Acquérir des biens de manière illicite

3. A number of our people have narrated from has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If a person earns in unlawful ways, then uses such income for the expenses of al-Hajj and says al-Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command) it is called about him, “You are not welcome and there is no salvation for you.” If it (earning) is through lawful ways upon his saying Talbiyah it is called about him, “You are welcome and there is salvation for you.’””

Lorsqu'un homme acquiert de l'argent de manière illicite, puis effectue le pèlerinage et répond à l'appel en disant "Labbaik Allahumma labbaik" (Me voici ô Allah, me voici), il lui est annoncé : "Ni ton Labbaik, ni tes efforts ne sont acceptés". Mais s'il l'a acquis de manière licite, et qu'il répond à l'appel en disant "Labbaik Allahumma labbaik", il lui est alors annoncé : "Je réponds à Ton appel, ô Allah, je réponds à Ton appel".

4. Ahmad has narrated from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The effects of unlawful earning shows up in one’s offspring.’”

"Le gain illicite se manifeste dans la descendance."

5. 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 once a man came to ’Amir al-Mu’minin saying, ‘In my earnings I have been neglectful about lawful and unlawful matters, and I want to repent, but I do not know which item in my possession is lawful and which is not.’ ‘Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al- Salam, said, ‘Give one-fifth of your assets in charity. Allah, most Glorious is whose name, accepts one-fifth of things. The rest of your assets are lawful for you.’”

Un homme est venu voir l'Imam Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) et lui a dit : "J'ai acquis de l'argent sans savoir s'il était licite ou illicite, et j'ai l'intention de me repentir, mais je ne sais pas ce qui est licite ou illicite parmi cet argent, car tout s'est mélangé pour moi." L'Imam Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) lui a répondu : "Donne le cinquième de ta richesse en aumône, car Allah, Gloire à Son Nom, agrée les choses à travers le cinquième, et le reste de ta richesse sera licite pour toi."

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy from a man whom he has mentioned from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Qasim al-Ja’fariy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The world tried to attract a people with purely lawful matters but they passed (without paying any attention) away. Then it tried to attract another people with lawful and doubtful matters and they said, “We do not need any doubtful matters.” However, they expanded the lawful matters. It then tried to attract another people with unlawful and doubtful matters. They said, “We do not need unlawful matters.” However, they expanded the doubtful matters. It then tried to attract another people with unlawful matters only, and they seek to achieve it but they cannot find. The believing people in this world eat like one living through emergencies.’”

قَالَ تَشَوَّفَتِ الدُّنْيَا لِقَوْمٍ حَلالا مَحْضاً فَلَمْ يُرِيدُوهَا فَدَرَجُوا ثُمَّ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِقَوْمٍ حَلالا وَشُبْهَةً فَقَالُوا لا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي الشُّبْهَة وَتَوَسَّعُوا مِنَ الْحَلالِ ثُمَّ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِقَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ حَرَاماً وَشُبْهَةً فَقَالُوا لا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي الْحَرَامِ وَتَوَسَّعُوا فِي الشُّبْهَة ثُمَّ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِقَوْمٍ حَرَاماً مَحْضاً فَيَطْلُبُونَهَا فَلا يَجِدُونَهَا وَالْمُؤْمِنُ فِي الدُّنْيَا يَأْكُلُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّ.

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Dawud al-Sarmiy who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to me, £ 0 Dawud, unlawful earnings do not grow. Even if anything grows, it does not have any blessings for him: what he spends does not bring any reward for him and what he leaves behind becomes his supplies to the fire/”

قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّ الْحَرَامَ لا يَنْمِي وَإِنْ نَمَى لا يُبَارَكُ لَهُ فِيهِ وَمَا أَنْفَقَهُ لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا خَلَّفَهُ كَانَ زَادَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has said the following: “Once Muhammad ibn al-Hassan wrote to abu Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and asked about the case of a man who buys goods or a slave-girl in exchange for a certain amount of assets from one who plunders people on the road or from a thief; if it is lawful for him to use the benefits, or fruits thereof or marry the slave-girl which he has bought from a thief or road plunderer. He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ’Nothing is good in whatever originates from an unlawful source; and using such matters is not lawful.’”

Il (que la paix soit sur lui) a répondu: "Il n'y a aucun bien dans quoi que ce soit dont la base est illicite, et il n'est pas permis de l'utiliser."

9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who had found a certain amount of property from banu ’Umayyah. He gives charity thereof, helps his relatives, performs al-Hajj therewith, so that Allah may forgive what he has earned and says, ’Good deeds remove bad deeds.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ’Sins do not expiate sins. Only good deeds remove sins.’ He (the Imam) then said, ’If he has mixed lawful with unlawful and is not able to distinguish, then it is not harmful.’”

Le péché n'efface pas le péché, mais la bonne action efface le péché. Si quelqu'un mélange le licite avec l'illicite, et qu'ils se mélangent tous les deux, il ne saura plus distinguer le licite de l'illicite, et cela ne pose aucun problème.

10. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from ibn abu ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “About the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘We arrived upon what they had done and turned it into scattered dust’, (25:25) abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ’Even if their deeds are whiter than Coptic fabrics Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “Become dust.” It is because when they come upon unlawful matters they take it.’”

dans sa parole : "Et Nous parviendrons à ce qu'ils ont accompli comme œuvre, Nous la réduirons en poussière éparpillée." Alors Allah, le Très Haut, dira : "Si leurs actions étaient plus blanches que les flocons de neige, Je les réduirais en poussière." C'est parce qu'ils prenaient ce qui leur était interdit quand cela leur était permis.
