Pour Satisfaire les Croyants

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn al- Walid al-Wassafi who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying, ‘Of the private conversations that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, made with Moses was this: ‘Of my servants there are those to whom I have allotted my paradise and made them rule it.’ Moses then asked, Lord, ‘Who are these people to whom you have allotted your paradise and made them rule it?’ The Lord said, ‘They are those who bring joy to the heart of a believer.’ He then said, ‘A believing man once lived in the domain of a tyrant and because of fear he moved away from the tyrant into a pagan’s land and he found lodging with a pagan who provided him shadow, came forward with friendly behavior and entertained him as a guest. When death approached the pagan man, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, inspired him, ‘I swear by my Majesty and Glory, had I any place for you in my paradise I would have admitted you therein, but it is forbidden for those who die as pagans. However, O fire, calm down and do not hurt him. His sustenance will be provided in both ends of the day.’ I then asked the Imam, ‘(Does it come) from paradise?’ The Imam said, ‘It comes from wherever Allah wishes.’”

Certes, dans ce qu'Allah, le Très Haut, a révélé en secret à Son serviteur Moïse (que la paix soit sur lui), Il a dit: "J'ai des serviteurs que J'autorise à entrer dans Mon Paradis et à qui Je donne autorité là-bas." Moïse a demandé: "Ô Seigneur, qui sont ces personnes que Tu autorises à entrer dans Ton Paradis et à qui Tu donnes autorité là-bas?" Allah a répondu: "Celui qui a apporté de la joie à un croyant, puis ce croyant a été opprimé par un tyran et a fui vers une terre de polythéisme, où il est tombé chez un homme de polythéisme qui l'a protégé, traité avec compassion et intégré. Quand la mort l'a atteint, Allah, le Très Haut, lui a révélé: 'Par Ma grandeur et Ma majesté, si tu avais une demeure dans Mon Paradis, Je t'y aurais logé. Mais elle est interdite à quiconque meurt en associant d'autres divinités à Moi. Cependant, ô Feu, sois sa fraîcheur et sa sécurité, et son provision lui sera apportée des deux côtés du jour.' J'ai demandé: 'Du Paradis?' Il a répondu: 'D'où Allah le souhaite.'"

4. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Bakr ibn Salih from al-Hassan ibn Ali from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim from Ali ibn abu Ali from abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) who has said the following: ‘‘The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Of the most beloved deed to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is bringing joy to the heart of the believer.’”

"Certes, les actions les plus aimées de Dieu sont d'apporter de la joie aux croyants."

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: ‘‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, sent revelations to David that said, ‘One of my servants may come to Me with a good deed and I admit him in paradise.’ David asked, ‘Lord, what is that good deed?’ The Lord said, ‘It is bringing joy to the heart of my believing servant even if it is by one piece of date.’ David then said, ‘Lord, it is very true that one who comes to know You must not lose hope of Your kindness.’”

Allah, le Très-Haut, a révélé à Dawud (que la paix soit sur lui) : "Certes, l'un de Mes serviteurs parmi Mes serviteurs viendra à Moi avec une bonne action, Je lui ouvrirai les portes de Mon Paradis." Dawud dit : "Ô Seigneur, quelle est cette bonne action ?" Il répondit : "Elle apporte à Mon serviteur croyant de la joie, même avec un simple fruit de datte." Dawud dit : "Ô Seigneur, il est juste pour celui qui Te connaît de ne pas désespérer de Ta miséricorde."

6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Khalaf ibn Hammad from Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “One of you must not think that when he brings joy to the heart of a believer he has brought joy to his heart only. I swear by Allah, in fact, he has done so to our hearts and also, I swear by Allah, he has done so to (the heart of) the Messenger of Allah.”

"Aucun d'entre vous ne devrait ressentir de la joie en entrant chez un croyant, pensant qu'il lui a apporté de la joie, mais par Allah, c'est sur nous, et par Allah, c'est sur le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et ses bénédictions soient sur lui et sur sa famille)."

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from abu al-Jarud from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying, ‘The most beloved of deeds to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is bringing joy to the heart of a believer, by means of satisfying his hunger or paying off his debt.’”

J'ai entendu dire Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) : "Certes, les actes les plus aimés de Dieu, Puissant et Majestueux, sont d'apporter de la joie à un croyant, de rassasier un musulman affamé ou de rembourser sa dette."

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Sadir al-Sayrafi who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said in a long Hadith, ‘When Allah raises a believer from his grave along with him, in front, comes out a form. When and wherever the believer faces a frightening scene of the scenes of the Day of Judgment the form says to him, “Do not be afraid or sad. There is good and joyful news of the honor from Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy,” until he is before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy. He is held accountable very lightly and then is admitted into paradise with the form in front of him. The believer then says to the form, ‘May Allah grant you blessings, you have been a very good companion ever since you came out with me from my grave and continued speaking of joy and honor from Allah until 1 experienced them. Who are you?’ The form will say, ‘I am the joy that you had brought to the heart of your believing brother (in belief) in the worldly life. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, created me from it to carry good news to you.”’

