Rapidité du châtiment pour les péchés

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Isma’il ibn Ibrahim from Hakam ibn ‘Utaybah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘When the sins of a servant (of Allah) increase and he does not have enough good deeds to expiate them, Allah causes him to suffer sadness and depression.’”

قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا يُكَفِّرُهَا ابْتَلاهُ بِالْحُزْنِ لِيُكَفِّرَهَا.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari from ibn al-Qaddah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘I swear by My Majesty and Glory, I will not take out of this world a servant whom I want to receive mercy until I will compensate from him for all the sins that he has committed. (I will do so) by causing illness in his body, constraint in the means of his living or fear for his worldly affairs. If anything is left to offset this I will cause his death to be a severe suffering.’ “I swear by My Majesty and Glory that I will not take out of this world a servant whom I want to be punished until I will fully compensate him for his good deeds in this world. This I will do either by expanding the means of his living, granting him good health in his body or by grating him peace in this world and if anything will be left without compensation I will cause his death to take place with ease.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) a dit : "Par Ma grandeur et Mon majesté, Je ne retire pas un serviteur de ce monde alors que Je veux lui accorder Ma miséricorde jusqu'à ce que J'efface de lui chaque péché qu'il a commis, que ce soit par une maladie dans son corps, ou par une difficulté dans sa subsistance, ou par une peur dans sa vie. Si une trace de péché reste sur lui, Je la renforce au moment de sa mort. Par Ma grandeur et Mon majesté, Je ne retire pas un serviteur de ce monde alors que Je veux le châtier jusqu'à ce que Je lui donne chaque bonne action qu'il a accomplie, que ce soit par l'abondance dans sa subsistance, ou par la santé dans son corps, ou par la sécurité dans sa vie. Si une trace de bien reste sur lui, Je la facilite au moment de sa mort."

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘A believer may suffer a nightmare so his sins are forgiven or is bodily humiliated so his sins are forgiven.’”

Certes, le croyant est visité pendant son sommeil, et ses péchés lui sont pardonnés. Il est également éprouvé dans son corps, et ses péchés lui sont pardonnés.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Sariy ibn Khalid from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, wants good for a servant He hastens his punishment in this world. When He wants evil for a servant He preserves his sins for him to find their consequences on the Day of Judgment.”

Lorsqu'Allah Le Très Haut veut du bien à Son serviteur, Il hâte son châtiment dans ce monde, et lorsqu'Il veut du mal à Son serviteur, Il retient ses péchés jusqu'à ce qu'il en rende compte au Jour de la Résurrection.

6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Misma’ ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘Whatever hardship befalls you is the result of your own deeds. Allah pardons many of your sins,’ (42:30) has said, ‘The spraining of one’s muscles, bumping over a stone, the slip of foot or being bruised by a piece of wood is all because of sins and what Allah forgives is much more. In the matters of whoever faces quick suffering for sins in this world, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is by far more Honorable and Great and will not allow a repeat of his suffering in the next life.”’

L'Imam Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Dans le verset 'Et tout malheur qui vous atteint est dû à ce que vos mains ont acquis, tandis qu'Il pardonne beaucoup', il n'y a pas de torsion de veine, ni de coup de pierre, ni de trébuchement de pied, ni de coup de bâton, sans qu'il y ait un péché. Et lorsque Dieu pardonne la plupart, si Dieu précipite le châtiment d'un péché dans ce monde, alors Dieu est plus généreux, plus noble et plus grand que de le reporter au châtiment dans l'au-delà."

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-‘Abbas ibn Musa al-Warraq from Ali al-Ahmasi from a man from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Anxiety and sadness continue to trouble a believer until no sin is left in him.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit : "L'anxiété et le chagrin ne cessent d'atteindre le croyant jusqu'à ce qu'il abandonne son péché."

8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Harith ibn Bahram from ‘Amr ibn Jumay’ who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘A believer continues facing anxiety and sadness in this world until he leaves it with no sins in him.’”

Certes, le croyant attentif aux affaires de ce monde jusqu'à en sortir n'aura aucun péché sur lui.

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ali al- Ahmasi from a man from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘A believer continues facing anxiety and sadness until no sin is left in him.’”

Le souci et la tristesse ne cesseront d'affecter le croyant tant qu'il n'aura pas été absous de tout péché.

