Page 64 - from Volume Four (Display Image)Except for his master. That is why al-Tirmidhi is called the Truthful, Glory be to Him, the king of kingship other than his master. What a slave possesses, for the slave in every case intends his master, so he continues to spend his master according to his conditions in all his affairs, and the king has no meaning except to dispose by force and severity. The face and the conditions of the servant are divided into two parts, subjective and accidental, and in each case he disposes of his master, and all are servants of God . With an artificial and not competent slave, if none of the servants of God is worshiped, he is a pure slave of God, so he disposes of his master in all his circumstances, then the right in the matter of this slave is always creative according to his transitions in the circumstances He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: The servant of the people is their master Because he is in charge of their affairs because they are incapable of doing what their conditions require. So whoever knows the form of conjugation knows the rank of the master from the rank of the servant, so the servant is characterized by complying with the order of his master and the master to perform the necessities of his servant. The other slave disposes of his master in his behavior, so he knows that he is like him as a servant of God, and if he is a servant of God, it is not right for this servant to worship him, then there is no slave s possession except with a veil. From al-Mabasata, he said, Yes. One day he kept me in my secret in the king. He said to me, My king is great. I told him, My king is greater than yours. He said to me, How do you say? I said to him, You are like you in my king, and not like you in your possession. Who is the greatest king? He said, You are right. I knew your destiny, your rank, and the meaning of your lordship and over who you are usury in the eyes of a servant, and with knowledge he is near, nearer and more delicious in witnessing, and God speaks the truth and He guides the way. The four hundred and fifty chapter on knowing the relationship of the one whose appearance was confirmed by me was with me because the Almighty was in him and there is no me, and it is the truth and the first is metaphor.If the servant is established in the place of ***, then God is the constant If you say, O Lord, grant me such and such *** and he gives it to you, then he is obedient If nothing else is ours *** then by God, tell me who is dead It was translated from him by a tongue that appeared ***, so he is the silent speaker And the servant did not have a single eye left for him, because of his loneliness a faint breath And he has no envious person in the womb *** if this is not gloating If you come at night to my house *** and spend the night there, who is dead? He is the truth with the pronunciation of being *** as He wills, and I am the silent one Were it not for Al-Lujain and his likes ***, the silent prostration would not be preferred I was amazed at him and his pride *** If the joking scientist jokes And he is not jealous of his honor *** So the servant of God here is vain God, the Exalted, the Majestic, said, Everything is perishable except for His [ The servants of God are of two kinds ]Know that the servants of God whom God has appointed to Him and have singled them out from among His servants into two categories: servants who are to Him by Him and servants who are to Him by themselves, and other than these, they are for themselves by themselves, God has nothing of them. To Him, the Exalted, by themselves, they are the ones who fulfilled His saying, the Most High, and I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship them. They are the deaf, tough, strong, merciful slaves among themselves, and their mark is the character of all conditions of annihilation, survival, erasure, affirmation, absence, presence, gathering and difference to what we assign to the universe from the mentioned conditions. Asceticism, piety, knowledge, love, patience, gratitude, contentment, and submission to others |
