330. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Usman Bin Isa, from haroun Bin Kharjat, who has said: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘The one who leaves the choice to Allah (azwj) and is happy with whatsoever Allah (azwj) Chooses for him, Allah (azwj) will inevitably Choose good for him’.

331. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Dawood Bin Mahraan, from Ali Bin Ismail Al-Maysamy, from a man from Juweyriyya Bin Mus’har who said: I hurried behind Amir-ul-Momineen (asws), so he (asws) said to me: ‘O Juweyriyya! Those idiots were not destroyed except by the sound of the shoes behind them which followed them’. I said, ‘I came to ask you (asws) about three – about the nobility, and the chivalry, and the intellect’. He (asws) said: ‘As for the nobility, so the one whom ‘السُّلْطَانُ’ Allah (azwj) has Ennobled, is noble, and as for the chivalrous, so it is the righteous means for living, and as for the intellect, so the one who fears Allah (azwj) is the intellectual’.

332. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassaan, from Ali Bin Abu Al-Nawaar, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: I said to Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws). Which is that thing which makes the sun to be hotter than the moon?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Created the sun from the light of the fire and clearness of the water, a layer from this and a layer from this until there were seven layers, then clothed it with a clothing from the fire. Then it became hotter than the moon’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, and the moon?’ He (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Created the moon from the illumination of the light of the fire and clearness of the water, a layer from this and a layer from this until there were seven layers, then clothed it in a clothing of water, so the moon became colder than the sun’.
