TRANSLATOR NOTES

"A fact of this world life" is an expression, which is unknown to the majority of us. One who has knowledge of this life is in fact the smartest and the most successful of all people. On the one hand, worldly life is a fact that nobody can deny. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of it.

AlmightyAllah( S.W.T.) poses us a basic question:

"What!did you then think that had created you in vain and that you shall not be returned to us?" (Al-Qur'an 23:115)

In this Divine question two points are clear: One is that "life is a fact" and the other is that "it has a purpose". In many places the Holy Qur'an has made this point clear by giving us examples of past historic events. The wealth ofShaddad andFir`aun (Pharaoh), and persons of such categories, perished. They left thisworld ;with nothing but their own deeds and they are tasting the punishment for the evils they committed.

Some of the verses of the Holy Qur'an havemake it clear that thisworhtless world is nothing but play. For example:

"And this life of the world is nothing but a sport and play: and as for the next abode, that most surely is the life - did they but know! " (Al-Qur'an 29:64) I think we should strive hard, by using whatever means and sources we have, to understand this worldly life.

HADITH AL-QUDSI (SacredHadith ) is one of; thesources which opens up our eyes, shakes us up, and awakens us so that we may think. For example:

"O Son of Adam!obey Me to the extent of your deeds towards Me. Disobey Me to the extent of your ability to tolerate the Fire of Hell. Collect wealth in this world according to the length of your stay here. Collect for the Hereafter (Aakhirah ) according to the length of your stay here. Do not think that your death is far and that the Bounties (you receive from Allah) will always be available, or that your sins are hidden." (Al-Hadith Al-Qudsi ,Hadith No.13)

The materialistic world has dragged humankind into a race of unlimited desire. This mad search for pleasure, excitement, new sensations and the accumulation of material wealth, results in adisgracerful life. This drive to experience more and more is the direct and root cause of all family and social problems and manifests itself in genocide, homicide, substance abuse, child abuse and violence towards women. The so-called "civilized" countries of our time have failed to understand this, although they possess sophisticated weapons to defend their values as well as accurate computers. In my view, Islam is the only solution to all of these problems. Not only does it teach that we should be achievers in this worldly life, but it also teaches humankind to have God-consciousness (Taqwa ). THE THREE WAYS OF COMMUNICATION OF ALMIGHTY ALLAH:

AsMawlana Sayyid Akhtar Rizvi expresses in his book The Qur'an andHadith :

"According to the Muslims, the Revelations from God can be of three kinds:

a) Al-Qur'an: Where the words and meanings both are revealed from God, and it is meant to be a miracle in itself. Such Revelation is the Qur'an. No other Revelation was meant to be a miracle, challenging the antagonists to bring its 'like' if they can, and prophesying that they can never do it.

b) Hadith Al-Qudsi : Where the words and meanings are both from God, but it is not intended to be a miracle. It is found in the Books of Traditions and generally begins with these words: "The Holy Prophet said that Allah said".

c)Hadith : Where only the meanings are from God, but the words are of Prophets. Inspirations, and also Traditions of the Prophet of Islam come into this category."

TheHadith Al-Qudsi is scattered in the Books of Tradition. Some of the scholars have made attempts to compile them. This presentation ofHadith Al-Qudsi has been taken from the bookKalimatullah by the great scholarAqai Sayyid HassanShirazi . As a child I would listen to my father's speeches and his daily communications. From time to time he used to mention theseHadith Al-Qudsi . Consequently, I have been reading them over and over again. This completion of ScaredHadith has been translated into Urdu by the lateMaulanay sayid AliMuhammed Ijlal Lakhnavi of India. I hope that readers will benefit from this translation, and pray for me and for the entire MuslimUmmah for their unity.

Was Salaam.

