Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 103
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْهُمْ (عليهم السلام) قَالَ فِيمَا وَعَظَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) يَا عِيسَى أَنَا رَبُّكَ وَ رَبُّ آبَائِكَ اسْمِي وَاحِدٌ وَ أَنَا الْأَحَدُ الْمُتَفَرِّدُ بِخَلْقِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ صُنْعِي وَ كُلٌّ إِلَيَّ رَاجِعُونَ يَا عِيسَى أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ بِأَمْرِي وَ أَنْتَ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي وَ أَنْتَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى بِكَلَامِي فَكُنْ إِلَيَّ رَاغِباً وَ مِنِّي رَاهِباً وَ لَنْ تَجِدَ مِنِّي مَلْجَأً إِلَّا إِلَيَّ يَا عِيسَى أُوصِيكَ وَصِيَّةَ الْمُتَحَنِّنِ عَلَيْكَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ حَتَّى حَقَّتْ لَكَ مِنِّي الْوَلَايَةُ بِتَحَرِّيكَ مِنِّي الْمَسَرَّةَ فَبُورِكْتَ كَبِيراً وَ بُورِكْتَ صَغِيراً حَيْثُ مَا كُنْتَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ عَبْدِي ابْنُ أَمَتِي أَنْزِلْنِي مِنْ نَفْسِكَ كَهَمِّكَ وَ اجْعَلْ ذِكْرِي لِمَعَادِكَ وَ تَقَرَّبْ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَيَّ أَكْفِكَ وَ لَا تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى غَيْرِي فَآخُذَ لَكَ يَا عِيسَى اصْبِرْ عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ وَ ارْضَ بِالْقَضَاءِ وَ كُنْ كَمَسَرَّتِي فِيكَ فَإِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أُطَاعَ فَلَا أُعْصَى يَا عِيسَى أَحْيِ ذِكْرِي بِلِسَانِكَ وَ لْيَكُنْ وُدِّي فِي قَلْبِكَ يَا عِيسَى تَيَقَّظْ فِي سَاعَاتِ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ احْكُمْ لِي لَطِيفَ الْحِكْمَةِ يَا عِيسَى كُنْ رَاغِباً رَاهِباً وَ أَمِتْ قَلْبَكَ بِالْخَشْيَةِ يَا عِيسَى رَاعِ اللَّيْلَ لِتَحَرِّي مَسَرَّتِي وَ أَظْمِئْ نَهَارَكَ لِيَوْمِ حَاجَتِكَ عِنْدِي يَا عِيسَى نَافِسْ فِي الْخَيْرِ جُهْدَكَ تُعْرَفْ بِالْخَيْرِ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتَ يَا عِيسَى احْكُمْ فِي عِبَادِي بِنُصْحِي وَ قُمْ فِيهِمْ بِعَدْلِي فَقَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ شِفَاءً لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ مِنْ مَرَضِ الشَّيْطَانِ يَا عِيسَى لَا تَكُنْ جَلِيساً لِكُلِّ مَفْتُونٍ يَا عِيسَى حَقّاً أَقُولُ مَا آمَنَتْ بِي خَلِيقَةٌ إِلَّا خَشَعَتْ لِي وَ لَا خَشَعَتْ لِي إِلَّا رَجَتْ ثَوَابِي فَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهَا آمِنَةٌ مِنْ عِقَابِي مَا لَمْ تُبَدِّلْ أَوْ تُغَيِّرْ سُنَّتِي يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ الْبِكْرِ الْبَتُولِ ابْكِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بُكَاءَ مَنْ وَدَّعَ الْأَهْلَ وَ قَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ تَرَكَهَا لِأَهْلِهَا وَ صَارَتْ رَغْبَتُهُ فِيمَا عِنْدَ إِلَهِهِ يَا عِيسَى كُنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ تُلِينُ الْكَلَامَ وَ تُفْشِي السَّلَامَ يَقْظَانَ إِذَا نَامَتْ عُيُونُ الْأَبْرَارِ حَذَراً لِلْمَعَادِ وَ الزَّلَازِلِ الشِّدَادِ وَ أَهْوَالِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ حَيْثُ لَا يَنْفَعُ أَهْلٌ وَ لَا وَلَدٌ وَ لَا مَالٌ يَا عِيسَى اكْحُلْ عَيْنَكَ بِمِيلِ الْحُزْنِ إِذَا ضَحِكَ الْبَطَّالُونَ يَا عِيسَى كُنْ خَاشِعاً صَابِراً فَطُوبَى لَكَ إِنْ نَالَكَ مَا وُعِدَ الصَّابِرُونَ يَا عِيسَى رُحْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَوْماً فَيَوْماً وَ ذُقْ لِمَا قَدْ ذَهَبَ طَعْمُهُ فَحَقّاً أَقُولُ مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بِسَاعَتِكَ وَ يَوْمِكَ فَرُحْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِبُلْغَةٍ وَ لْيَكْفِكَ الْخَشِنُ الْجَشِبُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتَ إِلَى مَا تَصِيرُ وَ مَكْتُوبٌ مَا أَخَذْتَ وَ كَيْفَ أَتْلَفْتَ يَا عِيسَى إِنَّكَ مَسْئُولٌ فَارْحَمِ الضَّعِيفَ كَرَحْمَتِي إِيَّاكَ وَ لَا تَقْهَرِ الْيَتِيمَ يَا عِيسَى ابْكِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ فِي الْخَلَوَاتِ وَ انْقُلْ قَدَمَيْكَ إِلَى مَوَاقِيتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ أَسْمِعْنِي لَذَاذَةَ نُطْقِكَ بِذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ صَنِيعِي إِلَيْكَ حَسَنٌ يَا عِيسَى كَمْ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ قَدْ أَهْلَكْتُهَا بِسَالِفِ ذُنُوبٍ قَدْ عَصَمْتُكَ مِنْهَا يَا عِيسَى ارْفُقْ بِالضَّعِيفِ وَ ارْفَعْ طَرْفَكَ الْكَلِيلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ ادْعُنِي فَإِنِّي مِنْكَ قَرِيبٌ وَ لَا تَدْعُنِي إِلَّا مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيَّ وَ هَمَّكَ هَمّاً وَاحِداً فَإِنَّكَ مَتَى تَدْعُنِي كَذَلِكَ أُجِبْكَ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي لَمْ أَرْضَ بِالدُّنْيَا ثَوَاباً لِمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ وَ لَا عِقَاباً لِمَنِ انْتَقَمْتُ مِنْهُ يَا عِيسَى إِنَّكَ تَفْنَى وَ أَنَا أَبْقَى وَ مِنِّي رِزْقُكَ وَ عِنْدِي مِيقَاتُ أَجَلِكَ وَ إِلَيَّ إِيَابُكَ وَ عَلَيَّ حِسَابُكَ فَسَلْنِي وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ غَيْرِي فَيَحْسُنَ مِنْكَ الدُّعَاءُ وَ مِنِّي الْإِجَابَةُ يَا عِيسَى مَا أَكْثَرَ الْبَشَرَ وَ أَقَلَّ عَدَدَ مَنْ صَبَرَ الْأَشْجَارُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَ طَيِّبُهَا قَلِيلٌ فَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ حُسْنُ شَجَرَةٍ حَتَّى تَذُوقَ ثَمَرَهَا يَا عِيسَى لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ عَلَيَّ بِالْعِصْيَانِ يَأْكُلُ رِزْقِي وَ يَعْبُدُ غَيْرِي ثُمَّ يَدْعُونِي عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ فَأُجِيبُهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَلَيَّ يَتَمَرَّدُ أَمْ بِسَخَطِي يَتَعَرَّضُ فَبِي حَلَفْتُ لآَخُذَنَّهُ أَخْذَةً لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْهَا مَنْجًى وَ لَا دُونِي مَلْجَأٌ أَيْنَ يَهْرُبُ مِنْ سَمَائِي وَ أَرْضِي يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لِظَلَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا تَدْعُونِي وَ السُّحْتُ تَحْتَ أَحْضَانِكُمْ وَ الْأَصْنَامُ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ فَإِنِّي آلَيْتُ أَنْ أُجِيبَ مَنْ دَعَانِي وَ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ إِجَابَتِي إِيَّاهُمْ لَعْناً عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقُوا يَا عِيسَى كَمْ أُطِيلُ النَّظَرَ وَ أُحْسِنُ الطَّلَبَ وَ الْقَوْمُ فِي