يَا سَلْمَانُ وَ يَا جُنْدَبُ قَالا لَبَّيْكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ O Salman -ra and O Jundab -ra !’ They -ra said, ‘At your -asws service, may the Salawat of Allah -azwj be upon you -asws ’.
He -asws said: ‘I -asws am Emir of every male and female believer, from the ones past and from the ones remaining, and I -asws am supported by the magnificent Spirit, and rather I -asws am a servant from the servants of Allah -azwj . Do not name us as lords and say regarding our -asws merits whatever your hearts, desire (for) you will never be reaching from our -asws merits, its essence, what Allah -azwj has Made it to be for us -asws , not (even) a tenth of the tenth.
لِأَنَّا آيَاتُ اللَّهِ وَ دَلَائِلُهُ وَ حُجَجُ اللَّهِ وَ خُلَفَاؤُهُ وَ أُمَنَاؤُهُ وَ أَئِمَّتُهُ وَ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ وَ عَيْنُ اللَّهِ وَ لِسَانُ اللَّهِ بِنَا يُعَذِّبُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ وَ بِنَا يُثِيبُ وَ مِنْ بَيْنِ خَلْقِهِ طَهَّرَنَا وَ اخْتَارَنَا وَ اصْطَفَانَا (This is) because we -asws are Signs of Allah -azwj and His -azwj Evidence, and Divine Authorities of Allah -azwj , and His -azwj Caliphs, and His -azwj Trustees, and His -azwj Imams -asws , and Face of Allah -azwj , and Eye of Allah -azwj , and Tongue of Allah -azwj .
By us -asws Allah -azwj will Punish His -azwj servants and by us -asws He -azwj will Reward (them); and from between His -azwj creatures, He -azwj Cleansed us -asws , and Chose us -asws , and Selected us -asws . وَ لَوْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ لِمَ وَ كَيْفَ وَ فِيمَ لَكَفَرَ وَ أَشْرَكَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَ هُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ.
And if a speaker were to say, ‘Why, and how, and regarding what?’ He would blaspheme (commit Kufr) and associate (commit Shirk), because He -azwj cannot be questioned about what He -azwj Does but they will be Questioned.
