[3] عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عِيسَى النَّهْرِيرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ عَرَفَ اللَّهَ وَ عَظَّمَهُ مَنَعَ فَاهُ مِنَ الْكَلَامِ وَ بَطْنَهُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ عَفَا نَفْسَهُ بِالصِّيَامِ وَ الْقِيَامِ From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Isa Al Hureyri, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘The one who recognises Allah -azwj and His -azwj Magnificence would prevent his mouth from the speech, and his belly from the food, and excuses himself with the Fasting and the standing (for Salāt )’.
قَالُوا بِآبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلَاءِ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ سَكَتُوا فَكَانَ سُكُوتُهُمْ ذِكْراً وَ نَظَرُوا فَكَانَ نَظَرُهُمْ عِبْرَةً وَ نَطَقُوا فَكَانَ نُطْقُهُمْ حِكْمَةً وَ مَشَوْا فَكَانَ مَشْيُهُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بَرَكَةً لَوْ لَا الْآجَالُ الَّتِي قَدْ كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمْ تَقِرَّ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ فِي أَجْسَادِهِمْ خَوْفاً مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَ شَوْقاً إِلَى الثَّوَابِ They said, ‘By our fathers and our mothers, O Rasool-Allah -saww !
Are they the close friends of Allah -azwj ?’ Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘The close friends of Allah -azwj observed silence, so their silence was a Remembrance (of Allah -azwj ); and they looked around, so their looking around was a lesson; and they spoke, so their speaking was wisdom; and they walked, so their walking between the people was a Blessing.
Had it not been for the term which had been Ordained upon them, their spirits would not have stayed in their bodies out of fear from the Punishment and desire to the Rewards’.
[4] عن بريد العجلي عن أبي جعفر ع قال وجدنا في كتاب علي بن الحسين ع «أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِياءَ اللَّهِ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ» قال: إذا أدوا فرائض الله، و أخذوا بسنن رسول الله ص و تورعوا عن محارم الله، و زهدوا في عاجل زهرة الدنيا، و رغبوا فيما عند الله- و اكتسبوا الطيب من رزق الله، لا يريدون به التفاخر و التكاثر ثم أنفقوا فيما يلزمهم من حقوق واجبة، فأولئك الذين بارك الله لهم فيما اكتسبوا و يثابون على ما قدموا لآخرتهم From Bureyd Al-Ijaly, it is narrated: Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘We -asws found in the Book of Ali Bin Al-Husayn -asws ‘ [10:62] Indeed, (as for) the friends of Allah – they shall have no fear nor shall they be grieving ’.
