Sur le réconfort offert

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, has granted people three favors: He has made dead bodies to give out foul smell; otherwise, no friend would ever bury a friend. He has made solace to take effect; otherwise, reproduction would halt. He has assigned a creature over this grain (to destroy it); otherwise, the kings would store (hoard) them as gold and silver are treasured (in hiding).”

Certes, Allah, Le Très Haut, a favorisé Ses serviteurs avec trois choses : Il a envoyé le vent après l'âme. Sans cela, personne n'aurait enterré un proche. Il a envoyé la pluie. Sans cela, la descendance aurait été interrompue. Il a envoyé sur cette petite créature, la mouche. Sans cela, leurs rois l'auraient cachée comme ils cachent l'or et l'argent.
