Hadith 147

remote, and its heat is intense, and its punishment is renewed, being a house there isn’t any mercy in it, nor will any supplication be heard in it, nor will any worry be relieved in it. And if you can intensify your fear from Allah-azwj and make your thoughts to be good with Him-azwj, then gather between the two, for the servant rather happens to be of good thoughts with his Lord-azwj in accordance to his fear from His-azwj Lord-azwj, and the best of the people in thoughts with Allah-azwj is their most intense in fearing Allah-azwj. And know, O Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr! I-asws have placed you in charge of a mighty army of mine-asws as far as I-asws am concerned, the people of Egypt, so you are duty bound to oppose against yourself and you benefit from your religion, and if there does not happen to be for you except an hour from the time, then do not incur the Wrath of Allah-azwj by pleasing anyone from His-azwj creatures, for in Allah-azwj there is a replaced from others, and there isn’t any replacement from Allah-azwj in others. Pray the Salat to its Prescribed timings and do not be hasty in its timing to be free, nor delay it from its time to be pre-occupied. And know that everything from your deeds follows to your Salat and from it. Surely, they are not the same, the Imam-asws of guidance and the imam of ruination, and a friend of the Prophet-saww and an enemy of the Prophet-saww; and Rasool-Allah-saww had said to me: ‘I-saww neither fear upon my-saww community of any Momin nor any Polytheist. As for the Momin, Allah-azwj would Prevent him, due to his Eman, and as for the Polytheist, Allah-azwj would Suppress him due to his Shirk. But, I-saww fear upon you all every hypocrite at heart, learned of the tongue, saying what you recognise and doing what you dislike’’. [73]

Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on him and Send Salawaat upon him. He had said to Amir Al-Momineen-asws one day, ‘Spread out your-asws hand, I shall pledge allegiance to you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘And you will do it? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. He-asws spread out his-asws hand. He said, ‘I testify that you-asws are an Imam-asws, obeying you-asws is an obligation, and that my father is in the Fire’. Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The salvation was from the direction of his mother Asma Bint Umeys, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon her, not from the direction of his father’’. [74]
