اِنَّ الرَّجُلَ اِذا نَظَرَ اِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَنَظَرَتْ اِلَيْهِ...
اِنَّ الرَّجُلَ اِذا نَظَرَ اِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَنَظَرَتْ اِلَيْهِ؛ نَظَرَ اللَّهّ تَعَالى اِلَيْهِمَا نَظَرَ الرَّحْمَةِ. When a man casts a (kind) look at his wife, and the wife does the same, the Exalted God, casts a Merciful glance at them. اِذا مَاتَ الأنِسَانُ اِنْقَطَعَ عَمَلُهُ اِلاّ مِنْ ثَلاثٍ: صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يَنْتَفَعُ بِه؛ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ.
When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end save in three cases: continuous charity, beneficial knowledge and a pious child praying for him. اِذا شَهَرَ الْمُسْلِمُ عَلى أَخِيْهِ سِلاحَاً فَلا تَزَالُ مَلائِكَةُ اللَّهِ تَعَالى تَلْعَنُهُ حَتَّى يَشِيمَهُ عَنْهُ. When a Muslim draws his sword against his brother (in faith), angels curse him till he sheathes it. اِنَّ المُسْلِمَ اِذا عَادَ أَخَاهُ المُسْلِمَ لَمْ يَزَلْ في مَخْرَفَةِ الجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ.
When a Muslim pays a visit to his brother in faith, he is actually walking in Paradise until he returns. اِذا أَتَاكُمُ السَّائِلُ فَضَعُوا في يَدِهِ وَلَوْ ظِلْفَاً مُحْرَقَاً. When a needy man demands, put something in his hands, even if it is a burnt hoof. اِذا أَتَاكُمْ كَرِيْمُ قَوْمٍ فَأَكْرِمُوهُ. When a noble man of a people comes to you, treat him with respect. اِشْتَدِّي أَزمَةُ تَنْفَرِجِي. When a problem ascends to its peak, a solution will leak.
اِذا اسْتَشَاطَ السُّلطَانُ تَسَلَّطَ الشَّيْطَانُ When a ruler is filled with rage, Satan will dominate (him). العَالِمُ اِذا أَرَادَ بِعِلْمِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ تَعَالى هَابَهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَاِذا أَرَادَ أنْ يُكْثِرَ بِهِ الكُنُوزَ هَابَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. When a scholar wishes to please the Exalted God by his knowledge, everything will stand in reverence to him, and when he wishes to pile up wealth through his knowledge, he will be dreadful of all things.
اِذا مَاتَ الْعَبْدُ قَالَ النَّاسُ: مَا خَلَّفَ؛ وَقَالَتِ الْمَلآئِكَةُ: مَا قَدَّمَ. When a servant (of God) dies, people ask, "What did he put behind?" and angels ask, "What did he bring forth?" اِذا قَصَّرَ الْعَبْدُ في الْعَمَلِ ابْتَلاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالى بِالْهَمِّ. When a servant (of God) is negligent in carrying out his duties, God will afflict him with sorrow. اِذا زَنَا الْعَبْدُ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ الاِيْمَانُ فَكانَ عَلى رَأْسِهِ كَالظِلَّةِ؛ فَاِذا أَقْلَعَ رَجَعَ اِلَيْهِ.
When a servant of God commits adultery, faith leaves (his soul), stands as a shade above his head and returns (home) only when he abandons the action.
