فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى فَمَا هَذَا الْبُرْنُسُ قَالَ أَخْتَطِفُ...

فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى فَمَا هَذَا الْبُرْنُسُ قَالَ أَخْتَطِفُ بِهِ قُلُوبَ بَنِي آدَمَ قَالَ مُوسَى فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِالذَّنْبِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَذْنَبَهُ ابْنُ آدَمَ اسْتَحْوَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَعْجَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ وَ اسْتَكْثَرَ عَمَلَهُ وَ صَغُرَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ ذَنْبُهُ Musa -as said to him -la : ‘What is this cap?’ He -la said, ‘I -la grab the hearts of the children of Adam -as with it’. He -as said: ‘Inform me with the sin which the son of Adam -as commits, you -la overwhelm upon him’.

He -la said, ‘When he is fascinated with himself and considers his deeds to be many and his sins become small in his eyes’. ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أُوصِيكَ بِثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ يَا مُوسَى لَا تَخْلُ بِامْرَأَةٍ وَ لَا تَخْلُ بِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَخْلُو رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ وَ لَا تَخْلُو بِهِ إِلَّا كُنْتُ صَاحِبَهُ دُونَ أَصْحَابِي Then he -la said, ‘I -la advise you -as with three characteristics, O Musa -as !

وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُعَاهِدَ اللَّهَ عَهْداً فَإِنَّهُ مَا عَاهَدَ اللَّهَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كُنْتُ صَاحِبَهُ دُونَ أَصْحَابِي حَتَّى أَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْوَفَاءِ بِهِ And beware if making a pact with Allah -azwj for no one will make a pact with Allah -azwj except I -la would be his companions besides my -la companions until I -la am a barrier between him and being loyal with it.

وَ إِذَا هَمَمْتَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَمْضِهَا فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا هَمَّ الْعَبْدُ بِصَدَقَةٍ كُنْتُ صَاحِبَهُ دُونَ أَصْحَابِي حَتَّى أَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهَا And whenever you -as think of giving charity, then implement it, for whenever the servant thinks of giving charity, I -la would be his companions besides my -la companions until I -la am a barrier between him and it’. ثُمَّ وَلَّى إِبْلِيسُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا وَيْلَهُ وَ يَا عَوْلَهُ عَلَّمْتُ مُوسَى مَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَنِي آدَمَ‏.
