Page 518 - from Volume Four (Display Image)So be apologetic to him *** and say that I came to you resigned If you forgive, then you are a great criminal *** and if you punish, you will not be wronged And if I gave that to the faithful *** then I deposited it with long thanks ( and from the commandments ) Some of those who know God advised a person, and he said, Do not be false in knowledge and be perverted with asceticism, or be dependent on worship. He was told, May God have mercy on you. Without the circumstances, you were professional, and if your heart became attached to worship and you thought that you would escape from God with worship, not with God in worship, then you would be attached to worship ( prophetic commandment ) The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said in his will to Abu Hurayrah, you are on the path of people, if people are afraid, they do not panic, and if people seek safety from the fire, they are not afraid. They will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, the assembly of the prophets, when people look at them, they think they are prophets from what they see from their condition until I know them, then I say, My nation, my nation. So the creatures will know that they are not prophets, so they pass by like lightning and wind blinds the eyes of the crowd from their lights. Huraira, the people rode a difficult road, following the level of the prophets. They preferred hunger after God had satiated them, nakedness after he had clothed them, and thirst after they were told, they left that hope. With God, they left the lawful out of fear of his reckoning. They accompanied the world with their bodies and did not occupy themselves with anything of it. The angels and prophets marveled at their obedience to their Lord. Blessed are they. Blessed are they. To them the torment will be diverted from them, so you, O Abu Huraira, have to follow their way ( will ) I wrote to some of our acquaintances with a commandment contained in verses urging him to complete his humanity, and it is If you were a spirit and a wind *** you would be a human being among the people He only gave you his image *** so that you may be merciful in creation So the one whose image has passed *** it is permissible what comes and what they were And the one who is in the unseen is a wonder *** and who has come to him now And he whom his Creator calls *** He only calls him a benefactor ( and recommended ) Some of the righteous are human beings. He said more questioning the wise, and let the first thing you ask about is the mind, because all things are not comprehended except by the mind. He said, O Abraham, save five from me, for if you memorized them, you did not care what happened to you after them. I said, And they are not, may God have mercy on you. He said, Embrace poverty, and patience takes hold, desires return, break desires, and fear God in all your affairs. Obligations, avoiding prohibitions, fulfilling promises, and you will not reach these five except with five abundant knowledge, healing knowledge, great wisdom, critical insight, and a nun s soul. Woe! Woe to those who have been afflicted with five deprivations, disobedience, betrayal, and self-satisfaction with what displeases God and slanders people with what comes. By the burdens and spying on people with what God does not love and dueling with God with what He hates. Blessed are the five who are sincere. Those who are sincere in their knowledge, action, love, hate, taking, giving, speaking, silence, saying and doing. Know, Abraham, that the faces of the lawful Five trade with honesty, craftsmanship with advice, hunting on land and sea, an inheritance of lawful origin, and a gift from a place that you like. All the world is curiosity except for five bread that satisfies you, water that irrigates you, a garment that covers you, a house that shelters you, and knowledge that you use. It also needs to have five things sincerity. |