غَفْلَةٍ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ تَخْرُجُ الْكَلِمَةُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لَا تَعِيهَا قُلُوبُهُمْ يَتَعَرَّضُونَ لِمَقْتِي وَ يَتَحَبَّبُونَ بِقُرْبِي إِلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا عِيسَى لِيَكُنْ لِسَانُكَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَاحِداً وَ كَذَلِكَ فَلْيَكُنْ قَلْبُكَ وَ بَصَرُكَ وَ اطْوِ قَلْبَكَ وَ لِسَانَكَ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ وَ كُفَّ بَصَرَكَ عَمَّا لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ فَكَمْ مِنْ نَاظِرٍ نَظْرَةً قَدْ زَرَعَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ شَهْوَةً وَ وَرَدَتْ بِهِ مَوَارِدَ حِيَاضِ الْهَلَكَةِ يَا عِيسَى كُنْ رَحِيماً مُتَرَحِّماً وَ كُنْ كَمَا تَشَاءُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْعِبَادُ لَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرَكَ الْمَوْتَ وَ مُفَارَقَةَ الْأَهْلِينَ وَ لَا تَلْهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهْوَ يُفْسِدُ صَاحِبَهُ وَ لَا تَغْفُلْ فَإِنَّ الْغَافِلَ مِنِّي بَعِيدٌ وَ اذْكُرْنِي بِالصَّالِحَاتِ حَتَّى أَذْكُرَكَ يَا عِيسَى تُبْ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ الذَّنْبِ وَ ذَكِّرْ بِيَ الْأَوَّابِينَ وَ آمِنْ بِي وَ تَقَرَّبْ بِي إِلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مُرْهُمْ يَدْعُونِي مَعَكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ فَإِنِّي آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ أَفْتَحَ لَهَا بَاباً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِالْقَبُولِ وَ أَنْ أُجِيبَهُ وَ لَوْ بَعْدَ حِينٍ يَا عِيسَى اعْلَمْ أَنَّ صَاحِبَ السَّوْءِ يُعْدِي وَ قَرِينَ السَّوْءِ يُرْدِي وَ اعْلَمْ مَنْ تُقَارِنُ وَ اخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ إِخْوَاناً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا عِيسَى تُبْ إِلَيَّ فَإِنِّي لَا يَتَعَاظَمُنِي ذَنْبٌ أَنْ أَغْفِرَهُ وَ أَنَا أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ اعْمَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي مُهْلَةٍ مِنْ أَجَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ لَا يَعْمَلَ لَهَا غَيْرُكَ وَ اعْبُدْنِي لِيَوْمٍ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ فِيهِ أَجْزِي بِالْحَسَنَةِ أَضْعَافَهَا وَ إِنَّ السَّيِّئَةَ تُوبِقُ صَاحِبَهَا فَامْهَدْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي مُهْلَةٍ وَ نَافِسْ فِي الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ فَكَمْ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ قَدْ نَهَضَ أَهْلُهُ وَ هُمْ مُجَارُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا عِيسَى ازْهَدْ فِي الْفَانِي الْمُنْقَطِعِ وَ طَأْ رُسُومَ مَنَازِلِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ فَادْعُهُمْ وَ نَاجِهِمْ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَ خُذْ مَوْعِظَتَكَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ سَتَلْحَقُهُمْ فِي اللَّاحِقِينَ يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لِمَنْ تَمَرَّدَ عَلَيَّ بِالْعِصْيَانِ وَ عَمِلَ بِالْإِدْهَانِ لِيَتَوَقَّعْ عُقُوبَتِي وَ يَنْتَظِرُ إِهْلَاكِي إِيَّاهُ سَيُصْطَلَمُ مَعَ الْهَالِكِينَ طُوبَى لَكَ يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ ثُمَّ طُوبَى لَكَ إِنْ أَخَذْتَ بِأَدَبِ إِلَهِكَ الَّذِي يَتَحَنَّنُ عَلَيْكَ تَرَحُّماً وَ بَدَأَكَ بِالنِّعَمِ مِنْهُ تَكَرُّماً وَ كَانَ لَكَ فِي الشَّدَائِدِ لَا تَعْصِهِ يَا عِيسَى فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ عِصْيَانُهُ قَدْ عَهِدْتُ إِلَيْكَ كَمَا عَهِدْتُ إِلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ وَ أَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ يَا عِيسَى مَا أَكْرَمْتُ خَلِيقَةً بِمِثْلِ دِينِي وَ لَا أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا بِمِثْلِ رَحْمَتِي يَا عِيسَى اغْسِلْ بِالْمَاءِ مِنْكَ مَا ظَهَرَ وَ دَاوِ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ مِنْكَ مَا بَطَنَ فَإِنَّكَ إِلَيَّ رَاجِعٌ يَا عِيسَى أَعْطَيْتُكَ مَا أَنْعَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ فَيْضاً مِنْ غَيْرِ تَكْدِيرٍ وَ طَلَبْتُ مِنْكَ قَرْضاً لِنَفْسِكَ فَبَخِلْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ يَا عِيسَى تَزَيَّنْ بِالدِّينِ وَ حُبِّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ امْشِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْناً وَ صَلِّ عَلَى الْبِقَاعِ فَكُلُّهَا طَاهِرٌ يَا عِيسَى شَمِّرْ فَكُلُّ مَا هُوَ آتٍ قَرِيبٌ وَ اقْرَأْ كِتَابِي وَ أَنْتَ طَاهِرٌ وَ أَسْمِعْنِي مِنْكَ صَوْتاً حَزِيناً يَا عِيسَى لَا خَيْرَ فِي لَذَاذَةٍ لَا تَدُومُ وَ عَيْشٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ يَزُولُ يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ لَوْ رَأَتْ عَيْنُكَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَوْلِيَائِيَ الصَّالِحِينَ ذَابَ قَلْبُكَ وَ زَهَقَتْ نَفْسُكَ شَوْقاً إِلَيْهِ فَلَيْسَ كَدَارِ الْآخِرَةِ دَارٌ تَجَاوَرَ فِيهَا الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ هُمْ مِمَّا يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أَهْوَالِهَا آمِنُونَ دَارٌ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُ فِيهَا النَّعِيمُ وَ لَا يَزُولُ عَنْ أَهْلِهَا يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ نَافِسْ فِيهَا مَعَ الْمُتَنَافِسِينَ فَإِنَّهَا أُمْنِيَّةُ الْمُتَمَنِّينَ حَسَنَةُ الْمَنْظَرِ طُوبَى لَكَ يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَهَا مِنَ الْعَامِلِينَ مَعَ آبَائِكَ آدَمَ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَ نَعِيمٍ لَا تَبْغِي بِهَا بَدَلًا وَ لَا تَحْوِيلًا كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ بِالْمُتَّقِينَ يَا عِيسَى اهْرُبْ إِلَيَّ مَعَ مَنْ يَهْرُبُ مِنْ نَارٍ ذَاتِ لَهَبٍ وَ نَارٍ ذَاتِ أَغْلَالٍ وَ أَنْكَالٍ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا رَوْحٌ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا غَمٌّ أَبَداً قِطَعٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ مَنْ يَنْجُ مِنْهَا يَفُزْ وَ لَنْ يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا مَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ هِيَ دَارُ الْجَبَّارِينَ وَ الْعُتَاةِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ كُلِّ فَظٍّ غَلِيظٍ وَ كُلِّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ يَا عِيسَى بِئْسَتِ الدَّارُ لِمَنْ رَكَنَ إِلَيْهَا وَ بِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ دَارُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِنِّي أُحَذِّرُكَ نَفْسَكَ فَكُنْ بِي خَبِيراً يَا عِيسَى كُنْ حَيْثُ مَا كُنْتَ مُرَاقِباً لِي وَ اشْهَدْ عَلَى أَنِّي خَلَقْتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَ أَنِّي صَوَّرْتُكَ وَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَهْبَطْتُكَ يَا عِيسَى لَا يَصْلُحُ لِسَانَانِ فِي فَمٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ لَا قَلْبَانِ فِي صَدْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْأَذْهَانُ يَا عِيسَى لَا تَسْتَيْقِظَنَّ عَاصِياً وَ لَا تَسْتَنْبِهَنَّ لَاهِياً وَ افْطِمْ نَفْسَكَ عَنِ الشَّهَوَاتِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ وَ كُلُّ شَهْوَةٍ تُبَاعِدُكَ مِنِّي فَاهْجُرْهَا وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ مِنِّي بِمَكَانِ الرَّسُولِ الْأَمِينِ فَكُنْ مِنِّي عَلَى حَذَرٍ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ دُنْيَاكَ مُؤَدِّيَتُكَ إِلَيَّ وَ أَنِّي آخُذُكَ بِعِلْمِي فَكُنْ ذَلِيلَ النَّفْسِ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِي خَاشِعَ الْقَلْبِ حِينَ تَذْكُرُنِي يَقْظَانَ عِنْدَ نَوْمِ الْغَافِلِينَ يَا عِيسَى هَذِهِ نَصِيحَتِي إِيَّاكَ وَ مَوْعِظَتِي لَكَ فَخُذْهَا مِنِّي وَ إِنِّي رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ يَا عِيسَى إِذَا صَبَرَ عَبْدِي فِي جَنْبِي كَانَ ثَوَابُ عَمَلِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ حِينَ يَدْعُونِي وَ كَفَى بِي مُنْتَقِماً مِمَّنْ عَصَانِي أَيْنَ يَهْرُبُ مِنِّي الظَّالِمُونَ يَا عِيسَى أَطِبِ الْكَلَامَ وَ كُنْ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ عَالِماً مُتَعَلِّماً يَا عِيسَى أَفِضْ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَكَ ذِكْرُهَا عِنْدِي وَ تَمَسَّكْ بِوَصِيَّتِي فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً لِلْقُلُوبِ يَا عِيسَى لَا تَأْمَنْ إِذَا مَكَرْتَ مَكْرِي وَ لَا تَنْسَ عِنْدَ خَلَوَاتِ الدُّنْيَا ذِكْرِي يَا عِيسَى حَاسِبْ نَفْسَكَ بِالرُّجُوعِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى تَتَنَجَّزَ ثَوَابَ مَا عَمِلَهُ الْعَامِلُونَ أُولَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ وَ أَنَا خَيْرُ الْمُؤْتِينَ يَا عِيسَى كُنْتَ خَلْقاً بِكَلَامِي وَلَدَتْكَ مَرْيَمُ بِأَمْرِيَ الْمُرْسَلُ إِلَيْهَا رُوحِي جَبْرَئِيلُ الْأَمِينُ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِي حَتَّى قُمْتَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ حَيّاً تَمْشِي كُلُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَابِقِ عِلْمِي يَا عِيسَى زَكَرِيَّا بِمَنْزِلَةِ أَبِيكَ وَ كَفِيلُ أُمِّكَ إِذْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا الْمِحْرَابَ فَيَجِدُ عِنْدَهَا رِزْقاً وَ نَظِيرُكَ يَحْيَى مِنْ خَلْقِي وَهَبْتُهُ لِأُمِّهِ بَعْدَ الْكِبَرِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قُوَّةٍ بِهَا أَرَدْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ لَهَا سُلْطَانِي وَ يَظْهَرَ فِيكَ قُدْرَتِي أَحَبُّكُمْ إِلَيَّ أَطْوَعُكُمْ لِي وَ أَشَدُّكُمْ خَوْفاً مِنِّي يَا عِيسَى تَيَقَّظْ وَ لَا تَيْأَسْ مِنْ رَوْحِي وَ سَبِّحْنِي مَعَ مَنْ يُسَبِّحُنِي وَ بِطَيِّبِ الْكَلَامِ فَقَدِّسْنِي يَا عِيسَى كَيْفَ يَكْفُرُ الْعِبَادُ بِي وَ نَوَاصِيهِمْ فِي قَبْضَتِي وَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِي يَجْهَلُونَ نِعْمَتِي وَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ عَدُوِّي وَ كَذَلِكَ يَهْلِكُ الْكَافِرُونَ يَا عِيسَى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا سِجْنٌ مُنْتِنُ الرِّيحِ وَ حَسُنَ فِيهَا مَا قَدْ تَرَى مِمَّا قَدْ تَذَابَحَ عَلَيْهِ الْجَبَّارُونَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الدُّنْيَا فَكُلُّ نَعِيمِهَا يَزُولُ وَ

103. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, who has narrated the following: The Imam عليه الصلاة والسلام having said: ‘Among the Advice which Allah عز وجل Gave to Isa عليه السلام was: “O Isa عليه السلام! I عز وجل am your عليه السلام Lord عز وجل, and the Lord عز وجل of your عليه السلام forefathers. My عز وجل Name is ‘وَاحِدٌ’ the One, and I عز وجل am the ‘الْأَحَدُ’ the One, which cannot be divided, the Lone One Who عز وجل Created everything, and everything is Made by My عز وجل and everything Returns to Me عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! You عليه السلام are the Messiah by My عز وجل Command, and you عليه السلام create from the clay something like the bird (but) by My عز وجل Permission, and you عليه السلام revive the dead by My عز وجل Speech, so become attentive towards Me عز وجل and be a ‘رَاهِباً’ fully devote yourself to Me عز وجل, and you عليه السلام will never find a refuge except with Me عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! I عز وجل Bequeath to you عليه السلام a Compassionate Command with the Mercy until the Wilayah is Ordained from Me عز وجل and there comes Pleasure from Me عز وجل. You عليه السلام are blessed as a grown up and blessed as a child whereby you عليه السلام testified that you عليه السلام are My عز وجل servant, the son عليه السلام of My عز وجل maidservant (Maryam عليه السلام). Make room for Me عز وجل in yourself عليه السلام like your عليه السلام concerns, and make My عز وجل Remembrance to be for your عليه السلام return, and come near to Me عز وجل by the optional (Prayers), and place reliance upon Me عز وجل for I عز وجل will Suffice for you عليه السلام, and do not rely upon the others for I عز وجل shall Abandon you عليه السلام. O Isa عليه السلام! Observe patience upon the afflictions and be pleased with the Destiny, and become like My عز وجل Happiness in you عليه السلام, for if My عز وجل Happiness is what makes you عليه السلام happy, you عليه السلام will be obedient and will not disobey. O Isa عليه السلام! Revive My عز وجل Remembrance by your عليه السلام tongue, and make My عز وجل cordiality to be in your عليه السلام heart. O Isa عليه السلام! Be vigilant in the hours of neglect and consider Me عز وجل of Kind Wisdom. O Isa عليه السلام! Be attentive, a Devotee, and prepare your عليه السلام heart to fear (Me عز وجل). O Isa عليه السلام! Be a shepherd of the night to search for My عز وجل Happiness, and Magnify Me عز وجل in your عليه السلام daytime for asking for your عليه السلام need from Me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. O Isa عليه السلام! Compete