Almsgiving is a healing medicine and the deeds of the servants in this world are before their eyes in that world
Imam Ali (pbuh) in this wisdom (seventh wisdom) points to two issues that have a great impact on his material and spiritual life, first says: “Charity (helping the needy) is a healing medicine"; (الصَّدَقَةُ دَوَاءٌ مُنْجِحٌ).
In the Holy Quran and in Islamic traditions, the importance and effect of charity in the way of God and charity on the needy has been widely mentioned and has been considered as one of the most important and effective virtues.
The interpretation of “medicine” and “cure” (effective and healing) absolutely shows that this work cures both individual and social diseases.
Charity is not called any kind of forgiveness, but it is a kindness in which the intention of closeness is; Whether they are obligatory, such as zakat or mustahab, such as charity for the sake of God, or whether it has a personal aspect, such as helping an orphan or a deprived person, or a disease, or a general aspect, such as building a hospital and an orphanage, which is also interpreted as current alms.
As some commentators on Nahj al-Balaghah have stated, this word of the Imam clearly refers to the embodiment of deeds on the Day of Resurrection.
The embodiment of deeds means that the good and bad deeds of each one will be felt properly on the Day of Judgment. For example, prayer is embodied in the face of a beautiful and righteous human being, and oppression is embodied in the form of black and suffocating smoke, and human beings will be beside their embodied deeds, and part of their reward and punishment will be done in this way.
There are many verses in the Holy Qur’an whose appearance is the embodiment of deeds, such as what is stated at the end of Surah Al-Zalzal: Whoever does a good deed as heavy as a particle will see it, and whoever does a deed as bad as a particle will see it. ”(3)
For more information on the many verses in the Qur’an about the embodiment of deeds and their interpretation, refer to the book “Message of the Qur’an", Volume 6, the discussion of the embodiment of deeds.
It is noteworthy that the interpretation of (Ajalham) which is mentioned in the morning version of Saleh is apparently a wrong interpretation and it is correct (Ajlham) and almost all copies of Nahj al-Balaghah are written in the same way (Ajlham) and the comparison with (Ajlham) is a clear reason. This means, because (hasty) means the existing thing (the world) and (hasty) means the long-term thing (here the meaning of the Hereafter) and (hasten) which is the plural of the term means the expiration of life has no meaning here.
