generosity, said:

Praise be to God, who invented things with the gentleness of His power and the marvelousness of His craftsmanship. He excelled in what He invented, and created

existing beings with numbers of single substances and plurals, without example. He has no partner in what He created. He united the subtle and the dense with those

who associate Him with oneness, and infer the existence of the Maker by what He created. Those who know Standing under the borders of kindness, in the

Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Whoever among you and the servant

Jabir bin Abdullah, may God be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came out to us while we were in the Medina Mosque, and said: (Indeed,

the places of remembrance on earth, so when you see the gardens of Paradise, be terrified.) They said: What are the God Almighty has a troop of angels roaming around, and standing at

He would have liked to know how he was in the presence of God Almighty, so let him see how God was in love with him, for God has mentioned God Almighty, and who can leave the servant as

He revealed it from himself?) [It was authenticated by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, and it was classed as weak by Al-Dhahabi in Al-Talkhis].

Bin Busr: A man came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said: O Messenger of God, the laws of Islam have become too much for me, so he ordered me to

adhere to something, and he said: (Your tongue will remain moist from the remembrance of God Almighty) [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, 3375 and Ibn Majah, authenticated by Ibn Hibban].

And in the report on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: (There is not a day without all parts of the earth calling out to one another: O

neighbor, is it permissible for you today to mention God Almighty) [Narrated by Ibn Al-Mubarak in Al-Zuhd].

From the gatherings of remembrance, the Lord Almighty said: (O my angels, where have you been? And He is my brothers. When the angels ascend, I know better. They say: O our Lord, You

know best. We were with Your servants praising You, sanctifying You, venerating You, glorifying You, asking You, seeking Your forgiveness, and seeking Your refuge. So He says O my angels,

what did they ask for and from what did they seek refuge?

They say: O our Lord, you know best. They asked for Paradise and sought refuge from Hell. He says: O My angels, bear witness that I have given them what they asked for, and I have

secured them from what they feared, and I have admitted them to Paradise by My mercy. [Muslim 632].

And in the report on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, that God, Blessed and Most High, says: (My servant, remember Me for an hour in the morning and

an hour in the evening, and I will suffice you with what is in between).

And in some recited books, God, Blessed and Most High, says: O son of Adam, what forced you! You ask me, and I prevent you, because I know what is best for you. Then you insist on the

question, and I show you my mercy and generosity, so I give you what you asked of me, and you use what I give you to disobey me. I am so concerned about protecting you, for how many

And in some recited books also: God Almighty says: My servant, how long will you continue to disobey me, while I have nourished you with my provision

and my benevolence, and did I not create you with my own hand? Did I not breathe into you of My Spirit? Did you not know what I should do to the one

who obeyed me, and what I should do to the one who disobeyed me? Aren't you ashamed to remember me in adversity and forget me in prosperity? The

eye of your insight is blinded by passion. Tell me what do you think of me? This is the case of someone who was not affected by the sermon, so how much is this

He said, “O my son, put a rope around my neck, drag me to my sanctuary, and rub my cheeks on the dirt, and say:

This is the punishment for the one who disobeys his master, prefers his lust and whims, and neglects to serve his master. He said: When he did that to him, he raised his

mercy on my submission. My humiliation is in your hands, for there is no power or strength except in you.

He said: Then his spirit left immediately, and suddenly there was a voice calling from the corner of the house. Everyone who was present heard it saying:

The servant humbled himself before his master and apologized to him for what he had done, so he brought him closer to him and made Paradise his abode.

jealousy and trouble, the tongue of the state shouts at you and calls you:

You came seeking contentment and the connection has already arrived You turned away from us and did not obey us

***
You have been forgetting us for a long time In what way do we see you today? Do you mean to us?

Unless you are guided by the seriousness that has come
O covenant breaker, there is no greed in us

O you who sold the rest for perishable things, did the loss not appear to you? How good were the days of reconciliation, and how good were the days of abandonment.

How pleasant were the people’s lives until they abandoned their homelands, and stayed up nights reciting the Qur’an and spent the night prostrating and standing for their sake.

sick body and no strength, a lonely grave and no comfort, a long journey and no food, a delicate path but no passage, a hot fire but no body, a high paradise

Al-Hasan said: I hoped that God would grant him success, so I turned to him and said to him: Why don’t you say hello until he is greeted? He said: The key

is in the hand of the Fatah, and the lock is here, and he pointed to his chest and fainted.