with regards to the good with your عليه السلام striving; you عليه السلام will be known by the good wherever you عليه السلام may turn to. O Isa عليه السلام! Judge among My عز وجل servants by My عز وجل Advice, and stand among them with My عز وجل Justice, for I عز وجل have Made to Descend upon you عليه السلام a healing for what is in the chests from the diseases of the Satan (la). O Isa عليه السلام! Do not be seated with the intrigued (hypocrites). O Isa عليه السلام! Truly I عز وجل Say that no creature believed in Me عز وجل except that he was humble to Me عز وجل, and did not humble himself to Me عز وجل except that he hoped for My عز وجل Reward. Be a witness that he is safe from My عز وجل Punishment, (that will be) the one who did not change or replace My عز وجل Sunnah. O Isa عليه السلام, the first son عليه السلام of the chaste virgin, weep for your عليه السلام self with a weeping like the one who says farewell to his family, and hate the world and leave it to its people, and become interested in what is in the Presence of your عليه السلام God. O Isa عليه السلام! Be along with that as a soft-spoken person, and offers greetings and be vigilant when the eyes of the righteous go to sleep. Be cautious of the Return and the severe earthquakes and the sensations of the Day of Judgement when neither the family, not the sons, nor the wealth would be of any benefit. O Isa عليه السلام! Apply the Kohl of grief in your عليه السلام eyes whilst the people of falsehood laugh. O Isa عليه السلام! Become humble and patient, for Tooba is for you عليه السلام if you عليه السلام achieve what has been Prepared for the patient ones. O Isa عليه السلام! Go from the world day by day, and taste the food from which its taste is less indulging. So I عز وجل Truly Say, you عليه السلام are not with anything except for your عليه السلام hour and your عليه السلام day, so go from the world with provision, and let the rough (clothes) and less tempting (food) suffice for you عليه السلام for you عليه السلام have seen what becomes of it, and whatever you عليه السلام take is written down, and how you عليه السلام have consumed it. O Isa عليه السلام! You عليه السلام will be questioned, so be merciful to the weak just like My عز وجل Mercy towards you عليه السلام, and do not subdue the orphan. O Isa عليه السلام! You عليه السلام weep over yourself عليه السلام in private, move your عليه السلام feet to the timings of the Prayer, and let Me عز وجل Hear your عليه السلام sweet speech of My عز وجل remembrance, for My عز وجل Favour to you عليه السلام is good. O Isa عليه السلام! How many from the community I عز وجل have Destroyed for their previous sins which I عز وجل have Protected you عليه السلام from it. O Isa عليه السلام! Be kind to the weak ones and raise your tired eye towards the sky and call upon Me عز وجل for I عز وجل am Near to you عليه السلام and do not Pray to Me عز وجل except by Supplicating to Me عز وجل for your عليه السلام concern is one concern, for when you عليه السلام call upon Me عز وجل in such a manner, I عز وجل will Answer you عليه السلام. O Isa عليه السلام, I عز وجل was not Pleased with Presenting the world as a Reward for the ones who were before you عليه السلام, nor as a Punishment for the ones I عز وجل Want to Retaliate against. O Isa عليه السلام! You عليه السلام are to die and I عز وجل shall Remain, and from Me عز وجل is your عليه السلام sustenance, and with Me عز وجل is your عليه السلام fixed term and to Me عز وجل is your عليه السلام eventual return, and to Me عز وجل is your عليه السلام Accounting, so ask Me عز وجل and do not ask someone else, for the best from you عليه السلام is the supplication, and from Me عز وجل is the Answering of it. O Isa عليه السلام! How numerous are the human beings and how little are, in numbers, the patient ones. The trees are many but the good ones of it are few. So do not be deceived by the beauty of the tree until you have tasted its fruit. O Isa عليه السلام! Do not be deceived by the rebellious one by disobeying My (Commands), I عز وجل Provide sustenance so (don’t) worship someone else, then he calls upon Me عز وجل during hardships, so I عز وجل Answer him. Then he returns to what he used to be in, rebelling against Me عز وجل exposing himself to My عز وجل Anger. I عز وجل Swear by Myself عز وجل that I عز وجل shall Grab him with such a Grip that there will be no salvation for him from it, and no refuge apart from Me عز وجل. Where will he run from My عز وجل skies and from My عز وجل earth? O Isa عليه السلام! Say to the unjust ones from the Children of Israel not to supplicate to Me عز وجل whilst the illegal earnings is under their hearts (into their stomach), and the idols are in their houses, for I عز وجل have Undertaken that I عز وجل shall Answer to the one who supplicates to Me عز وجل, and Make My عز وجل Answer to be a Curse upon them (who disobey) until they disperse. O Isa عليه السلام! How many times have I عز وجل Given them lengthy Consideration, and goodness of the seeking, but the people are in neglect and they will not return. The words come out from their mouths but their hearts are not with it. They expose themselves to My عز وجل Abhorrence and seek nearness to the Believers by display their love for Me عز وجل (showing hypocrisy) O Isa عليه السلام! Make your عليه السلام tongue to be one, be it in secret or in the open, and do that similarly with your عليه السلام heart and your عليه السلام vision. And turn your عليه السلام heart and your عليه السلام vision away from the Prohibited and restrain your عليه السلام vision from that which has no benefit. So how many glances of the looker have planted lust in his heart, and returned him by it to the fountains of destruction. O Isa عليه السلام! Be merciful and compassionate, and be as you عليه السلام would like the people to be towards you عليه السلام. And frequently remember the death, and the separation of the families. And do not play for its amusements (as it) spoils the player. And do not be neglectful one for the neglectful is far from Me عز وجل. And Remember Me عز وجل by the righteous deeds so that I عز وجل speak of you عليه السلام. O Isa عليه السلام! Repent and