الحديث الأول‏

قالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْموْتِ كَيْفَ يَفْرَحُ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالحِسَابِ كَيفَ يَجْمَعُ الْمَالَ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْقَبْرِ كَيْفَ يَضْحَكُ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِزَوَالِ الدُّنْيَا كَيْفَ يَطْمَئِنُّ إِلَيْهَا، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِبَقَاءِ الآخِرَةِ وَنَعِيمِهَا كَيْفَ يَستَرِيحُ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ هُوَ عَالِمٌ بَاللِّسَانِ وَجَاهِلٌ بِالْقَلْبِ، وَعَجِْتُ لِمَنْ هُوَ مُطَهِّرٌ بِالمَاء وَغَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ بِالْقَلْبِ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنِ اشْتَغَلَ بِعُيُوبِ النَّاسِ وَهُوَ غَافِلٌ عَنْ عُيُوبِ نَفْسِهِ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّه تَعَالَى مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَيْهِ كَيْفَ يَعْصِيهِ، وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَمُوتُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَدْخُلُ الْقَبْرَ وَحْدَهُ وَيُحَاسَبُ وَحْدَهُ كَيْفَ يَسْتأنِسُ بِالنَّاسِ، وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَا إلهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ حَقّاً حَقّاً مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدِي وَرَسُولِي

Chapter 1

Almighty Allah says:

I wonder how a person can be happy, who is certain of death.

I wonder at a person who is certain ofreckconing (the Day ofJudgement ), but still accumulates wealth.

I wonder at a person who is certain of going into the grave, but still smiles without concern.

I wonder at a person who is certain of this world’s doom, but still has tranquility in loving this world.

I wonder at a person who is certain of the Hereafter and its Bounties but he still rests.

I wonder at a person who is knowledgeable in his speech, and ignorant in his heart.

I wonder at a person who cleans him/herself with water, but does not cleanse his heart.

I wonder at people who look for bad points in others, butis unaware of the same in themselves.

I wonder at a person who knows that Almighty Allah is aware of his actions, but still commits sins.

I wonder at a person who preaches to the people, but does not preach to his own soul.

I wonder at a person who knows that he/she will die alone, go into the grave alone, give accounts alone, butis still totally engrossed with people who will not be able to help him/her.

Allah says: There is no god butMe . Thus Mohammed (SAW) isMy servant and My messenger.

الحديث الثاني‏

شَهِدَتْ نَفْسِي لِنَفْسِي أَنْ لَاإلهَ إِلَّا أنَا وَحْدِي لَا شَرِيْكَ لِي، وَمُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَبْدِي وَ رَسُولِي، مَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِقَضَائِي وَ لَمْ يَصْبِرْ عَلَى بَلَائِي وَ لَمْ يَشْكُرْ عَلَى نَعْمَائِي وَ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِعَطَائِي فَلْيَطْلُبْ رَبّاً سِوَائِي وَلْيَخْرُجْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَائِي، وَ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ حَزِيناً عَلى الدُّنْيَا فَكَأنَّما أَصْبَحَ سَاخِطاً عَلَيَّ، وَ مَنِ اشْتَكَى مُصِيبَةً نَزَلَتْ بِهِ إلَى غَيْرِي فَقَدْ شَكَانِي، وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلى غَنِيٍّ فَتَوَاضَعَ لَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ غِنَائِهِ ذَهَبَ ثُلثُ دِينِهِ، وَ مَنْ لَطَمَ وَجْهَهُ عَلى مَيِّتٍ فَكَأَنَّما أخَذَ رُمْحاً يُقَاتِلُنِي بِهِ، وَ مَنْ كَسَرَ عُوْداً عَلى قَبْرِ مَيِّتٍ فَكَأَنَّما هَدَم كَعْبَتي بِيَدِهِ، وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُبَالِ مِنْ أيْنَ يَأكُلُ لَمْ أُبَالِ بِهِ مِنْ أَيِّ بَابٍ أُدْخِلُهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الزِّيَادَةِ فِي دِينِهِ فَهُوَ فِي النُّقْصَانِ، وَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي النُّقْصَانِ فَالْمَوْتُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ، وَ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِما عَلِمَ زِدْتُهُ عِلْماً إلَى عِلْمِهِ

Chapter 2

Almighty Allah says:

My Essence witnesses My Being that there is no god butMe alone, without any partner and Mohammad (SAW) is My servant and Messenger.

A person who is not happy with My orders, not patient with my afflictions, not thankful for My bounties, not content with My gifts, then he should look for another lord other than Me and he should get out of My universe.

