Al-Mostafi is one of us
[O, people
of Badr, O, companions of Ahmed
Who would be the food and the drink, for the hearts] 46/1
[Al-Mostafi
[the
one
who chooses] is one of us; Imams of his companions
by his hand, you can get close or far]
46/2
Let's continue what we have
started about 'the people of Badr', the people of the moon in its
fullness, when it is called 'Badr'. They are the companions of
Ahmed. We said that such an honorable name- Ahmed- indicates the
truths. They are in the company of the truth of the truths
[PPBUH],
to whom Allah has revealed the unknown of the past, the present and
the future till the Day of Judgment. He is the drink of knowledge
and love to our hearts and the food of piety to our hereafter.
Al-Mostafi
[the
one
who chooses] is one of us - the
people of the House [Ahl-al-Bait]- the Imams of his companions - who
truly saw him even in dreams, as Satan can never impersonates him [PPBUH].
Some of them even see him, while they are awake. Thanks to those
Imams and their behavioral course, there can be seeing for the
Beloved [PPBUH]
and getting close to him. He is the one who chooses them and stops
the harm of strong revelations so that eternal closeness is
achieved. In this regards, sayydi Fakhreddin says:
[Revealing
has
unbearable drink
and stopping the harm of the revealing is our profession]
15/35
 Such
revealing has a drink from which souls quench with the knowledge of
the high truths. If this drink is poured at once over the seeker, he
will drown. The beloved and his caliphs [successors] and heirs, in
all ages, play the role of electrical transformers that transform
the high power to a power tolerated by the radio, for instance, or
the small machines which might be set to fire if exposed to a high
power. The beloved plays the role of the electrical transformer to
caliphs and sheikhs who in turn play the same role to their seekers.
Examine the state of the beloved [PPBUH],
when Qur'an was revealed to him, even when he [PPBUH]
was the only one qualified to receive it, and how could he give it
to his companions in a tolerable state. Examine how Moses [PBUH]
objected to the truths that Allah has taught his servant, al-Khidr [PBUH],
before he knew that they were upon the command of Allah, Almighty.
This story is mentioned in Qur'an. Also examine how Allah confined
this knowledge to servants after qualifying them with mercy. So, the
prophet Moses [PBUH],
to whom Allah has spoken and who is one of "the prophets with will",
says to al-Khidr [PBUH]
[May I follow you on condition that you teach me of the
guidance which you have been taught?]
al-Kahf
18:66.
This is a clear evidence from Quran that such knowledge has its
qualified people and objecting to it is an objection to what Allah
has stated in His Holy Book.
He
preventing and detaining this drink from those deniers who deny the
knowledge of the truth and interpretation is because of their
rejection of accepting the guidance, i.e. from their side. This is
the driving away [Surely you wilt not be able to guide whom
you love; but Allah guides whosoever wishes; and He knows best those
who would accept guidance]
al-Qasas
28:56,
you My beloved will not guide whom you like but Allah will rightly
guide who loves you.
Then he [AAH]
says:
[How
many
states have vanished, but we, for him
have dominated and so did a state and servants]
46/3
[And
such days We cause to alternate among men]
Aal-Emran
3:140.
But the state of the Truth of the saint servants, who got the truth,
and who are protected from fear and sorrow, is the dominating one
because of their following to the Prophet [PPBUH]
and because his lightened them.
Then he [AAH]
says:
[The
promise is true, and He has the angels
and he is the Owning Master while all of them are soldiers]
46/4
He [AAH]
says: that Allah has promised you, the people of Badr, victory, and
His promise is the truth. He has the angels i.e. the angels are
there for him ready to execute his orders as he is their Owning
Master - their Lord and Master and they are all soldiers i.e.
supporters and helpers and He does not need anyone of the whole
worlds.
This
promise is presented in the holy verse [And when Allah
promised you one of the two parties, that it should be yours, and
you wished that the one without sting should be yours, but Allah
desired to establish the truth by His words and to cut off the root
of the disbelievers]
al-Anfal
8:7.
You wanted the caravan and the easy wining without Jihad with war -
which is called sting because of the sharpness of the weapons. The
people of interpretation say that fighting the self is the greater
Jihad, as the Prophet [PPBUH]
told us, and the promise of Allah was for victory over our enemies
who are the worldly life, the subjectivity, the self, and Satan. And
that Allah, Almighty, will help and support us with the support of
the angels, as he supported the people of Badr [AAT]
all, in all ages and all times.