return to Me عز وجل after the sins, and Mention Me عز وجل by the penitence, and believe in Me عز وجل, and come closer to the Believers by Me عز وجل, and urge them to supplicate to me عز وجل along with you عليه السلام. And beware of the supplication of the oppressed for I عز وجل have Undertaken upon Myself عز وجل that I عز وجل shall Open for it the Doors of the sky by the Acceptance, and Answer him even though it may be after a while. O Isa عليه السلام! Know that the evil one infects, and the evil friend destroys. And know the one whom you عليه السلام befriend and chose as a brother for yourself عليه السلام from the Believers. O Isa عليه السلام! Repent to Me عز وجل as there is no grand sin that I عز وجل do not Forgive it, and I عز وجل am the Most Merciful of the merciful ones. Work for yourself عليه السلام in the time allocated from your عليه السلام term before someone else works for it, and worship Me عز وجل for a day which will be like a thousand years of your counting, during which I عز وجل will Reward the good deeds by increasing them, and that the sins would remain with their doers. Prepare for yourself عليه السلام in the allocated time, and compete in the good deeds, for how many a gathering has dispersed and its people being each other’s neighbours in the Fire. O Isa عليه السلام! Abstain with regards to the mortal, that which will be cut-off, of the houses of the ones who were before you عليه السلام, so call them and whisper to them. Do you عليه السلام feel that any one of them would take your عليه السلام advice? And know, that you عليه السلام will be joining them among the joining ones’. O Isa عليه السلام! Say to the one who has rebelled against Me عز وجل by disobedience and works in opposition, to expect My عز وجل Punishment and await My عز وجل Destruction upon him, so he will be joined with the Destroyed ones. Tooba is for you عليه السلام, O son عليه السلام of Maryam عليه السلام. Then Tooba is for you عليه السلام if you عليه السلام were to take to the discipline of your عليه السلام God Who is Compassionate towards you عليه السلام and Merciful, and Begin with the Favours to you عليه السلام from Him عز وجل for Honour, as He عز وجل was for you عليه السلام in the difficulties, and you عليه السلام did not disobey Him عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! It is not Permissible for you عليه السلام to disobey Him عز وجل Who has Advised you عليه الصلاة والسلام just as He عز وجل had Advised the ones who were before you عليه السلام, and I عز وجل am a Witness over that. O Isa عليه السلام! I عز وجل have not Honoured any creature with the like of My عز وجل Religion, nor a Favour to him like My عز وجل Mercy. O Isa عليه السلام! Wash with the water from you, what is apparent and heal with the goodness from you عليه السلام what is hidden, for you عليه السلام will be returning to Me عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! I عز وجل Gave to you عليه السلام what I عز وجل had Favoured you عليه السلام with an uninterrupted flow, and Sought from you عليه السلام a loan for yourself عليه السلام, so if you عليه السلام were to be niggardly with regards to it you عليه السلام would become of the Destroyed ones. O Isa عليه السلام! Adorn yourself عليه السلام with the Religion and love the poor, and walk upon the earth in humility, and Pray upon the remainder, for all of it is clean. O Isa عليه السلام! Roll up (your عليه السلام affairs) for all that comes, is close by, and read My عز وجل Book whilst you عليه السلام are clean, make Me عز وجل Listen to a voice from you عليه السلام full of grief. O Isa عليه السلام! There is no good in enjoyment which does not last and the life of the enjoyer is in decline. O son عليه السلام of Maryam عليه السلام! If you عليه السلام were to see what I عز وجل have Prepared for My عز وجل righteous friends, your عليه السلام heart would melt, and your عليه السلام soul would come out (of your عليه السلام body) in desire for it. So there is no house like the House of the Hereafter in which the neighbours are good people, and the Angels of Proximity come up to them, and they would be from the ones who would come on the Day of Judgement being safe from its horrors. A House in which, there is no change in the Bliss, nor are its inhabitants in decline. O son عليه السلام of Maryam عليه السلام! Compete with regards to it (the House in the Hereafter) along with the competitors, for it is the desire of the desirous ones, of good scenery. Tooba is for you, O son عليه السلام of Maryam عليه السلام , if you عليه السلام are from the workers for it, along with your عليه السلام forefathers Adam عليه السلام, and Ibrahim عليه السلام, being in the Gardens and Bliss, not seeking a substitution for it nor a transfer from it. That is how I عز وجل Deal with the pious ones. O Isa عليه السلام! Flee to Me عز وجل like those who flee from the flaming Fire, and the Fire with chains and fetters. No soul would enter it and its grief would leave from him ever. It is a part like the part of the dark night. Those who are rescued from it would be successful, and those who do not get Rescued from it would be of the Destroyed ones. This is the House of the tyrants, and hardened oppressors, and every harsh, rude one, and every arrogant boaster. O Isa عليه السلام! It is the evil house for the ones in its corner, and the evil dwelling for the unjust ones. I عز وجل Caution you عليه السلام, so that you عليه السلام would be informed about it. O Isa عليه السلام! Beware you عليه السلام can be an observer for Me عز وجل, and testify that I عز وجل have Created you عليه السلام, and you عليه السلام are My عز وجل servant, and I عز وجل Shaped you عليه السلام, and sent you عليه السلام down to the earth. O Isa عليه السلام! It is not correct for two tongues to be in one mouth, not for two hearts to be in one chest, similarly for the minds. O Isa عليه السلام! Do not wake up as a disobedient one, nor indulge in vanities whilst awake, and turn yourself عليه السلام away from the lusts and the sins, and every desire which distances you عليه السلام from Me عز وجل. So migrate from it, and know that you عليه السلام are from Me عز وجل at the status