بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وصية

لا تكن وصيا ولا رسول قوم ولا سيما بين الملوك، ولا شاهدا. واحذر إذا اغتسلت أن تبول في مستحمك، بل اعتزل عنه وبل. ولا تنذر ما استطعت؛ فإن نذرت فأوف بنذرك؛ فإن رسول الله ص قد شهد بالبخل لمن نذر. و إياك أن تتمنى لقاء العدو؛ فإذا لقيته فأثبت، ولا تفر.

وإياك وسب المؤمنين ولا سيما الصحابة على الخصوص؛ فإنك تؤذي النبي ص في أصحابه. ولا تسب الريح فإن الريح من نفس الرحمن، ولكن سل الله خيرها وخير ما أرسلت به واستعذ بالله من شرها وشر ما أرسلت به.

وإذا لبست ثوبا جديدا فسم الله، وقل: «اللهم أعطني خيره وخير ما صنع له واكفني شره وشر ما صنع له». ولا تصل إلى النائمين إذا كانوا في قبلتك. وإياك ولباس ما حرم الشرع عليك لباسه كالحرير والذهب، ولا تجلس على الحرير. وإذا لقيت ذميا فلا تبدأه بالسلام، وأضطره إلى أضيق الطريق.

وانته أن تسمى العنبة «الكرم»، بل قل «العنبة» و«الحبلة»، ولا تقل «الكرم»؛ فإنه ثبت عن رسول الله ص

In the name of God, the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful.

Counsel

Do not act as an executor or as a people’s envoy, especially between kings, nor as a witness. When you bathe, beware of urinating in your bathing place; move away from it and urinate. Avoid making vows as far as you can; if you make a vow, fulfill it, for the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, has testified to the miserliness of one who makes a vow. Beware of wishing to meet the enemy; when you meet him, stand firm and do not flee.

Beware of reviling believers, especially the Companions in particular, for you thereby hurt the Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, through his Companions. Do not revile the wind, for the wind is from the Breath of the All-Merciful. Rather, ask God for its good and the good with which it has been sent, and seek refuge in God from its evil and the evil with which it has been sent.

When you put on a new garment, invoke God’s name and say: “O God, grant me its good and the good for which it was made, and protect me from its evil and the evil for which it was made.” Do not pray toward sleeping people when they are in your direction of prayer. Beware of wearing what the Law has forbidden you to wear, such as silk and gold, and do not sit on silk. When you meet a dhimmī, a protected non-Muslim subject, do not initiate the greeting of peace to him, and make him take the narrowest part of the road.

Refrain from calling the grapevine “al-karm”; rather, say “the grapevine” and “al-ḥabala,” and do not say “al-karm.” For it is established from the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace,
