Hadith 6

from You-azwj’. Allah-azwj the Exalted Says: “You speak the truth, My-azwj servant. You were in the world with your body while your soul was with Me-azwj, so you were in My-azwj Eyes, your secrets and your announcements. Ask, I-azwj shall Give you, and wish to Me-azwj, I-azwj shall Honour you. This here is My-azwj Paradise. You have succeeded regarding it, and this is My-azwj Neighbourhood, so dwell in it! ”
The soul says, ‘My God-azwj! Introduce Yourself to me, so I can be needless by it from entirety of Your-azwj creatures! By You-azwj Might and Your-azwj Majesty! If Your-azwj Satisfaction were to be in my being cut into pieces and pieces, and to be killed seventy times with the severest of killings the people can be killed with, Your-azwj Satisfaction would be more beloved to me. My God-azwj! How can I be fascinated with myself? And I am disgraced if You-azwj don’t Honour me, and I am overcome if You-azwj don’t Help me, and I am weak if You-azwj don’t Strengthen me, and I am dead if You-azwj don’t Revive me with Your-azwj Zikr, and had it not been for Your‑azwj veil, I would have been exposed the first time I had disobeyed You-azwj! My God-azwj! How can I not seek Your-azwj Satisfaction and You-azwj have Perfected my intellect until I recognised You-azwj, and I recognised the truth from the falsehood, and the Commands from the Prohibitions, and the knowledge from the ignorance, and the light from the darkness? ’
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: “By My-azwj Mighty and My-azwj Majestic! I-azwj will not Veil between Me-azwj and you, during any time from the timings. Like that I-azwj Deal with My‑azwj Loves ones! O Ahmad-saww! Do you know which life is most welcoming, and which life is more lasting? ”
He-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj, no! ’
He-azwj Said: ‘As for the welcoming life, it is which its owner is not lazy from doing My-azwj Zikr, nor does he forget My-azwj bounties, nor does he ignore My-azwj right. He seeks My-azwj Satisfaction during his night and his day. And as for the lasting life, it is which he works for himself until the world becomes insignificant to him and is belittle in his eyes, and the Hereafter is magnified in his view, and he prefers My-azwj Desires over his own desires, and he seeks My-azwj Satisfaction and magnifies the right of My-azwj Magnificence, and he remembers My-azwj Knowledge of him, and he watches out for Me-azwj at night and day at every evil deed or (act of) disobedience, and he purifies his heart from all what I-azwj Dislike, and he hates the Satan-la and his-la insinuations, and he does not make any authority and a way to be for Iblees-la upon his heart. When he does that, I-azwj Settle Love in his heart until I-azwj Make his heart to be for Me-azwj, and his free times, and his pre-occupations, and his worries, and his discussions, from the bounties which I-azwj have Favoured with upon people from My-azwj creatures who love Me‑azwj, and I-azwj Open the eyes of his heart and his ears until he hears with his heart and looks by his heart at My-azwj Permissible(s), and My-azwj Magnificence.
