إِذَا كُتِبَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ كُتِبُوا مِنَ الذَّاكِرِينَ فِي أَوَّلِ النِّعْمَةِ يَحْمَدُونَ وَ فِي آخِرِهَا يَشْكُرُونَ دُعَاؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَرْفُوعٌ وَ كَلَامُهُمْ مَسْمُوعٌ تَفْرَحُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِهِمْ يَدُورُ دُعَاؤُهُمْ تَحْتَ الْحُجُبِ When the people are being written as being from the heedless ones, they are being written as being from the ones doing Zikr. They are praising (Allah -azwj ) in the beginning of the bounties, and there are thanking in the end of it.
Their supplications are being raised in the Presence of Allah -azwj and their speeches are being heard. The Angels rejoice with them, circulating their supplications beneath the veils.
يُحِبُّ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَهُمْ كَمَا تُحِبُّ الْوَالِدَةُ وَلَدَهَا وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُمْ عَنِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ كَثْرَةَ الطَّعَامِ وَ لَا كَثْرَةَ الْكَلَامِ وَ لَا كَثْرَةَ اللِّبَاسِ النَّاسُ عِنْدَهُمْ مَوْتَى وَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُمْ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ كَرِيمٌ The Lord -azwj Loves to Hear their speech just as the mother loves her children, and nothing pre-occupies them away from Allah -azwj even for the blink of an eye, nor are they wanting a lot of food, nor a lot of talk, nor a lot of clothes.
The people are dead in their view while Allah ‑azwj is Living in their view, Eternal, Benevolent. يَدْعُونَ الْمُدْبِرِينَ كَرَماً وَ يُرِيدُونَ الْمُقْبِلِينَ تَلَطُّفاً قَدْ صَارَتِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةُ عِنْدَهُمْ وَاحِدَةً يَمُوتُ النَّاسُ مَرَّةً وَ يَمُوتُ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً مِنْ مُجَاهَدَةِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ مُخَالَفَةِ هَوَاهُمْ The ones turning away, they call them honourably, and they are wanting the ones coming to them gently.
The world and the Hereafter have become one in their view. The people are dying once, while one of them is dying seventy times a day from fighting against their own selves and opposing their own whims.
وَ الشَّيْطَانُ الَّذِي يَجْرِي فِي عُرُوقِهِمْ وَ لَوْ تَحَرَّكَتْ رِيحٌ لَزَعْزَعَتْهُمْ وَ إِنْ قَامُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيَ كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ- لَا أَرَى فِي قَلْبِهِمْ شُغُلًا لِمَخْلُوقٍ And the Satan -la is the one who flows in their veins, and if the wind were to blow, it would shake them, and if they were to stand in front, it is as if they are a solid structure. I -azwj do not See in their hearts any pre-occupation for a created being.
