14ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فِيمَا أَعْلَمُ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَبْعَدُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا لَمْ يُهِمَّهُ إِلا بَطْنُهُ وَفَرْجُهُ.
14. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Muhammad ‘ Amr - as far as I know- from abu Ali al-Hadhdha’ from Hariz from Zurara and Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “The farthest that a servant can be from Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is the condition wherein one has no other concern but his stomach and his genitals.”
