ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ وُقُوعِ الْفِتَنِ السَّمْعُ، وَالطَّاعَةُ لِمَنْ وَلِيَ عَلَيْهِ، مَا لَمْ يَأْمُرْهُ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ

[Machine] "O Commander of the faithful, open the door so that the people may enter. Do you think that I am from a people who recite the Quran, but their recitation does not go beyond their throats? They pass through religion like an arrow passes through its target, and then they do not return to it until the arrow returns on top of it? They are the worst of creation and creatures, and I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, if you commanded me to sit, I would not stand, and if you commanded me to stand, I would not be able to, even if you tied me to a camel, I would not release myself until you release me.

يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ افْتَحِ الْبَابَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ النَّاسُ أَتَحْسِبُنِي مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ؟ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُونَ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ السَّهْمُ عَلَى فُوقِهِ؟ هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَقْعُدَ لَمَا قُمْتُ وَلَوْ أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَكُونَ قَائِمًا لَقُمْتُ مَا أَمْكَنَتْنِي رِجْلَايَ وَلَوْ رَبَطْتَنِي عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لَمْ أُطْلِقْ نَفْسِي حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تُطْلِقُنِي ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الرَّبَذَةَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَأَتَاهَا فَإِذَا عَبْدٌ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فَقَالُوا أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَنَكَصَ الْعَبْدُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَقَدَّمْ فَقَالَ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي ﷺ بِثَلَاثٍ «أَنْ أَسْمَعَ وَأُطِيعَ وَلَوْ لِعَبْدٍ حَبَشِيٍّ مُجَدَّعِ الْأَطْرَافِ وَإِذَا صَنَعْتُ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا ثُمَّ انْظُرْ جِيرَانَكَ فَأَنِلْهُمْ مِنْهَا بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أَتَيْتَ الْإِمَامَ وَقَدْ صَلَّى كُنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَكَ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ لَكَ نَافِلَةٌ»
