What were the Parchments of Ibrahim -as ?’ قَالَ كَانَتْ أَمْثَالًا كُلُّهَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ الْمُبْتَلَى الْمَغْرُورُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْعَثْكَ لِتَجْمَعَ الدُّنْيَا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَ لَكِنِّي بَعَثْتُكَ لِتَرُدَّ عَنِّي دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَرُدُّهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مِنْ كَافِرٍ He -saww said: ‘These were proverbs, all of them! O you king, the afflicted, the arrogant! I -azwj did not Send you to amass the world, part of it upon part.

وَ عَلَى الْعَاقِلِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَغْلُوباً عَلَى عَقْلِهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ سَاعَاتٌ سَاعَةٌ يُنَاجِي فِيهَا رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَاعَةٌ يُحَاسِبُ فِيهَا نَفْسَهُ وَ سَاعَةٌ يَتَفَكَّرُ فِيمَا صَنَعَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ سَاعَةٌ يَخْلُو فِيهَا بِحَظِّ نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْحَلَالِ وَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ عَوْنٌ لِتِلْكَ السَّاعَاتِ وَ اسْتِجْمَامٌ لِلْقُلُوبِ‏ وَ تَفْرِيغٌ لَهَا And upon the intellectual, one who has not been overcome upon his intellect, that there should be a timing for me he whispers (Munajaat) to his Lord -azwj Mighty and Majestic during it, and a timing he reckons his own self during it, and a timing he contemplates regarding what Allah -azwj the Exalted has Made, and a timing he shares himself from the Permissible, and this timing is an assistant upon those timings, and resting for the hearts and being free for it!