A person who does not get what he wants in this world and becomes sad by it, is as if he is angry withMe .

A person who complains to another of calamities which has befallen upon him is as if he has complained aboutMe .

A person who goes to a rich person and humiliates himself because of his wealth, one-third of his faith is lost.

A person who hits himself in front of a dead body is as if he has taken a sword to fight withMe and he has ruinedKa’ba with his hands.

A person who does not care about what he eats (whetherHalal orHaram ), I will not care from which door I will make him enter Hell.

A person who is not trying to improve faith (by doing good deeds) is in loss. The one who is loss; death is better for him.

A person who practices according to his knowledge, I will increase his knowledge towards his acts.

الحديث الثالث‏

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! مَنْ قَنَع اسْتَغْنَى، وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِالْقَلِيْلِ مِنَ الدُّنْيا فَقَدْ وَثَقَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! مَنْ تَرَكَ الْحَسَدَ اسْتَرَاحَ، وَ مَنِ اجْتَنَبَ الْحَرَامَ خَلّصَ دِيْنَهُ، وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ الغِيْبَةَ ظَهَرَتْ مَحَبَّتُهْ في الْقُلُوبِ، وَ مَنِ اْعَتَزَلَ عَنِ النّاسِ سَلِمَ مِنْهُمْ، وَ مَنْ قَلَّ كَلَامُهُ كَمُلَ عَقْلُهُ، وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ مِنَ اللَّهِ بِالْقَلِيلِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِالْقَلِيْلِ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! أَنْتَ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ لا تَعْمَلُ كَيْفَ تَطْلُبُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! أَفْنَيتَ عُمْرَكَ في طَلَبِ الدُّنْيا فَمَتَى تَطْلُبُ الآخِرَة

Chapter 3

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam!one who is content, is independent. One who is not jealous has tranquility. One who protects himself from unlawful (Haram ) , his faith becomes pure. One who does not gossip, will be loved by people. One who separates himself from people is safe (from their mischief).One who reduces his talk, increases his wisdom. One who is pleased with whatever little he has, has full trust upon Allah. One who is pleased at a little bounty from Allah, Allah is pleased with his little obedience.

O, Son of Adam!you do not practice according to whatever knowledge you gain. Then how could you be a seeker of knowledge when you do notpractise ?

O, Son of Adam!if you spend your whole life acquiring wealth, when will you be able to acquire the hereafter (Akhirat ) ?

الحديث الرابع‏

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! مَنْ أَصْبَحَ حَرِيصاً عَلَى الدُّنْيا لَمْ يَزِدْ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلا بُعْداً، وَ فِي الآخِرَةِ إلَّا جُهْداً، وَ أَلْزَمَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَلْبَهُ هَمّاً لَا يَنْقَطِعُ أَبَداً وَ فَقْراً لَا يَنَالُ غِنَاهُ أبَداً، وَ أمَلاً لَا يَنَالُ مُنَاهُ أَبَداً

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ عُمْرِكَ وَ أَنْتَ لَا تَدْرِي، وَ يَأتِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ رِزْقُكَ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَ أنْتَ لَا تَحْمَدُهُ، فَلَا بِالْقَلِيلِ تَقنَعُ وَ لَا بِالكَثِيرِ تَشْبَعُ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ جَدِيدٍ إِلَّا وَيَأتِيكَ مِنْ عِنْدِي رِزْقٌ جَدِيدٌ، وَ مَا مِنْ لَيْلَةٍ إلّا وَ يَأتِيني مَلآئِكَتِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بِعَمَلٍ قَبِيحٍ، تَأكُلُ رِزْقي وَ تَعْصِيْنِي وَ أنْتَ تَدْعُونِي فَأسْتَجِيبُ لَك!. خَيْري إِلَيْكَ نَازِلٌ وَ شَرُّكَ إلَيَّ صَاعِدٌ، فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلَى أَنَا وَ بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ أَنْتَ، تَسْألُنِي فأعْطِيكَ وَ أسْتُرُ إِلَيْكَ سُوءًَ بَعْدَ سوءٍ وَ قَبِيحاً بَعْدَ قَبِيحٍ، أنَا أسْتَحْيِي مِنْكَ وَ أنْتَ لَا تَسْتَحْيِي مِنِّي وَ تَنْسَانِي وَ تَذْكُرُ غَيْرِي وَ تَخَافُ النّاسَ وَ تَأمَنُ غَضَبي

