(The book) ‘Kitab Al Gharaat’ of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, from Abu Zakariya Al Jareery, from one of
his companions who said,

‘A sermon of Amir Al-Momineen-asws is: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! We praise Him-azwj, and
seek His-azwj Assistance, and seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the evil of our own selves, and
from the evil of our deeds. One whom Allah-azwj Guides, there is no strayer for him, and the
one whom Allah-azwj Lets to stray, there is no guide for him.

And I-asws testify there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is not associate for Him-azwj; and
I-asws testify Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww. He-azwj Selected him-saww
with the Wilayah and Specialised him-saww with the honours, and Sent him-saww with the
Message. He-saww is the most Beloved of His-azwj creatures to Him-azwj and their most
Honourable to Him-azwj. He-saww delivered Messages of his-saww lord-azwj and advised his-saww
community, and fulfilled that which was upon him-saww.

I-asws advise you all with fearing Allah-azwj, for fearing Allah-azwj is the best of what the servants
can be advised with, and is closest to the Satisfaction of Allah-azwj and best in end-result of the
matters. You have been Commanded with fearing Allah-azwj and have been Created for it,
therefore fear Allah-azwj with fear which is neither for reputation nor is deficient.

Surely, He-azwj neither Created you in vain and nor is going to leave you neglected. He-azwj is
Counting your deeds, and has Named your terms, and Writes your impacts, so the world
should not deceive you for it is a deception. Deceived is the one deceived by it, and to
annihilation is what it is.

We-asws ask Allah-azwj, our-asws Lord-azwj and your Lord-azwj to Grace us and your fearfulness of
the fortunate ones, and status of the martyrs, and friendship of the Prophets-as, for rather
we-asws are with Him-azwj and for Him-azwj’’.1

He-azwj is deserving of the praise and the lofty extollations, and we-asws seek His-azwj Forgiveness
for corrosiveness of the mistakes (sins), and seek His-azwj Excuse from the occasional sins of
the afflictions, and we-asws believe in Allah-azwj (being) reassured regarding His-azwj Commands,
and we-asws seek His-azwj Guidance, the Protecting, the Saving, the Determined with the
determinations, goodly Measured, Obligating, Decisive, Just, Spacious, Implementing with
success, preceding with happiness in the Hidden Benevolent Book.

And we-asws seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the narrowness of the narrow ways upon its
people after the widening of manifestos of truth, blurring the radiant signs of guidance by
wearing the clothes of dilemmas of Fitna.

And we-asws testify without suspicions of a state below sincere certainty that Allah-azwj is One,
Individual. He-azwj Fulfils His-azwj Promise and His-azwj Ties are strong, His-azwj Words are true.
There is neither any associate for Him-azwj in the Command nor is there any guardian for
Him-azwj from the disgrace. We-asws extolled His-azwj Greatness with Takbeer. There is no god
except He-azwj, the Mighty, the Wise.

A wading for the wading ones with a house of clashes, its darkness is deep Kufr, so he -saww
cleared the opaque darkness, stagnant, pungent, by the decisiveness of his-saww signs from
after the arrival of his-saww words; and he-saww decided the word for the reminded ones, by the
Decisive (Verses) from it, proofs, and Allegorical (Verses) followed by the deviant heart
seeking the interpretation, exposing to the Fitna encompassing its people.

And the truth is a peak, irradiating. The one who obeys the Rasool-saww has obeyed Allah-azwj,
and the one who obeys Allah-azwj deserves the Appreciation from Allah-azwj with excellent
Recompense, while the one who disobeys Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww will witness the
difficult Reckoning at the meeting, a Decree with the justice during the retaliation with the
truth on a Day the creatures will be going to the Creator.

As for after, a silent one listening to preaching, his silence will benefit him, and a silent one
with understanding pre-occupies his heart with the contemplation regarding the Commands
of Allah-azwj until he is insightful, so he recognises the merits of obeying Him -azwj upon
disobeying Him-azwj, and the nobility of the peak of His-azwj Rewards over the release of His-azwj
Punishment.

of the souls, and Splitter of the skies’’.2

Indeed, and the sins are unruly horses carrying its people upon it, and their reins are loose,
and they plummet with them into the Fire.

Indeed! And surely the piety is a well-trained horse carrying its people upon it and they are
given its reins, and they arrive with them to the Paradise. Truth and falsehood, and for each
there are people. So, if the matter is false, then it has been done such since ancient times,
and even if the truth was little, sometimes, and perhaps, and scarcely does a thing which has
turned around (gone), would return’.

He is pre-occupied, the one who the Paradise and the Fire are in front of him; a quick striver

right and the left are strayers while the middle road is the main path. Upon it remains the
Book and the Ahadeeth of the Prophet-saww, and from it the Sunnah is implement, and to it
are destined the end-results.

He-azwj has neither Placed it for His-azwj friends nor has He-azwj been miserly with upon His-azwj

And if a side from it is pleasant and sweet, (another) side from it would be a bitter plague. Its

And he-asws said one day in the Masjid of Al-Kufa, and there were faces of (important) people
in his-asws presence: ‘O you people! We have come to be in an era of stubbornness, and
severely difficult times. The good doer is counted in it as an evil doer, and in it the oppressor
is being increasingly excessive. Neither are we benefitting from what we know nor are we
asking about what we are ignorant of, nor are we fearing a calamity until it befalls upon us.

