Hadith 7

on the ones absent from it, then it would be for the one present that he retracts nor for the absentee than he chooses (someone else). Indeed! And I-asws shall fight against two (types of) men – a man claiming what Isn’t for him and another who prevents the ones who is (rightful) upon it. I-asws advise you with having fear of Allah-azwj, for it is the best of what the servants can be advised with, and the matter of the best end-result in the Presence of Allah-azwj, and the door of war has been opened up between you and the people of the Qiblah (Muslims). And no one will bear this knowledge except the people of insight, and the patience, and the knowledge in places of truth, therefore continue to what you have been Commanded with and pause at what you have been Prohibited from, and do not be hasty in any matter until it is clear, because for us-asws, along with every matter you are denying, is (right to) change. Indeed! And this word which you have come to be wishing for it and being desirous in it, and your hatred and your pleasure has become for it, it isn’t your (permanent) house, nor is it your home which you have been Created for nor that which you have been invited to. Indeed! And it isn’t going to be lasting for you nor will you be lasting for it, and it, and although you are being deceived from it, so its evil has cautioned you from it, so leave its deceit for its caution, and (leave) its greed for its fear, and be first in it to the house which you are being invited to, and turn away from it (world) with your hearts, and not one of you should squeal (scream) the squealing of the maid upon what has been impeded from her, and complete the Favours of Allah-azwj upon you with the patience upon obedience of Allah-azwj, and the preserving upon what you can preserve from His-azwj Book. Indeed! And surely it will not harm you, the loss of anything from your world after your preserving the principles of your religion. Indeed! And surely nothing will benefit you after your wasting your religion, your preserving upon it from the matters of your world. May Allah-azwj Take our hearts and your hearts to the truth and Inspire us and you the patience’’. [134]

The flags of guidance had been obscured and the flags of ruination had appeared. It was grim to its people, frowning in the faces of its seekers. Its fruit was the Fitna and its food was the carcass, and its motto was the fear, and its garment was the sword. Take lessons, O servants of Allah-azwj, and recall the straying which your fathers and your brothers were pledged with and would be Reckoned upon it. And by my-asws life! Neither have the eras (time intervals) preceded with you nor with them, nor have the aeons (ages) and the centuries passed in what is between you and them, nor are you today remote from the day you were in their loins. By Allah-azwj! The Rasool-saww did not make you listen to anything except and here I-asws am, making you listen to it (again), and I-asws am not making you listen today to anything other than what I-asws had made you listen to yesterday.