Chapter 4

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam!a person who starts his day with greed for this world, finds no increase (in wealth) from Allah, and he is far from Allah. From this world nothing added to his wealth but struggle, and for the hereafter he has added exertion. Almighty Allah has added grief in his heart that will never end. Almighty Allah will add to his poverty which will never change into wealth, and increase his wishes and leave them unfulfilled.

O, Son of Adam!every day of your life is getting shorter, but still you do not understand? Each day I send down to youMy bounties, but you are not thankful to Me for them. You are not content with little nor are you satisfied with much.

O, Son of Adam!not a single day misses but that your provision comes to you from Me; and not a single night passes, but that My angles give Me accounts of your bad deeds. You eatMy provision, and you still disobey Me; but still when you call Me, I still answer you. FromMe , good bounties descend upon you and from you. And from you, sinful deeds come up toMe . How good a master I am and how bad a servant you are! I give youwhat ever you askMe , but still you go on sinning. I hide these sins, one after another, one evil deed after another. I am ashamed of you, but you are not ashamed ofMe ? You forgetMe , but I remember you. You are afraid of people, and you are careless ofMe . You fear enmity of people, but you do not fearMy wrath?

الحديث الخامس‏

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! لَا تَكُنْ مِمَّنْ يَطْلُبُ التَّوْبَةَ بِطُولِ الأمَلِ وَيَرْجُو الآخِرَةَ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ، يَقُولُ قَوْلَ الزّاهِدِينَ وَ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، إنْ أُعْطِىَ لَا يَقْنَعُ وَ إِنْ مُنِعَ لَا يَصْبِرُ، يَأمُرُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُهُ، وَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَ لاَ يُنْهَى عَنْهُ، وَ يُحِبُّ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ، وَ يُبْغِضُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ هُوَ مِنْهُمْ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ جَدِيدٍ إِلَّا وَ الأَرْضُ تُخَاطِبُكَ وَ تَقُولُ: يَابْنَ آدَمَ، تَمْشِي عَلى ظَهْرِي وَ مَصِيرُكَ في بَطْني وَتُذْنِب عَلَى ظَهْرِي وَ تُعَذَّبُ في بَطْنِي؛ يَابْنَ آدَمَ، أَنا بَيْتُ الوَحْدَةِ وَ أنَا بَيْتُ الْوَحْشَةِ وَ أَنَا بَيْتُ الظُلْمَةِ وَ أَنَا بَيْتُ العَقَارِبِ وَ الْحَيَّاتِ وَ أَنَا بَيْتُ الهَوانِ، فَاعْمُرِني وَ لَا تَخْرَبْنِي

Chapter 5

Almighty Allah says:

O, son of Adam!don not be like the one; who seeks pardon because of his unlimited desires. Who hopes for heaven, but does not do good deeds;Who speaks like pious person, but acts like hypocrites; Who has been blessed by bounties, but is not content; And if who is given (bounties), is not patient; Who advises others to do good deeds, but he himself indulges in evil ones. Who advises others to stay away from evil deeds, but he himself does not stay away from them;Who hates hypocrites, but is one of them.

O, Son of Adam!the earth always says “You walk on me, but in the end you will be within my bowls. I am a dwelling where you will have to stay all alone. I am a dwelling which is full of ferocious things, such as serpents and scorpions. So, O, Son of Adam, do good deeds and thereafter enter me; only then would you be happy and without hardships.”

