twentieth hadith (20)
According to Ibn ¡Abbås, the Messenger of God, may God give him blessings and
peace, said:
God, ever mighty and majestic is He, revealed to Moses:
“There is no approach you can make to Me which I love more
than [your] satisfaction with My decree. And there is no action you
can perform which better preserves your good deeds than looking
to your own affairs.
“O Moses, do not make requests of people of this world, lest I
become displeased with you. And do not be generous with your
religion (d¨n) for the sake of this world, lest I close the doors of
My Mercy to you.
“O Moses, say to the believers who have turned to Me in repentance:
‘Rejoice.’ And say to the believers who stand humbled before
Me: ‘Refrain from bad’ or ‘Do good.’”
The Shaykh adds: “The uncertainty is mine [as to which of these two injunctions
is the correct reading].” 8
