Hadith 49

emselves, and their knees, and edges of their feet. Their tears flow upon their cheeks. The glorify the Magnificent Subduer and seek shelter to Him-azwj in liberating their necks. These are their nights. And as for their days, they are forbearing, scholars, righteous, pious. Fear of their Creator makes them righteous, so they are like the arrows. They are reckoned as being sick and having become insane, and they are not with that. But, they are affected from the Magnificence of their Lord-azwj and Severity of His-azwj Authority. Their hearts are broken for Him-azwj and their minds are stunned from Him-azwj. When they yearn from that, they rush to Allah-azwj the Exalted with the pure deeds. They are not satisfied to Him-azwj with the little, nor are they deeming the plenty as being a lot. They are accusing themselves and are fearful from their deeds. Strength in religion is seen for one of them, and resoluteness in gentleness, and Eman in conviction, and eagerness upon knowledge, and understanding in his jurisprudence, and knowledge in forbearance, and cleverness in moderation, and moderation in riches, and beautifying in poverty, and patience in adversity, and fearfulness in worship, and mercy in striving, and giving in rights, and kindness in earning, and seeking from Permissible, and chastity in coveting, and coveting in other than habits, and activity in guidance, and protectiveness regarding lustful desires, and righteousness in straightness. It does not deceive him whatever he is ignorant of, nor does he leave counting what he has done slowing himself in the deed, and he is upon fear from his righteous deeds. He comes to a morning and his pre-occupation is the Zikr, and he comes to a morning and his concern is the thanking (Allah-azwj). He spends the night cautious from the sleep of heedlessness, and in the morning he is happy with what he has attain from the Grace and the Mercy, and his soul is difficult upon him regarding what he dislikes, he does not give its request from what is his happiness to it; his desire is what remains and his abstention regarding what is perishable. He pairs the knowledge with the action, and the action with the forbearance, and he is constantly in the shade of activity, remote is his laziness, near are his hopes, few are his slips. He anticipates his death, fearful is his hear doing Zikr of his Lord-azwj, contented is his soul, isolated is his ignorance, protective of his religion, his disease (hypocrisy) is dead. He swallows his anger, clear are his manners, safe from him are his neighbours, easy are his affairs, limited is his arrogance, invincible is his patience, abundant is his Zikr. He does not do anything from the good to show off, nor does he leave it out of embarrassment. They are our-asws Shias, and ones who love us-asws, and they are from us-asws, and with us. Aah and the yearning to them! ’
Hammam shouted a scream and fell down unconscious. He-asws stirred him, but he has separated from the world. May Allah-azwj the Exalted have Mercy on him. He was washed, and Amir Al-Momineen-asws prayed Salat upon him and we were with him-asws. His-asws Shias, this is their description, and it is a description of the Momineen, and part of it has already preceded’’. [48]