الحديث السادس‏

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! مَا خَلَقْتُكُمْ لِأَسْتَكْثِرَ بِكُمْ مِن قِلَّةٍ، وَ لَا لِأَسْتَأنِسَ بِكُمْ مِنْ وَحْشَةٍ، وَ لَا لِأَسْتعِينَ بِكُمْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ عَجَزْتُ عَنْهُ، وَ لَا لِاَجْلِ مَنْفَعَةٍ وَ لَا لِدَفْعِ مَضَرَّةٍ، بَلْ خَلَقْتُكُمْ لِتَعْبُدُوني طَوِيلاً وَ تَشْكُرُوني كَثِيراً وَ تُسَبِّحُوني بُكْرَةً وَ أصِيلاً، وَ لَو أنَّ أَوَّلَكُم وَ آخِرَكُمْ وَ حَيَّكُمْ وَ مَيِّتَكُمْ وَ صَغِيرَكُمْ وَ كَبِيرَكُمْ وَحُرَّكُمْ وَ عَبْدَكُمْ وَ إِنْسَكُمْ وَ جِنَّكُمْ اجْتَمَعْتُمْ عَلَى طَاعَتِي لَمَا زَادَ ذلِكَ في مُلْكِي مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ، وَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَ آخِرَكُمْ وَ حَيَّكُمْ وَ مَيَِّتَكُمْ وَ صَغِيرَكُمْ وَ كَبِيرَكُمْ وَ حُرَّكُمْ وَ عَبْدَكُمْ وَ إنْسَكُمْ وَ جِنَّكُمَ اجْتَمَعتُمْ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتي مَا نَقَصَ ذلِكَ مِنْ مُلْكِي مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ، وَ مَنْ جَاهَدَ فَإنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِىُّ عَنِ العَالَمِينَ

Chapter 6

Almighty Allah says:

O, Children of Adam! I did not create you so as to: increase Myself out of poverty through you, or to seek companionship through you after being lonely, or to seek your help on matter in which I was inefficient, or for the sake of a benefit or for warding off harms. But I created you so you can worshipMe constantly and thank Me a lot, and praise Me day and night. Were the first you of and the last of you: those of who are living and those of you who are dead, youryoungesters and your elders, your slaves your masters, the human among you and the jinn among you, to join hand in hand, in order to obey Me, you would not be adding an atom to My kingdom. Were the first you of and the last of you: those of who are living and those of you who are dead, youryoungesters and your elders, your slaves your masters, the human among you and the jinn among you, to join hand in hand, in ordertodisobey Me, you would not reduce an atom in My Kingdom."Thus everything is perishable but He" (28:88). If you fear of Hell fire like you fear poverty, I would have made you wealthy to such an extent that nobodywhould have been able to count your wealth. If you desire of heaven as you desire this world, I would have showeredMy blessings upon you in this world and hereafter. Don’t make your heart dead out of love for this world. Indeed, this world is going to bring an end to you very soon. The one who struggles (in the path of Allah (Jihad) is struggling for his own soul. Indeed, Allah is self sufficient above any need of the worlds (3:97).

الحديث السابع‏

يَا عَبِيدَ الدَّنَانِيرِ وَ الدَّرَاهِمِ!! إِنِّي مَا خَلَقْتُ لَكُمُ الدَّرَاهِمَ وَ الدَّنَانِيرَ إلَّا لِتَأكُلوا بِهَا رِزْقِي وَ تَلْبَسُوا بِهَا ثِيَابِي وَ تُنْفِقُوا بِهَا فِي سَبِيلي، فَأخَذْتُمْ كِتَابِي فَجَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، وَ أَخَذْتُمُ الدُّنْيَا فَجَعَلْتُمُوهَا فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِكُمْ، وَ رَفَعْتُمْ بُيُوتَكُمْ وَ خَفَضْتُمْ بُيُوتِي، وَ آنَسْتُمْ بُيُوتَكُمْ وَ أَوْحَشْتُمْ بُيُوتِي، فَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَبِيدَ أَحرَارٌ أَبْرَارٌ

يَا عَبِيْدَ الدُّنْيَا!! إِنَّما مَثَلُكُمْ كَالقُبُورِ الْمُجَصَّصَةِ يُرَى ظَاهِرُهَا مَلِيحاً وَ بَاطِنُهَا قَبِيحاً