Al-Hasan said: So I said: My God, my master, and my master, if this possessor has done a good deed before you, then hasten it to him before his soul departs

from this world and all hope ceases.

From his trance, he opened his eyes, then came forward and said: O Sheikh, Al-Fattah sent the key. Extend your right hand, I bear witness and wake up

Abu Bakr Al-Saydalani said: I heard Suleiman bin Ammar saying: I saw my father in a dream and I said to him: What has your Lord done to you? He said:

The Lord brought me close and brought me closer, and said to me: O evil old man, do you know why I forgave you? I said: No, oh my God. He said: One

day you sat with the people and made them cry, and one of my servants cried among them, who had never cried out of fear of me, so I forgave him and

bestowed all the people of the gathering on him, and I bestowed your gift among whomever I bestowed on him.

So I approached him. To hear what he was saying, I heard him say the following verses:

***
Blessed is he whose master you are On You, O Majesty, is my trust

complaining of his misfortune to the Majestic Blessed is he who has become fearful and exalted,

***
More than his love for his Lord There is no illness or illness in it

So he kept repeating these verses and crying, and I was crying out of mercy for his crying. While I was doing so, a light appeared to me like flashing lightning,

so I rushed with my hand to my eyes, and I heard, and suddenly there was a herald calling from above his head with a sweet, delicious voice that did not

resemble the words of human beings. He was saying:

***
We have accepted everything you said You are my servant, and you are in exile

My brothers, how long have you been procrastinating your work, coveting to achieve hope, being deceived by the grace period, and not remembering the

branches close together, drooping. The branches were full of leaves, so I said to myself: I will walk towards this tree and be in its shade until God fulfills a decree that was

already in effect.

Its branches were my blessing, so when I reached the tree and approached it and wanted to enter into its shade, I took a branch from the water that was left for me in it to

revive my life with it. I was certain of doom, and I cast myself into the shade of the tree, and I remained waiting for the Angel of Death to take my soul. Then I heard a sad

So I got up and started walking towards the sound, and I saw a good-looking person lying on the sand, and the vultures stared at him, eating his flesh. So I greeted him and

buried my father in the desert? By God, my father was raised to Sidra al-Muntaha, but he walked with me to my grandmother.

So he took my hand and walked with me to his apartment. When he reached the door, he tapped lightly, and the old woman came out to us. When she

saw me, she said, “Welcome to the one who enjoyed looking at my beloved’s face and the apple of my eye.” I told her: Who told you that I saw him?

She said: Who told me that you shrouded him and that the shroud will be returned to you? O Dhul-Nun, by the glory and majesty of my Lord, the cloth of my

son is something that God will show off to the angels in the highest assembly.

Then she said: O Dhul-Nun, describe to me how you left my son, the apple of my eye, and the fruit of my heart? I told her: I left him in the wilderness and the

wasteland, between the sand and the stones, and he received what he hoped for from the Mighty, the Forgiving.

When the old woman heard that, she hugged the boy to her chest, disappeared from me, and was hidden from my view. I do not know:

Did they ascend into the sky, or did they descend into the earth? So I started looking for them in the corners of the house, but I did not find them.

So I heard a phone call saying: O Dhul-Nun, do not bother yourself, for I searched for the possessions, but they did not find them.

So I said: Where have they been? He said to me: The martyrs die by the swords of the polytheists, and these lovers die with longing for the Lord of the

Worlds, so they are carried in a boat of light in a seat of truth with a powerful King.

Dhul-Nun said: So I checked the bag and found the shroud in which I had shrouded him, folded as it was before. May God be pleased with him and benefit

us with their blessings.

crimes and burdens.

my deeds, and returning to God, so I do not know whether my soul will go to Paradise so I can congratulate it, or to Hell so I can console it? Then he cried

Abu Mahfouz Ma’ruf al-Karkhi was designated by God to hide during his youth. He mentions that his brother Jesus said:

"Father" and "Son" My brother Ma’ruf and I were in the office, and we were Christians, and the teacher was teaching the boys. My brother Ma’ruf

would shout: “Ahad Ahad,” and the teacher would hit him severely for that, until one day he hit him hard, and he ran away on his face.

His mother was crying and saying: If God returned a favor to me, I would follow him, whatever religion he was. So, did you extend a favor to her? He said: On

the religion of Islam, and she said: I bear witness that not after many years, and she said to him: O my son, on any religion there is no god but God, and I bear

witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, so my mother converted to Islam and we all converted to Islam.

