1.38 Allah's Love Toward His Pious Servants and the Way to Become One

١۔٣٨ محبة الله تعالى لأوليائه وبيان طريق الولاية

[Machine] Abu Hurayrah narrated that Allah the Almighty said, "Whoever opposes or disrespects my close friend, I declare war against him..." Narrated by Al-Bukhari.

عَنْ أبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: «إنَّ اللَّهَ تَعالى قالَ مَن عادى لِي ولِيًّا، فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالحَرْبِ۔۔۔» رَواهُ البُخارِيُّ

Drawing nearness to Allah through nawafil and voluntary good deeds

(38) bukhari:6502Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān > Khālid b. Makhlad > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > Sharīk b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Namir > ʿAṭāʾ > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah said: Whoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I have declared war against him.

My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me through voluntary deeds until I love him. When I love him, I become his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grasps, and his foot with which he walks. If he asks Me, I will surely give to him, and if he seeks My protection, I will surely protect him.

I do not hesitate over anything I am going to do as I hesitate over taking the soul of the believer: he dislikes death, and I dislike upsetting him."

(٣٨) البخاري:٦٥٠٢حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ: مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ، وَمَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ عَبْدِي بِشَىْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ»

«وَمَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَىَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطُشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا، وَإِنْ سَأَلَنِي لأُعْطِيَنَّهُ، وَلَئِنِ اسْتَعَاذَنِي لأُعِيذَنَّهُ»

«وَمَا تَرَدَّدْتُ عَنْ شَىْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ تَرَدُّدِي عَنْ نَفْسِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ»
