2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from abu Jamilah 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 said, “O My truthful servants, enjoy the blessings of worshipping Me in this world; you will enjoy its benefits in the next life.’””

Allah, le Très-Haut, a dit : "Ô Mes serviteurs sincères, profitez de Mon adoration dans ce monde, car c'est par elle que vous en profiterez dans l'au-delà."

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ‘Amr ibn Jami’ from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘The best of the people are those who love worship (of Allah) intensely. They hold to it, love it in their hearts, accompany it with their body and are devoted in it. Such people are concerned no more about the world, whether it gives them comfort or difficulties.’”

La meilleure des personnes est celle qui aime l'adoration, l'embrasse, l'aime de tout son cœur, la pratique avec son corps, lui consacre tout son temps, et ne se soucie pas des difficultés rencontrées, que ce soit dans l'aisance ou dans l'adversité.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Shadhan ibn al-Khalil. The narrator has said that he wrote down from his book through the chain of his narrators who narrated in a marfu’ manner from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah saying: ‘“Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah once said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, what is worship?’ The Imam said, ‘It is good intention in obedience to Allah concerning the aspects through which He is obeyed. As for you, O ‘Isa, you will not be a believer until you can distinguish the abrogating from the abrogated.’ I then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, what is distinguishing the abrogating from the abrogated?’ The Imam said, ‘Is it not true that you obey an Imam with good intention and in good faith, and when that Imam passes away and another Imam comes, you settle your soul on obedience to him with good intention and in good faith?’ I said, ‘Yes, I do so.’ The Imam said, ‘This is distinguishing the abrogating from the abrogated.’”

La bonne intention dans l'obéissance, des aspects par lesquels Allah est obéi. Certes, ô Isa, tu ne seras pas croyant tant que tu ne connaîtras pas l'abroge du révélé et ce qui est abrogé. N'es-tu pas avec l'Imam, établissant-toi sur la bonne intention dans son obéissance, puis cet Imam part et un autre Imam vient, et tu t'établis sur la bonne intention dans son obéissance? Ceci est la connaissance de l'abroge du révélé et de l'abrogé.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from Jamil from Harun ibn Kharijah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘There are three kinds of worship: there are people who worship Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, because of fear. This kind of worship is the worship of slaves. There are people who worship Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, for His rewards. This is the worship of people for hire. There are people who worship Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, for His love. This is the worship of free people and this is the best kind of worship.’”

a dit : "Certes, les serviteurs sont de trois catégories : il y a ceux qui adorent Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, par crainte, c'est là l'adoration des esclaves ; il y a ceux qui adorent Allah, Béni et Très-Haut, par recherche de récompense, c'est là l'adoration des mercenaires ; et il y a ceux qui adorent Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, par amour pour Lui, c'est là l'adoration des hommes libres, et c'est la meilleure forme d'adoration."

6. Ali 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, ‘How ugly is poverty after riches, sin in destitution and worst of all worshipping Allah and then giving up His worship.’”

Le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu et Ses bénédictions soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit: "Rien n'est plus laid que la pauvreté après la richesse, et rien n'est plus laid que le péché après la quiétude, et plus laid encore que cela est l'adorateur de Dieu qui abandonne ensuite Son adoration."

7. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’ alia ibn Muhammad from al- Washsha’ from ‘Asim ibn Humayd from abu Hamza from Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) has said, ‘One who fulfills what Allah has made obligatory upon him, he, among the people, is the one who worships the most.’”

Celui qui accomplit ce qu'Allah lui a prescrit fait partie des plus dévoués des gens.