Ibn al-Fath: I saw Bishr ibn al-Harith in my dream, and he was sitting in a garden with a table in front of him while he was eating, and Ahmed said from it, so I said:

O Abu Nasr, what has God done to you? He said: Have mercy on me and forgive me, and grant me all of Paradise, and He said to me:

Eat all its fruits, drink from its rivers, and enjoy everything in it, just as you would deprive yourself of desires in the world.

Ibn Hanbal? He said: He is standing at the gate of Paradise, interceding for the Sunnis for those who say: I said to him: Where is your brother Ahmed?

The Qur’an is the word of God, uncreated.

So I said to him: What did God do with Al-Karkhi’s kindness? He moved his head and said, “Far, far from!” It prevented us from his fire, but he worshiped him

out of longing for it, so he raised him to the veil. It is well known that he does not worship God out of longing for His Paradise, nor out of fear of the Most High

Companion, and to lift the veil between him and Him.

That is the sacred antidote that has been abandoned, so whoever has a need for God, let him go to his grave and let him pray, for his prayers will be answered,

God Almighty willing. [Seeking blessings from the graves of saints is polytheism, and legitimate supplication is supplication by the names and attributes of God

and the supplication of a righteous man].

the fourth chapter

O brothers of heedlessness, wake up. O you who persist in sins, stop and learn. By God, tell me: Who is in a worse condition than he who is enslaved by his

desires, or who loses a deal from he who sold his afterlife in this world? What is the reason for heedlessness that has entered your hearts? What is the matter with

ignorance that your faults have hidden from you? Do you not see that the arrows of death are shining among you, and its storms are falling upon you, and its

advances are upon you, and its wounds for your excuse are decisive, and its arrows are penetrating in you, and its judgments are taking hold in your forelocks? Even m? And to M?

What is the sign of backwardness and status? Do you hope to live forever? No, the One and the Samad. Death is a matter of waiting, and it does not spare a

parent or a child, so strive, may God have mercy on you, to serve your Lord, and refrain from sins, for perhaps He will take care of you.

It is narrated on the authority of Muhammad bin Qudamah, who said: Bishr bin Al-Harith met a drunk man, so the drunk man began to kiss him and say:

O my master Abu Nasr, no human being can defend himself. When he took office, Bush’s eyes filled with tears and he said: A man loved another man for

the good he imagined in him, and perhaps the lover was saved and the beloved does not know what his condition is.

Is this something? He said:

No, so he stopped at the fruit makers and started looking, so I said: O Abu Nasr, perhaps you desire some, but I looked into this. If

My brothers: What is the matter with the heedless person, how long does he sleep? Do you not wake up nights and days? Where are the inhabitants of palaces and

tents? By God, a cup of doves came upon them, and death caught them just as love catches doves. There is no permanent creature in it. The newspapers are

folded and the pens are dried.

Some of those who know, may God be pleased with him, said: Abu Yazid al-Bistami cried when he died, then laughed, then left this world. He was seen in a

dream after his death, and it was said to him: Why did you cry before death and then laugh? He said: When I was in the canals, he came to me from my

network, and I then cried to God Almighty, and Satan rained down upon me the curse of God upon him, and he said to me: O Abu Yazid, let the heavens

Her machinations are heedless, how many glances she takes in the immediate, and her bitterness, no my brothers, the world is deadly poisons,

and souls are unbearable in the future consequence. O son of Adam, your heart is a weak heart, and your opinion about letting go and

he was bleeding, and the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to him: (What is the matter with you?) He said: A woman passed by me, and I looked at her, and why

did I not see it? You see, the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (If my sight were to slip, my sight would follow her, then a wall would stay ahead of me and hit

me, so God did me good. If He wanted good for a servant, He would hasten his punishment in this world) [Narrated by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak].

Chapter Nine

My brothers, travel is prescribed for us, so why should we ask to reside in a house in which we do not have a residence? Years are phases, months are phases,

days are miles, breaths are steps, transgressions are segments, gain is Paradise, and loss is Hell.

We were created to move on six journeys until we are at peace: the first journey: the journey of clay, the second: from the crucifixion to the womb, the third: from

the womb to the surface of the earth, the fourth: from the surface of the earth to the grave, the fifth: from the grave to the place of display, and the

sixth: From the parade ground to the residence: either to heaven or hell. We have come half the way, and the most difficult remains.

