وَ قَوْلُهُ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ فَمَنْ أَقَامَ وَلَايَتِي فَقَدْ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ إِقَامَةُ وَلَايَتِي صَعْبٌ مُسْتَصْعَبٌ لَا يَحْتَمِلُهُ إِلَّا مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ أَوْ نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ أَوْ عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ فَالْمَلَكُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مُقَرَّباً لَمْ يَحْتَمِلْهُ وَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مُرْسَلًا لَمْ يَحْتَمِلْهُ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مُمْتَحَناً لَمْ يَحْتَمِلْهُ And His -azwj Words: they should be establishing the Salat , so the one who establishes my -asws Wilayah, so he has established the Salat, and establishing my -asws Wilayah is difficult, becomes more difficult, none can tolerate it except an Angel of Proximity, or a Messenger Prophet -as , or a Momin servant whose heart Allah -azwj has Tested for the Eman.
Thus, the Angel who does not happen to be of Proximity, would not tolerate it, and the Prophet -as when he -as is not a Messenger -as would not tolerate it, and the Momin when he does not happen to be Tested, would not tolerate it’. قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنِ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ مَا نِهَايَتُهُ وَ مَا حَدُّهُ حَتَّى أَعْرِفَهُ I -ra said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen -asws !
who is the Momin, and what is his peak, and what is his limit, until I -ra recognise him?’ قَالَ ع يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا أَخَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ He -asws said: ‘O Abu Abdullah -ra !’ I -ra said, ‘At your -asws service, O brother -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww !’ قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُمْتَحَنُ هُوَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا شُرِحَ صَدْرُهُ لِقَبُولِهِ وَ لَمْ يَشُكَّ وَ لَمْ يَرْتَبْ He -asws said: ‘The Tested Momin, he is the one who, nothing from our -asws instructions are referred to him except he expands his chest for accepting it, and does not doubt and is not suspicious.
اعْلَمْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ خَلِيفَتُهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ لَا تَجْعَلُونَا أَرْبَاباً وَ قُولُوا فِي فَضْلِنَا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَبْلُغُونَ كُنْهَ مَا فِينَا وَ لَا نِهَايَتَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ أَعْطَانَا أَكْبَرَ وَ أَعْظَمَ مِمَّا يَصِفُهُ وَ أَصِفُكُمْ أَوْ يَخْطُرُ عَلَى قَلْبِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَإِذَا عَرَفْتُمُونَا هَكَذَا فَأَنْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ O Abu Zarr -ra !
I -asws am a servant of the Mighty and Majestic and His -azwj Caliph upon His -azwj servants.
