Nourrir un croyant

3. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad from Safwan ibn Yahya from abu Hamza from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Whoever, feeds three Muslims, Allah will feed him from three gardens in the Kingdom of the heaven, the garden of al-Firdaws, (paradise), the garden of Eden and Tuba’, the tree that comes out of the garden of Eden is planted by our Lord with His own hands.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Celui qui nourrit trois personnes parmi les musulmans, Allah le nourrira de trois jardins dans le Royaume des cieux : le Paradis al-Firdaws, le Jardin de 'Adn et le Tooba, ainsi qu'un arbre qui pousse du Jardin de 'Adn, planté par notre Seigneur de Sa propre main."

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar al-Yamani from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The serving of a man’s food at his home to two of the believing people to their satisfaction is more meritorious than the setting free of a human soul.”

Aucun homme n'invite deux croyants chez lui et les nourrit jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient rassasiés sans que cela ne soit meilleur que de libérer un esclave.

5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Hammad from Ibrahim from abu Hamza from Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever provides food to a believer to satisfy his hunger Allah will feed him with the fruits of paradise and whoever provides water to quench the thirst of a believer Allah will quench his thirst from the wine of paradise which is in sealed containers.”

Celui qui nourrit un croyant affamé, Allah le nourrira des fruits du Paradis, et celui qui donne à boire à un croyant assoiffé, Allah le fera boire du nectar scellé.

6. 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: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘If one serves food to a believer to satisfy his hunger, no one of the creatures of Allah will be able to find out how much reward he will have in the hereafter for such service, not even the angels close to Allah or a prophet Divinely commissioned to preach can find out except Allah, Lord of the worlds. ’ The Imam then said, ‘Among the means of forgiveness of sins is feeding a hungry Muslim.’ Then he read the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy: ‘. . . in a day of famine, the feeding of (9:14) an orphaned relative (9:15) and downtrodden destitute person, . . .’” (9:16)

Celui qui nourrit un croyant jusqu'à le rassasier, personne parmi la création de Dieu n'a acquis autant de récompense que lui dans l'au-delà, ni un ange rapproché ni un prophète envoyé, sauf Allah, Seigneur de l'univers. Puis il a dit : Parmi ce qui entraîne le pardon, il y a le fait de nourrir un musulman affamé. Ensuite, il a récité : "Ou nourrir, en ce jour-là, un orphelin proche parent, ou un pauvre dans le dénuement".

7. 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, ‘Whoever serves a drink of water to a believer who (himself) also can find water, Allah will give him seventy thousand good deeds for each drink and if he provides a drink of water when he (himself) is not able to find one it will be like setting free ten persons from the descendents of Tsma’il.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit : "Celui qui donne à boire à un croyant une gorgée d'eau, où qu'il se trouve de l'eau, Allah lui accorde pour chaque gorgée soixante-dix mille bonnes actions, même s'il lui donne à boire là où il ne peut pas atteindre l'eau, c'est comme s'il affranchissait dix esclaves de la descendance d'Ismaël."

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Husayn ibn Nu’aim al-Sahhaf who has said the following: “Once Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) asked, ‘Do you love your brothers (in belief) O Husayn?’ I said, ‘Yes, 1 love them.’ The Imam asked, ‘Do you provide any benefit for their poor?’ I said, ‘Yes, I do so.’ The Imam said, ‘It is obligatory for you to love whoever loves Allah. By Allah you will not provide any benefit to any of them unless you love them. Do you invite them to your house?’ I said, ‘Yes, I do so. I do not eat unless there are two, three men or less or more. ’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) then said, ‘Their excellence over you is more than your excellence over them.’ I then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, I feed them my food on my own table on my furnishings. How can their excellence be greater than my excellence?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, it is because when they come to your house they bring with them forgiveness for you and for your family and when they leave your house they leave along with your sins and the sins of your family.’”