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! كَما لَا يُغْنِي الْمِصْبَاحُ فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ عَنِ الظّلْمَةِ الدّاخِلَةِ عَلَيْهِ، كَذلِكَ لَا يُغْنِي كَلَامُكُمُ الطَّيِّبُ مَعَ أَفْعَالِكُمُ الرَّدِيَّةِ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! أَخْلِصْ عَمَلَكَ وَ لَا تَسْألْنِي فَإنّي أُعْطِيْكَ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَطْلُبُ السَّائِلُونَ

Chapter 7

Almighty Allah says:

O, Sons of Dinars andDirhams (Dollars and Cents)! I did not create Dinars orDirahms but for you to eat your food, wear your clothes, and give alms inMy way. You have taken My Book and placed it under your feet, and you have taken this world and placed it over your head. You have raised your house, but you have loweredMine . You are attached to and enjoy being in your houses, but when you come toMy houses (the mosques) you restless and feel uneasy. Thus, you are neither independent, nor good servants. Indeed your parable is like solid and decorated graves which appear beautiful, but inside they are ugly.

O, Sons of Adam!just as a lighted lamp on top of a house, but darkness inside does not help, in the same way your good words with evil deeds do not help.

O, Sons of Adam!purify your deeds and do not ask, for I will give you more than what you ask for.

الحديث الثامن‏

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! إنِّي لَم أَخْلُقْكُمْ عَبَثاً وَ لَا جَعَلْتُكُمْ سُدَىً وَ لَا أَنَا بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ، وَ إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَنَالُوا مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا بِالصَّبْرِ عَلى مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فِي طَلَبِ رِضَائِي، وَالصَّبْرُ عَلى طَاعَتِي أيْسَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ عَلى حَرِّ النَّارِ، وَ عَذَابُ الدُّنْيَا أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ الآخِرَةِ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! كُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُهُ، وَ كُلكُمْ مَرِيضٌ إِلَّا مَنْ شَفَيْتُهُ، وَ كُلُّكُمْ فَقِيرٌ إلَّا مَنْ أغْنَيْتُهُ، وَ كُلُّكُمْ هَالِكٌ إلَّا مَنْ أنْجَيْتُهُ، وَ كُلُّكُمْ مُسِي‏ءٌ إلَّا مَنْ عَصَمْتُهُ، فَتُوبُوا إلَيَّ أَرْحَمْكُمْ وَ لَا تَهْتِكُوا أَسْتَارَكُمْ عِنْدَ مَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ أَسْرَارُكُمْ

Chapter 8

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam! I did not create you aimlessly, nor did I create you in vain. I am not heedless of your actions. Indeed you will not get what I posses but with being patient on those things which you don’t like (but you still do) in order to seekMy pleasure. Patience in My obedience is easier for you than patience in fire of Hell. Punishment in this world is easier for you than punishment in the Hereafter.

O, Son of Adam!all of you are lost except the one whom I guide. All of you are sick except the one whom I cure. All of you are going to be destroyed except the one whom I save. All of you are sinful except the one whom I protect. Thus seek pardon fromMe so that I can be merciful to you. Don nottry hard to hang up curtains in order to hide from the one from whom your secrets are not hidden.

الحديث التاسع‏

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! لَا تَلْعَنُوا الْمَخْلُوقِيْنَ فَتَرْجِعَ اللَّعْنَةُ عَلَيْكُمْ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! اسْتَقَامَتْ سَموَاتِي فِي الْهَوَاءِ بِلَا عَمَدٍ بِاسْمٍ مِنْ أسْمَائِي، وَ لَا تَسْتَقِيمُ قُلُوبُكُمْ بِألْفِ مَوْعِظَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِي

يَا أيُّهَا النَّاسُ!! كَما لَا يَلِينُ الْحَجَرُ فِي الْمَاءِ كَذَلِكَ لَا تُفِيدُ الْمَوْعِظَةُ فِي الْقُلُوبِ الْقَاسِيَةَ

