Bienveillance

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan ibn Yahya from Yahya al-Azraq from Hammad ibn Bashir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, is compassionate and He loves friendliness. Of the examples of His compassion to His worshippers is His reducing and easing off of their feeling grudge, resentment and hatred that confronts their wish and their heart. It is of the examples of His compassion toward them that He calls upon them to obey one of His commands to remove a certain evil (practice) from them for compassionate reasons so that the ring and the weight of belief do not fall upon them at once to make them weak. When He wants to make such a decision (of easing up on them) He cancels one command by another command and it becomes abrogated.”

"Certes, Allah, exalté soit-Il, est compatissant et Il aime la compassion. Parmi Sa compassion envers Ses serviteurs, Il facilite pour eux l'accomplissement des actes d'adoration, Il s'oppose à leurs passions, à leurs désirs, et à leurs cœurs. Et par Sa compassion envers eux, Il les laisse dans une affaire qu'Il veut les enlever doucement, afin qu'ils ne soient pas submergés par les charges de la foi en une seule fois et qu'ils ne s'affaiblissent pas. Quand Il veut cela, Il remplace un ordre par un autre, et cela devient abrogé."

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from Mu’awiyah ibn Wahab from Mu’adh ibn Muslim from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Friendliness is a blessing and detachment is evil.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit : "La douceur est une bénédiction, tandis que la rudesse est une malédiction."

5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Mahbub from ‘Amr ibn Shamir from Jabir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is compassionate. He loves kindheartedness and awards for it with such things that He does not give due to rudeness.”

Certes, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, est Compatissant, Il aime la douceur et accorde à la douceur ce qu'Il n'accorde pas à la violence.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhayna from Zurara from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘There is nothing in which friendliness is placed but that such thing is beautified. There is nothing from which friendliness is removed but that such thing is shunned.”’

Le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu et Sa paix soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit : "La douceur n'a jamais été placée dans quelque chose sans l'embellir, et elle n'a jamais été retirée de quelque chose sans le rendre laid."

7. Ali has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from ‘Amr ibn abu al-Miqdam in a marfu’ manner from the Holy prophet who has said the following: “In friendliness, certainly, there are increased blessings. One dispossessed of (faculty) friendliness is deprived of goodness.”

La douceur apporte l'augmentation et la bénédiction. Celui qui est privé de douceur est privé de bien.

8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Abd Allah ibn al- Mughirah from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “If kindheartedness goes away from a family, goodness departs them also.”

La douceur n'a pas été retirée de la famille de la Maison sans que la bonté ne soit retirée d'eux.

9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn ‘Abd Allah from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi from Ali ibn Mu’alla from Isma’il ibn Yasar from Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Arqam al-Kufi from a man from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Any family who has received their share of kindheartedness, Allah has certainly increased their livelihood. Friendliness in matters of earning a living is better than great wealth. Friendliness does not cause any weakness but a spendthrift habit leaves nothing in place. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is compassionate and He loves friendliness.”

Quiconque parmi les gens de la Maison reçoit sa part de douceur, Allah lui accorde l'abondance dans la subsistance. La douceur dans la répartition des moyens de subsistance est meilleure que l'abondance de richesse. La douceur n'est jamais présente sans qu'elle ne soit bénéfique, et la prodigalité ne laisse rien derrière elle. Certes, Allah est Compatissant et Il aime la douceur.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated in a marfu’ manner from Salih ibn ‘Aqaba from Hisham ibn Ahmar from abu al-Hassan (a.s.) who has said the following: “The narrator has said, ‘A conversation took place between a man of the group and me and the Imam said to me, ‘Be friendly with them or else one of them may reject in anger and there is nothing good in rejection that may come from anger.”’

قَالَ قَالَ لِي وَجَرَى بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ كَلامٌ فَقَالَ لِي ارْفُقْ بِهِمْ فَإِنَّ كُفْرَ أَحَدِهِمْ فِي غَضَبِهِ وَلا خَيْرَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ كُفْرُهُ فِي غَضَبِهِ.

11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Hassan from Musa ibn Bakr from abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) who has said the following: “Friendliness is half of livelihood.”

Le Prophète Musa (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit: "La bienveillance est la moitié de la vie."

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Allah, certainly, loves kindheartedness and He supports one to achieve it. If you ride a weak animal allow it to rest whenever needed. If it is a barren land pass it quickly, and if it is a fertile land, allow them to rest as they need.’”

"Certes, Allah aime la douceur et aide à sa réalisation. Lorsque vous montez des animaux boiteux, descendez-les à leurs endroits de repos. Si le sol est aride, éloignez-vous-en, et s'il est fertile, laissez-les paître à leur aise."

13. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ‘Amr ibn Shamir from Jabir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘If kindheartedness were to be seen like a creature, nothing of the creatures of Allah could have been as good as kindheartedness.

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit: "Si la bienveillance était une créature visible parmi les créatures d'Allah, rien de ce qu'Il a créé ne serait meilleur que cela."

14. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from ibn Faddal from Tha’labi from ibn Maymun from those who narrated to him from one of them (one of the two Imams) (a.s.) who has said the following: “Allah is compassionate and He loves kindheartedness. Of the examples of His compassion is His reducing and easing off of your feeling of grudge and hatred that confronts your wish and your heart. When He decides to change a worshipper’s habits He issues a command and then changes it with an abrogating command so that the truth does not fall very heavy on him.”

Certes, Allah est Compatissant et Il aime la compassion. Parmi Sa compassion envers vous, il y a le soulagement de vos difficultés, la réconciliation de vos cœurs. Il ne veut pas détourner Son serviteur d'un commandement, alors Il le laisse jusqu'à ce qu'il le détourne par la répulsion, pour que la vérité ne lui semble plus lourde.

15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Whenever two things accompany each other the recipient of greater reward and the most beloved of the two before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is the kindhearted one to its companion.’”

`Le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit: "Celui qui prend en compagnie un autre, le plus méritant en récompense et le plus aimé de Dieu, Le Très-Haut, est celui qui se montre le plus doux envers son compagnon."`

16. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn Hassan from al-Hassan ibn al-Husayn from Fudayl ibn ‘Uthman who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) say, ‘Whoever is friendly in his affairs achieves what he wants from people.’”

Celui qui est bienveillant dans ses affaires obtient ce qu'il veut des gens.
