19ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام)
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ فِي آجَالٍ مَقْبُوضَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَالْمَوْتُ يَأْتِي بَغْتَةً مَنْ يَزْرَعْ خَيْراً يَحْصُدْ غِبْطَةً وَمَنْ يَزْرَعْ شَرّاً يَحْصِدْ نَدَامَةً وَلِكُلِّ زَارِعٍ مَا زَرَعَ وَلا يَسْبِقُ الْبَطِيءَ مِنْكُمْ حَظُّهُ وَلا يُدْرِكُ حَرِيصٌ مَا لَمْ يُقَدَّرْ لَهُ مَنْ أُعْطِيَ خَيْراً فَالله أَعْطَاهُ وَمَنْ وُقِيَ شَرّاً فَالله وَقَاهُ.
19. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ibn Faddal from those whom has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah 
who has said the following:
“You live in a period of time that is continuously reduced and in calculated days. Death comes suddenly. Whoever sows goodness will harvest what is very much sought after. Whoever sows evil will harvest regret. Every farmer finds what he has planted. The sustenance of the slow moving ones among you will not move ahead of him and the greedy will not achieve what is not assigned for him. Whoever does good, Allah grants him good and whoever safeguards against evil, Allah protects him.”