of the trustworthy Rasool عليه السلام, so be cautious with regards to Me عز وجل, and know that your عليه السلام world will deliver you عليه السلام to Me عز وجل, and I عز وجل will Grab you عليه السلام with My عز وجل Knowledge. So become a humble soul during My عز وجل Remembrance, with a revering heart when you عليه السلام Mention Me عز وجل, being fully aware whilst the neglectful ones sleep. O Isa عليه السلام! This is My عز وجل Advice to you عليه السلام and My عز وجل Preaching to you عليه السلام, so take it from Me عز وجل, and I عز وجل am the Lord عز وجل of the worlds. O Isa عليه السلام! If My عز وجل servant is patient with Me عز وجل, his Rewards for his deeds are upon Me عز وجل, and it was upon him to supplicate to Me عز وجل, and I عز وجل am Sufficient to Take Revenge from the ones who are disobedient to Me عز وجل. Where will the unjust runaway to, from Me عز وجل? O Isa عليه السلام! Speak good words wherever you عليه السلام may be, for I عز وجل am a Knowledgeable Teacher. O Isa عليه السلام! Bestow the good deeds towards Me عز وجل until it is Mentioned in My عز وجل Presence, and take to My عز وجل Advice, for there is a healing for the hearts therein. O Isa عليه السلام! Do not hesitate when you عليه السلام plan from My عز وجل Plan, and do not forget My عز وجل Remembrance in the privacy of the world. O Isa عليه السلام! Take account of yourself عليه السلام by referring to Me عز وجل until I عز وجل Accomplish the Rewards for what the workers have worked for. Those are the ones who will be getting their Recompense, and I عز وجل am the Best of the Givers. O Isa عليه السلام! You عليه السلام were Created by My عز وجل Word, and Maryam عليه السلام gave birth to you عليه السلام by My عز وجل Command, the Message sent to her عليه السلام by My عز وجل Spirit Jibraeel the Trustworthy one from My عز وجل Angels, until you عليه السلام stood upon the earth alive and walking. All that had been encompassed by My عز وجل Knowledge. O Isa عليه السلام! Zakariyya عليه السلام is at the status of your عليه السلام father, and is the guardian of your عليه السلام mother عليه السلام. When he عليه السلام came up to her عليه السلام in the Niche (Al-Mihraab) he عليه السلام found sustenance in her عليه السلام presence. And your عليه السلام counterpart Yahya عليه السلام (John) is from My عز وجل creatures, and I عز وجل Gifted him عليه السلام to his عليه السلام mother after the old age had set in, and she had no strength to her. I عز وجل Intended by that to Display to her My عز وجل Authority, and Display with regards to you عليه السلام, My عز وجل Power. The most Beloved of you all, to Me عز وجل is the one who is most obedient to Me عز وجل, and the most intense in his fear from Me عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! Be vigilant and do not despair from My عز وجل Spirit, and Glorify Me عز وجل along with the ones who Glorify Me عز وجل, and with the good speech Extol My عز وجل Holiness. O Isa عليه السلام! How can the servants disbelieve in Me عز وجل whilst their forelocks are in My عز وجل Grip, and their going about in My عز وجل land while being ignorant of My عز وجل Favours, and their befriending of My عز وجل enemies, and that is how the infidels are (destined for) Destruction. O Isa عليه السلام! The world is a prison with the rotten smell, and there is beauty in it from what has been seen by the tyrants who slaughter each other for it. And beware of the world, for every bounty of it is subject to decline, and there is no bounty in it except for a little. O Isa عليه السلام! Reach for Me عز وجل near your عليه السلام pillow and you عليه السلام will find Me عز وجل, and call upon Me عز وجل and you عليه السلام are Beloved unto Me عز وجل, for I عز وجل am the most Hearing of the listening. I عز وجل shall Answer the supplicant when one supplicates to Me عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! Fear Me عز وجل and get My عز وجل servants to fear Me عز وجل perhaps the sinners would abstain from what they are working in, so no one would be destroyed except that they would be aware (of it). O Isa عليه السلام! Be in awe of Me عز وجل as you عليه السلام are awed by the (fearful) beasts, and the death which you عليه السلام are going to meet up with, for all these things, I عز وجل Created them, so it is Me عز وجل they should be Awed of. O Isa عليه السلام! The Kingdom is Mine عز وجل and in My عز وجل Hands, and I عز وجل am the King, so if you عليه السلام were to obey Me عز وجل, I عز وجل shall Make you عليه السلام to Enter My عز وجل Paradise among the neighbourhood of the righteous ones. O Isa عليه السلام! If I عز وجل am Angry with you عليه السلام, the happiness of those who are happy with you عليه السلام would be of no benefit to you عليه السلام, and if I عز وجل am Pleased with you عليه السلام, the anger of the angry ones would not adversely affect you عليه السلام. O Isa عليه السلام! Remember me عز وجل in your عليه السلام soul, I عز وجل will Remember you عليه السلام Myself عز وجل, and Mention Me عز وجل among your عليه السلام people and I عز وجل will Mention you عليه السلام among My عز وجل Gathering which is better than the gathering of the human beings. O Isa عليه السلام! Supplicate to Me عز وجل by the supplication of the drowning one (Al-Ghareek), the grieving one for whom there is no helper (except Me عز وجل). O Isa عليه السلام! Do not swear falsely by Me عز وجل, for (that) My عز وجل Throne Trembles in Anger. The world has a short life span, but there are long yearnings therein, whilst in My عز وجل Possession is a better House from what you عليه السلام accumulate. O Isa عليه السلام! How will you عليه السلام react when I عز وجل Bring out a Book for you عليه السلام which Speaks with the Truth, and you will all testify to the secrets that you have been concealing, and the deeds which you had been performing. O Isa عليه السلام! Say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘You have washed your faces, and left your hearts as filthy. Are you trying to deceive Me عز وجل with a deception, or are you being audacious against Me عز وجل? You are applying fragrance for the people of the world whilst your inner selves are in My عز وجل Presence at the