Le Prophète (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Aimes-tu tes frères, ô Hussein ?" J'ai répondu : "Oui." Il a dit : "Leur amour profitera à leurs pauvres." J'ai dit : "Oui." Il a dit : "Certes, il t'incombe d'aimer celui qui aime Allah. Par Allah, tu ne pourras en faire bénéficier aucun d'entre eux tant que tu ne l'aimeras pas. Les inviteras-tu chez toi ?" J'ai dit : "Oui, je ne mange pas sans que parmi eux se trouvent un ou deux hommes, ou trois, ou moins, ou plus." Alors l'Imam Sadiq (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Leur préférence à ton égard est plus grande que ta préférence à leur égard." J'ai dit : "Puissé-je être ton sacrifice, je les nourrirai de ma nourriture, je leur fournirai mes montures, et leur préférence à mon égard sera plus grande." Il a dit : "Oui, quand ils entrent chez toi, ils entrent avec ton pardon et le pardon de ta famille, et quand ils sortent de chez toi, ils sortent avec tes péchés et les péchés de ta famille."

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu Muhammad al-Wabishi who has said the following: “Our people were mentioned before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.). I said, ‘I do not eat lunch or dinner without two, three or more or less of them with me.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) said, ‘Their merit over you is greater than your merit over them.’ I then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, how can it be as such? I feed them and spent for them from my property and my family serves them.’ The Imam said, ‘When they come to you they come with plenty of sustenance from Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, and when they leave, they do so with forgiveness for you.’”

`Alī ibn Ibrāhīm rapporte de son père, de Ibn Abī 'Umayr, de Abī Muḥammad al-Wābišī, qui a dit: Nos compagnons ont été mentionnés en présence de Abū 'Abdillāh (sur lui le salut), j'ai alors dit: Je ne prends ni mon petit-déjeuner ni mon dîner sans qu'il y ait parmi eux deux ou trois, parfois moins, parfois plus. Abū 'Abdillāh (sur lui le salut) a dit: Leur préférence sur toi est plus grande que ta préférence sur eux. J'ai dit: Que ma vie te soit sacrifiée! Comment alors que je les nourris avec ma nourriture, dépense sur eux de mon argent et sers ma famille pour eux? Il a dit: Quand ils entrent chez toi, ils entrent avec une subsistance de Dieu, le Très-Haut, abondante, et quand ils sortent, ils sortent avec ton pardon.

10. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Muqrin from ‘Ubayd Allah al-Wassafi from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘Feeding a Muslim man is more beloved to me than setting free a horizon (full) of people.’ I then asked, ‘How many is a horizon of people?’ The Imam said, ‘It is ten thousand people.’”

Il a dit : "Il m'est plus aimé de nourrir un homme musulman que de libérer mille esclaves parmi les gens." J'ai demandé : "Et combien est mille esclaves ?" Il a répondu : "Dix mille."

11. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Rib’i who has said the following: “Once Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) said, ‘Whoever feeds his Muslim brother (in belief) for the sake of Allah his reward will be like the reward of a person who feeds a Fi’Am, (whole group) of people.’ 1 then asked, ‘How many is a Fi’am of people?’ The Imam said, ‘It is one hundred thousand people.’”

Celui qui nourrit son frère en Dieu aura une récompense équivalente à celui qui nourrit cent mille personnes.

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam from Sadir al-Sayrafi who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has asked, ‘What prevents you from setting free a soul every day?’ I said, ‘My property is not enough to bear it.’ The Imam said, ‘Feed a Muslim every day.’ I asked, ‘Is it so, regardless, of his being affluent or poor?’ The Imam said, ‘Affluent people also desire food.’”

Ce hadith souligne l'importance de la libération d'un esclave ou de la nourriture d'un musulman chaque jour, même si les moyens sont limités, car cela est louable et bénéfique.

13. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Basir from Safwan al-Jammal from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “A meal that (I may provide) for a Muslim brother (in belief) is more beloved to me than setting free a slave.”

Il a dit : "Une bouchée que mon frère musulman mange en ma compagnie m'est plus aimée que de libérer un esclave."

14. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Safwan al-Jammal from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Feeding one of my brothers (in belief) to his satisfaction is more beloved to me than entering your market to buy a slave and set him free.”

"Il m'est plus cher de rassasier l'un de mes frères que d'entrer dans ce marché et d'acheter une tête que je libérerais."

15. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “With five Dirhams, if I enter your market to buy food to feed a few Muslim people is more beloved to me than setting free of a slave.”

Il a dit : "Il est plus aimé pour moi de prendre cinq dirhams, d'entrer dans votre marché, d'acheter de la nourriture avec et de rassembler un groupe de musulmans, que de libérer un esclave."

16. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from al-Washsha’ from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Muhammad ibn Ali (a.s.) asked, ‘How much is the value of setting free a slave?’ The Imam said, ‘It is equal to feeding a Muslim man to his satisfaction.’”

Il a été demandé à Muhammad ibn Ali (que la prière d'Allah et Ses bénédictions soient sur lui et sa famille) ce qui équivaut à affranchir un esclave. Il a répondu : "Nourrir un homme musulman."

17. Muhammad ibn Y ahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn abu al- Khattab from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Salih ibn ‘Aqabah from abu Shabal who has said the following: “I do not find anything equal in reward to visiting a believer except feeding him. Allah considers it His responsibility to feed, from the food of paradise, one who feeds a believer.”

Je ne vois rien qui égale la visite du croyant, sauf le fait de le nourrir. Il est un droit pour Allah de nourrir celui qui nourrit un croyant avec la nourriture du Paradis.

18. Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Salih ibn ‘Aqabah from Rufa’a from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Feeding a needy believer is more beloved to me than visiting him, and to visit him is more beloved to me than setting free of ten slaves.”

Il a dit : "Il m'est plus cher de nourrir un croyant dans le besoin que de le visiter, et il m'est plus cher de le visiter que de libérer dix esclaves."

19. Salih ibn ‘Aqabah has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad and Yazid ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever feeds an affluent believer it is equal to setting free a slave from the descendents of Isma’il and rescuing him from slaughter. Whoever feeds a needy believer, it is equal in reward for him to set free one hundred slaves from the descendents of Isma’il and rescue them from being slaughtered.”

Celui qui nourrit un croyant aisé, il lui sera attribué la récompense de libérer un esclave parmi les descendants d'Ismaël, le sauvant ainsi du sacrifice, et celui qui nourrit un croyant dans le besoin, il lui sera attribué la récompense de libérer cent esclaves parmi les descendants d'Ismaël, les sauvant ainsi du sacrifice.

20. Salih ibn ‘Aqabah has narrated from Nasr ibn Qabus from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Feeding a believer is, indeed, more beloved to me than setting free ten slaves and performing ten Hajj.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘Is it like setting free ten slaves and performing ten Hajj?’ He has said that the Imam said, ‘O Nasr, if you do not feed him he will die or you will humiliate him, then he will go to one who is a bitter enemy of the Imam and will ask him for help. Death is better for him than asking help from such enemy of the Imam. O Nasr, giving life to a believer is like giving life to all mankind. If you do not feed him you have caused his death, if you feed him you have given him life.’”

Il a dit : "Le fait de nourrir un croyant est plus aimé pour moi que de libérer dix esclaves, ou d'accomplir dix pèlerinages." Il a dit : "J'ai dit : 'Libérer dix esclaves et accomplir dix pèlerinages ?' Il a répondu : 'Ô Nasr, si vous ne le nourrissez pas, il mourra, ou vous le montrerez à un poteau indicateur où il demandera de l'aide, et la mort est meilleure pour lui que de demander de l'aide à un poteau indicateur. Ô Nasr, celui qui fait revivre un croyant, c'est comme s'il avait fait revivre toute l'humanité. Si vous ne le nourrissez pas, vous l'avez tué, et si vous le nourrissez, vous l'avez fait revivre."
