4. Book of Faith
٤۔ كِتَابُ الْإِيمَانِ
[Machine] He said in this verse, "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to their rightful owners" until his statement, "Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing." I saw the Prophet ﷺ placing his thumb on his ear and his index finger while supplicating on his eye.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا} رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَضَعُ إِبْهَامَهُ عَلَى أُذُنِهِ وَأُصْبَعَهُ الدَّعَّاءَ عَلَى عَيْنِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Allah does not sleep, nor is it fitting for Him to sleep. He lowers the scales of justice and raises them. The deeds of the day are lifted up to Him before the night, and the deeds of the night before the day. His veil is light, and if it were to be removed, the radiance of His face would burn everything that His sight reaches. He extends His hand during the night to accept the repentance of the wrongdoer of the day, and extends His hand during the day to accept the repentance of the wrongdoer of the night, until the sun rises from its west."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنَامُ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ يُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ عَمَلُ النَّهَارِ قَبْلَ اللَّيْلِ وَعَمَلُ اللَّيْلِ قَبْلَ النَّهَارِ حِجَابُهُ النُّورُ لَوْ كُشِفَ طَبَقُهَا أَحْرَقَ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَدْرَكَهُ بَصَرُهُ وَاضِعٌ يَدَهُ لِمُسِيءِ اللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوبَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَلُمُسِيءِ النَّهَارِ لِيَتُوبَ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ كُلَّ صِفَةٍ إِذَا وُجِدَتْ فِي الْمَخْلُوقِينَ كَانَ لَهُمْ بِهَا النَّقْصُ، غَيْرُ جَائِزٍ إِضَافَةُ مِثْلِهَا إِلَى الْبَارِي جَلَّ وَعَلَا
"Allah, the Mighty and Sublinm, says: 'The son of Adam denied Me and he had no right to do so. and the son of Adam reviled Me and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me, It is his saying that I will not resurrect him as I created him in the beginning, but resurrecting him is not more difficult for Me than creating him in the first place. And as for his reviling Me, it is his saying that Allah has taken a son, but I am Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, I beget not nor was I begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Me."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2078)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كَذَّبَنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبَنِي وَيَشْتُمُنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَشْتُمَنِي فَأَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ فَقَوْلُهُ لَنْ يُعِيدَنِي كَمَا بَدَأَنِي أَوَ لَيْسَ أَوَّلُ خَلْقٍ بِأَهْوَنَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ إِعَادَتِهِ وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ فَقَوْلُهُ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا وَأَنَا اللَّهُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ أَلِدْ وَلَمْ أُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ شَنَّعَ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْبِدَعِ عَلَى أَئِمَّتِنَا حَيْثُ حُرِمُوا التَّوْفِيقَ لِإِدْرَاكِ مَعْنَاهُ
[Machine] The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A person will be thrown into the fire, and it will say, 'Is there any more?' until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, places His foot in it, and then it will say, 'Enough, enough.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ حَتَّى يَضَعَ الرَّبُّ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَدَمَهُ فِيهَا فَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظَ مِنْ هَذَا النَّوْعِ أُطْلِقَتْ بِأَلْفَاظِ التَّمْثِيلِ وَالتَّشْبِيهِ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا يَتَعَارَفُهُ النَّاسُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ، دُونَ الْحُكْمِ عَلَى ظَوَاهِرِهَا
Verily, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I was sick but you did not visit Me. He would say: O my Lord; how could I visit Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Thereupon He would say: Didn't you know that such and such servant of Mine was sick but you did not visit him and were you not aware of this that if you had visited him, you would have found Me by him? O son of Adam, I asked food from you but you did not feed Me. He would say: My Lord, how could I feed Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He said: Didn't you know that such and such servant of Mine asked food from you but you did not feed him, and were you not aware that if you had fed him you would have found him by My side? (The Lord would again say: ) O son of Adam, I asked drink from you but you did not provide Me. He would say: My Lord, how could I provide Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Thereupon He would say: Such and such of servant of Mine asked you for a drink but you did not provide him, and had you provided him drink you would have found him near Me. (Using translation from Muslim 2569)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلْعَبْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي؟ وَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا اسْتَطْعَمَكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ؟ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ وَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارَ أُطْلِقَتْ بِأَلْفَاظِ التَّمْثِيلِ وَالتَّشْبِيهِ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا يَتَعَارَفُهُ النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ، دُونَ كَيْفِيَّتِهَا أَوْ وُجُودِ حَقَائِقِهَا
[Machine] Abu Al-Qasim (peace be upon him) said, "No servant gives charity from lawful earnings except that Allah accepts it only if it is pure, and it does not ascend to the heavens except in a pure state, as if he places it in the hand of the Most Merciful and He nurtures it for him, just as one of you nurtures a young horse or camel until even a morsel or a date will appear on the Day of Resurrection as a mountain."
أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ «مَا تَصَدَّقَ عَبْدٌ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا طَيِّبًا وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ إِلَّا طَيِّبٌ إِلَّا كَأَنَّمَا يَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا لَهُ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ وَفَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ اللُّقْمَةَ أَوِ التَّمْرَةَ لَتَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ الْعَظِيمِ»
