شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْوَسْوَاسَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ اذْكُرْ تَقَطُّعَ أَوْصَالِكَ فِي قَبْرِكَ وَ رُجُوعَ أَحْبَابِكَ عَنْكَ إِذَا دَفَنُوكَ فِي حُفْرَتِكَ وَ خُرُوجَ بَنَاتِ الْمَاءِ مِنْ مَنْخِرَيْكَ وَ أَكْلَ الدُّودِ لَحْمَكَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُسَلِّي عَنْكَ مَا أَنْتَ فِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا ذَكَرْتُهُ إِلَّا سَلَّى عَنِّي مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ هَمِّ الدُّنْيَا.

20. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I complained before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the disturbance of temptation in my mind. He (the Imam) said, ‘O abu Muhammad, speak (think) of your joints coming apart in your grave, and of your relatives abandoning you after your burial, worms coming out from your nose and other worms consuming your flesh; this will help you to overcome temptations.’ Abu Basir has said, ‘By Allah, whenever I did as he had told me to do I felt free from temptations.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