Leave the management to someone else, and you will rest, wail and wail a lot, and forget what happened in the past, O you who raged in distress and shouted,

due to the calamity of deeds. If you returned to Him with your heart, He would hasten the relief of your anxiety and distress.

My brother, beware of the world, for the rope of the world is broken. Be content with sustenance from it, and know that you will die.

Ibn Al-Mubarak said: I came to Mecca and saw that the people had dried up from the rain, and they were getting water in the Sacred Mosque. I was among

the people at the gate of Bani Shaybah, when a black boy with two pieces of sackcloth came, with one of them wrapped around him, and he threw the

other over his shoulders, and he became in a hidden place next to me. So I heard him say: My God, You created faces with a multitude of sins and blemishes,

and You prevented us from raining from the heavens so that creation could be disciplined thereby, so I ask You, O All-Merciful, O You from Whose servants

know nothing but the beautiful, give them water every hour.

Ibn Al-Mubarak said: He kept saying: Give them water hour by hour, until the atmosphere was filled with clouds, and drops of rubble began to fall like the

mouths of a water bottle, and he sat in his place, glorifying God Almighty, and I began to cry, until he got up and I followed him until

O you whose journeys in pursuit of the world have haste, when will the scope of hope be removed from it, and then there will be an interruption?

If you seek the afterlife, you move slowly, when will the benefit come? I wonder how you set out on your journey in search of the mortal, and

there is only one road on his way! Life is a trust that has destroyed its youth in betrayal, its old age in unemployment, and in old age it cries and says: My life

It's lost. When did the traitor succeed in what he bought or sold? You are in the pursuit of this world and have a healthy body, and in the pursuit of the afterlife

you suffer from pain. How much you have strayed from the paths of piety, you who are lame in spirit, you who remain at the bottom. Oh, whose life is night

If he prevents me from connecting, then I will not do it him if I can't be patient with anyone

Then she began to cry and say: My God and Master, how long will you leave me in a house where I cannot find a friend to help me through my affliction?

It is narrated on the authority of one of the servants, may God be pleased with him, that he said: While I was walking on the road, and I was fasting, I saw a

running river, so I immersed myself in it, and I saw a quince on the surface of the water, so I took it to break my fast with it.

He said: When I broke my fast with her, I regretted it, and said: I broke my fast with what was not mine. So when I woke up, I walked and knocked on the door

of the garden from which the river was coming out. An old old man came out to me, and I said to him: Oh Sheikh, a quince came out of this garden of

yours yesterday, so I took it. And I ate it, and I regretted it, so please help me find a solution.

He said to me: I am a worker in this orchard, and I have been in it for forty years and have never tasted any of its fruit, and I have nothing in the orchard. I

said: To whom is it? He said: To two brothers in such and such place.

He said: So I came to the place and found one of them, so I told him the story, and he said: Half of the orchard is mine, and you are my share in that quince. I

said to him: Where can I find your brother? He said: In such-and-such place.

So I went to him and told him the story, and he said to me: By God, I will not grant you permission except under one condition.

I said: What is the condition? He said: I will give you my daughter in marriage and give you one hundred dinars. The worshiper said to him: Woe to you, I am busy with

this. Didn't you see what happened to me because of your quince? So give me a solution. He said to him: By God, I did not do anything except according to the

aforementioned condition.

When the worshiper saw his seriousness, he complied and said, “Do it.” He gave him one hundred dinars, then said to him: Give me as much of it as you want as my

daughter’s dowry. So he threw it all to him, and said to him: No, except some.

He said: So he married his daughter to him, and the people blamed him for that, and they said to him: The lords of the state and the nobles of the people proposed to your

daughter, and you did not give her to them, so how did you give her to a poor person who had no money? He said to them: O people, you only desired piety and religion, and

Chapter Twelve

O you who are blinded by the path of the people, you must correct the light of sight. The dark heart walks through the thorns of doubt and there is no news about it. The

repentant's time is all work: his days are fasting, his nights are staying awake, and the entire time of idleness is heedlessness, and his insight is blinded to sight. Whoever has

tasted the sweetness of asceticism will find it desirable to perform Tahajjud and stay up late, if you catch up with those who are striving at the beginning of the night,

the sleep of heedlessness, for this is the dawn of gray hair that has burst, and the humiliation of backwardness if he stays behind the in the wake of magic. Awaken from

door and does not show up!

The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Let none of you be like a bad servant, if he is afraid he will work, and if he is not afraid then he will not

work, or like a bad employee, if he is not given a plentiful reward he will not work).