status of the rotten carcass, as if you are a dead people’. O Isa عليه السلام! Say to them: ‘Trim your fingernails (cut yourselves off) from unlawful gains, and deafen your ears from the indecent speech, and turn towards Me عز وجل by your hearts, for I عز وجل do not Want (Fond of) your appearances. O Isa عليه السلام! Be happy with the good deeds for therein lies My عز وجل Pleasure, and weep over the sins for it is a disgrace. And do not carry forward to others what you عليه السلام do not like them to do unto you عليه السلام, and if your عليه السلام right cheek is slapped then give him the left one. And come closer to Me عز وجل by the cordiality and your عليه السلام striving, and keep away from the ignorant ones. O Isa عليه السلام! Be humble to the people of good deeds and participate with them in it, and be a witness upon them and say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘O evil companions who are seated upon it, if you do not desist, I عز وجل will metamorphose you into monkeys and pigs. O Isa عليه السلام! Say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘The Wisdom weeps after being made to separate from Me عز وجل, and you are laughing by fleeing away from me. Has there come to you My عز وجل Disavowing, or have you found security from My عز وجل Punishment, or are you exposing yourselves to My عز وجل Punishment? I عز وجل Swear by Myself عز وجل that I عز وجل will Abandon you to be an example for the coming generations to learn a lesson from. Then I عز وجل Advise you عليه السلام, O son عليه السلام of Maryam عليه السلام the chaste virgin, of the (coming of) the Chief of the Rasools عليه السلام, and My عز وجل Beloved, so he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is Ahmad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the owner of the red camel, with a face illuminated with the light as bright as the full moon, and the one pure of the heart, and intensely valiant, the prestigious, for he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the Mercy to the Worlds, and the Chief of the children of Adam عليه السلام on the Day that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will meet Me عز وجل. The most honourable of the former ones to Me عز وجل, and the nearest one to Me عز وجل from the Rasools عليه السلام, the Arab, the trustworthy, the embodiment of My عز وجل Religion, the patient one in struggling against the Polytheists by his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم own self and hands for the sake of My عز وجل Religion. And inform the Children of Israel about him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and command them that they should ratify him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and believe in him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and follow him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and help him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم”. Isa عليه السلام said: ‘My عليه السلام God! Who is he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم that if I عليه السلام were to please him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم it would Please You عز وجل?’ He عز وجل Said: “He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم to all of the people. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the closest to Me عز وجل in status, and the presenter for the intercession. Tooba is for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم from the Prophets عليه السلام and Tooba for his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم community who will meet Me عز وجل whilst being upon his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم way. The inhabitants of the earth praise him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the inhabitants of the sky seek Forgiveness through him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. The trustworthy, the Entrusted one, the good, the blessed, the best of the remaining ones in My عز وجل Presence who will be in the end of times. When he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم comes out, the sky will loosen its rainfall and the earth will bring out its blossoms until they will see the Blessings, and I عز وجل will Bless for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم whatever that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم places his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم hand upon, one with many wives and few children. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will live at Bekka (Makkah), the place of foundation of Ibrahim عليه السلام. O Isa عليه السلام! his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Religion is the upright one (Al-Haneefa), and his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم direction (Qiblah) is the Right one, and he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is from My عز وجل Party, and I عز وجل am with him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So Tooba is for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Then again Tooba is for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is Al-Kawsar, and the great status in Gardens of Eden, living honourably, the ones that live in it, and he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will pass away as a martyr. For him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the Fountain greater than from Bakka (Makkah) up to the rising of the sun. In this are springs of a sealed drink (Al-Raheeq Al-Makhtoum) similar (in number) to the stars in the sky, and cups similar (in number) to the grains of the sands of the earth, sweetened in it from every drink and food of every fruit in the Paradise. The one, who drinks from it a drink, will never be thirsty ever again, and that is what I عز وجل have Apportioned for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and as a merit for him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم over the period in between you عليه السلام and him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم secret would be in accordance with his publicising, and his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم words would be his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم deeds. