Page 285 - from Volume Two (Display Image)So you go back to him and accept him and do not turn him back and the nose does not carry you if you are old in age or rank and the truth appeared with someone who is younger than you in age or destiny or the truth appeared with an imbecile. Except for one master called Abu Abdullah Ibn Jubayr, whom I met in the city of Ceuta and the Kutama Palace, and it is part of the etiquette of Shari a. the fourth section: the literature of truthIt is to leave literature in your annihilation and return all of that to God and it will come in the chapter that follows this chapter and it is in the stations like the gift in the types of giving, which is to give in order to enjoy for no other reason. hospitality, aqeeqah, and other things, as well as the collector of goodness, not for a reason, but because the collector of that has a virtuous soul that is benevolent in person. Except for the people of the fatwa from the blameworthy, no one else, they took every path in it and extracted its treasures and obtained its benefits as God Almighty said that he did not create the heavens and he is every world above and the earth and he is every world under the sky from the world of righteousness and the earth from the world of corruption and from him I derived the name of the earth for what it spoils in clothes, paper and wood It is also called the moth and the moth and what is between them except with the truth of the world. This right with which this world is created is the one with which we are polite, for it is the reason for the existence of the world s notables and by it God will judge between His servants and His servants on the Day of Resurrection and by which He revealed the laws. For the land, judge between people with truth and do not follow whims, and if it is created with truth, then it is between heaven and earth, or it is the eye of the earth. Rather, truth judges truth and lies with good and ugliness. The truth is in one place that praises honesty, and in one place it condemns and forbids, and praises the lie that is against it, incites against it and necessitates it, and in another place it condemns and forbids lying, praises honesty and commands it, and this is the place of literature that benefits its owner in all It is a place, so adhere to it, and follow its places and evidence in the laws and in the actions of the Messenger who was imitated by it, no other than what is specific to it, for it is not etiquette with the truth. And as for the maqam, the literature of serviceIt is to give the self-served person what she deserves in terms of her own eyes, which is to stand with what she is asking for herself, and she hastened to it before she commands it or asks you about it, so that the humiliation of the issue does not appear on her, even if he is greater than you and asks about a matter, it is in terms of his asking you in That matter is that you do it to show a need for you, even if its benefit returns to you, but the position of the question requires that, so the position of service etiquette is to always attend with every person who is witnessed to you. You look at what you deserve with what the time, place or situation gives him, so you do that for her without asking and do not warn anyone except your presence, for this is a position. Service literature And as for the maqam, the literature of ShariaIt is for you to do its own command, not by what it gives you itself, unless it commands you to do so, so doing what it gives you itself in terms of its command is nothing but God Almighty said: And what the Messenger has given you, take it, and what he forbids you to do, then abstain. It is the literature of Sharia, not the literature of service And as for the maqam, the literature of truthWe will remember him, God willing It is from the etiquette of Sharia that you take its legal rulings and stand at its fees and limits and treat you with them just for the sake of serving and working, not for sweetening the soul with knowledge of it rather than work. The truth is that your knowledge of things does not exceed his knowledge in them, which is approval, and if your knowledge gives you otherwise, especially in what the truth has added to creation of deeds, then you add it to the one whom God has added and leave your knowledge to His knowledge, for He is the All-Knowing and you are the All-Knowing and He is truthful in what he tells. That is why this addition is added to it, so do not outweigh your knowledge over his knowledge in terms of evidence for you that there is no actor but God, so this is not from etiquette. |
