L'amour d'Ahl al-bayt est indispensable pour qu'Allah accepte toute action. 'Alayhim al-Salam

98. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Muhammad, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al-Munkary, from Hafs Bin Gayaas, who has said: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘If you have the ability to make yourselves unknown, you better do it. And it should not matter to you if the people do not praise you, and it should not matter to you either that you are condemned by the people whilst you are being Praised in the Presence of Allah (azwj). Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) used to say: ‘There is no good in the world except for one of the two men – a man who increases in it the good deeds every day and a man who corrects himself, ready to face death by the repentance. But, what is meant by the repentance? By Allah (azwj)! If he were to perform prostrations to the extent that his neck breaks off, Allah (azwj) will not Accept deeds from him except by our (asws) Wilayah, the People (asws) of the Household. Indeed, (Acceptance) is for the ones who recognise our (asws) rights and hope for Reward by us (asws), (they) are pleased with their strength of half a ‘Mudd’ (Unit of measurement) of food every day, not being able to cover their private parts (insufficient clothing), and no covering over their head (roof), but still they are very much fearful of Allah (azwj) and are pleased with the (little) share from the world. And that is how Allah (azwj) has Described them where He (azwj) has Said: “[23:60] And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear”. That’s what they come with? By Allah (azwj)! They come with obedience along with the love, and the Wilayah, and they are with regards to that, (but they are still) fearful that it may not be Accepted from them. By Allah (azwj), they are not fearful with the fear of doubt with regards to what they are in from the difficulties of Religion, but they are fearful that they might have been deficient (Muqassir) in our (asws) love and being (less) obedient to us (asws)’. Then said: ‘If you could afford not to go out of your houses, then do so, as when you go out then it becomes obligatory on you that you would not backbite, and not lie, and not be envious, and not show-off, and not pretend, and not flatter’. Then said: ‘Yes, a silo for the Muslim is his house in which he restrains his vision, and his tongue, and his self, and his genitals. The one, who recognises the Favours of Allah (azwj) by his heart, obligates more for himself from Allah (azwj), before he even expresses his appreciation for it upon his tongue, and the one who goes around considering himself to be better than others, so he is from the arrogant ones’. So I said to him (asws), ‘But what if he sees himself as better due to the (spiritual) health when he sees the one who is indulging in the sins?’ He (asws) said: ‘Far be it! Far be it! It may be that he has been Forgiven for his sins whilst you have been Paused for the Accounting. Have you not recited the story of the magicians (at the time) of Musa (as)?’ Then said: ‘How many are proud with what Allah (azwj) has Favoured them with, and how many have been enticed by the Veil of Allah (azwj) upon them, and how many have been infatuated by the praises of the people upon him’. Then said: ‘I (asws) hope for the salvation for the ones who recognise our (asws) rights, from this community except for one of the three – an unjust ruler, a follower of desires, an openly immoral one’. Then he (asws) recited: “[3:31] Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you”, then said: ‘O Hafs, the love is higher than the fear’. Then said: ‘By Allah (azwj), Allah (azwj) does not Love the one who loves the world, and takes as a friend other than us (asws), whilst the one who recognises our (asws) rights and loves us (asws), so he has loved Allah (azwj)’. A man wept, so he (asws) said: ‘Are you crying? Even if the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, all of them get together crying to Allah (azwj) to be Rescued from the Fire and to be entered into the Paradise, they would not be able to intercede for you. Then if you had for yourself a living heart you would be the most fearful of the people to Allah (azwj) in that condition’. Then said to him: ‘O Hafs, be a follower and not a leader. O Hafs, the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said: ‘The one who fears Allah (azwj), would be of little speech’. Then said: ‘Once Musa Bin Imran (as) was advising his (as) companions, when a man stood up, and tore his shirt. So Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him (as): “O Musa (as)! Say to him, ‘Do not tear your shirt, but open for Me (azwj) your heart’”. Then said: ‘Musa (as) Bin Imran (as) passed by a man from his (as) companion, and he was prostrating. So after return back from what he (as) had to do, (Musa (as)) saw him still in prostration. So Musa (as) said to him: ‘If (the fulfilment) of your need was in my (as) hands, I (asws) would have fulfilled it for you’. So Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him (as); “O Musa (as)! Even if he were to prostrate until his neck breaks, I (azwj) will not Accept it until he turns away from what I (azwj) Abhor and towards what I (azwj) Love”.’