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will not command the people except by himself صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم doing it first. His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Religion is the Holy War in hardship as well as in ease. The cities would surrender to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the ruler of Rome would yield to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would be upon the Religion of Ibrahim عليه السلام. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will mention My صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم name during partaking of the food, and would express the greetings, and he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will Pray whilst the people are sleeping. Every day he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would Pray five Prayers calling out in sequence to the Prayer like the calling of the army by the slogan. And he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would open by the exclamation of the Takbeer, and he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would end by the greetings. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would keep his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم feet in a row during the Prayer just as the Angels keep their feet in a row. And he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would humble his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم heart before Me عز وجل, as well as his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم head. The ‘النُّورُ ’( the Divine Light) would be in his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم chest, and the truth would be upon his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم tongue, and he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would be on the truth wherever he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم may be. His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم origin would be as an orphan wandering for a while during his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم time for that which is required from him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم eyes would sleep but his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم heart would never sleep. For him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the intercession, and upon his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم community the Hour would be Established (Day of Judgement be made easy). And My عز وجل Hand is Above their hands, so the one who breaks (the Covenant) so he would have broken it against himself. And the one who is loyal to what has been Covenanted with him, I عز وجل would be Loyal to him with the Paradise. So command the unjust ones of the Children of Israel to study his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Books and not to alter his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Sunnah, and that they should send the greetings upon him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم for he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is upon the status more glorious than the glorious. O Isa عليه السلام! All that which brings you عليه السلام closer to Me عز وجل, I عز وجل have Evidenced it for you عليه السلام, and everything which distances you عليه السلام from Me عز وجل, so I عز وجل have Prohibited you عليه السلام from it, so refer to it for yourself عليه السلام. O Isa عليه السلام! The world is sweet, and I have Utilised you عليه السلام in it, so stay aside from what I عز وجل have Cautioned you عليه السلام from, and take from it what I عز وجل Give to you عليه السلام as a Gift. O Isa عليه السلام! Look into your عليه السلام affairs with a consideration of the sinful servant, the erroneous one, and do not look into the affairs of the other with the position of the Lord عز وجل. Become an ascetic therein and do not be allured with regards to it, for you عليه السلام would be corrupted. O Isa عليه السلام! Think, and ponder, and look around in the earth and see how the unjust ones had vanished from its (face). O Isa عليه السلام! All that I عز وجل have Described to you عليه السلام is Advice, and every Word of Mine عز وجل to you عليه السلام is ‘حَقٌّ’ Just, and I عز وجل am the ‘الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ’ Clear Just. So Truth is what I عز وجل Speak and if you عليه السلام were to disobey Me عز وجل after I عز وجل have Informed you عليه السلام, there will be no Guardian for you عليه السلام other than Myself عز وجل, nor a Helper. O Isa عليه السلام! Humble your عليه السلام heart by the reverence, and look to the one who is below you عليه السلام, and do not look to the one who is above you عليه السلام, and know that the head of every error and sin is the love of the world, so do not love it for I عز وجل do not Love it. O Isa عليه السلام! Perfume your عليه السلام heart for Me عز وجل and frequent My عز وجل Remembrance in the privacy, and know that My عز وجل Happiness is in your عليه السلام pleading to Me عز وجل, so be alive during that and not become as dead (heart). O Isa عليه السلام! Do not associate anything with Me عز وجل and be cautious from Me عز وجل, and do not be deceived by the (good) health and do not be envious for the world is like a fleeting shadow, and what approaches it is like what has been left behind from it. So compete in the righteous deeds with your عليه السلام striving, and be with the truth wherever it may be even though you عليه السلام may be cut and burnt by the fire. So do not disbelieve in Me عز وجل after the understanding, and do not become of the ignorant ones, for one ends up with that to which one associates. O Isa عليه السلام! Pour out your عليه السلام tears for Me عز وجل from your عليه السلام eyes, and humble your عليه السلام heart to Me عز وجل. O Isa عليه السلام! Cry out to Me عز وجل for help during difficult conditions, for I عز وجل Help the afflicted ones and I عز وجل Answer the restless, and I عز وجل the most Merciful of the merciful ones”.