And from them is the one who overcomes with his sword, and is open with his evil, and the
fetcher with his cavalry and his infantry. He has sold his soul and ruined his religion for the
wealth he seizes, or an army he leads, or a pulpit he can ascend, and evil is the trade that he
sees the world to be a price for his soul, and from what there is for you in the Presence of
Allah-azwj as compensation.

And from them is one who seeks the word by the work of the Hereafter, and he does not seek
the Hereafter with the work of the world. He reassures himself and small is his steps, and rolls
up his clothes, and adorns himself for the entrustments, and takes the Veil of Allah-azwj as a
means to the disobedience.

And from them is one sits back from seeking the kingdom due to weakness of his self, and
cutting off of his causes, so the situation reduces him to be upon his state. He gives it the
name of contentment and adorns with the apparent of the ascetic people, and he isn’t from
that in neither any exuberance (energy) nor any such quality.

And there remains men who close their eyes remembering the return, and their tears flow in
fear of the Resurrection. They are between a displaced club, and fearfully suppressed, and
gagged into silence, and sincerely supplicating, and in painful bereavement. The dissimulation
has deactivated them, and the humiliation has covered them.

Thus, they are in a bitter ocean, their mouths are closed tight, and their hearts are sore. They
advised until they were fed up, and they were coerced until they were humiliated, and they
were killed until they were few (left).

So, let the world be smaller in your eyes than rubbish scum, and leather trimmings, and take

come after you, and refuse it reprehensibly for it has rejected the ones who were more in

And he-asws said: ‘The human being is intellect and image. The one whom the intellect errs him
and the image necessitates him, he would not be perfect, and he would be at the status of
the one having no soul in him; and the one who seeks the familiar intellect, let him recognise
image of the origin and the surplus, for most of the people are seeking the surplus and are
wasting the original. The one who guards the original will suffice with it from (not having) the
surplus.

And the origin of matters is in seeking the Permissible for what one can spend, and the
gentleness in the seeking, while the origin of the matters in religion is that one depends upon
the Salats, and shuns the major sins, and necessitates that with a necessitation of what there
is avoidance from it for the blink of an eye, and if you deprive it, it will perish. If you were to
exceed it to the understanding and the worship, it is the good fortune.

And the origin of the intellect is the chastity and its fruit is the disavowing from the sins; and
the origin of the chastity is the contentment and its fruit is lack of grief; and origin of the
helping is the strength and its fruit is the success; and origin of the intellect (deed) is the
power and its fruit is the happiness.

And one cannot seek assistance upon the times except with the intellect, nor upon the
education except with the discussion, nor upon the ancestry except with the loyalty, nor upon
the dignity except with the loving each other, nor upon the happiness except with the

spending except by seeking the reciprocation, nor upon the humility except with the safety

And he-asws said: ‘You will not be guided to the resoluteness without evidence of the intellect,
for you will err from the method of opinion, for the best intellect is recognising the truth by
itself, and the best knowledge is the man pausing at (extent of) his knowledge, and the best
manliness is the man cause the water of his face (honour) to remain, and the best wealth is
what the honour can be saved with and the rights can be fulfilled with it’’.12

‘I did not benefit from any speech after Rasool-Allah-saww like I benefitted with a letter Ali-asws

cheered by coming across what (he) would not have lost it, and it saddens him the loss of
what he was not going to attain.

Therefore, let your happiness be with what you attain from your Hereafter and let your regret
be upon what you have lost from it, and whatever you have gained from your world, do not
be frequently happy with it, and whatever you have lost from it, do not despair by being
alarmed upon it, and let your worry be regarding what is after the death. And the greetings’’.13

And he-asws said to a group: ‘Take these phrases from me-asws, for even if you were to ride
mounts (horses) until you exhaust them, you will not attain the likes of these: -

A servant should not hope except to his Lord-azwj, nor be fearing except his sin, nor be
embarrassed when he does not know, from learning, nor be embarrassed when asked about
what he does not know, from saying, ‘I don’t know’.

The key of Paradise is the patience, and the key of nobility is the humbleness, the key of riches
is the conviction, the key of benevolence is the piety. One who wants to be noble let him
necessitate the humility; the fascination of the person with himself is one of the harvests of
his intellect; the calmness is before the resoluteness; opposite of the resoluteness is
happiness of the one whose conviction is good’’.17

And he-asws said: ‘Vanity Annoys the Beneficent and satisfies the Satan-la and makes one forget
the Quran. Upon you all is with the truthfulness, for Allah-azwj is with the truthful. The
embezzled is the one embezzled from his religion. Shun the lying of it shuns the Eman; and
the truthful is upon the way of salvation and honours, while the liar is on the verge of
destruction and weakness.

who betrays you; and connect the kinship of the one who cuts you off; and repeat with the

And he-asws said: ‘There is neither any rest for a jealous, nor any cordiality for one fed-up, nor
any personality for a liar, nor any nobility for a miser, nor any mettle for a dishonourable one,
nor safety for the one frequently mingling with the people. Being alone is comfort, and the
seclusion is (an act of) worship, and the contentment is richness, and the moderation is
sufficiency, and justice of the ruler is better than affluence of the times; and the one
honourable with other than Allah-azwj is dishonourable; and the greedy rich one is (actually)
poor.

you to know your status with them.

