وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ إِذَا...

وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ قَوْماً أَوْ أَحَبَّ عَبْداً صَبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْبَلَاءَ صَبّاً فَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ غَمٍّ إِلَّا وَقَعَ فِي غَمٍّ And had it not been that it would not have come in the Hadeeth: ‘When Allah -saww Loves a people, or Loves a servant, Pours the afflictions upon him, so he does not come out from any sorrow except he falls into (another) sorrow’.

وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ مَا مِنْ جُرْعَتَيْنِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَجْرَعَهُمَا عَبْدُهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ جُرْعَةِ غَيْظٍ كَظَمَ عَلَيْهَا وَ جُرْعَةِ حُزْنٍ عِنْدَ مُصِيبَةٍ صَبَرَ عَلَيْهَا بِحُسْنِ عَزَاءٍ وَ احْتِسَابٍ And had it not been that it would not have come in the Hadeeth: ‘There is none from two swallowing’s more Beloved to Allah -saww Mighty and Majestic the swallowing by His -saww Momin servant in the word, than the swallowing of an anger upon him, and swallowing of grief during a calamity, being patient upon it with goodly consolation, and anticipation.

وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمَا كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَدْعُونَ عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَهُمْ بِطُولِ الْعُمُرِ وَ صِحَّةِ الْبَدَنِ وَ كَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ And had it not been that the companions of Rasool-Allah -saww would not have supplicated upon the one oppressing them with prolongation of life, and health of the body, and abundance of wealth and the children.

وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ مَا بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ إِذَا خَصَّ رَجُلًا بِالتَّرَحُّمِ عَلَيْهِ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ اسْتُشْهِدَ And had it not been that it would not have reached us that whenever Rasool-Allah -saww specialised a man with the mercy and seeking the Forgiveness, he -saww kept witnesses.

فَعَلَيْكُمْ يَا عَمِّ وَ ابْنَ عَمِّ وَ بَنِي عُمُومَتِي وَ إِخْوَتِي بِالصَّبْرِ وَ الرِّضَا وَ التَّسْلِيمِ وَ التَّفْوِيضِ إِلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ الرِّضَا بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَى قَضَائِهِ وَ التَّمَسُّكِ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ النُّزُولِ عِنْدَ أَمْرِهِ So upon you all, O uncle, and nephew, and sons of my uncles, and my brothers, is to be with the patience, and the contentment, and the submission, and the delegating to Allah -saww Majestic and Mighty, and the pleasure with the patience upon His -saww Decree, and adhered with His -saww obedience, and the stepping down at His -saww Command.