Quand Allah ressuscite le croyant de sa tombe, une créature sort avec lui, se tenant devant lui. Chaque fois que le croyant voit une horreur parmi les horreurs du Jour du Jugement, la créature lui dit: Ne crains pas, ne t'afflige pas, réjouis-toi de la joie et de la dignité d'Allah jusqu'à ce qu'il se tienne devant Allah pour être jugé rapidement. Il sera alors ordonné d'entrer au Paradis et la créature sera devant lui. Le croyant lui dira: Que Dieu te bénisse, quelle belle sortie tu as faite avec moi de ma tombe, et tu n'as cessé de me réjouir de la joie et de la dignité d'Allah jusqu'à ce que je voie cela. La créature lui dira: Qui es-tu? Il répondra: Je suis la joie que tu as introduite à ton frère croyant dans ce monde. Allah m'a créé de Lui pour te réjouir.

9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from al- Sayyari from Muhammad ibn Jumhur who has said the following: “Al-Najashiy, is a man of the landlords (community) and an agent in al-Ahwaz and Fars. Certain persons of his workers once said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘In the office of al-Najashiy taxes are recorded as due by me. He is a believer and believes in obedience to you. If you consider it proper, write for me a letter to him (to relieve me of the taxes).’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) wrote him, ‘(I begin) in the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful. Send joy to the heart of your brother, Allah will send joy to your heart.’ ‘‘When the letter came he took it to him in his office. When it was private he gave him the letter and said, ‘This is a letter from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.).’ He kissed the letter and placed it on his eyes and asked, ‘What do you want?’ He said, ‘Certain taxes are recorded in your office as due by me.’ He then asked, ‘How much are they?’ He said, ‘Ten thousand dirham.’ He then called his secretary and told him to write off all the taxes due by him, and he said not to levy any taxes on him in future. Then he asked, ‘Did I make you happy now?’ He replied, ‘Yes, may I be your servant.’ He then ordered to give him an animal so he could ride, a maid servant, a male servant and a set of dress and for each item he would ask, ‘Did I make you happy?’ He would say, ‘Yes, may I be your servant.’ As long as he said, ‘Yes, he increased his gifts until the last gift. He then said, ‘Take the floor covering of this house wherein you gave me the letter of my master and asked me to help you in your needs. ’ “I (the narrator) did so as I was told and then went to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) and informed him of his story the way it had happened. The Imam enjoyed what he had done. 1 then said, ‘O descendent of the Messenger of Allah, it seems he has made you happy by means of his favors to me. ’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, by Allah, he certainly has made Allah and the Messenger of Allah happy.’”

Al-Najashi, un homme des Dahqan, travaillait en Ahwaz et en Fars. Certains de ses associés dirent à Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) : "Il y a une taxe que je dois payer à Al-Najashi, qui est croyant et obéit à vos ordres. Si vous pouviez lui écrire une lettre en ma faveur." Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) lui écrivit alors : "Au nom d'Allah, le Tout Miséricordieux, le Très Miséricordieux. Réjouis ton frère pour qu'Allah te réjouisse." Lorsque la lettre lui parvint, il entra chez lui alors qu'il était en réunion. Après avoir lu la lettre, il l'embrassa, la plaça sur ses yeux et demanda : "Quelle est ta requête ?" L'homme répondit : "Je dois payer une taxe dans ton bureau." Al-Najashi demanda combien, et l'homme répondit : "Dix mille dirhams." Al-Najashi appela son secrétaire, lui ordonna de payer cette somme pour lui, puis la lui remit. Il ordonna ensuite de lui fournir un chariot, une servante, un garçon, et de lui donner des vêtements. À chaque fois qu'il demandait à l'homme s'il était satisfait, il répondait : "Oui, que je sois ton sacrifice." Chaque fois qu'il répondait ainsi, Al-Najashi ajoutait plus, jusqu'à ce qu'il ait tout donné. Ensuite, il lui dit : "Prends les tapis de cette maison où tu étais assis lorsque tu m'as remis la lettre de mon maître. Élève-moi tes besoins." L'homme fit ce qui lui était demandé, puis partit. Après cela, il revint voir Abu Abdullah et lui raconta l'histoire de son côté. Abu Abdullah fut ravi de ce qu'il avait fait pour lui. L'homme dit : "Ô fils du Messager d'Allah, il semble que ce que tu as fait pour moi t'a plu." Abu Abdullah répondit : "Oui, par Allah, Allah et Son Messager t'ont certainement plu."

10. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from al- Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Mansur from ‘Ammar ibn abu al-Yaqzan from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about the rights of a believer on another believer. He has said that the Imam said, ‘The right of a believer on a believer is greater than that (description). If I tell you about it you will become unbelievers. When a believer comes out of his grave a form comes out with him and says, “There is good news of honor and happiness for you from Allah.” He then says to the form, ‘May Allah give you good news.’ He then moves with him and gives him good news as before and as they come across a frightening scene of the Day of Judgment the form says this is not against you. As they come across a good thing the form says this is for you. The form remains with him, giving him comfort and good news of what he loves until it stands with him before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, where He orders for him to be taken to paradise. The form says to him, ‘Good news for you; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has ordered that you be admitted in paradise. ’ “The Imam said, ‘He asks, “Who are you, may Allah grant you favors? You have been giving me good news from the time you came out with me from my grave. On the way you have been giving me comfort and informed me of the decision of my Lord?’” The form then says, ‘I am the joy that you had sent to the heart of your believing brothers (in belief) in the worldly life. I was created from it to give you good news and comfort you in frightening conditions.”’ Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal a similar Hadith.