And be careful from the one, when you narrate to him he gets bored, and when he narrates
to you he saddens you, and if you cheer him or hurt him he will go with you regarding it in
your way, and if he separates from you his absence worsens you by his mentioning you badly,
and if you prevent him he will slander you and fabricate, and if you agree with him he will
envy you and transgress, and if you oppose him he will hate you and argue bitterly.

And he-asws said in ‘Al-Amsaal’: ‘With the patience one can defend against the calamities; the
panicking is from types of deprivations; the familiar justice; and the personal desires are a
tyranny; and the abandonment is a punishment of passion; the stinginess is a robe of poverty;
do not feel secure with a bored person; moving the lofty mountains is easier than harmonising
the discordant hearts.

One who follows the personal desires, strays; the bravery is patience for a while; best of the
affairs are its middle ones; the distracted heart is a hostage; one who loves you reproaches
you (advising you); the lacking is a disgrace; the hunger is poverty; best of your family is one
who suffices you; neglecting the sin is easier than seeking the repentance.

One who is fond of envy, the inauspicious would be fond of him; how many times one who
flatters was damaged, how many times one who was extravagant fell recurrently sick; an
intellectual enemy is better than a stupid friend; the inclination is from the happiness and the
abandonment is from the wretchedness; one who searches faults of the people should begin
with himself; one who was (working) regarding a need of his brother, Allah -azwj would be
(Working) regarding his need.

One who is safe from tongues of the people would be fortunate; one accompanying the kings
will be pre-occupied with the world; the poverty is a part of Kufr; one who falls into tongues
of the people is destroyed; one who guards from falling of the speech will be successful; every
act of kindness is a charity; how many strangers are better than the close ones.

If wisdom were to be thrown at a mountain it will shake it; how many drowning ones have
been destroyed in the sea of ignorance, and how many scholars have been destroyed by the
world; best of your brothers is the one who consoles you, and better than him is the one who
suffices you with good of your wealth; what assists you upon your need is better than the one
being patient upon it; one there is no escape for you from him, is more rightful.

One who obeys a guide will not disobey you; and who loves the world will amass it for others;
the act of kindness is an obligation; and the days are states; at the end of the afflictions the
relief happens; one who were in the bounties will ignore the worth of the afflictions; one
whose happiness is little, his comfort would be in the death; the little grows, so it multiplies,
and the lot diminishes, so it goes away.

Sometimes a meal prevents meals; the most winning of the people of an argument is one his
adversary testifies to him with the success; the begging is a disgrace and the giving is love;
one who digs a pit for his brother would fall into it; the worthiest controlling upon you is your
tongue; good management with the sufficiency is the more sufficing with the extravagance.

The immorality is like its name; with every gulp there is choking, with every eating (morsel)
there is choking; in accordance to the happiness happens the distress; the personal desire
collapses with the owner of the personal desire; enemy of the intellect is the personal desire;
the night is most hiding of the woe; company of the evil people inherits the evil thoughts with
the good people.

One who frequents from a thing will be known by it; sometimes many are agitated by
something small; sometimes a blamed on has no sin for him; the free one is free and even if
the harm touches him; he does not stray, the one who seeks guidance, nor is he confused,
the one who consults; the resolute one is not enslave by his opinion; grant safety from
yourself to the one you trust with upon your secret; the cordiality between the fathers is a
relationship between the sons’’.22

And he-asws said: ‘One who is satisfied from himself the ones angered upon him will be a lot;
and one who is extensive in the disputes, sins; and one who is deficient in it is wronged; one
whose would be honourable to him, his lustful desires will be insignificant to him; there isn’t
any price for your souls except the Paradise, therefore do not see it except for it.

َ ْ َ

One who deems the small disasters at mighty, Allah-azwj will Afflict him with its major ones;
The governances are testing tracks of the men; there isn’t any city more rightful from you
than a city, and best of the cities is the one which carries you (you can earn enough); when
there were to be wonderful traits in the man, then await its sister (counterpart); the
backbiting is an effort by the frustrated one; sometimes the tempted is due to the excellence
of the intellect in him.

What is for son of Adam-as and the priding? His beginning is a seed and his ending is a corpse.
Neither can he sustain himself nor can he prevent his death; the world deceives, and harms
and passes by. Allah-azwj the Exalted is not Satisfied it being a Reward for His-azwj friends, nor

as a Punishment for His-azwj enemies; and people of the world are like riders, while they pause,
when their usher shouts, so they depart.

One who knocks down the truth, it will knock him down; the heart is a book of insight; the
piety is chief of the morals; how excellent is the humbling by the rich to the poor seeking what
is in the Presence of Allah-azwj, and more excellent than it is the priding of the poor upon the
rich relying upon Allah-azwj; all limited upon is sufficient; the times are two (types of) days – a
day for you and a day against you. If it were to be for you, do not disregard (it), and if it were
to be against you, do not rebuke (it).

One who seeks something, attains it, or part of it; the inclining towards the world is with
(despite) what is seen, is ignorance, while the being deficient in good works despite trusting
with the Rewards upon it is embezzlement; and the reassurance to each one should be before
the testing; inability and the stinginess are a summary of the evil manners.

A bounty of Allah-azwj upon the servant is an attraction of needs of the people to him, so the
one who stands regarding these for the Sake of Allah-azwj with what is obligated, exposes these
(bounties) for the permanency, and one who does not stand in it with what is obligated,
exposes it to the decline and the annihilation.

