Letter (31): When he reached the place among the audience, he wrote this testament for Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) while returning from the Sufin.

This is the will of the father who is perishing, and the one who acknowledges the age (of the incisions of the hands). Whose age is behind him and who is helpless from the hardships of the age and has felt the evils of the world, and who lives in the houses of the dead and is going to make a journey from here tomorrow. F, the hand of time, the target of sufferings, bound by the world, and the trader of its deceptions, the debtor of death, the prisoner of life, the ally of sorrows, the companion of sadness and boredom, afflicted with calamities, incapable of self and the successor of the dead.. Later, you should know that the truth that I have recognized from the face of the world and the progress of the hereafter is enough for me to not have to worry about anything other than other mentions and my own concern, but at the same time I was lost and my wisdom and insight turned me away from desires and my case came to me openly, and really brought me to the truth and the absolute truth.. I saw that you are a part of me, but you are what I am, even if any calamity befalls you, it is as if it befalls me, and if death befalls you, it is as if it befalls me.. I bequeath you to fear Allah, to obey His commandments, to keep the heart alive with His remembrance, and to hold firmly to His rope. What can be a stronger bond than the bond between you and Allah? As long as you hold on to it firmly. To make light, to control him with the memory of death. If you see it, you will clearly see that they have turned their backs on their friends and gone to a foreign home, and it is not far that you will be counted among them, so manage your real destination. Don't take a step in this way, because it is better to stop taking steps when you see the wanderings of going astray. Reach out to Him. Cultivate understanding in religion. Be willing to endure hardships. Patience in the path of truth is the best behavior. Surrender yourself to Allah in every matter. Because by doing this you will entrust yourself to a strong refuge and a strong protector. Only ask your Lord, because it is only He who gives and does not give. And do not resist it. The good thing is that which gives benefit, and there is no good in that knowledge which is not beneficial and the learning of which is not punishable, no benefit can be taken from it.. O son! When I saw that I had reached the age of 10 and was getting worse day by day, I hastened to make a will and wrote down some important articles in it so that it would not happen that death overtakes me, or that the words of the heart remain in the heart, or that the intellect and opinion become weak like the body, or that some desires dominate you before the will, or that the entanglements of the world surround you so that you become a fiery camel. Be like that. Because the heart of a child is like the empty ground, in which it accepts the seed that is planted. Therefore, before your heart becomes hard and your mind gets involved in other things. You will be relieved from the hardships. And those things of experience and knowledge (without fatigue and effort) are reaching you that we were informed about and then those things are also being highlighted and are coming in front of you that some of them are possible. They have disappeared from our eyes.. O son! Although I did not live as long as the next people. Still, I saw their deeds, reflected on their situations and events, and traveled in the traces they left, even as if I had become one of them. Rather, because of all these situations and information that have reached me, it is as if I lived with them from the beginning to the end. Therefore, I have separated the clean from the dirty and the profit from the loss and now I am reserving the essence of everything for you and I have selected the virtues for you and kept the meaningless things apart from you. And since I care about everything about you as much as a compassionate father should and I also have your moral training in mind, I have considered it appropriate that this education and training should be in a state where you are a teenager and a child. May God bless you, and your intention is true and your soul is pure, and I wanted to teach the Book of God, the commands of Sharia, Halal and Haram first, and not to turn to other things. I found it better for you to strengthen the side. By this, I entrust you to a situation in which I am in danger of death and destruction for you, and I hope that Allah will guide you and guide you to the right path. For these reasons, I am writing you a will.. Remember son! Among the things that you have to abide by my will, the most important thing in my view is the piety of Allah, and that you should be satisfied with the duties that Allah has imposed on you, and keep walking on the path that your ancestors and your family members have been walking on. He also brought them to the same conclusion. Those who know their duties should be satisfied with them and refrain from irrelevant things. But if your soul is not ready to accept these things without acquiring knowledge from personal research as they did, then it is necessary that the style of your request should be to learn and understand and not to fall into doubt and get entangled in arguments and arguments and seek help from Allah before starting this concern and view. Be a suitor, and pray to him for success and confirmation, and protect yourself from the suspicion of every illusion that makes you doubt, or leaves you in error, and when it is certain that your heart is now purified and the ability to influence has been created in it, and the mind is completely prepared with equality, and your taste and passion have been concentrated on one point, then consider the problems that I have described before you. But according to your intention, the unity of heart and peace of mind have not been achieved, so understand that you are currently