Le droit du croyant envers un autre croyant est plus grand que cela. Si je vous en parlais, vous deviendriez mécréants. Certes, lorsque le croyant sort de sa tombe, une partie de sa tombe sort avec lui, lui disant: Réjouis-toi de l'honneur et de la joie de la part d'Allah. Il lui répondra: Que Dieu te réjouisse d'une bonne nouvelle. Puis il avancera avec lui, lui annonçant la même chose. Lorsqu'il passe par un endroit sombre, il lui dira: Ceci ne t'appartient pas. Et lorsqu'il passe par un endroit lumineux, il lui dira: Ceci t'appartient. Ainsi, il le rassurera sur ce qu'il craint et lui annoncera ce qu'il aime, jusqu'à ce qu'il se tienne devant Allah Tout-Puissant. Lorsqu'Il lui ordonnera d'entrer au Paradis, la partie de sa tombe lui dira: Réjouis-toi, car Allah Tout-Puissant t'a ordonné d'entrer au Paradis. Qui es-tu? Que Dieu te bénisse! Tu m'as réjoui depuis ma sortie de ma tombe, tu m'as réconforté sur mon chemin et tu m'as informé à propos de mon Seigneur. La réponse sera: Je suis la joie que tu apportais à tes frères dans ce monde. J'ai été créé pour te réjouir, te réconforter et dissiper ta solitude.

11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘The most beloved deed to Allah is the joy that you send to the heart of a believer by means of removing his hunger or relieving him of his suffering.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Les actions les plus aimées par Allah sont la joie que tu apportes à un croyant en soulageant sa faim ou en dissipant sa détresse."

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al- Hakam ibn Miskin from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever sends joy to the heart of a believing man, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, creates from that joy a creature that meets him at the time of his death and says to him, ‘Good news for you, O friend of Allah, with honor from Allah and His happiness with you. The form (creature) remains with him until he is placed in his grave and speaks to him of similar good tidings. When he is raised out of the grave the form meets him and speaks to him of similar good things and remains with him. On coming across frightening things of the Day of Judgment the form gives him good news. He then asks the form, ‘Who are you, may Allah grant you favors?’ The form says, ‘I am the joy that you sent to the heart of so and so.’”

Celui qui apporte de la joie à un croyant, Allah crée de cette joie une création, puis il la rencontre à sa mort et lui dit : "Réjouis-toi, ô serviteur de Dieu, avec une dignité de la part de Dieu et Sa satisfaction." Il reste avec lui jusqu'à ce qu'il entre dans sa tombe, puis il lui dit la même chose. Quand il sera ressuscité, il le rencontrera et lui dira la même chose, et il restera avec lui à chaque étape pour lui annoncer la bonne nouvelle et lui dire la même chose. Il lui demandera : "Qui es-tu ?" Que Dieu te fasse miséricorde, répondra-t-il, je suis la joie que tu as apportée à untel.

13. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Sa’dan ibn Muslim from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Once a man, in the presence of Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) recited this verse of the Holy Quran: ‘Those who annoy the believing men and women without reason will bear the sin for a false accusation, a manifest offense.’ (33:58) The narrator has said that Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) then asked, ‘What then is the reward for sending joy to his heart?’ I said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, ten good deeds.’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, by Allah, it is one million good deeds.’”

Ce hadith met en lumière l'importance de répandre la joie et le bonheur autour de soi, et souligne la récompense abondante réservée à ceux qui apportent du réconfort et de la satisfaction à autrui.

14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah from Ali ibn Yahya from al-Walid ibn al-‘Ala’ from ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever sends joy to the heart of a believer he certainly has sent joy to the heart of the Messenger of Allah. If one sends joy to the heart of the Messenger of Allah such joy reaches Allah. The same is true of causing pain to the heart of a believer.”

Celui qui apporte de la joie à un croyant, il apporte de la joie au Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille). Et celui qui apporte de la joie au Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille), cela parvient à Allah. De même, celui qui soulage un croyant d'une angoisse.

15. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Isma’il ibn Mansur from al-Mufaddal from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Any Muslim who, on his meeting another Muslim, sends joy to his heart, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, sends joy to his (initiator of joy) heart.”

Le Prophète (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Si un musulman rencontre un autre musulman et lui fait plaisir, Allah lui fera plaisir dans Sa Majesté."

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Of the most beloved deeds to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is sending joy to the heart of a believer, by means of satisfying his hunger, relief for his suffering or paying off his debt.”

L'une des actions les plus aimées par Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, est de répandre la joie dans le cœur d'un croyant, de satisfaire sa faim, de soulager sa détresse ou de rembourser sa dette.
