The Imam said: "The first one is just like a man who sleeps on the right course; as soon as he is awaken, he will take it. The other is like a person who sleeps on the wrong course; when he is awaken, he cannot realize the right course to take." 192
Imam as-Sadiq narrated that the Prophet (s) once, noticed a young man, in the mosque just after the Fajr prayer, nodding his head with his face pale, his body thin, and his eyes sunken in his head. 'How is your morning?' the Prophet asked the young man. 'God's Messenger,' answered the man, 'I begin this morning with full conviction.'
The Prophet (s) was admired by this answer; hence, he said, 'There is a proof for every conviction. What is the proof of yours?'
The young man said, 'God's Messenger, my conviction is the reason of my grief, sleeplessness, and thirst in midday. Hence, I disdain this world along with its pleasures so completely, as if the Throne of my Lord is prepared for the judgment, all people, including I myself, are gathered there for interrogation, and as if people of Paradise are there enjoying the bliss and introducing themselves to each other and leaning on the sofas, and as if people of Hell are there tormented and lined up, and now I can hear the sound of fire in my hearings.'
The Prophet (s) said to his companions, 'Surely, Allah has illuminated the heart of this man with faith.' He (s) then asked him to keep on such faith and conviction. The young man asked the Prophet to pray to God for martyrdom, and the Prophet did.
Not before long time, that young man participated in one of the Prophet's campaigns and was martyred. 193
