Yaqīn (يقين, الْيَقِينُ)

Conviction, certainty

وَ قَالَ ع‏ الْإِيمَانُ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَ الْيَقِينُ خَطَرَاتٌ

And he-asws (6th Imam) said: ‘The Eman is in the heart, and the certainty are thoughts’.[1]

قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ الْيَقِينُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So which thing is the certainty?’

قَالَ التَّوَكُّلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ التَّسْلِيمُ لِلَّهِ وَ الرِّضَا بِقَضَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ التَّفْوِيضُ إِلَى اللَّهِ

He-asws said: ‘The reliance upon Allah-azwj, and the submission to Allah-azwj, and the satisfaction with the Decree of Allah-azwj, and the delegating (the affairs) to Allah-azwj’.

قُلْتُ مَا تَفْسِيرُ ذَلِكَ

I said, ‘What is the interpretation of that?’

قَالَ هَكَذَا قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع.

He-asws said: ‘Like that Abu Ja’far-asws had said’’.[2]
