Repelling al- Wajd<br />

If someone asks: "What about someone who tries to repel al- Wqjd<br />

but is unable to?"<br />

In response we say: <strong>The</strong> sign of honesty is to become unable to<br />

repel al-wqjd, and not become aware of what is happening to him. It<br />

is just like what happened to [Prophet] Musa ('alqyhis-saltim):<br />

"and Musa fell down unconscious"<br />

[al-A'rtif (1): 143]<br />

1Abdullah <strong>Ibn</strong> Wahb fainted after listening to a book about the<br />

calamities of the day of judgment, and died a few days later without<br />

saying a word.<br />

Many people died and many fainted after listening to a sermon.<br />

As for w'!}d that includes yelling and trembling, it is clear that it is<br />

an act that is supported <strong>by</strong> the devil.<br />

If someone asks: "If this (wqjd) happened to a sincere person would<br />

it still be condemnable?"<br />

<strong>The</strong> answer is: Yes, for two reasons:<br />

1. Had he had strong knowledge, he would have stopped (had<br />

control over himself).<br />
