Chapter 16

الحديث السادس عشر

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! أَنَا حَيُّ لاَ أَمُوتُ؛ إعْمَلْ بِما أمَرْتُكَ وَانْتَهِ عَمَّا نَهَيْتُكَ حَتَّى أَجْعَلَكَ حَيّاً لا تَمُوتُ. يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! أَنَا مَلِكٌ لاَ أزُولُ إِذا قُلْتُ لِشَي‏ءِ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ أطِعنِي فِيْما أمَرْتُكَ وَانْتَهِ عَمَّا نَهَيْتُكَ حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِشَي‏ءِ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ.

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! إذَا كَانَ قَوْلُكَ مَلِيحاً وَ عَمَلُكَ قَبِيْحاً فَأنْتَ رَأْسُ المَنَافِقِيْنَ وَ إنْ كَانَ ظَاهِرُك مَلِيحاً وَ بَاطِنُكَ قَبِيحاً فَأنْتَ أهْلَكُ الْهَالِكِيْنَ.

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! لا يَدْخُلُ جَنَّتي إلَّا مَنْ تَوَاضَعَ لِعَظَمَتِي وَ قَطَعَ نَهَارَهُ بِذِكْرِي وَ كَفَّ عَنِ الشَّهَوات مِنْ أَجْلِي وَ َيُراخِي الغَرِيْبَ وَ يُوَاسِي الفَقِيرَ وَ يَرْحَمُ الْمُصَابَ وَ يُكْرِم الْيَتِيمَ وَ يَكُونُ لَهُ كالأبِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ لِلأرَامِلِ كَالزَّوجِ الشَّفِيق، فَمَنْ كَانَ هَذِهِ صِفَتَهُ يَكُونُ إن دَعَانِي لَبَّيْتُهُ وَإنْ سَألَنِي أعْطَيْتُهُ.

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam! I am Ever-living. I will never die. Act on what I have commanded. Protect yourself from what I have prohibited, so I can make you eternal. O, Son of Adam!I am the king whose kingdom will never perish. When I say to a thing Be! it becomes. Obey what I have commanded and stay away from those things I have prohibited, to the extent that when you say to a thing Be! it becomes. If your sayings are sweet and your deeds are bad, you are the leader of the hypocrites. If your appearance is beautiful and your inside is disgraceful, you will be worse than those people who have been destroyed.

O, Son of Adam! no one will enter my Heaven except: One who has humbled himself in front of My greatness. One who has spent his day in My remembrance. One who has safeguarded his soul from lust, for the sake of Allah. One who shows brotherhood towards traveller. One who takes care of poor. One who is merciful towards the afflicted. And one who respects the orphans and acts as a kind father to them. And for the widows he is like a tender husband. The one who has these qualities, if he calls Me I will answer him at once and if he asks Me (for anything) I will give it to him.

الحديث السابع عشر

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! إِلى كَمْ تَشْكُونَنِي وَ إِلَى كَمْ تََنْسُونَنِي وَ إِلَ? كَمْ تَكفُرونَنِي وَ لَسْتُ بِظَلّامٍ لِعَبيْدِ وَ إلَى مَتَى تَجْحَدُونَ بِنِعْمَتِي وَ رِزْقُكُمْ يَأتِيْكُم في كُلِّ يَومٍ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَإلى مَتَى تَجْحَدُونَ بِرُبوبِيَّتي وَ لَيْسَ لَكُم رَبُّ غَيْرِي وَ إلَى مَتَى تَجْفُونَنِي وَ لَمْ أَجْفُكُمْ وَ إِذا طَلَبْتُمُ الطَّبِيْبَ لَِأْبدَانِكُمْ فَمَنْ يَشْفِيكُمْ عَنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ فَقَدْ شَكُوْتُمْ وَسَخِطتُمْ قَضَائي؛ وَ إذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ قُوتَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا بِشَرِّ وَ لَسْتُ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَدْ جَحَدَ بِنِعْمَتِي؛ وَ مَنْ مَنَعَ الزَّكاةَ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِكِتابِي؛ وَ إذا عَلِم بِوَقْتِ الصَّلاَةِ وَ لَمْ يَفْرَغْ لَهَا فَقَدْ غَفَلَ عَنّي؛ وَ إِذا قَالَ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ ابْلِيْسَ فَقَدْ جَحَدَ رُبُوبِيَّتِي وَ جَعَلَ إبْلِيسَ شَريْكاً لِي.

Chapter 17

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam! up to what extent will you forget Me? Up to what extent will you deny Me? I am not in the least unjust to the servants. Each and every day you get your sustenance from Me. Up to what extent will you keep on denying My bounties? And up to what extent will you deny My Master-ship? You don't have any other Lord besides Me.

And how long are you going to treat Me rudely? I have never been unjust to you. When you are sick and require the help of a doctor; who is going to cure (intercede) for your sins? Indeed you complained and you are displeased with My decree. If you don't get food for three days then you say " I am wicked I wasn't pious". Indeed, has he denied My bounties? And the one who did not give Zakat (alms) from his wealth, indeed he has condemned My Book. And when he knows that it is time of payer and he does not pray, indeed he is careless about Me. And when he thinks that good is from Me and evil is from Satan, indeed he has denied My Lordship and made Iblis (Satan) My partner.

الحديث الثامن عشر

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! إصْبِرْ وَ تَوَاضَعْ أَرْفَعْكَ وَ اشْكُرْ لِي أَزِدْكَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي أغْفِرْ لَكَ وَ أدْعُنِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكَ وَاسْألْنِي أُعْطِكَ وَ تَصَدَّقْ لِي أُبَارِكْ لَكَ فِي رِزْقِكَ وَصِلْ رَحِمَكَ أَزِدْ فِي عُمْرِكَ وَ أُنْسِي أَجَلَكَ وَ اطْلُبْ مِنِّي الْعَافِيَةَ بِطُوْلِ الصِّحَّةِ وَ اطْلُبِ السَّلاََمَةَ فِي الْوَحْدَةِ وَالإخْلاَصَ فِي الْوَرَعِ وَ الزُّهْدَ فِى التَّوبَةِ وَ العِبَادَةَ فِي العِلْمِ وَ الغِنَى فِي الْقَنَاعَةِ.

يَابْنَ آدَمَ!! كَيْفَ تَطْمَعُ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ مَعَ الشَّبَعِ وَ كَيْفَ تَطْلُبُ جَلاَء الْقَلْب مَعَ كَثْرَةِ النَّومِ وَ كَيْفَ تَطْمَعُ فِي الْخَوْفِ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَعَ خَوْفِ الْفَقْرِ وَ كَيْفَ تَطْمَعُ فِي مَرْضَاةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَعَ احْتِقَارِ الْفُقَرَاءِ والْمَسَاكِين.

Chapter 18

Almighty Allah says:

O, Son of Adam! be patient and be humble and I will elevate you. Thank Me and I will increase your bounties. Seek pardon from Me, and I will forgive you. Call upon Me, I will answer you. Ask of Me, I will provide for you. Give alms in My way, and I will bless you with bounties. Be kind towards your relatives, and I will add to your age by delaying death. Seek from Me good health as long as you are healthy.

And while you are alone seek safety from Me. Seek sincerity in purity. Seek piety in repentance (Tawba). Seek worship in knowledge. Seek independence in contentment. O, Son of Adam! how can you be curious of worship when your stomach is full? How can you enlighten your heart by sleeping a lot? How can you have fear of Allah with fear of poverty? How can you seek the pleasure of Almighty Allah by degrading the poor and the beggars?