God revealed to David, peace be upon him: O David, lovers live in God’s dream, those who remember live in God’s mercy, those who know live in God’s kindness, and

the righteous live in the comfort of God, who feeds them and gives them drink.

Abu Bakr Al-Razi said: Ibn Ata’ said: When Adam ate from the tree, everything expelled him and banished him from himself, distanced him from himself, and distanced

him from his closeness, except for the aloes tree, which gave him shelter. Everything cried over him except gold and silver.

Then God revealed to them: Why do you not cry over a lover who was expelled by his beloved? They said: Our God, and we would not cry over a lover who disobeyed his

beloved. He said: By My Might and Majesty, I will honor you both and make you the value of everything, and I will make the children of Adam servants to you.

And God inspired the lute: And why have you given shelter to the expelled man of his master? He said: It is a mercy on my part for that.

He said: By My Might and Majesty, I will punish you with fire in this world, and you will not benefit from it except after you are burned, because you harbored a disobedient

person in the vicinity of his master, with his sight and knowledge of him. And they chanted:

Hey, how much do you owe Egypt for sins? When will you be repentant? Your body is full of amusement, and your heart of piety is desolate. You

wasted your youth in heedlessness, and when you grow old you cry over the time of youth. In the meeting, you cry over what you missed, and when

you leave, you come back to attack. There is no point in me preaching to you while the door is closed in your face. How much I suffer from absence, O whose

heart is busy, how do you understand the speech. And the joy of Satan touched your heart, and I see your heart absent if you were kicked out of the door! This

is the funeral of the mourner. This council has been blessed. The companions of the repentant went to the companions of the loved ones. Oh,

closeness to his beloved companions, cling to his leg’s heels with humiliation, brokenness, and shed tears, and say, lost in the wilderness of

deprivation, cut off in the labyrinth of misery, drawn under the veil, whenever he wants to get up, sit him down and keep him away. Because of his

see why they have afflicted their bodies, made their livers thirsty, abandoned their sleep, and made remembrance of Him their goal and desire?!

And chanted:

Omar bin Abdul Aziz went out on some of his travels, and when the heat became too intense for him, he called for a turban and covered himself with it. He soon took it off,

It was said to Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God be pleased with him: What is the matter with the Muhtahajjudites, the most beautiful-faced people? He said: Be alone with the Most Merciful,

and He will clothe them with a light of His light.

It was narrated on the authority of Abu Majid, who said: I used to love Sufism, so one day I followed them to a gathering of a scholar, and I saw in the

gathering a person whom souls always longed to look at, and he would cry whenever he heard the scholar and the reader say: God, God, and it did not stop.

He has a tear.

His expressions stopped, and his exhalations stopped, with his young age and his youthful youth, so I asked some Sufis about him. So I was amazed

He said: He is repentant, abundant in tears, prostrates and bows frequently, tender-hearted and compassionate in love.

He said: And “Do not neglect the remembrance of God” [An-Nour 37].

The second: a man who pledged to God Almighty the truth of his response, the fulfillment of servitude, the sincerity of piety, and the performance of fulfillment.

Which God Almighty described by saying:

He is “men who were true to what they promised God” [Al-Ahzab 23]. .

He said: Then the monk said to her: What do you think if he converts to your religion, you will marry him?

She said: Yes.

And the sheikh who is knowledgeable in all of this is compounded by the matter, and Satan makes it beautify it in his eyes, and his companions are asleep, having no knowledge

O son of Adam, the world is a ride. If you ride it, it will carry you, and if you carry it, it will kill you.

O son of Adam: You are flexible in your work, your time has come, and it is presented to your Lord, so take what is in your hands for what is in your hands, and upon death

the news will come to you.

O son of Adam: Do not attach your heart to the world, lest you attach it to evil. It is sufficient for you, O man, as long as you reach the place.

about him,
He was walking in some of the alleys of Basra, when he was accompanied by a slave girl Ibn Dinar, may God be pleased with him, and it is narrated on

the authority of Malik that the king’s concubines were riding with them, servants and Mamluks. Then the owner heard her whispering behind him, so he turned to her while she

was riding, and he saw her beauty, her appearance, and her condition, so he called: O slave girl, will your master sell you?

He said: When she heard that word from him, she looked at him and saw a worn-out cloak, and he had a beautiful appearance, humility, and the serenity of God Almighty.