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! كَيْفَ لَا تَجْتَنِبُونَ الْحَرَامَ، وَ لَا اكْتِسَابَ الْآثامِ، وَ لَا تَخَافُونَ النِّيْرَانَ، وَ لَا تَتَّقُونَ غَضَبَ الرَّحْمن! فَلَوْلَا مَشَائِخُ رُكَّعٌ وَ أَطْفَالٌ رُضَّعٌ وَ بَهَائِمُ رُتَّعٌ وَ شَبَابٌ خُشَّعٌ لَجَعَلْتُ السَّمَاء فَوْقَكُمْ حَدِيداً وَ الْأَرْضَ صُفْراً وَ التُّرَابَ جِمَاراً، وَ لَا أَنْزَلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَطْرَةً وَ لَا أنْبَتُّ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ حَبَّةً وَ صَبَبْتُ عَلَيْكُمُ العَذَابَ صَبّاً

Chapter 9

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam!do not curse My creatures, because the curse will bounce back to you. O, Son of Adam! My Heavens are suspended in space by one of My Names, without any pillars. Your hearts are not going to be straightened except byMy admonitions from My Book.

O, you people, stone does not dissolve in water; in the same way admonitions won’t change your cruel heart.

O, Son of Adam, why are you not protecting yourself from evil deeds? Why are you not protecting yourself from sins? Aren’t you afraid of Hell? Why aren’t you protecting yourself from the wrath of Allah? If it were not forRuku ’ (the kneeling) of elders(in prayers), suckling babies, grazing animals, humble youths, indeed I would have made the sky of steel, the earth of copper and the mud of pebbles. I would not have send a single drop of water from the sky nor grown a single grain from the earth. I would have poured on youMy worst wrath.

الحديث العاشر

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! قَد جَاءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ، وَ مَنْ شَاءِ فَلْيَكْفُرْ، وَ إنَّكُمْ لَا تُحْسِنُونَ إلَّا بِمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا تَصِلُونَ إلَّا لِمَنْ وَصَلَكُمْ وَ لَا تُكَلِّمُونَ إلَّا لِمَنْ كَلَّمَكُمْ، وَ لَا تُطْعِمُونَ إلّا لِمَنْ أَكْرَمَكُمْ، فَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَضْلٌ، إنَّما الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ الّذِينَ يُحْسِنُونَ إلَى مَنْ أسَاء إلَيْهِمْ، وَيَصِلُونَ إلَى مَنْ قَطَعَهُمْ وَ يُعْطُونَ إلَى مَنْ حَرَمَهُمْ، وَ نُنْصِفُونَ مَنْ خَانَهُمْ، وَ يُكَلِّمُونَ إلَى مَنْ هَاجَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَ يُكَرِّمُونَ مَنْ أَهَانَهُمْ

Chapter 10

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam!indeed the truth has been revealed to you from your Lord. Whoever wants to believe inHim, let him believe. And whoever wants to disbelieve, let him be a disbeliever. Indeed you are not good to a person, unless he is good to you. And you are not kind to your relatives, unless they are good to you. And you do not talk to a person, unless he talks to you. And you do not feed a person, unless he feeds you. And you are not just to a person, unless he is just to you. And you do not respect a person, unless he respects you. No one is superior overthe another . Indeed, the believers are: those who believe in Allah and His Messengers, do good to those who are bad to them, are kind to those who break ties of relationship with them, give to those who do not give to them, just to those who are unjust to them, talk to those who isolate themselves from them, respectful to those who don’t respect them.

الحديث الحادي عشر

يَا أَيُّها النَّاسُ!! إِنَّما الدُّنْيَا دَارُ مَنْ لاَ دَارَ لَهُ وَ مَالُ مَنْ لاَ مَالَ لَهُ وَلَهَا يَجْمَعُ مَنْ لاَ عَقْلَ لَهُ وَبِهَا يَفْرَحُ مَنْ لاَ يَقِينَ لَهُ وَعَلَيْها يَحْرِصُ مَنْ لاَ تَوَكُّلَ لَهُ وَيَطْلُبُ شَهَوَاتِها مَنْ لاَ مَعْرِفَةَ لَهُ؛ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ نِعْمَةَ زَائِلَةَ وَ حَياة مُنْقَطِعَة وَ شَهْوَةً فاِنيَة ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ وَ عَصَى رَبَّهُ وَ نَسِىَ آخِرَتَهُ وَ غَرَّتْهُ حَيَاتَهُ
