[6] يد، التوحيد الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى دَاوُدَ ع يَا دَاوُدُ تُرِيدُ وَ أُرِيدُ وَ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَا أُرِيدُ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمْتَ لِمَا أُرِيدُ أَعْطَيْتُكَ مَا تُرِيدُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تُسْلِمْ لِمَا أُرِيدُ أَتْعَبْتُكَ فِيمَا تُرِيدُ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَا أُرِيدُ.
(The book) ‘Al Tawheed’ – Al Qattan, from Ahmad Al Hamdany, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Fazzal, from his father, from Marwan Bin Muslim, from Al Sumali, from Ibn Tareyf, from Ibn Nubatah who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘Allah -azwj the Exalted Revealed to Dawood -as : “O Dawood -as ! You -as want and I -azwj Want, it cannot happen except what I -azwj Want.
So if you -as were to submit to what I -azwj Want, I -azwj shall Give you what you -as want, and if you -as do not submit to what I -azwj Want, I -saww shall Delay you -as regarding what you -as want, then it will not happen except what I -azwj Want!”’ [7] Introduction: We review some Ahadith here related to Piety – Taqwa. What is Piety (Taqwa)? وَ سُئِلَ الصَّادِقُ ع عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ أَنْ لَا يَفْقِدَكَ اللَّهُ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكَ وَ لَا يَرَاكَ حَيْثُ نَهَاكَ.
And Al-Sadiq -asws was asked about the interpretation of piety. He -asws said: ‘Do not let Allah -azwj Miss you where He -azwj has Commanded you, nor Let him See you where He -azwj has Prohibited you’’. [8] مِشْكَاةُ الْأَنْوَارِ، نَقْلًا مِنَ الْمَحَاسِنِ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع التَّقْوَى سِنْخُ الْإِيمَانِ (The book) ‘Mishakat Al Anwaar’ – Copied from Al Mahasin, ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘The piety is the root (origin) of Eman!
وَ قِيلَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع صِفْ لَنَا الدُّنْيَا And it was said to Amir Al-Momineen -asws , ‘Describe the world to us!’ فَقَالَ وَ مَا أَصِفُ لَكُمْ مِنْهَا لِحَلَالِهَا حِسَابٌ وَ لِحَرَامِهَا عَذَابٌ لَوْ رَأَيْتُمُ الْأَجَلَ وَ مَسِيرَهُ لَلُهِيتُمْ عَنِ الْأَمَلِ وَ غُرُورِهِ He -asws said: ‘And what shall I -asws described to you all? For its Permissible(s) there is Reckoning, and for it’s Prohibited there is Punishment.
If you could have seen the death and its travelling (coming), you would have been distracted away from the hopes and its deceptions’.
