التَّحذيرُ مِن مَخافَةِ غَيرِ اللّه‏ِ Caution Against Fearing Other than Allah

25ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : ما سلّطَ اللّه‏ُ على ابنِ آدَمَ إلّا مَن خافَهُ ابنُ آدَمَ ، ولَو أنّ ابنَ آدَمَ لَم يَخَفْ إلّا اللّه‏َ ما سَلّطَ اللّه‏ُ علَيهِ غَيرَهُ ولا وُكِلَ ابنُ آدَمَ إلّا إلى مَن رَجاهُ ، ولَو أنّ ابنَ آدَمَ لَم يَرْجُ إلّا اللّه‏َ ما وُكِلَ إلى غَيرِهِ.

25– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Allah does not empower anyone over man except one whom he fears. If man was to fear none but Allah, Allah would not allow anyone else to dominate him other than Himself. Man is not assigned to anyone except him in whom he places his hope and if he hopes in none but Allah, he will not be assigned to anyone other than Him.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 5909]

 

26ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : طُوبى لِمَن شَغَلَهُ خَوفُ اللّه‏ِ عَن خَوفِ النّاسِ.

27ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : لا تَخَفْ في اللّه‏ِ لَوْمَةَ لائمٍ.