The desire is a key of toiling, and the envy is a mount (ride) of exhaustion; one who knows
that his speech is from his deeds, little would be his speech, except regarding what concerns
him; one who looks at faults of the people, so he dislikes these, then he loves these for
himself, so that is the idiot exactly; the chastity is an adornment of the poverty, and the thanks
is an adornment of the riches.

Your messenger is an interpreter of your intellect, and your letter is further reaching of what
is spoken; the people are sons of the world and the man cannot be blamed upon loving his
mother; the greed is a disloyal guarantor, and the aspirations blind the eye of insights; there
is no trade like the righteous deed, and there is no profit like the Rewards.

And there is no leader like the inclination, nor any pedigree like the humility, nor any nobility
like the knowledge, nor any devoutness like the pausing at the doubtful matter, nor any pair
like good morals, nor any worship like fulfilling the obligations, nor any intellect like the

And he-asws heard a man from the ‘Harouriya’ (Kharijites) reciting (Quran) and holding vigil at
night (for Salat). He-asws said: ‘Sleep upon conviction is better than Salat in doubt; when the
intellects are complete reduces the talk; worth of the man is worth of his endeavours; value
of every person is what he improves; the wealth is a substance of the lustful desires; the
people are enemies of what they are ignorant of; the breaths of the person are his steps to
his death’’.24

of safety except in the morning he is in flapping (feathers) of fear.

And the mouth of its authority keeps changing, and its life is turbid, and its fresh water is salty,

exposure to death, and its healthy ones with exposure to sickness, and its invincible ones with

Allah-azwj the Majestic is Saying from a speaker: One who wanted the life of the world and its
adornments, We shall Fulfil their deeds therein and they would not be devalued [11:15] They
are those, there wouldn’t be for them in the Hereafter except the Fire, and it would be
Confiscated whatever they had been doing in it, and it would be invalidated whatever they
had been working [11:16].

He-asws said to him: ‘Then why did you condemn it? Isn’t is a house of truthfulness for the one
who ratifies it, and a house of riches for the one who provides from it, and a house of well

So, who is that who would condemn it, and it has proclaimed with its ending, and called out
with its termination, and warned of its afflictions? If it befalls with a calamity, it ends a desire,
and if it strikes with an abhorrence, it results in a (new) desire. (Some) men condemn it on a
day of regret while others are praising it. It narrates to them so they are ratifying, and it
reminds them so they are mindful.

O you condemner of it, the one deceived by its deceptions! When has it deceived you, or
when did it become condemnable to you? Is it due to the lying places of your forefathers from
the decay, or with the graves of your foremothers beneath the soil?

How many fell ill by your hands and fell sick, and it made you taste the martyrdom and
patience? If you were to condemn it due to its patience so you should praise it for its
martyrdom, or else drop it. Neither praise nor condemnation. It has resembled yourself for
you when neither will your crying avail you nor your loved ones will have mercy on you’’.26

Hereafter is coming over and it has proclaimed with the emergence. Indeed, the race track is

Indeed, and the race is (to) the Paradise, and the peak (of failure) is the Fire! Indeed, and you
are in the days of respite (opportunity), from behind it is term being ushered hastily. The one
who works during days of his opportunity before permeation of his death, his work will
benefit him and his hopes will not harm him, while the one who does not work in the days of
his opportunity before his death presents, his hopes will harm him and his work will not
benefit him.

And even if one of you were to live for a thousand years, the death will reach him and catch
up with him. So do not let your wishes deceive you nor let the arch-deceive you of Allah-azwj;
and there have been dwellers for this world before you. They had built buildings in it, and
they made homelands.

Their bodies have come to be lifeless in their graves, and their souls are dormant. The loser

And he-asws said: ‘The world isn’t a house of settlement nor is it a place of staying. But rather,
you are in it like riders who have descended and are resting, then they will be departing. So,
they come and go. They enter it light and they depart from it heavy. They do not find any

It was serious with them, so they were serious, and they inclined to the world, so they did not
prepare (for the Hereafter) until they were seized by their throats and they departed to a
straight house. There does not remain any news for most of them nor any impacts. Little was
their remaining in the world and they were hastened with to the Hereafter (for) their
Resurrection, and you have become dwellers in their houses and are treading upon their
footsteps.

And the deaths are conducting with you a conduct, there is no fatigue in it, nor are your days

continue with you to the house of Rewards and the Punishments, and the Recompense and

And he-asws said: ‘The world will be declining from you just as it had declined from the ones
who were before you. Servants of Allah-azwj! Increase your struggles in it with the provide
(resources) from its short days for a long Day of the Hereafter, for it is a house of working
while house of the Hereafter is the house of settlement and the Recompense.

Turn away from it, for the deceived is the one deceived by it. You will never violate the world
when the wishes of the people desirous regarding it, the ones reassured to it, the ones
deceived by it are coming to it. You will become like what Allah-azwj the Exalted Says: But
rather, an example of the life of the world is like water We Send down from the sky. So it
mingles with the vegetation of the earth from what the people and the animals eat, [10:24].

Indeed! A person from you will not be achieving any joy from this world except it will be

from it – (his condition) will be succeeded by a disaster or his bounties would change, or his
health would decline.

