They have become ignorant and forgotten all the Advice in the Book of Allah -azwj and feel safe from all the evil consequences of the bad deeds and do not fear the descent into the grave and the events that are to occur…(Extract).
[3] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَكُونُونَ صَالِحِينَ حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا وَ لَا تَعْرِفُوا حَتَّى تُصَدِّقُوا وَ لَا تُصَدِّقُوا حَتَّى تُسَلِّمُوا أَبْوَاباً أَرْبَعَةً لَا يَصْلُحُ أَوَّلُهَا إِلَّا بِآخِرِهَا ضَلَّ أَصْحَابُ الثَّلَاثَةِ وَ تَاهُوا تَيْهاً بَعِيداً A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from the one who mentioned it, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Layli, from his father, from Abu Abdullah -asws has said: ‘You all will not be becoming righteous until you are recognising, nor will you be recognising until you are ratifying, nor will you be ratifying until you are submitting to four doors, the first not being correct except with its last one.
They strayed, the companions of the three, wandering with a far wandering. إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَا يَقْبَلُ إِلَّا الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ وَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا الْوَفَاءَ بِالشُّرُوطِ وَ الْعُهُودِ فَمَنْ وَفَى لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِشَرْطِهِ وَ اسْتَعْمَلَ مَا وَصَفَ فِي عَهْدِهِ نَالَ مَا عِنْدَهُ وَ اسْتَكْمَلَ مَا وَعَدَهُ Allah -azwj Blessed and High does not Accept except for the righteous deeds nor does Allah -azwj Accept except for the loyalty with the stipulation and the Covenants.
So the one who is loyal to Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic with His -azwj Stipulation and works upon what is described in his Covenant, would attain what is in His -azwj Presence, and He -azwj would Complete whatever He -azwj Promised him.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَخْبَرَ الْعِبَادَ بِطُرُقِ الْهُدَى وَ شَرَعَ لَهُمْ فِيهَا الْمَنَارَ وَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ كَيْفَ يَسْلُكُونَ فَقَالَ وَ إِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تابَ وَ آمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ صالِحاً ثُمَّ اهْتَدى Allah -azwj Blessed and High Informed the servant with the ways of the Guidance and Legislated for them the beacons in these, and Informed them how they should be travelling, so He -azwj Said [20:82] And I am Forgiving to him who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then follows the right Guidance ’.