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Mu’awiyah ibn Wahab from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, “Any servant whom I want to admit in paradise I cause bodily suffering to expiate for his sins, if this would not be enough I then cause dying to become a severe suffering until he comes before Me without any sins, then I admit him in paradise. “Any servant whom I want to go in fire, I grant him health in his body. If this completes compensation to him I then call him to My presence, otherwise, I grant him security from the rulers. If this completes compensation to him I then call him in My presence, otherwise, I expand the means for his living. If this completes compensation to him I then call him in My presence, otherwise, I make dying easy for him so he comes in My presence without any good deeds before Me, then I send him in fire.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, n'a pas l'intention d'entrer un serviteur au Paradis sans l'éprouver dans son corps. Si cela est une expiation pour ses péchés, alors Je le soulage, sinon Je le renforce lors de sa mort jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne à Moi sans aucun péché, puis Je le fais entrer au Paradis. Et Allah n'a pas l'intention d'envoyer un serviteur en Enfer sans que Je ne rétablisse sa santé. Si cela est une complétude de sa recherche de Moi, alors Je le soulage, sinon Je le fais croire en sa crainte de Mon autorité. Si cela est une complétude de sa recherche de Moi, alors Je le soulage, sinon Je lui accorde une abondance dans sa subsistance. Si cela est une complétude de sa recherche de Moi, alors Je le soulage, sinon Je facilite sa mort jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne à Moi sans aucune bonne action, puis Je le fais entrer en Enfer."

11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah from Nadr ibn Suwayd from Drust ibn abu Mansur from ibn Muskan from certain individuals of our people from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “A prophet of the prophets among the descendents of Israel once passed by a man. Half of the body of the man was under the wall and the other half out of the wall. The birds had scattered it and dogs had chewed it up. Then he came to a city where the chief had passed away. His body laid in state covered with the most beautiful cloths with a huge crowed around it. He prayed to Allah saying, ‘O Lord, I testify that you make just decisions, and do not do injustice. That servant of Your’s never considered anything as your partner, even for a blinking of an eye, and You caused him to die that kind of death. This servant of You has not believed in You, even for a blinking of an eye, and You have caused him to die this kind of death.’ Allah said, ‘My servant, I am as you said I am. I make decisions with justice and do not do injustice. That servant of Mine had certain sins and I caused him to die that way so he could come in My presence without any sins. This servant of Mine had certain good deeds before Me, thus, I caused him to die this way so he would come in My presence without any good deeds before Me.’”

Un Prophète parmi les prophètes d'Israël passa devant un homme, une partie de lui était sous un mur et une partie en dehors. Les oiseaux l'avaient déplumé et les chiens l'avaient déchiré. Puis il continua son chemin et une ville lui fut présentée. Il y entra et trouva un homme parmi les plus grands de ses habitants mort sur un lit, entouré de braises. Il dit : "Ô Seigneur, je témoigne que Tu es Juste et Équitable, Tu n'opprimes pas Ton serviteur. Celui-ci n'a associé personne à Toi, même pour un instant, et Tu l'as fait périr de cette manière. Et celui-ci n'a pas cru en Toi, même pour un instant, et Tu l'as fait périr de cette manière." Il dit : "Mon serviteur, Je suis comme tu l'as dit, Juste et Équitable. Ce serviteur avait commis une mauvaise action envers Moi, je l'ai fait périr de cette manière pour qu'il Me rencontre, et il ne lui reste rien. Et ce serviteur avait une bonne action envers Moi, je l'ai fait périr de cette manière pour qu'il Me rencontre, et il n'a aucune bonne action envers Moi."

12. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani who has said the following: “Once I was in the presence of Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) that an old man came and said, ‘O Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) I complain to you against my sons for their failing to maintain good relations with parents and against my brothers for their injustice to me during my old age.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) said, ‘O you, for truth there is a kingdom and for falsehood there is a kingdom. Each of them is humiliated in the kingdom of the other. The least that a believer may suffer in the kingdom of falsehood is the failure of his children to maintain good relations with parents, and injustice from his brothers. Any believer who may receive comfort in the kingdom of falsehood, for this he faces suffering before his death, either in his physical health, his children or his property until Allah purifies him from what he has received in the kingdom of falsehood and will expand his share in the kingdom of truth. Exercise patience and be happy.’”
