Reward of avoiding lust today for the sake of those promised things which are unseen
حَدَّثَنِی جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْکُوفِیُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص طُوبَی لِمَنْ تَرَکَ شَهْوَهً حَاضِرَهً لِمَوْعُودٍ لَمْ یَرَهُ.