And the death is from behind that, and the emerging horrors, and the pausing in front of the
Wise, the Just for Recompensing every soul with what it had earned, [45:22] – and He-azwj
will Recompense those committers of evil for what they had done, and (for) Him to
Recompense those did good, with the Goodness [53:31]’’.29

And he-asws said: ‘What is for you and the world? Its belongings are to the termination, and its
pride is to a scourge, and its adornments are to decline, and its bounties are to ruination, and
its health is to sickness or old age, and whatever is in it is inclining to quick depletion and a
near annihilation, and every living being in it is linked to wear and tear.

May Allah-azwj have Mercy on a person who contemplates, and takes a lesson, and sees the
turning around what does turn around, and presence of what is present. It is as if he has not
existed from the world, after a little he will not be existing, and it is as if he has not ceased to

Every time its companion is reassured to happiness, it takes him to its abhorrence. The person
becomes happy with what he was not going to lose, and he grieves at the loss of what he was
not going to get, ever, and even if had struggled.

Let your happiness be with what you have sent ahead, either a deed or a word, and let your
regret be upon what you have been excessive in from that; and do not be grieving upon what
you lose from the world and whatever afflicts you from it, for you will not enjoy with it happily,
and make your worries be for what is after the death, for Surely what you are Threatened
with would come, [6:134]’’.32

And Allah-azwj has not Mentioned anything He-azwj has Specialised from it for anyone of His-azwj
Guardians-asws nor His-azwj Prophets-as, and He-azwj did not Turn it away from His-azwj enemies.
Its good is small and its evils are excessive, and its collection depletes, and its kingdom gets
stripped, and its honour perishes.

The ones enjoying from the world, their hearts are crying and even if they are happy, and
their hatred for themselves intensifies and even if they are joyful with part of what they have
been Graced. The world is perishable, there is no remaining for it, while the Hereafter is
remaining, there is no perishing for it. The world is coming forward, and the Hereafter is a
refuge of the world, and there is no transfer for (from) the Hereafter nor any end point.

And he-asws said: ‘But rather the world is a house of annihilation, and tiredness, and changes,
and a lesson. From its annihilation is your seeking the times having pulled the string of its
bow, aiming its arrow, shooting at the healthy with the sickness, and the living with the death,
and the innocent with the accusation.

And from its tiredness is your seeing the person amassing what he cannot eat, and building
what he will not dwell in, and hoping for what he cannot realise (achieve).

And from its changes is that you are seeing the Mercied being envied, and the envied being
Mercied. There isn’t anything between them except declining bounties, or mutilation
released, or death befalling.

will make him lonely, and one who is desirous regarding it, it will weaken him, and one who

who necessitates it, it degrades him, and the one who prefers it, it distances him from the
Hereafter, and the one who is remote from the Hereafter, he is near to the Fire.

Prohibited unto them, raising their ears to the knowledge.

Their souls descended from them into affliction just as they descended into the prosperity.
Had it not been for the term having been Prescribed upon them, their souls would not have
settled in their bodies for the blink of an eye yearning for the Rewards and fear from the
Punishment. The Creator is Mighty in their eyes and whatever is besides Him -azwj is small in
their eyes.

ٌ‫يمة‬ ِ ِِ ِِ ِ ‫وِم َُْمزونَةٌ و ُشرورهم مأْمونَةٌ و حوائِجهم خ ِفي َفةٌ و أَنْ ُفسهم‬ ِ َّ

So, they are as if they have seen the Paradise and its bounties, and the Fire and its
Punishments. Their hearts are grieving, and others are safe from their slip-ups, and their
needs are light, and their selves are weak, and their assistance to their brethren is mighty.
They are taking the earth as a carpet, and its water as perfume, and they reject the world with
a rejection, and they are being patient for a few days.

‫وها َو طَلَبَتْ ُه ْم فَ َهَربُوا ِمنْ َها‬ ٌّ ‫احةً طَ ِويلَةً ُِتَ َارَُتُ ْم ُم ْرَِِةٌ يُبَ َُِرُه ْم َِِا َر‬ ِ ‫فَصار‬

Thus, their end result has become a prolonged rest, their trade being profitable. The
benevolent Lord-azwj Gives them glad tidings with it. The world wants them but they don’t
want it, and it seeks them while they are running from it.

As for the night, their feet are in a row (for Salat). They recite the Quran reciting it distinctively.
Whenever they pass by a Verse wherein is incitement (for Paradise) they incline towards it
covetously, and their souls yearn in anticipation, so it become installed in their eyes.

And whenever they pass by a Verse wherein is a scare (of Hell), they listen to it with their
hearts and their eyes, so their skins shiver from it and their hearts palpitate out of fear and
soften, and their bodies weaken, and exhalations of Hell and its inhalations, and clinking of its
iron chains are in their ears. They fall down on their faces and their hands, their tears flow
upon their cheeks. They seek shelter to Allah-azwj the Exalted in liberating their necks.

And as for the day, they are righteous scholars, pious, the fearing having made them

not insane.

When they mention the Magnificence of Allah-azwj, and Intensity of His-azwj Authority, and they
remember the death and situations of Qiyamah, their hearts dry up, and their dreams are
broken, and their minds are stunned. When they awaken from that, they rush to Allah -azwj
with the pure deeds. They are not satisfied with the little nor are they deeming the more to
be a lot. They accuse their own selves and are fearful from their deeds.

