Fulfilling the Commands That Were Specific to Him

امتثال نمودن خطاباتي كه مخصوص او بود

چون اين مقدمه‌ها معلوم شد، مي‌گوئيم كه جناب خامس آل عبا حضرت سيد [ صفحه 180] الشهداء امتثال نمود خطابي را كه از جانب الهي مخصوص او بود در آن صحيفه‌ي مختومه كه جبرئيل آورد و به پيغمبر داد، پس پيغمبر (صلي الله عليه و آله) آنرا به حضرت اميرالمؤمنين (عليه‌السلام) داد و او به امام حسن (عليه‌السلام) داد و او به جناب امام حسين (عليه‌السلام) داد پس عمل نمود بخطابي كه مخصوص او بود [488] و به سبب اين امتثال حاصل مي‌شود از براي متوسلين به آن جناب امتثال جميع خطابات ارشاديه و تكليفيه.و متحمل گرديد مصيبتي را كه سبب آن عطا شد به آن جناب اجري كه موجب است از براي متمسك به آن حضرت، رفع جميع مصيبتها كه از فروع آن نجات از عقبات است، و در وقت امتثال آن خطاب خاص مخاطب به خطابي شد كه به سبب آن رفع مي‌شود از متوسلين به او خطابات تعجيزيه و تهكميه، پس به سبب وسائل او حاصل مي‌شود امر به طاعات، نماز و روزه و صدقه و حج و عمره و جهاد و زيارت يعني ثواب اينها را به او مي‌دهند، بلكه ثواب اعلاي افراد آنها كه مستور است صدورش از تو، بلكه گاهي حاصل مي‌شود به آن ثواب اعلاي افرادي كه تصور نمي‌شود وقوع آن از تو مثل حج و جهاد در ركاب حضرت پيغمبر (صلي الله عليه و آله)، بلكه گاهي حاصل مي‌شود از براي تو به حسب كميت آنه ممكن نيست از تو واقع شود، مانند صد حج، مثلا در ميان وسائل آن حضرت چيزي است كه به سبب آن ثواب صد هزار حج از براي تو نوشته مي‌شود [489] بلكه در يك زيارت به هر قدمي صد هزار حج است [490] و از اين بالاتر آنكه گاهي حاصل مي‌شود تو را چيزي كه ممكن نيست وقوع آن في نفسه مثلا كشته شدن و بخون آغشته شدن در راه خدا ممكن نيست مگر يك دفعه و از جمله وسائل امري است كه ثواب آن هزار مرتبه كشته شدن در راه خدا به تو مي‌دهند [491] پس به اين امور جميع مصيبتهاي متحققه‌ي تو رفع مي‌شود. [ صفحه 181] و از تو دفع مي‌شود بلياتي كه مترقب آنها هستي، و عقبات بر تو سهل مي‌گردد و از هولها و ترسها ايمن مي‌شوي در اين راهي كه پيش داري، و امتثال جميع خطابات ارشاديه و تكليفيه مي‌شود، و آثار صفات محموده به تو داده مي‌شود، و درهاي بهشت كه بر رويت بسته‌اي گشوده مي‌شود، و درهاي آتش كه باز كرده‌اي بسته مي‌گردد، و آتشهايي كه الآن بر تو احاطه نموده خاموش مي‌شود، و به آن درجات و ارتفاع درجات، بلكه رفع درجات حاصل مي‌گردد، بلكه مقامي كه تصور آن نمي‌شود به تو مي‌دهند.و خوب است كه اندكي اين مطالب را توضيح نمائيم.پس گوش خود را بدار و دل خود را جمع كن و بشنو اين كلمات را كه الآن خطابهاي بسيار به تو متوجه است كه بايد از عهده‌ي آنها برآئي پس از خواب غفلت بيدار شو كه چند روزي ديگر حالت قيامت صغري به تو متوجه است كه در آن خطابهائي كه بسوي تو خواهد رسيد، كه چه قدر سخت است، و از عاقبت حذر نما كه عنقريب قيامت كبري كه محشر است، برپا شود.خطابهاي سخت به تو متوجه مي‌شود كه چه قدر مخوف و مهول و عظيم و سخت است، و به وسائل حسيني امتثال جميع خطابات مي‌شود و همه‌ي امور سهل و آسان مي‌گردد، و بيان آن به بيان سه كيفيت است:

Fulfilling the Commands That Were Specific to Him

When these Muqaddamaat (preliminary matters) have become clear, we say that the Fifth of the People of the Cloak, Sayyid al-Shuhadāʾ (a.s.),

[ صفحه 180]

fulfilled the command that had been specifically assigned to him from the Divine side in that sealed scroll which Jibrāʾīl brought and gave to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) gave it to Ameer al-Mu'mineen (a.s.), and he gave it to Imam Hasan (a.s.), and he gave it to Imam Husain (a.s.). Then he acted according to the command that had been specifically assigned to him. [488]

Through this fulfillment, there is obtained for those who seek refuge in him and attach themselves to him the fulfillment of all the Irshaadi (guiding) and Taklifi (obligatory) commands.

And he bore a calamity because of which there was granted to him a reward that becomes the cause for every person who holds fast to him to have all calamities removed, one of the branches of which is salvation from the difficult stages and obstacles.

And at the time of fulfilling that special command, he was addressed with a command by means of which the reproachful and impossible commands directed toward people are removed from those who seek refuge in him.

Thus, through his means, there is obtained the command toward acts of obedience—prayer, fasting, charity, Hajj, ʿUmrah, Jihād, and Ziyārah—that is, their reward is granted to him. Rather, one receives the reward of the highest forms of these acts, the performance of which by oneself is concealed from and unattainable for one.

Indeed, at times one receives through him the reward of the highest acts whose occurrence from oneself cannot even be imagined, such as Hajj and Jihād in the company of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).

Rather, at times one receives, in terms of quantity, rewards that are impossible for one to perform, such as one hundred Hajj. For example, among the means connected to him is something through which the reward of one hundred thousand Hajj is written for a person. [489]

Indeed, in a single ziyārah, for every step there is the reward of one hundred thousand Hajj. [490]

And greater than this is that sometimes one receives something whose occurrence is impossible in itself. For example, being killed and drenched in blood in the path of Allah is only possible once. Yet among his means is an act for which one is given the reward of being killed in the path of Allah one thousand times. [491]

Therefore, through these matters all of your existing calamities are removed.

[ صفحه 181]

And from you are repelled the afflictions that you are awaiting. The difficult stages become easy for you. You become secure from terrors and fears upon the road that lies before you. The fulfillment of all the Irshaadi (guiding) and Taklifi (obligatory) commands is achieved. The effects of praiseworthy qualities are granted to you. The doors of Paradise that you have closed upon yourself are opened. The doors of the Fire that you have opened are shut. The fires that presently surround you are extinguished.

And through this there is attained rank and elevation of rank, indeed the raising of ranks. Rather, a station is granted to you whose very conception is beyond imagination.

And it is appropriate that we explain these matters a little.

Therefore, lend your ear, gather your heart, and listen to these words.

At this very moment many commands are directed toward you, and you must fulfill them. Therefore awaken from the sleep of heedlessness, for in a few days the state of the minor resurrection (Qayaamat Sughra) will confront you, in which addresses and calls will reach you whose severity is immense.

And beware of the final outcome, for soon the major resurrection (Qayaamat Kubra), which is the gathering place of mankind, shall be established.

Severe addresses will be directed toward you—how fearful, terrifying, immense, and difficult they are.

But through the Wasaael Husainiyah (Imam Husain (a.s.)ī means), all commands are fulfilled and all affairs become easy and simple.

And the explanation of this is through the explanation of three conditions:
