Page 263 - from Volume Two (Display Image)Poverty is a matter that pervades the entire universe *** an eye and a judgment, but it does not go away Except on the possible names of his Creator *** She desires, for this matter is anticipating The strong is by preparation his strength *** is like the weak, in the provisions they agree Realities are flowing in their fields *** and every right he has in himself is free The poor who is possessed by his poverty *** over him in everything his garment is created In any case, you see it *** as if it were a plate on top of it And it does not prevent him from an evil eye *** in his way pests and leeches ( and from that ) Poverty is a rule, but no one understands it *** except for the one who is above a family and a child Poverty is a rule that pervades the entire universe *** and I am not afraid of notable people from anyone Because all of them are asking for it *** and poverty is asking for it specifically in the country They are all a number because they are a number *** and all have interceded except for the one who is called on Sunday And all other notables are as *** we said, like the benefactor and the eminent one Glory be to Him, may He be possessed by anyone *** He is not born in a mind or in a body [ O people, you are the poor to God .]His integrity is a good loan, his statement and proof of charity is that you worship God as if you see his reward, and whatever good they do, they will not disbelieve him. And the truth accepts him because he called him with her and supplication sought and approached her sister, which is humiliation. Abu Yazid said, The truth draws near to me by what I do not have humiliation and poverty, so it is his humiliation and his veil. The seer and the blind do not perceive it. Say: Are those who know alike and those who do not know? Only remember first. And in this verse, I mean the verse of his saying: You are the poor to God. The truth is called to us by the name of everything that is lacking in other than it. The poor is the one who lacks everything and is not lacking in anything. The thing of his presence is like a thing that is not a beneficial medicine for an incurable disease, and I have created you before and did not have anything in the eye of a public issue, and the human being does not remember that we created it before, and there is nothing before the one who is a warning, and there is nothing in the honor. With the existence of his own eyes, because the time of age has come upon him, so poverty is a self-need without specifying a need because of his ignorance of what is best for him and of the names of God the preventer, and he has given everything his creation, even the purpose of what he created in us. He gave them sin just as he gave sinners his creation, so the truth is not restricted to his blessings and the midwives accept according to their preparations, so he prevented him from giving because of his knowledge of the interests. And he cautioned that the need for him is self, and God has given everything its creation, so He has given you what is in the interest for you, if you knew. He already knew that he creates a people and creates in them the question to the gentiles and withholds them from knowledge of him that he is responsible in every responsible eye that he lacks from inanimate, plant, animal, king and other creatures. Poverty to God is the basis, so the scholars of God are the ones who preserve their conditions (Arrived) [Al-Ghani Allah]The rich in God is poor to him, so the attribution of the word poverty to God is more important than the attribution of the rich, because the rich is a subjective adjective that elevates the correspondence between the essence of truth and creation. |
