18ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لَمْ يُؤْمِنِ الله الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ هَزَاهِزِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَكِنَّهُ آمَنَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَى فِيهَا وَالشَّقَاءِ فِي الآخِرَةِ.
18. Ali has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Khath’ami from Muhammad ibn Bulul al-‘Abdi who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying, ‘Allah has not protected the believers from the turmoil of the world but He has protected them from blindness in it and the wickedness of the next life.’”