Il a dit : "Si vous pouvez agir sans être reconnus, alors faites-le. Il n'y a pas de mal si les gens ne vous louent pas, tant que vous êtes loués par Allah, le Très-Haut. Certes, l'Imam des croyants (que la paix soit sur lui) disait : Il n'y a pas de bien dans ce monde pour deux types de personnes : celui qui augmente chaque jour en bienfaisance et celui qui rattrape sa mort par le repentir. Par Allah, même s'il se prosternait jusqu'à ce que son cou se brise, Allah n'accepterait pas de lui d'acte sauf par notre wilaya, nous, Ahl al-Bayt. Et quiconque reconnaît notre droit, espère notre récompense, est satisfait de notre suffisance, la moitié de sa journée est comme un demi-jeûne, couvrant ses défauts, protégeant sa tête, tout en étant dans la crainte et la vénération d'Allah, désirant que sa part soit du monde. Ainsi les a décrit Allah, disant : "Et ceux qui donnent ce qu'ils donnent, tout en ayant dans leur cœur une crainte, à quel point ont-ils donné ? Ils ont donné par obéissance, amour et wilaya, et ils craignent que cela ne soit pas accepté d'eux. Par Allah, leur crainte n'est pas la crainte du doute concernant leur religion, mais ils craignent d'être négligents dans notre amour et notre obéissance." Puis il a dit : "Si vous pouvez rester chez vous, alors faites-le. Lorsque vous sortez, veillez à ne pas médire, mentir, envier, montrer de faux semblants, être hypocrite ou flatter. Oui, le jeûne du musulman est de rester chez lui, où il protège sa vue, sa langue, son âme et sa chasteté. Celui qui reconnaît la grâce d'Allah dans son cœur attire davantage la grâce d'Allah avant même de l'exprimer par sa langue. Et celui qui pense avoir un mérite sur autrui est parmi les orgueilleux." J'ai dit : "Il pense avoir un mérite envers lui en lui pardonnant lorsqu'il commet des péchés." Il a répondu : "Loin de là, loin de là. Peut-être qu'il a été pardonné pour ce qu'il a fait, alors que tu seras arrêté et jugé. As-tu lu l'histoire des sorciers de Moïse (que la paix soit sur lui) ?" Puis il a dit : "Combien de gens sont trompés par les bienfaits qu'Allah leur a accordés, combien sont attirés par la protection qu'Allah leur accorde, combien sont tentés par les éloges des gens. Je souhaite le salut pour quiconque reconnaît notre droit dans cette communauté, sauf pour trois types de personnes : un dirigeant injuste, un suiveur de ses désirs, et un pécheur notoire." Ensuite, il a récité : "Dis : Si vous aimez vraiment Allah, suivez-moi, Allah vous aimera." Puis il a dit : "Ô Hafs, l'amour est meilleur que la peur." Et il a ajouté : "Par Allah, Allah n'aime pas celui qui aime ce monde et se tourne vers autre que nous. Celui qui reconnaît notre droit et nous aime, alors Allah l'aime. Un homme pleura, et il lui dit : "Tu pleures ? Si tous les habitants des cieux et de la terre se réunissaient pour t'implorer d'être sauvé du feu et entrer au Paradis, ils ne pourraient intercéder en ta faveur." Puis il lui dit : "Aie un cœur vivant, tu seras le plus craintif des gens envers Allah dans cet
