يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْآخِرَةِ لَا يَهْنَؤُهُمُ...
يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْآخِرَةِ لَا يَهْنَؤُهُمُ الطَّعَامُ مُنْذُ عَرَفُوا رَبَّهُمْ وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ مُنْذُ عَرَفُوا سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ يَبْكُونَ عَلَى خَطَايَاهُمْ يَتْعَبُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ لَا يُرِيحُونَهَا وَ إِنَّ رَاحَةَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِي الْمَوْتِ وَ الْآخِرَةُ مُسْتَرَاحُ الْعَابِدِينَ O Ahmad -saww !
People of the Hereafter, the food is not pleasurable to them since they have recognised their Lord -azwj , nor does any difficulty pre-occupy them since they recognised their evil deeds. They are crying upon their mistakes (sins), exhausting their souls and not resting them, and the comfort of the people of Paradise is in the death, and the Hereafter is a comfort of the worshippers.
مُونِسُهُمْ دُمُوعُهُمُ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ عَلَى خُدُودِهِمْ وَ جُلُوسُهُمْ مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ عَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَ عَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمْ وَ مُنَاجَاتُهُمْ مَعَ الْجَلِيلِ الَّذِي فَوْقَ عَرْشِهِ وَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي أَجْوَافِهِمْ قَدْ قَرِحَتْ يَقُولُونَ مَتَى نَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ دَارِ الْفَنَاءِ إِلَى دَارِ الْبَقَاءِ- Their consoler are their tears which flow upon their cheeks, and their sitting is with the Angels, the ones on their right and on their left, and their whispering with the Majestic Who is above His -azwj Throne, and people of the Hereafter, their hearts in their interior are rejoicing.
They are saying, ‘When will we be resting from the temporal house to the ever-lasting House?’ يَا أَحْمَدُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُ مَا لِلزَّاهِدِينَ عِنْدِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ O Ahmad!
Do you know what is for the ascetics in My -azwj Presence in the Hereafter?” قَالَ لَا يَا رَبِّ He -saww said: ‘No, O Lord -azwj !’ قَالَ يُبْعَثُ الْخَلْقُ وَ يُنَاقَشُونَ بِالْحِسَابِ وَ هُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ آمِنُونَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَا أُعْطِي لِلزَّاهِدِينَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ مَفَاتِيحَ الْجِنَانِ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى يَفْتَحُوا أَيَّ بَابٍ شَاءُوا وَ لَا أَحْجُبُ عَنْهُمْ وَجْهِي He -azwj Said: ‘The creatures will be Resurrected while they would be safe from that.
The least of what would be given to the ascetics in the Hereafter is that they would be given keys of the Gardens, all of them, until they can open whichever door they so desires to, and I -azwj will not Veil My -azwj Face.