walking in this valley like a wandering camel and the one who is seeking religion (reality) does not wave his hands in the dark and does not argue wrongly. In this situation, it is better not to step into this valley.. Now, O children! Understand my will, and be sure that in the hand of him is death, in his hand is life, and he who creates is also the slayer, and he who destroys is also the giver of health, and in any case, the system of this world will remain what Allah has ordained for it. We don't know it, so whatever you don't understand about it, attribute it to your ignorance. Because when you were first born, you didn't know anything. Later you were taught, and now there are so many things that you are unaware of. Just worship Him, fear Him if you seek Him. O children! You should know that no one has presented the teachings of Allah Subhanah in such a way as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, therefore consider him as your guide and guide to salvation.. O children! Believe that if there was a partner of your Lord, His messengers would have been seen, and signs of His kingdom and dominion would have been seen, and His actions and attributes would have been known. It is higher and higher that the confirmation of His Lordship is associated with coming into the circle of the heart or eyes. When you have known this, then act as you should do to such a creature with your low status, low power and increased humility and great need towards your Lord, He has commanded you only those things which are good and has forbidden you those things which are bad.. O child! I have made you aware of the world and its condition and its instability and impermanence, and I have also made you aware of the comforts that are provided for the hereafter and those of the hereafter, and I also present examples of both of them to you, so that you may learn from them and follow their requirements. When they turned to a green place and a fresh and springy place, they suffered the difficulties of the way, endured the separation of friends, endured the hardships of the journey, and endured the bad taste of food in order to reach their destination and the permanent destination. The example of those who are deceived by the world is that of those who are in a lush green field and from there they get bored and turn to a place that is destroyed by droughts. For them, the worst accident will be that they leave the current situation and go to where they want to reach suddenly and in any case go there.. O son! In every matter between you and others, declare yourself to be the balance, do not wish for yourself. And what is your attitude towards people, consider the same attitude to be correct for yourself. Do not talk about what you do not know. Even if your knowledge is little. Do not say to others what you do not care to hear for yourself. Remember! If this happens, just humble yourself in front of your Lord to the extreme level. Look, there is a difficult and long way ahead of you, for which the search for the best son and the provision of adequate sustenance are necessary. that you will need it, if it is handed over to you, take it as a booty and put it on his back as much as you can. Because it is possible that you will look for such a person and not find him, and he is asking for a loan from you in the state of your wealth, on the promise that he will pay it when you are in need. So take it as a booty.. Remember! There is a difficult valley in front of you in which a light man will be in a better condition than a heavy man. And a slow person will be in a worse condition than a fast runner. And on this path, your destination will inevitably be heaven or hell. There will be no way to turn back to the world. Be sure that the one in whose possession are the treasures of the heavens and the earth has allowed you to ask questions and has taken the responsibility of accepting them and has ordered that you ask for mercy so that He will give it. He has not set up gatekeepers between him and you to stop you, nor has he forced you to bring someone here to intercede with him, and you have committed sins. You should have been disgraced, and he has not been strict with you in accepting repentance. The door is open. Whenever you call to Him, He listens to you and whenever you say something to Him in secret, He understands. You ask Him for your wishes and reveal the secrets of your heart to Him. Expansion in energy and sustenance and He has given you the keys to open His treasures in your hands in such a way that He tells you the way to ask in His presence. In this way, when you want to open the doors of His blessings through prayer. Shower the rays of His mercy. May the reward be increased, and the hopeful receives more donations, and sometimes it happens that you ask for one thing and it is not granted. But in this world or in the Hereafter, you get something better than it, or you are deprived of it in view of your better interests, because sometimes you ask for things that if they are given to you, your religion will be destroyed. Don't fall head over heels in love with the wealth of the world, then it will not be for you and you will not be for it.. Remember! You were born for the hereafter and not for this world, you were created for destruction, not for survival, you were made for death and not for life, you are in a destination where no part of it is right and you are in a house that is to provide equipment for the hereafter. And the only destination is the passage of the hereafter. Therefore, fear that death should come to you in the world of such sins for which you used to bring thoughts of repentance to your heart. Unless it becomes an obstacle between you and repentance. If this happens, then understand that you have destroyed your soul.. O son, you should always remember death and the other place that you have to enter suddenly and where you will reach after death, so that when it comes, you have completed your protective equipment and strengthened your strength for it, and it suddenly breaks on you to make