She said to the servants: Hold my horse, so they held her, and she returned her head to him, and said to him: O Sheikh, repeat your essay to me.

He said: I said, will your master sell to you? She said: Woe to you, does someone like you have anything to buy me for if he sells me?!

He said: Then the Mamluks surrounded him, and he said: Leave me alone, so I will walk with you. So he walked with them until she reached her palace, and the guards of the

house stood up to her and brought her down, so she entered, and Malik remained at the palace door until she reached her master, and she said: Oh, my lord, shall I not tell

you a wonder?!

He said: What is it, Hasna?

She said: O my lord, I met a poor old man wearing a shabby, worn-out cloak. He looked at my beauty, my beauty, my beauty, my perfection, and my Mamluks, and he was

impressed by what he saw of my appearance. He said: Will your lord sell you? Her lord laughed at that, and said to her:

Where is your woe?! She said: I brought him to you with me, and here he is at the palace door. He said: Bring him in.

Then Malik entered, and the man did not recognize him. When he stood at the door of his sitting room, it was a house filled with various types of footstools

and chairs, and he saw the owner of the palace sitting on a great mattress, so Malik began to look at him. He said: What's wrong with you?

Come in, Sheikh.

Malik said: I will not enter until you remove this foot and remove its temptation from me, so that I will not look at it or step on any of it.

So God placed fear and obedience in the heart of the owner of the palace, so he ordered the table to be raised and spread out, until the marble was revealed, and

the owner of the palace sat on a chair and said: Sit, Sheikh, as you like.

He said: No, by God, until you step down from this chair and sit on this alabaster. He said: The man sat down, and Malik sat down

With him.

The master of the house said: Say what you need, Sheikh.

He said: This maid of yours who has entered the hour, will you sell her to me?

The owner of the palace said to him: Do you have anything to buy her from me?

He said: What is its price?

Her status, value, condition, and money are worth such-and-such a thousand. He said to him: Who?

Malik said: By God, two rotten seeds are not worth anything to me. The man laughed, the girl laughed, and the female slaves and servants laughed from behind

the curtain at Malik’s words.

Malik said: What made you laugh?

The owner of the house said: How was its price so low to you?

Malik said: Because of her many defects.

I will inform you of its defects. He said: And who?

He said: I know some of her faults that you do not know.

He said: What you described, what is its price, may God have mercy on you?

He said: What is easy is to free yourself for an hour from your night, so you stand up and pray two rak’ahs sincerely for your Lord, and to place your food in your hands, so that you

remember your hunger and give it preference over your desire, and to step on the road and pick up a stone and a stone from it, and to move. Your tongue with kind words, or with the

Abu Sulaiman al-Darani, may God have mercy on him, said: I was carrying firewood from the mountains and using it for strength, and my path

was piety and investigation, when I saw a group of the righteous people of Basra in my sleep, including Al-Hasan and Malik bin Dinar, and Al-

Sabkhi fell asleep.

So I said to them: You are the imams of the Muslims, so guide me to what is permissible, in which there is no consequence, and in which there is no blessing for creation. So they

took me by the hand and took me out of Tarsus to a meadow in which there was a baker, and they said to me: This is what is permissible, in which there is no consequence to

God, and in which there is no favor for creation.

He said: I used to eat some of it raw and eat some of it cooked, but God Almighty created me with a good heart. I said: If the people of Paradise have

the heart that I have, then, by God, they will be able to live.

So one day I went out to the door of the country, and there was a boy who wanted the country, and I had some flocks of firewood that I had sold

before that, so I said: I do not need these, I will give them to this poor man and he will spend them.

O community of the poor, these are your hearings, so where is the one who is present with me? O lords of circumstances, I speak with you, and to you I line up, and to your knees

I walk. O community of repentants, is it not easy for you to commit sin in order to obtain this luxurious essence? If you miss this hearing and do not rejoice, then you are in my

righteousness. I am confused about the deprivation.

Abu Bakr Al-Warraq, may God be pleased with him, said: The reality of love is seeing the beloved in all circumstances, for preoccupation with other things is a veil, and its origin is

submission and certainty, for they reach the levels of the righteous in the Gardens of Bliss.

He said: O Dhul-Nun, asceticism in a created being for the sake of another created being is loss, but asceticism in the created world is only valid for the sake of

seeking the Lord, the Creator.

