“O you who sold yourself..! ..يا بائعاً نفسه

قال الإمام ابن قيم الجوزية رحمه الله

يا بائعاً نفسه بهوى من حبه ضنى ، ووصله أذى ، وحسنه إلى فناء ، لقد بعت أنفس الأشياء بثمن  بخس ، كأنك لم تعرف قدر السلعة ولا خسة الثمن ، حتى إذا قدمت يوم التغابن تبين لك الغبن في عقد التبايع ، لا إله إلا الله سلعةً ، الله مشتريها ، وثمنها الجنة ، والدلال الرسول ، ترضى ببيعها بجزع يسير مما لا يساوي كله جناح بعوضة

“O you who sold yourself for the sake of something that will cause you suffering and pain, and which will also lose its beauty, you sold the most precious item for the cheapest price, as if you neither knew the value of the goods nor the meanness of the price. Wait until you come to the Day of mutual loss and gain and you will discover the injustice of this contract. ‘There is no diety worthy of worship in truth except for Allaah‘ is something that Allaah is buying. Its price is Paradise, and the Messenger is its agent, and you will be pleased to part with a small part of this worldly life to obtain it. The part you lose is a small part of something that as a whole is not worth a mosquito’s wing.”
