حکمت 31: ۱- شناخت اقسام ایمان ایمان بر چهار پایه استوار… · Saying 31

وَ سُئِلَ (عليه السلام) عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ فَقَالَ

الْإِيمَانُ عَلَي أَرْبَعِ دَعَائِمَ عَلَي الصَّبْرِ وَ الْيَقِينِ وَ الْعَدْلِ وَ الْجِهَادِ وَ الصَّبْرُ مِنْهَا عَلَي أَرْبَعِ شُعَبٍ عَلَي الشَّوْقِ وَ الشَّفَقِ وَ الزُّهْدِ وَ التَّرَقُّبِ فَمَنِ اشْتَاقَ إِلَي الْجَنَّةِ سَلَا عَنِ الشَّهَوَاتِ وَ مَنْ أَشْفَقَ مِنَ النَّارِ اجْتَنَبَ الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ وَ مَنْ زَهِدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا اسْتَهَانَ بِالْمُصِيبَاتِ وَ مَنِ ارْتَقَبَ الْمَوْتَ سَارَعَ إِلَي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ الْيَقِينُ مِنْهَا عَلَي أَرْبَعِ شُعَبٍ عَلَي تَبْصِرَةِ الْفِطْنَةِ وَ تَأَوُّلِ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ مَوْعِظَةِ الْعِبْرَةِ وَ سُنَّةِ الْأَوَّلِينَ فَمَنْ تَبَصَّرَ فِي الْفِطْنَةِ تَبَيَّنَتْ لَهُ الْحِكْمَةُ وَ مَنْ تَبَيَّنَتْ لَهُ الْحِكْمَةُ عَرَفَ الْعِبْرَةَ وَ مَنْ عَرَفَ الْعِبْرَةَ فَكَأَنَّمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْعَدْلُ مِنْهَا عَلَي أَرْبَعِ شُعَبٍ عَلَي غَائِصِ الْفَهْمِ وَ غَوْرِ الْعِلْمِ وَ زُهْرَةِ الْحُكْمِ وَ رَسَاخَةِ الْحِلْمِ فَمَنْ فَهِمَ عَلِمَ غَوْرَ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَنْ عَلِمَ غَوْرَ الْعِلْمِ صَدَرَ عَنْ شَرَائِعِ الْحُكْمِ وَ مَنْ حَلُمَ لَمْ يُفَرِّطْ فِي أَمْرِهِ وَ عَاشَ فِي النَّاسِ حَمِيداً

وَ الْجِهَادُ مِنْهَا عَلَي أَرْبَعِ شُعَبٍ عَلَي الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ النَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الصِّدْقِ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ وَ شَنَآنِ الْفَاسِقِينَ فَمَنْ أَمَرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ شَدَّ ظُهُورَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَنْ نَهَي عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ أَرْغَمَ أُنُوفَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ مَنْ صَدَقَ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ قَضَي مَا عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ شَنِئَ الْفَاسِقِينَ وَ غَضِبَ لِلَّهِ غَضِبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ أَرْضَاهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

وَ الْكُفْرُ عَلَي أَرْبَعِ دَعَائِمَ عَلَي التَّعَمُّقِ وَ التَّنَازُعِ وَ الزَّيْغِ وَ الشِّقَاقِ فَمَنْ تَعَمَّقَ لَمْ يُنِبْ إِلَي الْحَقِّ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَ نِزَاعُهُ بِالْجَهْلِ دَامَ عَمَاهُ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَ مَنْ زَاغَ سَاءَتْ عِنْدَهُ الْحَسَنَةُ وَ حَسُنَتْ عِنْدَهُ السَّيِّئَةُ وَ سَكِرَ سُكْرَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ مَنْ شَاقَّ وَعُرَتْ عَلَيْهِ طُرُقُهُ وَ أَعْضَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُهُ وَ ضَاقَ عَلَيْهِ مَخْرَجُهُ وَ الشَّكُّ عَلَي أَرْبَعِ شُعَبٍ عَلَي التَّمَارِي وَ الْهَوْلِ وَ التَّرَدُّدِ وَ الِاسْتِسْلَامِ فَمَنْ جَعَلَ الْمِرَاءَ دَيْدَناً لَمْ يُصْبِحْ لَيْلُهُ وَ مَنْ هَالَهُ مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ نَكَصَ عَلَي عَقِبَيْهِ وَ مَنْ تَرَدَّدَ فِي الرَّيْبِ وَطِئَتْهُ سَنَابِكُ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ مَنِ اسْتَسْلَمَ لِهَلَكَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ هَلَكَ فِيهِمَا.

قال الرضي: و بعد هذا كلام تركنا ذكره خوف الإطالة و الخروج عن الغرض المقصود في هذا الكتاب.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, was asked about faith when he said: Faith stands on four supports: on endurance, on conviction, on justice and on jihad. Endurance again has four aspects: eagerness, fear, abstention (from the world) and anticipation (of death). So, whoever is eager for Paradise will ignore the passions; whoever fears the Fire (of Hell) will refrain from prohibited acts; whoever abstains from the world takes hardships lightly; and whoever anticipates death will hasten towards good deeds. Convicition also has four aspects: prudent perception, intelligence and understanding, drawing lessons from instructive things and following the precedents of past people. So, whoever perceives with prudence, wise knowledge will be manifest to him, and to whomsoever wise knowledge becomes manifest he appreciates instructive objects, and whoever appreciates instructive objects he is just like past people. Justice also has four aspects: keen understanding, deep knowledge, a good power of decision and firm forbearance. Therefore, whoever understands comes to acquire depth of knowledge; whoever acquires depth of knowledge drinks from the spring of judgement; and whoever exercies forbearance never commits evil actions in his affairs and leads a praiseworthy life among the people. jihad also has four aspects: to ask others to do good, to keep away others from doing evil, to fight (in the way of Allah) sincerely and firmly on all occasions, and to detest the vicious. So, whoever asks others to do good provides strength to the believers; whoever desists others from evil humiliates the unbelievers; whoever fights sincerely on all occasions discharges all his obligations; and whoever detests the vicious and becomes angry for the sake of Allah, then Allah will be angry in favour of him and will keep him and will keep him pleased on the Day of Judgement. Unbelief stands on four supports: hankering after whims, mutual quarrelling, deviation from the truth, and dissension. So, whoever hankers after whims does not incline towards right; whoever quarrels much on account of ignorance remains permanently blinded from the right; whoever deviates from truth, for him good becomes evil and evil becomes good and her remains intoxicated with misguidance; and whoever makes an breach (with Allah and His Messenger), his path becomes difficult, his affairs become complicated and his way of escape becomes narrow. Doubt has also four aspects: unreasonableness, fear, wavering and undue submission to every thing. So, he who adopts unreason ableness as his way, for him there is no dawn after the night; he who is afraid of what befalls him has to run on his heels; he who wavers in doubt Satans trample him under their feet: and he who submits to the destruction of this and the next world succumbs to it. as-Sayyid ar-Radi says: We have left out the remaining portion of this saying for fear of length and for being outside the purpose of this chapter.
