La Charité Repousse les Malheurs

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “This is a narration of abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, from his ancestors. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Allah, the Lord, besides whom no one deserves to be worshipped, certainly repels by charity illnesses such as plague, boils, drowning, death by falling of crumbling debris, insanity, and so on. . . . He counted up to seventy kinds of misfortunes.”’

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit: "Certes, Allah, il n'y a de divinité que Lui, repousse par l'aumône la maladie, la peste, l'incendie, la noyade, la destruction, la folie, et Il a promis soixante-dix portes du mal."

3. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al- Asadiy from Salim ibn Mukram who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘One day a Jewish man passed by the Holy Prophet, who said, “Assam Alaykum,” and the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, “Wa ‘Alayka” (the same to you). His companions said, ‘What the Jewish person said meant “death to you.’” The Holy Prophet said, ‘I said the same to you.’ The Holy Prophet then said, ‘A black serpent will bite him (Jewish man) on his back, and it will kill him.’ The Jewish man went and collected a great deal of firewood, then carried it on his back; after a short while, he returned. The Messenger of Allah asked him to leave his firewood on the ground. He agreed, not realizing there was a black serpent biting on a twig inside the bunch of firewood. The Messenger of Allah asked, ‘What did you do today, Jewish man?’ He replied, ‘I did not do anything other than collecting this firewood and moving. While returning, I ate one of the two cakes I had, and gave the other one as charity to a destitute person.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Because of that charity, Allah protected you. Giving charity repels bad forms of death from man.’”

Un juif est passé devant le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui), et lui a dit : "La mort soit sur toi". Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) lui a répondu : "Et sur toi aussi". Ses compagnons lui ont dit : "Il t'a seulement maudit avec la mort". Le Prophète a répondu : "La mort soit sur toi". Puis le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a expliqué que ce juif était mordu par un serpent noir dans sa poche, et qu'il allait mourir. Le juif est parti, a ramassé beaucoup de bois, l'a porté, puis est revenu. Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) lui a dit de le poser. Le juif a posé le bois, et un serpent noir est sorti de la pile de bois et l'a mordu. Le Prophète lui a demandé ce qu'il avait fait ce jour-là. Le juif a répondu : "Je n'ai rien fait d'autre que de ramasser ce bois que j'ai porté ici. J'avais avec moi deux gâteaux que j'ai mangés, et j'ai donné l'un en charité à un pauvre". Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit que par ce geste, Allah avait éloigné le mal de lui, et a enseigné que la charité éloigne le mauvais destin de l'homme.

4. 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 Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘They (reliable people) were of the opinion that by giving charity, a man saves himself from suffering injustice.’”

`Alī (sur lui le salut) a dit : "Ils considéraient que l'aumône protégeait l'homme injuste."

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sulayman ibn ‘Amr al-Nakha‘iy who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Do not be late in giving charity; misfortunes cannot bypass it (charity).”’

Précipitez-vous à donner l'aumône, car les épreuves ne la dépassent pas.

6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hammad from Hanan ibn Sadir from his father who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Giving charity repels seventy kinds of worldly misfortunes as well as disgraceful death. One who gives charity never dies a disgraceful death and will have his reward on the Day of Judgment.”

La charité éloigne soixante-dix calamités parmi les épreuves de ce monde, même la mort mauvaise. Son détenteur ne subira jamais une mort mauvaise, avec ce qui est réservé pour lui dans l'au-delà.

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Bishr ibn Safmah from Misma’ ibn ‘Abd af-Mafik who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘If one gives charity in the morning, Allah removes ill-omened matters from him.’”

Celui qui fait l'aumône le matin, Dieu éloignera de lui le malheur de cette journée.

8. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from more than one narrator from Ali ibn Asbat from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once in response to the words of Isma‘il ibn Muhammad that his son had given charity on his behalf and that he is a man, said this. ‘Ask him to give charity, even if it is only a small piece of bread.’ The Imam then said that abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘A man in banu Israel had a son whom he loved a great deal. In his dream, he was told, “One night, after going to bed with his wife, your son will die.” His father helped him to get married and when that night came, he was concerned about his dream. In the morning he found his son safe and alive. He went to him and asked, “Son, did you do any good deed last night?” He replied, “No, except that a beggar came to the door last night. They had spared some food for me, and I gave it to the beggar.” He then said, “Because of this, (Allah) has repelled misfortune from you.””’

