14 i have seen most people except for those whom allah the most high has protected and they are few hastening misery worry and fatigue for themselves in this world and they are hiding great sin that will lead to hell in the hereafter with which they will not gain any benefit at all from the evil intentions they harbour such as wishing for a high cost of living that will destroy people the young and the innocent and wishing for the most severe calamity for those they hate. and they know with certainty that those corrupt intentions will not hasten for them anything that they wish for or that will lead to its occurrence and that if they purified and improved their intentions they would hasten comfort for themselves and would thereby devote themselves to the interests of their affairs and would thereby acquire great reward in the hereafter without that delaying anything that they want or preventing it from occurring. so what loss is greater than this?
١٤ [ رأيت أكثر الناس، إلا من عصم الله تعالى وقليل ما هم، يتعجلون الشقاء والهم والتعب لأنفسهم في الدنيا، ويحتقبون عظيم الإثم الموجب للنار في الآخرة بما لا يحظون معه بنفع أصلا من نيات خبيثة يضبون عليها من تمني الغلاء المهلك للناس وللصغار ومن لا ذنب له، وتمني أشد البلاء لمن يكرهونه، وقد علموا يقينا أن تلك النيات الفاسدة لا تعجل لهم شيئا مما يتمنونه أو يوجب كونه، وأنهم لو صفوا نياتهم وحسنوها لتعجلوا الراحة لأنفسهم وتفرغوا بذلك لمصالح أمورهم، ولاقتنوا بذلك عظيم الأجر في المعاد من غير أن يؤخر ذلك شيئا مما يريدونه أو يمنع كونه. فأي غبن اعظم من هذه
