Fornication

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ariy fm ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun al- Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has narrated from his father who has said that one who commits fornication faces six troubling issues, of which three are in this world and three in the next life. In this world it takes away light and beauty from his face, brings poverty and quicker death. In the next life, it is the anger of Allah, worse account and living in the fire forever.’”

Au fornicateur sont réservés six caractéristiques: trois dans ce monde et trois dans l'au-delà. Quant à celles de ce monde, elles emportent la lumière du visage, engendrent la pauvreté et hâtent la destruction. Quant à celles de l'au-delà, elles incluent la colère du Seigneur, un mauvais jugement et l'éternité dans le feu.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from abu ‘Ubaydah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘It is in the book of Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “When people after me will commit fornication in increasing numbers the number of deaths suddenly will also increase.’””

Nous avons trouvé dans le livre d'Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) que le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu et Ses bénédictions soient sur lui) a dit : "Si la fornication se répand après moi, la mort subite se répandra également."

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Once I was with Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, when a man came and said, ‘O abu Muhammad, I am addicted to women. One day I commit fornication and the other day I fast; if this can become expiation for the sin.’ Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘There is not anything more beloved to Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, than obedience to Him and not to disobey Him. So you must not fornicate and you must not fast.’ Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, pulled him to himself holding his hand and said, ‘O fornicator, you do the deeds of the people of hell and hope to enter paradise?”’

J'étais avec Ali ibn al-Hussein (que la paix soit sur eux) lorsqu'un homme vint le voir et lui dit : "Ô Abu Muhammad, je suis tenté par les femmes, je commets des actes illicites un jour et je jeûne un jour pour expier cela." Ali ibn al-Hussein (que la paix soit sur eux) lui répondit : "Rien n'est plus aimé par Allah, exalté soit-Il, que d'être obéi et non désobéi. Ne commets pas d'actes illicites et ne jeûne pas." Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) l'attira alors à lui, prit sa main et lui dit : "Ô Abu Zanna, tu commets les actes des gens de l'Enfer tout en espérant entrer au Paradis."

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad fm Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn Suwayd who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I am addicted to looking at beautiful women and I like looking at them. He (the Imam) said, ‘O Ali, it is not unlawful if Allah finds that your intention is truthful, but you must remain on your guard against fornication because it destroys bounties and invalidates religion.’”

"Je suis tenté de regarder une belle femme et j'aime la regarder." Il me répondit : "Ô Ali, il n'y a pas de mal si Allah connaît la sincérité de ton intention. Méfie-toi de la fornication, car elle efface la bénédiction et détruit la religion."

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and a number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from abu al-‘ Ab has al-Kufiy all from ‘Anar ibn ‘ Uthman from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Once the disciples of Jesus gathered around him and said, “O teacher of goodness teach us guidance.” Jesus said to them, “Moses has commanded you not to falsely swear by Allah and I command you not to swear even in a truthful manner.” They said, “O Spirit of Allah, please give us more guidance.” He then said, “Moses, the Holy Prophet of Allah, has commanded you not to commit fornication and I command you not to even speak to your souls about fornication, not to speak of committing fornication, because one who speaks to his soul about fornication is like one who decorates a house and smoke destroys the house even though it does not burn down the whole house.’”

Les disciples se sont réunis autour de Jésus (que la paix soit sur lui) et lui ont dit : "Ô enseignant du bien, guide-nous." Il leur a répondu : "Moïse, le parlant à Dieu, vous a ordonné de ne pas jurer par Dieu, béni et exalté, en mentant. Et moi je vous ordonne de ne pas jurer par Dieu, ni en mentant, ni en disant la vérité." Ils ont dit : "Ô Esprit de Dieu, augmente-nous en connaissance." Il a dit : "Moïse, le prophète de Dieu, vous a ordonné de ne pas commettre l'adultère, et moi je vous ordonne de ne pas même penser à l'adultère, car celui qui parle de l'adultère à lui-même est comme celui qui allume un feu dans une maison pleine de fumée et corrompt les coins, même si la maison ne brûle pas."

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun al-Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ya’qub said to his son, ‘O son, do not commit fornication; even if a bird commits fornication it loses its feathers.’”

Ya'qoub a dit à son fils : "Ô mon fils, ne commets pas de fornication, car si les oiseaux commettaient des actes de fornication, leurs plumes se disperseraient."

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘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, “In fornication there are five disturbing issues: It destroys the beauty of the face, causes poverty, shortens one’s life, makes the Beneficent angry, and sends one to the hellfire to suffer therein forever.’”

Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit à propos de l'adultère : "Il comporte cinq conséquences : il fait disparaître la lumière du visage, engendre la pauvreté, diminue la durée de vie, provoque le mécontentement du Miséricordieux et mène à l'éternité en Enfer. Nous cherchons refuge en Allah contre le Feu."
