Al-FawāʾidIbn al-Qayyim

of estrangement.

Zayd ibn Aslam said: It used to be said, “Whoever fears Allah will be loved by people, even if they dislike it.” (1)

Al-Thawri said to Ibn Abī Dhīʾb: “If you fear Allah, people will be enough for you; but if you fear people, they will avail you nothing against Allah.” (2)

Solomon son of David said: “We have been granted what other people have been granted and what they have not, and taught what they have been taught and what they have not. Yet we have found nothing better than fearing Allah in private and in public, dealing justly in anger and in satisfaction, and exercising moderation in poverty and in wealth.” (3)

In al-Zuhd of Imām Aḥmad there is a Divine report: “No creature who seeks refuge in another creature instead of Me will do so without My severing from him every means in the heavens and the earth; if he asks of Me, I will not give him; if he calls upon Me, I will not answer him; and if he seeks My forgiveness, I will not forgive him. But no creature who seeks refuge in Me to the exclusion of My creation will do so without the heavens and the earth guaranteeing his provision; if he asks of Me, I will give him; if he calls upon Me, I will answer him; and if he seeks My forgiveness, I will forgive him.” (4)

(1) The report is found in Hilyat al-Awliya, vol. 3, p. 222. (2) The report is found in Hilyat al-Awliya, vol. 7, p. 68. (3) Cited by Ahmad in Az-Zuhd, p. 51, and by Abu Nuaym in Hilyat al-Awliya, vol. 7, p. 299, on his authority. (4) I could not trace it in Az-Zuhd. It is transmitted by Tamam in his Fawaid (no. 1700, al-Rawd al-Bassam) with a marfu chain from Kab ibn Malik, and by al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi. Al-Shajari likewise records it in his Amali, vol. 1, p. 223, through Jafar ibn Muhammad from his forefathers, but that version is fabricated.
وَحْشَةٌ. وقال زيدُ بنُ أسلم: كان يُقالُ: من اتَّقى الله أحبَّهُ الناس وإنْ كرِهوا (١). وقال الثوريُّ لابن أبي ذئبٍ: إن اتَّقَيْتَ الله كفاك الناس، وإن اتقيتَ الناسَ لن يُغْنوا عنك من الله شيئًا (٢). وقال سليمان بن داود: أُوتينا ممَّا أوتِيَ الناس وممَّا لم يُؤْتَوْا، وعُلِّمْنا مما عُلِّمَ الناسُ ومما لم يُعَلَّموا، فلم نجد شيئًا أفضل من تقوى الله في السرِّ والعلانية، والعدلِ في الغضبِ والرِّضى، والقصدِ في الفقرِ والغنى (٣). وفي "الزهد" للإمام أحمد (٤) أثرٌ إلهيٌّ: ما من مخلوقٍ اعْتصَمَ بمخلوق دوني إلَّا قطعتُ أسبابَ السماواتِ والأرضِ دونه؛ فإن سألني لم أُعْطِهِ، وإنْ دعاني لم أُجبْه، وإن استغفرَني لم أغفِرْ له. وما من مخلوقٍ اعتصمَ بي دون خَلْقيَ؛ إلا ضمنتِ السماواتُ والأرضُ رزقَه؛ فإنْ سألني أعطيتُهُ، وإنْ دعاني أجَبْتُهُ، وإن استغْفَرَني غفرتُ لهُ.

(٤) لم أجده في "الزهد"، وأخرجه تمام في فوائدة (١٧٠٠ - الروض البسام) عن كعب بن مالك مرفوعًا. والحكيم الترمذي. ورواه الشجري في أماليه (١/ ٢٢٣) عن جعفر بن محمد عن آبائه، وهي نسخة موضوعة.
