هَلْ أَدَّيْتُمْ فَرَائِضِي كَما أمرْتُكُمْ وَهَلْ...

هَلْ أَدَّيْتُمْ فَرَائِضِي كَما أمرْتُكُمْ وَهَلْ وَاسيْتُمُ الْمَسَاكِينَ بِأَمْوالِكُمْ وَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَ هَلْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ إِلَى مَنْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ هَلْ عَفَوْتُمْ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكُمْ وَ هَلْ وَصَلْتُمْ مَنْ قَطَعَكُمْ وَهلْ أَنْصَفْتُمْ مَنْ خَانَكُمْ وَهَلْ كَلَّمْتُمْ مَنْ هَاجَرَكُمْ وَ هَلْ أَدَّبْتُمْ أَوْلاَدَكُمْ وَ هَلْ سَألْتُمُ العْلَمَاءَ مِنْ أَمْرِ دِيْنِكُمْ وَ دُنْيَاكُمْ؛ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَنْظُرُ إلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَ لاَ إِلَى مَحاسِنِكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ أَنْظُرُ إلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَ أرْضَى مِنْكُمْ بِهذِهِ الْخِصَال.

Chapter 20 Almighty Allah says: O, Son of Adam! death will reveal your character. The Day of Judgement is going to be a test of your deeds. Your book of deeds will reveal your character. When you commit a minor sin, don't think of it as little but think towards whom you committed the sin. If you get little sustenance, don't think of it as little, but think from whom you are getting it. O, Son of Adam!

don't become peaceful of My deceptions because My deceptions are concealed like the movement of an ant on a stone in utter darkness. O, Son of Adam! have you ever completed the commands which I have commanded you? Have you ever been nicer to the poor than you are to yourself by giving you wealth to them? Have you ever been good towards the people who have been bad to you? Did you forgive those who were unjust to you? Have you been kind to relatives who have broken off their ties with you?

Have you ever been just towards those who are treacherous towards you? Did you talk to those who have left you? Did you teach your children good manners? Did you ask learned ones (Ulamas) about your world and your Hereafter? Indeed, I will look at your beautiful faces and good appearance, but I will see your hearts and deeds, and will be pleased because of these characterise. الحديث الحادي والعشرون‏ يَابْنَ آدَمَ!
