ - : ألكَ مالٌ ؟ قالَ : نَعَم قالَ : فقَدَّمتَهُ ؟ قالَ: لا، قالَ : فمِن ثَمّ لا تُحِبُّ المَوتَ1
5869. The Prophet (SAWA) said to a person who asked him about the reason for [man's] despisal of death, 'Do you have wealth?' He said, 'Yes.' The Prophet said, 'And have you given it away [before death should overtake you]?' He said, 'No.' The Prophet said, 'This is why you do not like death.'2
5870. الإمامُ الحسنُ عليه السلام - أيضاً - : لِأنّكُم أخرَبتُم آخِرَتَكُم ، وعَمّرتُم دُنياكُم ، وأنتُم تَكرَهونَ النُّقلَةَ مِن العُمرانِ إلَى الخَرابِ3
5870. Imam al-Hasan (AS), in answer to a person about the reason for hating death, said, 'Because you have wrecked your Hereafter and built your world, and you hate to move from a constructed place to a demolished place.'4
