(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – From his father, from Sa’ad, from Salama Bin Al Khattab, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Muwaddib, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Khalid Al Qalanasy, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Allah -azwj is too Embarrassed from sons (men) of eighty (years old) from Punishing them’’.
[24] – وَ قَالَ ع يُؤْتَى بِشَيْخٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ كِتَابُهُ ظَاهِرُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي النَّاسَ لَا يَرَى إِلَّا مَسَاوِيَ فَيَطُولُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَ تَأْمُرُ بِي إِلَى النَّارِ And he -asws said: ‘They will bring an old man on the Day of Qiyamah and his book (register of deeds) will be handed to him, it’s apparent from what follows the people. He will not see except the equivalence (of good and evil deeds). So that would be prolonged upon him.
He will say, ‘O Lord -azwj ! Are You -azwj Commanding with me to go to the Fire?’ فَيَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ يَا شَيْخُ إِنِّي أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أُعَذِّبَكَ وَ قَدْ كُنْتَ تُصَلِّي لِي فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا اذْهَبُوا بِعَبْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ. The Subduer, Majestic is His -azwj Majesty will Say: “O sheykh! I -azwj am too Embarrassed from Punishing you, and you had been praying to Me -azwj in house of the world.
Go with My -azwj servant to the Paradise!”’ [25] 12- جع، جامع الأخبار قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ الشَّيْخِ الْمُؤْمِنِ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً فَيَقُولُ يَا عَبْدِي كَبِرَ سِنُّكَ وَ دَقَّ عَظْمُكَ وَ رَقَّ جِلْدُكَ وَ قَرُبَ أَجَلُكَ وَ حَانَ قُدُومُكَ عَلَيَّ فَاسْتَحِ مِنِّي فَأَنَا أَسْتَحِي مِنْ شَيْبَتِكَ أَنْ أُعَذِّبَكَ بِالنَّارِ.
(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ – ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Allah -azwj the Exalted Looks into the face of a Momin old man, morning, and evening. He -azwj Says: “O My -azwj servant!
Your age is old, and your bones a brittle, and your skin is thing, and your term (death) is near, and your proceeding to Me -azwj is imminent, therefore be embarrassed from Me -azwj , for I -azwj am Embarrassed from your grey hair to Punish you with the Fire!”’ [26] – وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ الشَّيْبَةُ نُورِي فَلَا أُحْرِقُ نُورِي بِنَارِي.
