حکمت 369: روزگاری بر مردم خواهد آمد که از قرآن جز… · Saying 369
و درود خدا بر او فرمود: روزگاری بر مردم خواهد آمد که از قرآن جز نشانی، و از اسلام جز نامی، باقی نخواهد ماند، مسجدهای آنان در آن روزگار… Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: A time will come when nothing remain of the Qur'an except its writhing, and nothing of Islam…
وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): يَأْتِي عَلَي النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يَبْقَي فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا رَسْمُهُ وَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا اسْمُهُ وَ مَسَاجِدُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَامِرَةٌ مِنَ الْبِنَاءِ خَرَابٌ مِنَ الْهُدَي سُكَّانُهَا وَ عُمَّارُهَا شَرُّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُمْ تَخْرُجُ الْفِتْنَةُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ تَأْوِي الْخَطِيئَةُ يَرُدُّونَ مَنْ شَذَّ عَنْهَا فِيهَا وَ يَسُوقُونَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهَا إِلَيْهَا يَقُولُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ فَبِي حَلَفْتُ لَأَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَي أُولَئِكَ فِتْنَةً تَتْرُكُ الْحَلِيمَ فِيهَا حَيْرَانَ وَ قَدْ فَعَلَ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْتَقِيلُ اللَّهَ عَثْرَةَ الْغَفْلَةِ
Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: A time will come when nothing remain of the Qur'an except its writhing, and nothing of Islam except its name. The mosques in those days will be busy with regards to costruction but desolate with regard to guidance. Those staying in them and those visihing them will be the worst of all on earth. From them mischief will speing up and towards them all wrong will turn. If anyone isolates himself from it (mischief) they will fling him back to it and if anyone steps back from it they will push him towards it. Says Allah, the Glorified, (in hadith qudsi - i. e., the tradition in which Allah Himself speals): I swear by Myself that I shall send upon them an evil wherein the endurer would be bewildered, and He would do so. We seek Allah's pardon from stumbling through neglect.
