Excellence dans les Comportements Moraux

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad al-Hannat from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever has four things, his belief is complete even if he is covered with sins from his top to his toes, and it will not harm him. They are truthfulness, safe return of the trust, bashfulness and excellent moral behavior.”

Il a dit: "Il y a quatre caractéristiques en celui qui les possède, son iman est complet, même s'il est chargé de péchés de la tête aux pieds, cela ne le diminue pas. Cela inclut la vérité, la fidélité aux engagements, la pudeur et la bonne moralité."

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ibn Mahbub from ‘Anbasa al-‘Abid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) once said to me, ‘No one comes before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, with good deeds, besides the obligatory ones, more beloved to Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, than one with excellent moral behavior that has room for all people in it.’”

"Ce que le croyant présente en avance à Allah, exalté et glorifié soit-Il, en termes d'actes après les obligations, est plus aimé par Allah Très-Haut que d'élargir les gens par sa générosité."

5. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Dharih from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘The reward for one who possesses excellent moral behavior is equal to the reward for one who worships all nights and fasts all days.”’

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Celui qui a une bonne moralité aura une récompense équivalente à celui qui jeûne et prie."

6. 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, ‘The fact for which most people from my followers will go to paradise are piety before Allah and excellence in moral behavior.’”

"Ce par quoi la plupart de ma communauté entrera au Paradis est la piété envers Allah et la bonne moralité."

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Husayn al-Ahmasi and ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Excellent moral behavior melts down sins just as the sun melts down hoarfrost.’”

Certes, la bonne moralité efface les péchés tout comme le soleil dissipe la glace.

8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Virtuous deeds and excellent moral behavior develop the cities and add to longevity of life.’”

"La piété et la bonne moralité embellissent les maisons et prolongent les vies."

9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid who has said that Yahya ibn ‘Amr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan narrated to me from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, revealed to one of His prophets this: “Excellent moral behavior melts down sins just as the sun melts down hoarfrost.’””

La bonne moralité efface les péchés comme le soleil efface la glace.

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “During the time of the Holy Prophet a man died. The gravediggers could not dig a grave for him. They complained to the Messenger of Allah saying, ‘O Messenger of Allah, our picks do not work. It is as if we hit a rock.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Why it would be as such had your man been excellent in moral behavior. Bring to me a bowl of water.’ When water was brought he (the Messenger of Allah) (a.s.) immersed his hand into it and then sprinkled it on the ground. He then told them to dig. They began to dig and it was like sand falling fast upon them.”

Un homme est mort à l'époque du Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui), il est allé voir les creuseurs de puits, mais ils n'avaient rien creusé. Ils se sont plaints de cela au Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui). Ils ont dit: "Ô Messager d'Allah, que devons-nous faire avec notre fer dans la terre, on dirait qu'on le frappe sur du roc." Il a dit: "Si votre compagnon a un bon caractère, apportez-moi un récipient d'eau." Ils lui ont apporté, il y a plongé sa main, puis a arrosé la terre avec. Puis il a dit: "Creusez." Les creuseurs ont alors creusé, et il semblait que le sable se déplaçait devant eux."

11. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Imam said, ‘Moral behavior is a gift that, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, bestows upon His creature. From moral behavior comes habit and intentions.’ 1 then asked, ‘Which one is better?’ The Imam said, ‘A person with an established habit is not able to do anything else. The person who possesses the intention may exercise patience for worship and thus, is the better one of the two.’”

Le bon caractère est une grâce qu'Allah accorde à Ses créatures. Certains ont une nature douce, d'autres adoptent cette attitude par choix. Celui qui est naturellement doux est contraint, incapable d'agir différemment, tandis que celui qui choisit la douceur endure patiemment dans l'obéissance, et il est le meilleur des deux.

12. 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 al-Lahabi from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, grants good rewards to a person of excellent moral behavior as He grants rewards to one who strives hard (does Jihad) in the way of Allah, mornings and evenings.’”

Certes, Allah, exalté soit-Il, récompensera le serviteur pour sa bonne moralité de la même manière qu'Il récompense le combattant dans le sentier d'Allah, il part le matin et revient le soir.

13. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Abd Allah al-Hajjall from abu ‘Uthman al-Qabusi from the people whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, has, of the moral behavior of His friends, lent to His enemies so that His friends can live with His enemies in their governments.’” In another Hadith it is stated that had it not been as such they would not have left any of Allah’s friends alive.

