Even if the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth all 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’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ بَيْنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ( عليه السلام ) يَعِظُ أَصْحَابَهُ إِذْ قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَشَقَّ قَمِيصَهُ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُوسَى قُلْ لَهُ لَا تَشُقَّ قَمِيصَكَ وَ لَكِنِ اشْرَحْ لِي عَنْ قَلْبِكَ Then said: ‘Once Musa -as 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’”.
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَرَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ( عليه السلام ) بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَانْصَرَفَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ عَلَى حَالِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) لَوْ كَانَتْ حَاجَتُكَ بِيَدِي لَقَضَيْتُهَا لَكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُوسَى لَوْ سَجَدَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ عُنُقُهُ مَا قَبِلْتُهُ حَتَّى يَتَحَوَّلَ عَمَّا أَكْرَهُ إِلَى مَا أُحِبُّ. Then said: ‘Musa -as Bin Imran -as passed by a man from his -as companion, and he was prostrating.
So after returning 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”.