O Dhu Al-Nun, the aspiration of a servant has diminished when you are satisfied with an ancient beloved with a created paradise. The meaning of asceticism

is to avoid the Gentiles, follow the good ones, and witness the effects of the presence of the mighty King. Whoever seeks the Gentiles, his desire will be witnessed,

and whoever seeks the mighty, his desire is beloved. If a creature is satisfied with a creature like him, then the problem is intended.

O my brother, Dhul-Nun: The world is all the world and the foolish are all the fooled who abandon the pleasure of pride and desire, and hate the goodness of the

world, then are satisfied without the Lord, and work hard for themselves and abandon their world, out of fear that Hell will be their abode, or desire that Heaven will

How come when life is spent in heedlessness and seeking reasons? If the old man warns you about the journey, and you do not provide food, what is the

answer?

“And if you had seen, when they were terrified, they would not have escaped, and they would have been taken from the place. I wish I had seen the people of sin, how their

lives would be good soon” [Saba 51].

It is narrated that Muhammad bin Wasi’ saw his young men in the mosque, who had waded into the sea of backbiting and misguidance, and he said to them: Is it beautiful,

by God, that you disagree with a beloved, so he disagrees with him so that someone else can win him? They said: No. He said: You are sitting in one of your houses to have

his own affairs, and you are backbiting people. They said: We have repented. He said: My children, He is your Lord and your Beloved, and if you disobey Him, He obeys Him

disagrees with him, and perhaps Someone else, you lost him. And someone else won it, won't that hurt you? They said: Yes. He said: And whoever

he will be punished if he punishes him, will you not change how your youth are punished with fire and torment and others win Paradise and reward? They said:

Yes, and it is good for them to return to God Almighty.

Guardian of God, while he is leaning on the river of honey and she is giving him the cup, while they are in joy and bliss:

When did God, my Lord, marry you? He says: I don't know. So you say: God looked at you on a distant summer day. Do you know, O beloved, between

the two extremes while you were in the thirst of the hot days? Then the angels bragged about you and said: Look, O my angels, at my servant. He left

his lust and his pleasure, his wife, his food and his drink, in desire for what is with me. I bear witness that I have forgiven him, so he forgave. That day, we

will marry you.

God has trained people to be gentle with Him, so they draw near to Him with a healthy heart. He makes them taste the sweetness of His supplications. Each one of

them wanders with His love. He makes their hearts soothed by His love. May He inspire them with longings with a healthy night. Purify them of passion. The love of this

world departs from it, and the love of the afterlife abides in all circumstances. They know something else, so welcome to it and welcome to bliss.

ransomed the paths of darkness, I sacrificed the masters of resolve, I sacrificed the boys.

Be hasty, monks of solitude. We are your neighbours. We have left our means, our families, and our homelands. We have separated the desires of souls and

bodies, and we have destroyed places of amusement, so they have been desolate for a long time. We have divorced the world completely, and abandoned our

homes and inhabitants. We have been given to drink of greatness and humiliation, of the drink of mankind, even if it were as it were. They put on the garb of

hunger during the day, and abandon the service of filling their hearts with piety and remembrance of the tongue. They have a crowd at the gate of darkness.

Some of them shouted, some of them were ecstatic, some of them were overwhelmed with longing, so they are from love and distraction, and some of them are

overwhelmed by emotion, so they are wandering drunk. Fear has consumed them and insomnia has shriveled them, and they are lost. From worrying about

something every day. Their conduct is the remembrance of the Beloved, and they have melodies in the recitation. They attained the status of trust and became in it

a satan. They sold the desires of souls for the lowest prices. They recorded for themselves a record of contentment with the decree. Welcome, brave men. Their

insanity avoids their beds and they have melodies of the Qur’an. They were overcome by fear and became intoxicated by its drink. Fearing the flames,

and their sorrows increased, and some of them were mixed, and how many children were orphaned in him. You will never see them drunk and naked in

wastelands and in countries. Their hearts are filled with fear, from the pain of consolation, but it was not. They were rags and their backs were filled with

sorrows. The tongue of their longing called out: No, the veil of customs was and crowns were tied on their heads for the state. The sitting of their souls was filled with intense witne

Ibn Abbas narrated on the authority of Ka'b Al-Ahbar, may God be pleased with them both, that he said: There was a friend among the children of Israel who was alone

in worship, and he resided in his hermitage for a long time, and an angel would come to him every morning and evening, and the king would say to him: Do you have a need?

He says: God knows my need.

God made a vine grow for him above the hermitage, which was filled with grapes every day. When he was thirsty, he would stretch out his hand and water would spring

from it and he would drink from it.

