divine sayings
thirty-fourth khabar (74)
God, ever mighty and majestic is He, answers someone who
embarks upon the pilgrimage with unlawful possessions, saying
“Here am I, Lord, at Your service”, and says:
“There is no ‘here am I, at Your service’, until you have cast aside
what you have in your hands.”
I have transmitted this tradition according to a group of knowledgeable people, from
whom I heard it without isnåd or authority or ascription, may God be satisfied with
them all.
God, ever exalted is He, said to Moses, upon him be peace:
“I shall teach you ¥ve sayings which constitute the pillars of
Religion.
“Until you have learned that My Kingdom has ended, do not
abandon your obedience to Me.
“Until you have learned that My Treasuries are exhausted, do
not be concerned for your nourishment.
“Until you have learned that your enemy is dead, do not think
yourself safe from attack, and do not neglect to ¥ght.
“Until you have learned that I have forgiven you, do not
criticise sinners.
“Until you have entered My Paradise, do not think yourself safe
from My ruse.”
This tradition was reported to us by Y¬nus b. Ya¢yå in a chain of transmission
going back through Jar¨r to the Prophet. 17
