L'Excellence du Jeûne et du Jeûne

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Faddal from Tha’labah from Ali ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once asked me, ‘Should I tell you what the root, the branch, the peak and the highest point of Islam is?’ I replied, ‘Please, do so.’ He said, ‘The root of Islam is salat (prayer), its branch is zakat, and its peak and highest point is al-Jihad in the way of Allah. Should I tell you about the doors to goodness? Fasting certainly is a shield.’”

"Ne devrais-je pas te informer des fondements de l'Islam, de ses branches, de ses piliers et de ses fondations?" J'ai dit: "Si, certes." Il a dit: "Son fondement est la prière, sa branche est l'aumône légale, ses piliers et ses fondations sont le combat dans le chemin d'Allah. Ne devrais-je pas te informer des portes du bien? Certes, le jeûne est une protection."

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Musa ibn Bakr who has said the following: “He (the Imam), ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘Everything has a cleanser; the cleanser for bodies is fasting.”

Chaque chose a une aumône, et l'aumône pour les corps est le jeûne.

5. Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Uthman from Isma‘il ibn Yasar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘My father has said, “When a person completes a day of optional fasting for the sake of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, Allah admits him in Paradise.’””

Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) a dit: "Mon père a dit: Certes, un homme jeûne un jour surérogatoire cherchant ce qui est auprès d'Allah, Le Puissant et Majestueux, et Allah lui fait entrer au Paradis grâce à cela."

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Salamah, Sahib al-Sabiriy from abu al-Sabbah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has said, ‘Fasting is for Me, and I reward for it.’”

Certes, Allah, le Très Haut et Glorifié, dit : "Le jeûne m'appartient et c'est Moi qui en récompense."

7. Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Sulayman from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “This is about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Seek support through patience.’ (2:45) Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘“Patience” is a reference to fasting.’ He further said, ‘If a man faces severe difficulties, he should fast. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “Seek support through patience,” that is, “fasting.””’

...concernant la parole d'Allāh, le Très Haut : "Et cherchez secours dans la patience et la ṣalāt". Il dit : "La patience, c'est le jeûne". Il dit également : "Quand une épreuve touche un homme, qu'elle soit légère ou sévère, qu'il jeûne. Car Allāh, le Très Haut, dit : 'Et cherchez secours dans la patience', c'est-à-dire le jeûne."

8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Mundhir ibn Yazid from Yunus ibn Zabayan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If one, for the sake of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, fasts on a very hot day, causing him to experience a great deal of thirst, Allah assigns a thousand angels for his safety who wipe his face until he discontinues his fast.’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, then says, ‘How fine is your fragrance and spirit! O My angels, bear witness that I have granted him forgiveness.’”

Celui qui jeûne un jour pour Allah, exalté soit-Il, par une chaleur intense et ressent la soif, Allah lui confie mille anges qui lui caressent le visage et lui annoncent la bonne nouvelle, jusqu'à ce qu'il rompe son jeûne. Allah, exalté soit-Il, lui dit : "Que ton odeur et ton souffle soient agréables à Mes anges, mes anges témoignent que J'ai pardonné pour lui."

9. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn Hassan from Muhammad ibn Ali from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from ‘Abd Allah ibn Talhah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘A fasting person, even when resting in bed, is in the state of worshipping as long as he does not backbite a Muslim.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Le jeûneur est en état d'adoration même s'il est sur son lit, tant qu'il ne médit pas sur un musulman."

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that if a person fasts secretly, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, says to His angels, ‘My servant has sought protection against my punishment, you must give him protection.’ Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, then assigns His angels to pray for the fasting people and in whoever’ s favor He commands them to pray, He hears and accepts their prayers.’”

Celui qui cache son jeûne, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, dit à Ses anges : "Mon serviteur s'est réfugié de Mon châtiment, protégez-le". Allah Tout-Puissant charge Ses anges de prier pour les jeûneurs, et Il ne leur ordonne de prier pour quelqu'un que leur prière n'est exaucée en lui.

11. Ali has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from his ancestors, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, that the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has assigned His angels to pray in favor of the fasting people. He (the Holy Prophet) has said, ‘ Jibril has informed me from his Lord who has said, “When I command My angels to pray in favor of someone, I do not leave their prayers without acceptance.’””

[Le contenu du hadith]

12. It is narrated, through the same chain (narrators of previous Hadith), who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that a fasting person’s sleeping is also counted as worshipping and his breathing as speaking of the glory of Allah.”

Le sommeil du jeûneur est un acte d'adoration et sa respiration est une glorification (de Dieu).

13. Ali has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from ibn abu ‘Umayr from certain individuals of our people who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, sent revelation to Moses, thereby asking him, ‘What keeps you from speaking to Me?’ Moses replied, ‘It is to keep away the bad breath of fasting in order to respect your glory.’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, then sent him revelation that said, ‘O Moses, bad breath of a fasting person is more beloved to Me than musk.’”

Allah, le Très-Haut, a révélé à Moïse (sur lui la paix) : "Qu'est-ce qui t'empêche de Me parler en privé ?" Il dit : "Ô mon Seigneur, je te crains pour l'haleine du jeûneur." Alors Allah, le Très-Haut, lui révéla : "Ô Moïse, l'haleine du jeûneur est plus agréable à Mes yeux que le parfum du musc."

14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Mansur ibn al-‘Abbas from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from al-Hassan ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Rest in the form of a short nap between sunrise and noontime; Allah gives food and water to a fasting person during his sleep.”’

Dites : certes, Allah nourrit le jeûneur et lui donne à boire pendant son sommeil.

15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Salmah Sahib al-Sabiriy from ibn abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that a fasting person enjoys two occasions of happiness: one is at the time of ending his fast, and the other is when he meets his Lord.”

Il a dit au jeûneur : "Il y a deux joies pour lui : une joie lors de la rupture de son jeûne, et une joie lors de la rencontre de son Seigneur."

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Samman al-Armaniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that when a fasting person observes people or a person eating food, every piece of his hair feels a kind of covering (tranquility).”

a dit : "Quand un jeûneur voit des gens en train de manger ou un homme en train de manger, chaque poil de lui devient une barrière pour lui."

17. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Bakr ibn Salih from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Mundhir ibn Yazid from Yunus ibn Zabayan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If one, for the sake of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, fasts on a very hot day, causing him to experience a great deal of thirst, Allah assigns a thousand angels for his safety who wipe his face until the time he discontinues his fast. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, then says, “How fine is your fragrance and spirit! O My angels, bear witness that I have granted him forgiveness.””’

قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَنْ صَامَ لله يَوْماً فِي شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ فَأَصَابَهُ ظَمَأٌ وَكَّلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَمْسَحُونَ وَجْهَهُ وَيُبَشِّرُونَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَفْطَرَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا أَطْيَبَ رِيحَكَ وَرَوْحَكَ مَلائِكَتِي اشْهَدُوا أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ.