Hassan and Jamal, at sunset, so she called him: O Abdullah. He said to her: Here you are. After a while, a woman passed by him who belongs to the One

God, the All-Powerful, the Ever-Living, the One Who knows what is in the breasts and who’s motives, and she said to him: Do you see your Lord? He told her: He is in the

graves. She said to him: The country is far from me. He said to her: Go up.

When she was in his cell, she threw away her clothes and stood naked, exposing herself to him, but he averted his gaze from her. And he said to her:

Woe to you, cover yourself. She said to him: What harm would you do if you had fun with me tonight?

He said to himself: Oh soul, what do you say? She said: By God, I enjoy it.

He said to her: Woe to you: Do you want the tar garments to be cut and to stop worshiping me for this period of time? Not everyone who commits adultery will be pardoned,

and the adulterer will be thrown on his face into the fire, and it is a fire that cannot be quenched, and his punishment will never end. I fear that God will become angry

with you and not be satisfied. Never about you.

Then he decided to do so, and he said: I offer you a small fire, and if you are patient with it, you will enjoy this maid.

Tonight.

He said: So he filled the lamp with oil and thickened the wick, and the woman heard and saw. Then he threw his hand to the wick while it was burning, and he shouted to

the wick: What is the matter with you? It burned me, and it ate his finger, then it ate his fingers, then it ate his hand. Then the girl shouted loudly and left the world, and her

clothes covered her.

When the morning came, Satan, may God curse him, shouted: O people, this worshiper committed adultery with so-and-so, the daughter of so-and-so, and killed her.

So the king rode with his army and the people of his kingdom, and when he reached the hermitage, he shouted, and the worshiper answered him and said to him: Where is so-and-so,

daughter of so-and-so? He said to him: I have it here. He said to him: Tell her to leave. He said to him: She has died.

The king said to him: You did not accept adultery until you killed the soul that God had forbidden? So he demolished the hermitage, put a chain around the slave’s neck, blew it off, the woman

became pregnant, and brought the slave wrapped in his sleeve, while he did not tell them his story.

So the saw was placed on his head, and those who were tormented were told: Run, run.

When the saw reached his brain, he groaned, so God Almighty revealed to Gabriel, peace be upon him: Tell him: Do not utter anything, and here I am looking at you, and the bearers of

my throne and the inhabitants of my heavens have wept. By My glory and majesty, if he groans the second time, the heavens will collapse upon me. On the ground, he did not

groan or speak until he died, may God have mercy on him.

When he died, God returned the spirit to the woman, and she said: He died wronged by God. He did not commit adultery, and I am only a virgin by my seal.

Then I told them the story, so they took out his hand, and it was burned, as the maid said. They said: If we had known what we had spread, the worshiper would have fallen in

two on the ground, and the girl would have returned as she was, so they dug a single grave for them, and they found musk, amber, and camphor in the grave. Then they brought

Heaven: Be patient from them to pray over them, and a herald called them so that the angels could pray over them, then the people prayed over them and buried them, so God

caused jasmine to grow on their graves, and they found on their graves a parchment written on it:

strike the person who did this in the face with this act. I am not going to let the act of the one who backbites people pass me by to another.

The owner of the backbiting, my Lord commanded me

Then the guardians bring a good deed from the servant, and she purifies it and multiplies it, until it reaches the second heaven. Then the angel says to them, not the one entrusted with it: Stand up and strike the face

of its

He said: And the memorizers ascend with the servant’s work, rejoicing in its light from charity and fasting. The memorizers were impressed, and they passed by it to the third heaven, and the angel entrusted with it

said to them: Stand up and strike the face of its doer with this deed. I am the king of arrogance. My Lord has commanded me not to let his work pass me until Other than me, he was arrogant towards people.

He said: And the memorizers ascend with the work of the servant, and it blossoms like a pearly star blossoms, and it has resounding sounds of prayer, glorification, Hajj, and Umrah, until they pass with it to the

fourth heaven, and the angel entrusted with it says to them, “Stand up and strike with this work.” He directed that I would not let his work pass beyond me to anyone else. Indeed, he was its owner. Outwardly and

inwardly, I am the owner of wonder. My Lord has commanded me, when he does a deed, to bring wonder into it.

He said: The memorizers are ascended by the servant’s work, such as prayer, fasting, charity, zakat, Hajj and Umrah, until they pass through it to the fifth heaven as if he were a married bride. Then the angel