If one of them is commended, he fears Allah-azwj and is distressed at the commendation. He

says, ‘And I am more knowing with myself than others are, and my Lord-azwj is more Knowing
than I am. O Allah-azwj! Do not Seize me with what they are saying and Make me just as they
are thinking, and Forgive for me what they are not knowing’.

And from the signs of one of them is, there would be resoluteness for him in gentleness, and
Eman in conviction, and hunger in piety, and understanding in his jurisprudence, and
forbearing in knowledge, and cleverness in kindness, and moderation in riches, and humility
in worship, and tolerance in destitution, and patience in adversity, and the giving regarding a
right, and seeking the Permissible, and activity in guidance, and shy away from greed, and
disdain from habits, and righteousness in integrity.

And he seeks Protection with Allah-azwj from pursuing the lustful desires, and seeks Refuge

(Allah-azwj), and comes to a morning and his pre-occupation is the thinking (Zikr).

So, they are servants of Allah-azwj, those who are walking upon the earth humbly, and are
taking it as a carpet, and its soil as a bed. They reject the world and are attentive to the
Hereafter, being upon the manifesto of the Messiah, son-as of Maryam-as.

If they are present, they are not recognised, and if they are absent, they are not missed, and
if they are sick, they are not consoled. They fast in the heat (of the day), standing in the
darkness (of the night for Salat). Every Fitna fades away in their presence, and every suspicion
clears away from them.

If they are angry, they are not unjust, and if they are pleased, they are not extravagant. He

with him. These ones, they are the wanderers (seeking knowledge), the weakened (from

people are sleeping while they are holding vigil.

bleary from vigils. The religiousness is attached upon them, and the humility is necessitated
upon them.

Every time a predecessor goes from them, he is replaced in his place by a replacement. They
are those who are wanting the Qiyamah. Their faces are like the moon on the night of the full
moon. The former ones and the latter ones will envy them, and their will neither be any fear
upon them nor will they be grieving’’.43

And he-asws said: ‘The Momin is desirous regarding what is to remain, and is abstemious
regarding what is to perish. He mixes the forbearance with the knowledge, and the knowledge
with the action. His laziness is remote and his activity is constant, near are his hopes, his heart
is alive, his tongue is a Zakir (does Zikr).

He does not discuss with what the friends cannot be trusted upon, nor does he conceal
testimony of the enemies. He does not do anything from the good to show-off, nor does he
leave it out of embarrassment. The good is hoped from him and the evil is safe from him.

If he were to be among the doers of Zikr, he would not be written as being among the heedless
ones, and if he were to be among the heedless ones, he would be written as being from the
doers of Zikr; and he pardons the one who offends him, and gives to the one who deprives
him, and he connects with the one who cuts him off, and he does good to the one bad to him.

His forbearance is not far, nor does he haste regarding what is suspicious to him; remote is
his ignorance, nearby is his goodness, absent is his evil. His speech is truthful, his actions are
good, his good comes forwards and his evil turns around (going away). In the disturbances he
is dignified, and in the abhorrence, he is patient, and in the prosperity he is thankful.

He is not unfair upon the one he hates nor does he sin regarding the one he loves, nor does
he claim what isn’t for him, nor does he reject any right upon him. He acknowledges the truth
before it is testified upon him, nor does he waste what he preserves, and he is not desirous
regarding what the necessity calls him to.

He does not entitle (others) with the (bad) titles, nor does he rebel against anyone, nor does
he mock the people, nor is he harmful with the neighbours, nor does he gloat at the
calamities. He is discipline with paying back the entrustment, quick to the acts of obedience,
preserving upon the Salats, slow regarding the evil deeds.

He does not enter upon the matters with ignorance, nor does he exit from the truth due to
frustration. If he is silent, the silence does not sadden him, and if he speaks, he does not say
the inappropriate, and if he laughs, his voice does not rise above his own ears, nor does the
anger overwhelm him, nor do the personal desires overcome him, nor does the greed subdue
him, nor do the lustful desires control him.

He mingles with the people in order to learn, and he keeps silent in order to be safe, and he
asks in order to understand. He listens to the good in order to work with it and does not speak
with it in order to pride upon the ones other than him. His self is fatigued from him while the
people are at rest from him. He exhausts himself for his Hereafter and he disobeys his
personal desires to obeying his Lord-azwj.

His distancing is from the one who is distant from integrity, and his nearness is from the ones
who are near from the gentleness and mercy. His distancing isn’t from arrogance nor is his
separation a deception. He is led by the ones who were before him, from the people of Eman.
He is a leader for the ones (to come) after him, from the righteous ones and the pious’’.44

He is neither unjust to the enemies nor does he bear burden (of sins) for the friends. The
people are at rest from him while his self is fatigued from him. The knowledge is his friend,
and the intellect is his pair, and the forbearance is his minister, and the patience is his
commander, and the kindness is his brother, and the gentleness is his father’’. 46

in their faces. They are monks at night, lions at daytime, the ones when the night shades, they
gird their cloth around their waists and wearing their robes upon their sides, and they row
their feet (stand for prayer), and they spread their foreheads (on the ground). Their tears flow
upon their cheeks, seeking shelter to Allah-azwj in liberating their necks (from the Fire).

and they are being humble to Him-azwj in worshipping Him-azwj.

They carry on shutting their eyes from what Allah-azwj has Prohibited unto them, pausing their

afflictions like the one from them who descends into the prosperity. They are satisfied with
Allah-azwj the Exalted with the Decree.

