Waiting for the Imam for worldly benefits
Hadith 1:
ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لابِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَتَى الْفَرَجُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ وَأَنْتَ مِمَّنْ يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا مَنْ عَرَفَ هَذَا الامْرَ فَقَدْ فُرِّجَ عَنْهُ لانْتِظَارِهِ.
Narrated from Abu Basir who has said, I said to Abu Abdillah Imam Sadiq (ع),
"May I be sacrificed for You, when will the relief (faraj) come?"
The Imam (ع) said, "O Abu Basir, are you of those who want this world? The one who knows/believes-in this matter (i.e. Imamat & arrival of the Mahdi) he has already been given relief (faraj) by waiting (intezaar) for it."
