ﷺ:قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
إِنَّ اللَّه تَعَالَى
قَالَ:
Indeed, Allah Most High says:
مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيّاً
فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ
Whoever fights a Wali (Saint) of
Mine, I declare war on him!
وَ مَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُ
عَلَيْهِ
And the most beloved of actions My
servant can do to come closer to Me,
are those actions that I made Fard
(obligatory) on him!
وَ مَا يَزالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقرَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهْ
Thereafter, my servant continues
coming closer to Me
through Nawafil (voluntary)
actions until I love him!
فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ
And when I love him, I become his
hearing by which he hears!
وَ بَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ
And his sight by which he sees!
وَ يَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا
And his hand by which he strikes!
وَ رِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا
And his leg by which he walks!
وَ إِنْ سَأَلَنِي أَعْطَيْتَهُ
And if he asks me for anything, I will
give it to him!
وَ لَئِنْ إِسْتَعَاذَنِي لَأُعِيذَنَّهُ
And if he seeks my protection, I will
grant it to him!
