Hadith 197

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – My father and Ibn Al Waleed, both together from Sa’ad and Al Himeyri, both together from Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The closest of what the servants can be to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and as Pleased as He-azwj can be with them, is when they lose the Divine Authority of Allah-azwj, so he-ajfj no longer appears to them and they don’t know of his-ajfj place, and during that they would be knowing that it does not invalidate the Divine Authority of Allah-azwj. During it, they would be anticipating the relief every morning and evening. The severest of what the Wrath of Allah-azwj can be upon His-azwj enemies is when they lose His-azwj Divine Authority, so he-ajfj no longer appears to them, and He-azwj Knows that His-azwj friends are not suspicious, and had He-azwj Known that His-azwj friends are suspicious, He-azwj would not have Caused His-azwj Divine Authority to disappear even for the blink of an eye, and that cannot happen except upon the head of the evil people’’.