As for then night, they row their feet (in Salat), reciting segments of the Quran reciting it
distinctly. They preach to themselves with its examples, and seek intercession for their
supplication with its supplication at times, and at times they are spreading their foreheads
(on the ground), and themselves, and their knees, and edges of their feet. Their tears flow
upon their cheeks. The glorify the Magnificent Subduer and seek shelter to Him -azwj in
liberating their necks. These are their nights.

And as for their days, they are forbearing, scholars, righteous, pious. Fear of their Creator
makes them righteous, so they are like the arrows. They are reckoned as being sick and having
become insane, and they are not with that. But, they are affected from the Magnificence of
their Lord-azwj and Severity of His-azwj Authority. Their hearts are broken for Him-azwj and their
minds are stunned from Him-azwj.

When they yearn from that, they rush to Allah -azwj the Exalted with the pure deeds. They are
not satisfied to Him-azwj with the little, nor are they deeming the plenty as being a lot. They
are accusing themselves and are fearful from their deeds.

So who is that who would condemn it, and it has proclaimed with its detachment, and called
out with its termination, and obituarised itself and its inhabitants. It tramples with its
calamitous afflictions, and it incites with its happiness to the happiness, scaring and enticing.
It comes early with good health and departs with catastrophe. So (some) men condemn it,
being excessive regretting afterwards, and others praise it earning the good in it.

How many fell ill by your hands and treated by your palms. You sought the healing for them
and appointed the physicians for them. They did not benefit with your intercession in your

been distributed, and as for the wives, they have been married (re-married). This is the news
in our possession, so what is the news in your possession?’

Indeed, and the course (race track) is today and the racing is (for) tomorrow. Indeed, and the
race is to the Paradise, and the peak (of failure) is the Fire. Indeed, and you are in the days of
opportunity from behind it is death urging it hastily. The one who works in the days of his
opportunity before presence of his death, his work will benefit him and his hopes will not

heedlessness, and inherits the regret. Stay away from the world as strongly as you tend to
turn away from a thing, for its companion suffers from it in a covering fatigue, and rush to
establish your religion by establishing the Salat at its (Prescribed) timings, and pay the Zakat
to its rightful ones, and beseech to Allah-azwj and be fearful to Him-azwj.

He has lowered his personality, one whose conviction is weak; and he has degraded himself,

The greed is a butcher of the seriousness; one who inclines to the far matters, the desire will

And rank of the man is his intellect, and his chest is a vault of his secrets; and the verification

And look at the world the looking of the ascetic, the one separating (from it), for it is a
declining abode for the settler, and aggrieves the affluent secure one. It does not return from
it what turns around, so it goes away, and he does not know what is to come from it so he
can be awaiting. The arrival of prosperity from it is with the afflictions, and the remaining
from it is to the annihilation. It’s happiness is tainted with the grief, and the remaining from
it is to the weakness and the insignificance’’.85

The Law of religion is one, and its way is moderate, so the one who takes with it will catch up,

the betrayal when he is entrusted’’.86

Indeed! And from the afflictions is the destitution, and severer than the destitution is sickness
of the body, and severer than sickness of the body is sickness of the heart; and from the

And he-asws said: ‘I-asws am surprised at people fearing the food fearing the harm (health
problems) how they are not fearing the sins fearing the Fire, and I-asws am surprised from the
one buying the slaves with his wealth how he does not buy the free ones with his acts of
kindness so he can own (control) them’.

Then he-asws said: ‘The good and the evil are not recognised except with the people, so
whenever you want to recognise the good, then work the good, you will recognise its people;
and when you want to recognise the evil, then (see) the work of evil, you will recognise its
people’’.95

And he-asws said: ‘But rather I-asws fear two (things) upon you all – the long hopes and following
the personal desires. As for the long hopes, it makes one forget the Hereafter, and as for
following the personal desires, it blocks from the truth’’.96

And a man asked him-asws (Amir Al-Momineen-asws) at Al-Basra about the brotherhood. He-asws
said: ‘The brotherhood is of two types – brotherhood of trust and brotherhood of smiling in
the face.

‫صافَاهُ َو َع ِاد َم ْن‬ ِ ‫ال فَِإ ْن ُكنْت ِمن أ َِخيك علَى ح ِد الثِ َق ِة فَاب ُذ ْل لَه مالَك و ي َد َك و‬ ِِ

ْ َ ْ ُ َّ ‫اْلَ َس َن ْاعلَ ْم أَين َها‬

As for the brotherhood of trust, they are the cave, and the wing, and the family, and the
wealth. If you were to be upon a limit of trust from your brother, then spend your wealth for
him, and your hand (of support), and be clear to the one being clear to him, and be inimical
to the one being inimical to him, and conceal his secrets and his faults, and reveal the good
from him. Know, O questioner, they are fewer than the red ruby!

And as for the brotherhood of smiling in the face, you will attain your pleasure from them, so
do not cut off your pleasure from them, nor seek what is beyond that from their consciences,
and exert for them what they exert for you from the friendliness of the face and the sweetness
of the tongue’’.97

As for the immoral, he adorns his deeds to you and loves you to be like him, and he does not
assist you upon matters of your religion and your Hereafter. Associating with him is
abandonment, and cruelty, and his entrance (visitation) is a shame upon you.

