Hadith 161

seekers aim for, so they find Him-azwj as a rightful Guide, and the fearing ones come to, so they find Him-azwj as a shelter, and the worshippers’ shelter to Him-azwj and they find Him-azwj as a Giver. When will he rest his body, one who links to other than You-azwj? And when will he be happy, one who aims for besides You-azwj with his intention? My God-azwj! The darkness is dispersing, and I have yet to fulfil the goal of serving You-azwj, nor have I issued from the fountains of whispering to You-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Deal with me the foremost of the Commands with You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones! ’
I feared that his person may be lost to me and that his traces would be hidden unto me. I met with him and said, ‘By the One-azwj Who had Dropped of the destructive fatigue from you and Granted you the intensive desired of the pleasure of Awe, if only you could cover me with a wing of mercy and delicate care, for I am lost, and I have sought all what you have done, and my wish is all what you have spoken. He said, ‘Had your relying (upon Allah-azwj) been sincere, you would not have been lost, but follow me-asws and be in my-asws tracks’. When he came to be beneath the tree, he held my hand, and it was imagined for me that the earth had extended from under my feet. When the pillars of the morning erupted, he said to me, ‘Receive good news for this is Makkah’. I heard the noise and saw the pilgrims. I said, ‘By the One-azwj Who you are hopeful to on the Day of bliss and the Day of destitution! Who are you? ’
He said, ‘When I-asws have been sworn for, so I-asws am Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws all’’. [187]