Then he [AAH]
says:
[Speech
about you can not be enough
Indeed, the seas would be ink for mentioning you]
46/5
As saying
can not satisfy their rights because of what they had of good
manners and obedience to the honorable Messenger [PPBUH].
They have been mannered with the morals of Allah, Almighty, and they
became dyed with the dye of Allah [and who has a better dye
 than
Allah]
al-Baqarah
2:138,
until they heard with His hearing and saw with His sight. So they
were characterized with His characters [Surely, those who
believe and do good deeds, will have Gardens of Paradise for an
abode € Wherein they will abide; they will not desire any change
therefrom € Say, 'If the ocean became ink for the words of my Lord,
surely, the ocean would be exhausted before the words of my Lord
came to an end, even though We brought the like thereof as further
help']
al-Kahf
18:107-109.
Sayydi ibn
Ageeda [AAH]
says about the signs: that those who believed the belief of the
special ones, and did the deeds of the of the special ones which
is the work that gets closer to Hadra would get the paradise of
knowledge as dwelling. Wherein they will abide; they will not desire
any change there from, because whoever managed the knowledge will
not be isolated from it, with Allah's grace and generosity. Then
they will promote in the ascenders of the unification and the
secrets of the uniqueness, for always and for ever with no ending.
As their promotion is with the word of the Eternal Power, which is
the word of creation that can not be exhausted [Say, 'If the
ocean became ink for the words of my Lord
] the verse. All
this with them still be humans.
End of
words of ibn Ageeba.
So whoever is characterized with the morals of Allah, Almighty,
until He becomes his hearing, sight, and tongue, becomes a word of
the words of Allah that do not exhaust. They would have reached the
eternity after they had vanished themselves in Him, Almighty. Then
talking about them will not be enough because they became with a
great share of the morals of Allah acquired it after his revealing
for them.
[and if
hell hears a talk about you
it will be put off and its flames will be ashes]
46/6
It was
narrated about the Beloved [PPBUH]
that he said (the calumny is asleep, may Allah damn whoever wakes
it up). We hear some people say that this Hadith is week, but we
say to them: do you love the affliction that Allah says about it [for
slander is worse than killing]?
al-Baqara
2:191.
we say that; as long as the talk ass said by one of the scholars,
and was approved by some of them, then you should look into its
content. If it was encouraging you to do some virtue or some useful
work, then why do not you work with it?
 As
we talk about the people of Badr you can read the following verses [And
fight them until there is no calumny and religion is wholly for
Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is Watchful of what
they do € And if they turn their backs, then know that Allah is your
Protector. What an excellent Protector and what an excellent Helper!]
al-Anfal 8:39-40.
So who can put off this calumny, if these great companions could
not? It was narrated about the blessings with the names of the
people of al-Kahf [the cave], what was narrated by the historian
Hafiz ibn Toloun in his book "the Ammunition of the Palace" in the
biography of Mohamed ibn Ibrahim ibn Moflig the Raminian, al-Salihy,
from Damascus, and al-Hanbaly, he wrote the following:
I recited
to him the poetry that I found with the hand writing of the scholar
Shehabeddin ibn Heggy from Damascus who said:
[the
first name, if you write it on a piece of cloth, then you throw it
in the middle
of a fire, it will put off its flames immediately, and they
say it was proved]
Sorry for
saying just one verse of the poem for shortening. If this is the
condition of the people of al-Kahf [the cave], then what about those
who escaped with their religion with the greatest Prophet and
Messenger [PPBUH]?
So if we have a calumny and we mentioned their scented biography and
their actions with the Honorable Prophet [PPBUH]
and narrated from them the Hadiths that can not be trusted except
with the names of trusted narrators who are known for their honesty
and truthfulness. As when their names are heard with the Hadith we
believed it and obeyed its orders, then we would put off the calumny
in its cradle. How many fires where put off because of mentioning
their names?
May Allah
benefit us with them in this worldly life and the hereafter and may
we be brought with them in the Judgment Day, Amen.
And to
another issue, ISA, to continue the talk about the pearls of Imam
Fakhreddin, and Prayers be upon the one sent a mercy to the worlds
and all his household and companions.