And as for the idiot, he does not consult to you with good nor can you hope him to turn the
evil away from you and even if he were to strive himself; and sometimes he wants to benefit
you, he harms you, therefore his death is better than his life, and his silence is better than his
speaking, and his remoteness is better than his nearness.

others) and transmits (others) discussion to you. Every time he gets a story, he is quick in
bringing another one like it, to the extent that even if he narrates truth, he is not truthful. He
casts the enmity between the people, so he affirms the grudges in the chests, therefore fear
Allah-azwj and look out for yourselves’’.100

As for the obligatory, it is by a Command of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Desire, and by His-azwj
Satisfaction, and by His-azwj Knowledge, and by His-azwj Pre-determination. The servant does it,
so he attains salvation by it, from Allah-azwj.

And as for the meritorious (virtuous), it isn’t by a Command of Allah -azwj, but (it is) by His-azwj
Desire, and by His-azwj Satisfaction, and by His-azwj Knowledge, and by His-azwj Pre-
determination, so he is Rewarded upon it.

himself from the piety with a rein, and reins it from fearfulness of its Lord-azwj with a rein, so
he guides it to the obedience by its reins, and leads it away from the disobedience by its reins.

He raises his glance towards the sky during every time anticipating his death, constantly

He takes a lesson and compares, so he has bad opinion of the world and the people. He learns
for the understanding and the guidance. He dignifies his heart with remembrance of the

regarding what is in the Presence of Allah-azwj, and his fearfulness from it intensifies. He
reveals apart from what he conceals, and suffices with less than what he knows.

Ash’as, and he is the one who participated in (shedding) his-asws blood, may the greetings be
upon him-asws, and his daughter Jo’da-la poisoned Al-Hassan-asws, may the greetings be upon
him-asws, and his son Muhammad participated in (shedding) the blood of Al-Husayn-asws, may
the greetings be upon him-asws’.

So, he is closer to the Satisfaction (of Allah-azwj), remote from the Annoyance. He is satisfied
from Allah-azwj with the less and the lot does not annoy him, nor does he reach with his
intention his target regarding the good, intending a lot from the good deeds and he works
with a section from it, and he sighs upon what he has lost from the good deeds, how come he
did not work with it.

And the hypocrite when he looks at it (world), and when he is silent, he forgets, and when he
speaks it is in vain, and when he is rich he is obstinate, and when an adversity afflicts him he
weakens, so he is near to the Annoyance (of Allah-azwj, remote from the Satisfaction. He is
dissatisfied with Allah-azwj (when with) less, and the lot does not satisfy him. He intends a lot
from the evil, and he works with a section from it, and he sighs upon what he loses from the
evil, how come he did not work it’’.148

He-asws said: ‘You should say you are controlling it with Allah-azwj Who Controls it without you.
If He-azwj were to Give it’s control to you, that would be from His-azwj Grant, and if He-azwj were

And he-asws said: ‘Two (matters) destroy the people – fear of poverty and seeking the pride’’.165

ِ ‫ب الدننْيا فَِإ ََّا رأْس ُك ِل خ ِطيئ ٍة و ِبب ُك ِل بلِيَّ ٍة و قِرا ُن ُك ِل فِتْنَ ٍة و د‬

ُ َ َ‫ َو ق‬-97

And he-asws said: ‘O you people! Beware of loving the world for it is head of every sin, and door
of every affliction, and companion of every Fitna, and caller to every disaster’’.166

ِ ‫ث ِخص ٍال النَّظَ ِر و ال نس ُك‬

‫وت َو الْ َك ََلِم‬ ِ ‫ْجع ا ْْلري ُكلنه ِِ َََِل‬

َ َ ُ ُ َْ َ ُ ‫ال ع‬ َ

And he-asws said: ‘A summary of the good, all of it is in three traits – the looking, and the silence,
and the talking.

ِ ِ ُ‫وت لَيس فِ ِيه فِكْرٌ فَهو ََ ْفلَةٌ و ُك نل َك ََلٍم لَيس فِي ِه ِذ ْكر فَهو لَ ْغو فَط‬
ٍ ِ ِ ِ ‫فَ ُك نل نَظَ ٍر لَي‬
ُ‫وب ل َم ْن َكا َن نَظَُرهُ ع ْ َّبًٌ َو ُس ُكوتُه‬
َ ٌ َُ ٌ َ ْ َ َُ َ َ ْ ‫س فيه ْاعتبَ ٌار فَ ُه َو َس ْه ٌو َو ُك نل ُس ُك‬ َ ْ
ِ.‫فِكْرًٌ و َك ََلمه ِذ ْكراً و ب َكى علَى خ ِطيئتِ ِه و أ َِمن النَّاس ِمن َش ِره‬
ْ ُ َ َ َ َ َ ََ ُُ َ َ

Every look not having a lesson in it, it is an oversight, and every silence not having
contemplation in it, is heedlessness, and every talk not having Zikr in it is vanity, so beatitude
is for one whose looking is taking a lesson, and his silence is contemplation, and his speech is
Zikr, and he cries upon his sins, and the people are safe from his evil’’.167

And he-asws said: ‘How astonishing is this human being. He is happy with achieving what he
would not have grieved at losing what he would not have achieved, and if he had
contemplated he would have insight and know that it is an arrangement, and that the
sustenance is Pre-determined upon him, and would limit upon what is easy and not exposed
to what is difficult’’.168