you helpless and beware! Do not let the worldliness of the worldly people and their greed and greed that you see deceive you. has exposed its iniquities, the inhabitants of this (world) are barking dogs and ravenous beasts that tear at each other. The strong swallows up the weak and the strong crushes the small. They have no shepherd to look after them and no shepherd to feed them. The world has led them astray and closed their eyes from the tower of guidance.. Wait! Let the darkness pass. It is as if the riders have dismounted (in the Maidan Hashr). The time is not far for those who walk fast to meet their caravan, and it should be known that the person who is riding on the mixture of Lail and Nahar is staying in one place, but the distance is being covered and know with certainty that you will never be able to fulfill your desires. You are also on the path of your predecessors, so work with a gentle pace in demand and moderation in earning a living, because often the result of demand is the loss of wealth. It is not necessary that the one who is looking for sustenance will be successful, and the one who works moderately in his efforts will remain deprived. You will not be able to achieve it. Become slaves of others while Allah has made you free.. Be careful! Don't let the fast rides of greed and greed bring you to the pier of death. If possible, do it so that you don't let any divine blessing come between you and Allah, because you will be pure of your share and your destiny. The little that you get from Allah without asking for it is much better than the many that you get from the hands of creation, although in reality what you get is from Allah. The protection of what is in the vessel will be to keep your mouth closed and to keep what is in your hand safe. He talks too much, he begins to talk nonsense. He who takes steps with care sees (the right path). And illness becomes medicine. Sometimes the evil-doer makes the path of good and the friend is deceived. Beware! Don't sit on the support of hopes, because hopes are the capital of fools. Experience is the one who advises and seizes the opportunity of leisure. Before it becomes the cause of grief. Not everyone who tries and tries to achieve the goal, and not everyone who goes turns around. Losing the hope and spoiling the destiny is a waste and a disaster. Everything has a result and fruit. What is in your destiny will reach you. A businessman puts himself in danger. Sometimes a little wealth proves to be more blessed than a lot of wealth. There is no good in a low-minded helper, nor in a suspicious friend. As long as the ride of the times is under your control, be careful. Persuade him that when he breaks friendship, then you connect with him, if he turns away, then you go ahead and treat him kindly. If he is stingy for you, you spend on him.. But be careful not to behave inappropriately, and adopt this attitude in an unworthy manner. Do not make your friend's enemy a friend. Otherwise, you will be considered an enemy of your friend. Tell your friend words of honest advice, whether it is good for him or take a bitter sip of bad anger. Be gentle. Because with this attitude, he will become soft on his own. Block the enemy's way and plan through Lutfkaram. Because of the two types of success, this is the more fun success. Whoever has good faith towards you, prove his good faith to be true. Do not destroy the rights of any of your brothers on the basis of mutual relations. Because then, where is the brother whose rights you destroyed. It should not be that your family members become the most unfortunate in the world at your hands. Whoever does not like to maintain relations with you, do not lose his desire. I take revenge on him, and if he behaves badly, then you should be better than him in good behavior. Don't let the oppression of the oppressor pass you by, because he is active for his own loss and your benefit.. O child! Believe that sustenance is of two kinds, one that you seek, and one that is engaged in your search. Even if you do not go towards it, it will come to you. It's a habit. Take only that much of the world as yours, with which you can beautify your future. If you complain about everything that passes through your hands, then feel sorry for everything that you didn't get. Make assumptions about future situations from the current situation. And animals do not obey without kicks. Remove the broken grief and sadness with the maturity of patience and good faith. He who leaves the middle path, he goes astray. A friend is like a dear friend. A true friend is one who makes friendship even behind his back. It is necessary to be troubled by the desire. A foreigner is one who has no friends, one who transgresses the truth, his path becomes narrow. One who does not advance beyond his status, his dignity remains intact. The most powerful resource in your hands is that which is between you and Allah. He who does not care about you is your enemy. Sometimes the sighted person loses the right path and the blind person takes the right path. Because you can move towards it when you want. Breaking the territory with the ignorant is equal to connecting with the wise who is satisfied by trusting the world, the world betrays him, and the one who looks at it with the eyes of greatness humiliates him. Be careful! Don't bring ridiculous things into your conversation. Even if they are quotations. Give, and if it happens, do it so that she does not recognize anyone other than you. Do not entrust a woman with other powers except her personal affairs, because a woman is a flower, she is not driven and ruled. Appoint one person among your servants who you can answer to. In this way, they will not defer your actions to each other. Respect your nation and tribe. Because they are your props from which you fly and are the foundations that you rely on. And those are your hands with which you attack. I submit your religion and your world to Allah and I ask Him for a good decision for you in the present and the future and in this world and the hereafter.. And peace.