`Isnad et matn fusionnés en raison de la complexité de l'isnad.`

9. Through the same chain of narrators, it is narrated from Ali ibn Asbat from the chain of his narrators who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said a man and I shared a piece of land. The man was an astrologer. He would find the lucky hour for his coming out of his home and an unlucky hour for me to come out of my home. We divided it, and my share was the better one. The man struck his hand against the other and said, ‘I have never seen such a day!’ I then said, ‘Woe upon the others. What is the matter?’ He said, ‘I am an astrologer. I asked you to come out from your home in an unlucky hour, and I came out in a lucky hour. We divided it, but your share came out to be the better one.’ I then asked, ‘Can I narrate to you a Hadith my father narrated to me? The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “If one has a wish before Allah to remove the evil of an unlucky hour from him, he should begin his day by giving charity. For giving charity, Allah removes the evil of the unlucky hour from him. If one has a wish before Allah to remove the evil of the unlucky hour of the night from him, he should begin his night by giving charity. For giving charity, Allah removes the evil of the unlucky hour of the night from him.” I began my coming out by giving charity. This is better than your astrology.’”

Il y avait entre moi et un homme un partage de terre. Cet homme était un expert en astrologie et il choisissait l'heure de la sortie du soleil pour sortir, tandis que je choisissais l'heure de l'éclipse pour sortir. Nous avons partagé la terre et il m'est revenu la meilleure part. L'homme a frappé sa main droite avec sa main gauche et a dit : "Je n'ai jamais vu un jour comme celui-ci." J'ai dit : "Malheur à l'autre part." Il a dit : "Je suis un expert en astrologie, je t'ai fait sortir à l'heure de l'éclipse et je suis sorti à l'heure du soleil. Puis nous avons partagé et il t'est revenu la meilleure part." J'ai dit : "Puis-je te raconter un hadith que mon père m'a transmis ?" Il a dit : "Dis." Le Messager d'Allah (que la paix soit sur lui et sa famille) a dit : "Celui qui souhaite qu'Allah éloigne de lui le malheur de sa journée, qu'il commence sa journée par une aumône par laquelle Allah éloigne de lui le malheur de sa journée. Et celui qui souhaite qu'Allah éloigne de lui le malheur de sa nuit, qu'il commence sa nuit par une aumône par laquelle Allah éloigne de lui le malheur de sa nuit." J'ai dit : "J'ai commencé ma sortie par une aumône, c'est mieux pour toi que la connaissance des étoiles."

10. AI-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘affa’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali af-Washsha’ who has said the following: “I heard abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, ‘Among banu Israel there was a man who did not have a son. When he became the father of a son, he was told that his son would die on the night of his marriage. The boy waited until the night of his marriage, when he saw a frail, old man. He felt sympathy for him and invited him for food. The old man said to him, “You revived me, and I pray to Allah to give you life.” He (the father) was told in his dream to ask his son about what he had done. He asked his son, and his son told him about his treatment of the old man. Someone in his dream, again, told him that Allah has protected your son from dying because of his good treatment of the old man.’”

J'ai entendu dire qu'un homme parmi les Enfants d'Israël n'avait pas d'enfant, puis un garçon lui est né. On lui dit que son fils allait mourir la nuit de ses noces. Le garçon resta avec lui, et quand vint la nuit des noces, il vit un vieillard faible. Le garçon eut pitié de lui, l'invita et lui offrit à manger. Le vieillard lui dit : "Tu m'as donné la vie, que Dieu te donne la vie." Ensuite, un homme vint le voir en rêve et lui demanda ce que son fils avait fait. Il l'interrogea et lui rapporta ce qu'il avait fait. Puis, l'homme vint le voir une autre fois en rêve et lui dit : "Dieu a fait revivre ton fils à cause de ce qu'il a fait pour le vieillard."

11. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from those he has mentioned from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I was in the presence of abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. At that time, one of the extended over-hangings of the Masjid fell on a man and injured his leg. Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, told us to ask him about what he has done today. When people asked him about it, he said, ‘When I came out of my home, there were some dates in my sleeve. I passed by a beggar and gave him one piece of date as charity. 5 Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘That is the reason why Allah repelled misfortune from you.”’

J'étais avec Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) dans la mosquée du Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) lorsqu'une partie du toit de la mosquée est tombée sur un homme sans lui causer de mal, mais a touché sa jambe. Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Demandez-lui ce qu'il a fait aujourd'hui." Ils l'ont interrogé et il a répondu : "Je suis sorti avec des dattes dans ma manche et j'ai rencontré un mendiant à qui j'ai donné une datte en charité." Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Par cela, Allah a écarté de toi le mal."
