Chapter Eleven: The Devil's Deception ef the $iifts
The saying of Abii Hamzah, 'a voice called to me from within me' is to
be explained as the suggestion of an ignorant mind, convinced
through ignorance that reliance means rejection of means; for Islam
does not demand of a person any practice which it forbids.
Why too did not his innerself rebuke him when he stretched out
his hand and seized hold of the object which was let down to him?
For that too was a violation of his professed rejection of means,
which he calls reliance. What is the (difference between calling out
that he was in the well and taking hold of the object let down to
him?
Indeed, the latter is the more serious, since action is more serious than
speech. Why did he not keep still till he was lifted out without means
(sabab)? If he were to say: This was sent to me by Allah!
Both the object which He sent into the well and the tongue which
can call for assistance, were His creations. Had he called for assistance
he would have been employing means created by Allah to serve
him in self-defence; by keeping silence he made of no effect the
means created by Allah and resisted the Divine wisdom. Hence he
deserves censure for rejecting the means.
Mua'mmil al-Mughabi said: "I was travelling with Mu}:iammad Ibn
al-Samin from Tikrit to Mawsil when we heard a lion's roar. While
we were in a desert, we heard a lion roar close by. I was terrified and
shaken, as appeared by my face, and thought of running away. So
Ibn al-Samin held my arm and said: 0 Mua'mmil! This is where
true reliance is, not in the Masjid."
