La Vertu de l'Assistance Bienveillante

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Um ay r from Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab 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, ‘All Benevolent Assistance is charity.’”

Chaque acte de bien est une aumône.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa and Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah all from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sa‘dan ibn Muslim from abu Yaqzan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘I see Benevolent Assistance is as good as its name. No other thing is better than providing Benevolent Assistance except the reward for it, which one has in one’s intention thereby. Not everyone who loves Benevolent Assistance provides such charity. Not everyone who loves to provide Benevolent Assistance is able to do so, and not everyone who loves to provide Benevolent Assistance has permission to do so. When all three conditions - the desire, the ability and permission - to provide Benevolent Assistance come together, only then will the goal and the means materialize.” (Ahmad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from ibn Faddal from abu Jamilah from Muhammad ibn Marwan from abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, a similar Hadith.)

J'ai vu la bienfaisance comme son nom, et il n'y a rien de meilleur que la bienfaisance, sa récompense est recherchée, et ce n'est pas parce que quelqu'un aime faire le bien envers les gens qu'il le fait, ni que tout celui qui désire quelque chose est capable de l'accomplir, ni que quiconque est capable de le faire lui est permis de le faire. Lorsque le désir, la capacité et la permission se rejoignent, c'est là que le bonheur est complet pour celui qui cherche et pour celui vers qui on cherche. Cela a également été rapporté par Ahmad ibn Abi 'Abdillah d'Ibn Faddal, d'Abi Jumaylah, de Muhammad ibn Marwan, d'Abi 'Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) de manière similaire.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash‘ariy from ibn al-Qaddah from abu ‘Abd Allah, from his ancestors, recipients of divine supreme covenant, who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has narrated from his ancestors from the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, who has said, ‘Providing Benevolent Assistance is charity. One who shows the way to good is just like a doer of good. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, loves those who provide relief to a grief stricken person.’”

Chaque acte de bienfaisance est une aumône, et celui qui guide vers une bonne action a la récompense de celui qui l'accomplit. Et Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, aime soulager la détresse.

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said , ‘Providing Benevolent Assistance is something other than compulsory charity (zakat). You must seek nearness to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, through virtuous deeds and good relations with relatives.’”

"Ce qui est connu est autre que la zakat. Approchez-vous donc d'Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, par la piété et le maintien des liens de parenté."

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following:“Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that you should provide Benevolent Assistance to those who deserve and to those who (in reality) are un-deserving; if the recipient does not deserve it, you are considered a provider of Benevolent Assistance.”

"Fais le bien envers ceux qui te sont proches et envers ceux qui ne le sont pas. Si quelqu'un n'est pas de tes proches, comporte-toi envers lui comme s'il l'était."

7. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar and others have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al- Qasim from a man of the people of Sabat who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to ‘Ammar, ‘O ‘Ammar, are you the owner of a great wealth?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause.’ The Imam then asked, ‘Do you pay all of the zakat Allah has made compulsory upon you to pay?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I do so.’ The Imam then asked, ‘Do you pay the known amount out of your wealth?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I do so.’ The Imam then asked, ‘Do you maintain good relations with your relatives?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I do so.’ The Imam then asked, ‘Do you maintain good relations with your brothers (in belief)?’ He replied, ‘Yes I do so.’ The Imam then said, ‘O ‘Ammar, wealth vanishes, bodies become old, but good deeds remain, and the One who provides compensation for good deeds lives and never dies. O ‘Ammar, whatever you send ahead of you, does not leave you behind; whatever you delay does not catch up with you.’”

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Darraj from Hadid ibn Hakim or Murazim who has said the following: ‘Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If a believing person maintains good relations with his brother in belief, he is considered as maintaining such relations with the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’”

"Tout croyant qui atteint son frère croyant de manière bienveillante, cela atteint le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Ses bénédictions soient sur lui et sa famille)."

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Provide Benevolent Assistance to everyone; if the recipient is not deserving, you are a deserving provider.” (This and Hadith 6 above are considered to apply when the provider has no knowledge of the condition of the recipient. Thus, what will come later does not contradict.)

قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) اصْنَعُوا الْمَعْرُوفَ إِلَى كُلِّ أَحَدٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَهْلَهُ وَإِلاَّ فَأَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Once an Arab man from the tribe of banu al-Tamim came to see the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘Please grant me good advice.’ The good advice the Holy Prophet provided was this, ‘O so and so, do not withhold Benevolent Assistance from deserving recipients.’”

Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Certains Arabes de la tribu de Tamim vinrent voir le Prophète et lui demandèrent des conseils. Il leur dit : 'Ô Untel, ne néglige pas les bonnes actions envers ta famille.'

11. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Walid 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, ‘The first ones entering Paradise are those who actuate Benevolent Assistance and come to me at the pond in Paradise.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Le premier à entrer au Paradis sera Al-Ma'ruf et sa famille, et le premier à venir à moi au bassin."

12. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Isma‘il ibn Mehran from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘You must consider slips possible by providers of Benevolent Assistance and forgive them for such slips; Allah’s protection for them is like this;’ using his hand as shielding something, the Imam explained.”

"Accordez aux gens de bienveillance leurs erreurs et pardonnez-les, car si Allah Tout-Puissant les couvre de Son pardon ainsi, Il fait un geste de la main comme s'Il cachait quelque chose."
