فَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ عَمْرٌو فَمَا يَطْمَعَانِ فِي الْخَلَاصِ وَ مَعَهُمْ كُلُّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَنَا الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ أَعَانَ عَلَيْنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ يَدِهِ وَ مَالِهِ So, as for Muawiya and Amro (Bin Al-Aas) and what they don’t even hope anymore for the salvation, and with them is every hostile one who established enmity towards us -asws , and assisted against us -asws by his tongue, and his hand, and his wealth’.
قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَأَنْتَ تَسْمَعُ ذَا كُلَّهُ وَ لَا تُقْرَعُ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ بَكْرٍ إِنَّ قُلُوبَنَا غَيْرُ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ إِنَّا مُطِيعُونَ مُصَفَّوْنَ مُصْطَفَوْنَ نَرَى مَا لَا يَرَى النَّاسُ وَ نَسْمَعُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ النَّاسُ وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا وَ تَتَقَلَّبُ فِي فُرُشِنَا وَ تَشْهَدُ طَعَامَنَا وَ تَحْضُرُ مَوْتَانَا وَ تَأْتِينَا بِأَخْبَارِ مَا يَحْدُثُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ I said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws !
So you -asws heard that, all of it, and did not chide (tell off)?’ He -asws said: ‘O Ibn Bakeyr! Our -asws hearts are other than the hearts of the people. We -asws are obedient (to Allah -azwj , lined up in rows, Chosen.
We -asws see what the people cannot see, and we -asws hear what the people cannot hear, and that the Angels descend unto us -asws during our -asws travels, and they turn in our -asws beds, and attend our -asws meals, and are present at our -asws deaths, and they come to us -asws with news of what is to occur before it even happens.
وَ تُصَلِّي مَعَنَا وَ تَدْعُو لَنَا وَ تُلْقِي عَلَيْنَا أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَ تَتَقَلَّبُ عَلَى أَجْنِحَتِهَا صِبْيَانُنَا وَ تَمْنَعُ الدَّوَابَّ أَنْ تَصِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَ تَأْتِينَا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرَضِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَبَاتٍ فِي زَمَانِهِ وَ تَسْقِينَا مِنْ مَاءِ كُلِّ أَرْضٍ نَجِدُ ذَلِكَ فِي آنِيَتِنَا وَ مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَ لَا سَاعَةٍ وَ لَا وَقْتِ صَلَاةٍ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ تَتَهَيَّأُ لَهَا وَ مَا مِنْ لَيْلَةٍ تَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا وَ أَخْبَارُ كُلِّ أَرْضٍ عِنْدَنَا وَ مَا يَحْدُثُ فِيهَا وَ أَخْبَارُ الْجِنِّ وَ أَخْبَارُ أَهْلِ الْهَوَى مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ And they pray Salat with us -asws , and supplicate for us -asws , and cast their wings upon us -asws , and turn our -asws children upon their wings, and prevent the animals from arriving to us -asws , and come to us -asws from what is in the earth from every plant in its time, and quench us -asws from the water of every land.
