[22] – وَ قَالَ ص إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ عَبْداً فِي دَارِ...
[22] – وَ قَالَ ص إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ عَبْداً فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا يُرْجِعُهُ And he -saww said: ‘When Allah -azwj Loves a servant in the house of the world, Returns him’. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ كَيْفَ يُرْجِعُهُ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! And how does He -azwj Return him?’ قَالَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الطَّعَامِ الرَّخِيصِ وَ الْخَيْرِ الْكَثِيرِ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ لَا يَجِدُ الطَّعَامَ مَا يَمْلَأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ He -saww said: ‘In the place of food, the cheap and much goodness.
A friend of Allah -azwj will not find food what he can fill his belly with’’ [23] – وَ قَالَ ص أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ مُفَتَّحَةٌ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ نَازِلَةٌ عَلَى الرُّحَمَاءِ وَ اللَّهُ رَاضٍ عَنِ الْأَسْخِيَاءِ And he -saww said: ‘The doors of Paradise are open to the poor and the Mercy descends upon the Mercy, and Allah -azwj is Satisfied from the generous ones’’.
[24] Love for Masomeen -asws for Allah -azwj and not for the World: Our love for Ahl Al-Bayt -asws has to be for the sake of Allah -azwj , as Allah -azwj has Created all Creation in their -asws love [25] , so there is no room to make their -asws Zikr as a profession, or a source of earning, e.g., ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي أَبُو عَمْرٍو عَنِ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا لِلَّهِ وَرَدْنَا نَحْنُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا ص هَكَذَا وَ ضَمَّ إِصْبَعَيْهِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا لِلدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَتَسَعُ الْبَرَّ وَ الْفَاجِرَ (The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Abu Amro, from Ibn Uqda, from Al Hassan Bin Utba, from Bakkar Bin Bashir, from Hamza Al Zayyat, from Abdullah Bin Shareek, from Bishr Bin Ghalib, from; Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws says: ‘One who loves us -asws for Allah -azwj , we -asws and him would arrive at our Prophet -saww like this!’ – and he- asws pressed his fingers; ‘And one who loves us -asws for the world, then the world is (sufficiently) vast for the righteous and the immoral ones’.