قَالَ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَعَارَ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَخْلاقاً مِنْ أَخْلاقِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ لِيَعِيشَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ مَعَ أَعْدَائِهِ فِي دَوْلاتِهِمْ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَلَوْ لا ذَلِكَ لَمَا تَرَكُوا وَلِيّاً لله إِلا قَتَلُوهُ.

14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from al- Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar from ‘Ala’ ibn Kamil from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “In your association with people you should have the upper hand (to benefit them), if you are able to do so. A servant (of Allah) who has shortcomings in his worship may have commendable moral behavior with which Allah grants him a reward of the degree of one who worships all nights and fasts all days.”

Lorsque tu fréquentes les gens, si tu peux éviter de fréquenter quelqu'un parmi eux, que ta main soit la plus haute sur lui. Car certes, le serviteur peut avoir un certain manquement dans l'adoration, mais posséder une bonne moralité. Alors Allah le fera atteindre par Sa belle moralité au niveau du jeûneur et du veilleur de nuit.

15. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah from Bahr al-Saqqa who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) said to me, ‘O Bahr, excellent moral behavior is prosperity. Would you like me to teach you a Hadith which is not found in the hands of any of the people of Madina?’ I said, ‘Yes, please do so.’ The Imam said, ‘Once the Messenger of Allah was in the Mosque when a girl from the people of Ansar came in and he was standing there. She held to one end of his (the Messenger of Allah’s) cloth, the Holy Prophet stood up. She did not say anything and he (the Holy Prophet) also did not say anything to her (he then sat down). She repeated it three times and at the fourth time the Holy Prophet stood up for her and she was behind him. She then took a piece from his cloth and returned back. People rebuked her saying, “May Allah do to you what He may decide to do. You held the Messenger of Allah as your captive. You did it three times. You said nothing to him nor did he say anything to you. What did you want from him?” She then said, “We had a patient and our people sent me to get a piece from his (the Messenger of Allah’s) cloth to be used to cure the patient. When I wanted to get the piece he saw me and stood up. I then felt shy to take what I wanted when he would see me. I did not like to demand anything from him. At last I took what I wanted to get.’””

Abu Abdallah (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Ô Bahar, la beauté du caractère est facilité." Puis il a dit : "Ne devrais-je pas te raconter un hadith que personne parmi les habitants de Médine ne détient ?" J'ai dit : "Si." Il a dit : "Un jour, le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) était assis dans la mosquée quand une servante d'un des Ansar est venue et il était debout. Elle a pris le bord de son vêtement et le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) s'est levé pour elle. Elle n'a rien dit et le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) ne lui a rien dit jusqu'à ce qu'elle ait fait cela trois fois. Le Prophète s'est levé pour elle la quatrième fois alors qu'elle était derrière lui et elle a pris un morceau de son vêtement. Puis elle est partie. Les gens lui ont dit : "Que Dieu te fasse miséricorde ! Tu as retenu le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) trois fois sans qu'il ne te dise rien et sans que tu ne lui dises rien. Quelle était ta nécessité envers lui ?" Elle a dit : "Nous avons un malade et ma famille m'a envoyée pour prendre un morceau de son vêtement afin qu'il se guérisse avec. Quand j'ai voulu le prendre, il m'a vue et s'est levé, et j'ai eu honte de le prendre alors qu'il me voyait. Et je détestais lui demander de me permettre de le prendre. Alors je l'ai pris."

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Habib al- Khath’ami from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘The meritorious ones among you are those who possess excellent moral behavior, who are easy to associate with, associate others with ease and comfort others.’”

Les plus vertueux parmi vous sont les plus nobles de caractère, ceux qui sont amicaux et se font des amis, et dont les bagages sont portés.

17. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari from ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun al-Qaddah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin (Ali ibn abu Talib) (a.s.) has said, ‘A believer is easy to associate with and there is nothing good in one who does not associate with others or is associated with.’”

L'Imam des croyants (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Le croyant est bienveillant et il n'y a pas de bien en celui qui n'est pas bienveillant et envers qui on n'est pas bienveillant."

18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Excellence in moral behavior takes one to the level of those who worship all nights and fast all days.’”

"Certes, la bonne moralité élève celui qui la possède au niveau du jeûneur et du dévot."
