حکمت 417: بدون توجه لازم گفت: استغفرالله) مادرت بر تو بگرید،… · Saying 417

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): لِقَائِلٍ قَالَ بِحَضْرَتِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ، أَ تَدْرِي مَا الِاسْتِغْفَارُ، الِاسْتِغْفَارُ دَرَجَةُ الْعِلِّيِّينَ، وَ هُوَ اسْمٌ وَاقِعٌ عَلَي سِتَّةِ مَعَانٍ، أَوَّلُهَا النَّدَمُ عَلَي مَا مَضَي، وَ الثَّانِي الْعَزْمُ عَلَي تَرْكِ الْعَوْدِ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً، وَ الثَّالِثُ أَنْ تُؤَدِّيَ إِلَي الْمَخْلُوقِينَ حُقُوقَهُمْ حَتَّي تَلْقَي اللَّهَ أَمْلَسَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ تَبِعَةٌ، وَ الرَّابِعُ أَنْ تَعْمِدَ إِلَي كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ عَلَيْكَ ضَيَّعْتَهَا فَتُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّهَا، وَ الْخَامِسُ أَنْ تَعْمِدَ إِلَي اللَّحْمِ

الَّذِي نَبَتَ عَلَي السُّحْتِ فَتُذِيبَهُ بِالْأَحْزَانِ حَتَّي تُلْصِقَ الْجِلْدَ بِالْعَظْمِ وَ يَنْشَأَ بَيْنَهُمَا لَحْمٌ جَدِيدٌ، وَ السَّادِسُ أَنْ تُذِيقَ الْجِسْمَ أَلَمَ الطَّاعَةِ كَمَا أَذَقْتَهُ حَلَاوَةَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.

Someone said before Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him: "astaghfiru llah"(Iask Allah's forgiveness), them Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: Your mother may lose you! Do you know what"istighfar: (asking Allah's forgiveness) is? "istighfar"is meant for people of a igh position. It is a word that stands on six supports. The first is to repent over the past; the second is to make a firm determination never to revert to it; the third is to discharge all the rights of people so that you may meet Allah quite clean with nothing to account for; the fourth is to fulfil every obligation which you ignored (in the past) so that you may know do justice with it; the fifth is to aim at the flesh grown as a result of unlawful earning, so that you may melt it by grief (of repentance) till the skin touches the bone and a new flesh grows between with them; and the sixth is to make the body taste the pain if obedience as you (previously) made it taste the sweetness of disobedience. On such an occasion you may say"astaghfiru llah".
