1901. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FRIENDS OF ALLAH

(أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ * الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ) .1

"Look! The friends of Allah will indeed have no fear nor will they grieve. Those who have faith, and are Godwary." 2

6802.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنّ أولياءَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الذينَ نَظَروا إلى‏ باطِنِ الدُّنيا إذا نَظَرَ النّاسُ إلى‏ ظاهِرِها ، واشتَغَلوا بآجِلِها إذا اشتَغَلَ النّاسُ بعاجِلِها ، فأماتُوا مِنها ما خَشَوا أن يُميتَهُم ، وتَرَكوا مِنها ما عَلِموا أنّهُ سَيَترُكُهُم ، وَرأوا استِكثارَ غَيرِهِم مِنها استِقلالاً ، وَدَركَهُم لَها فَوتاً ، أعداءُ ما سالَمَ النّاسُ ، وسِلمُ ما عادَى النّاسُ ! بِهِم عُلِمَ الكِتابُ وبِهِ عَلِموا ، وبِهِم قامَ الكِتابُ وبهِ قاموا ، لا يَرَونَ مَرجُوّاً فَوقَ ما يَرجُونَ ، ولا مَخُوفاً فَوقَ ما يَخافونَ .3

6802.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The friends of Allah are those who look at the inward aspect of the world while the other people look at its outer aspect; they busy themselves with its remoter benefits while the other people busy themselves in the immediate benefits. They kill those things which they fear would have killed them, and they abandon here in this world what they believe would abandon them. They take the amassing of wealth by others as a small matter and regard it as a loss. They are enemies of those things which others love while they love things which others hate. Through them the Qur'an has been learnt and they have been given knowledge through the Qur'an. With them the Qur'an is staying while they stand by the Qur'an. They do not see any object of hope above what they hope in and no object of fear above what they fear.' 4

6803.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : يا أبا بَصيرٍ ، طُوبى‏ لِشِيعَةِ قائمِنا المُنتَظِرِينَ لِظُهورِهِ في غَيبَتِهِ ، والمُطيعينَ لَهُ في ظُهورِهِ ، اُولئكَ أولِياءُ اللَّهِ الّذينَ لا خَوفٌ علَيهِم ولا هُم يَحزَنونَ .5

6803.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'O Abu Basir, blessed be the followers [Shia] of our Awaited Saviour [Qaim] who wait for his appearance during his occultation, and obey him when he reappears. They are the friends of Allah who indeed have no fear nor will they grieve.' 6
