The Attachment of Intense Connection

علاقه‌ي شدت اتصال

قسم دوم: علاقه‌ي شدت اتصال است نظر به اينكه هر گاه عضوي از انسان مريض شود [ صفحه 198] يا درد آيد تمام بدن در زحمت و الم است، و از اين قسم است گريه حورالعين بر آن جناب [535] در بهشت كه دارالسرور است زيرا كه ايشان از نور آنجناب خلق شده‌اند، پس چگونه مي‌شود كه آن حضرت بر روي خاك گرم با بدن مجروح در زير پاي مركبان افتاده باشد، و سرش بر سر نيزه و خونش بر زمين جاري، و دلش از تير سوراخ و جگرش از تشنگي تفتيده، و قلبش از مفارقت اولاد و برادران و اصحاب سوخته، مع ذلك حورالعين در قصور بهشتي به عيش و سرور مشغول باشند.و بعضي از اقسام گريه‌ي شيعيان از اين قسم است زيرا كه در خبري از حضرت صادق (عليه‌السلام) منقول است كه فرمودند: شيعيان ما از ما هستند و از فضل طينت ما خلق شده‌اند و به آب ولايت ما خمير شده‌اند، راضي شدند به اينكه ما ائمه‌ي ايشان باشيم و ما هم راضي هستيم كه ايشان شيعه‌ي ما هستند، مصيبت ما مصيبت ايشان است، گريان مي‌شوند بر صدمات ما و محزون مي‌شوند به حزن ما و مسرور مي‌گردند به سرور ما و ما هم متألم مي‌شويم به تألم ايشان و مطلع هستيم بر احوال ايشان، پس ايشان با ما خواهند بود و از ما جدا نمي‌شوند، ما هم از ايشان جدا نمي‌شويم پس فرمود: خدايا شيعيان ما از ما هستند، و هر كس ياد كند مصيبت ما را و گريان شود از براي ما، خدا او را عذاب نخواهد نمود. [536] .و در حديث ديگر از اميرالمؤمنين (عليه‌السلام) مروي است كه فرمود: بدرستي كه خداي تعالي اختيار نمود از براي ما شيعياني كه ياري مي‌كنند و مسرور مي‌شوند به سرور ما، و محزون مي‌گردند به حزن ما، و جان و مال خود را در راه ما مي‌دهند، ايشان از ما هستند، و ما هم از ايشان هستيم. [537] .و اين حديث شريف دلالت دارد بر اينكه مخلصين شيعه را خدا اختيار نموده است، چنانكه شهداء را اختيار نموده است پيش از شهادتشان.و از براي شيعه علاماتي است چنانكه پيغمبر (صلي الله عليه و آله) استدلال نموده از محبت [ صفحه 199] آن طفل كه خاك پاي حسين (عليه‌السلام) را بر چشم مي‌ماليد بر اينكه او از انصار حضرت خواهد بود در كربلا. [538] .مترجم گويد: آنچه در حديث است آن است كه حضرت از فعل آن طفل استدلال نمودند بر محبتش، و اما نصرتش را پس مستند فرمودند به اخبار جبرئيل، چنانكه گذشت - انتهي.حال بيائيد گريه كنيم به سبب اين علاقه اگر خود را شيعه مي‌شماريم، زيرا كه كسي كه گريه نكند به اين علاقه، از ايشان نخواهد بود.

The Attachment of Intense Connection

The second type is the attachment arising from intense connection, considering that whenever one limb of a person becomes ill,

[ صفحه 198]

or experiences pain, the entire body suffers distress and pain.

Among this type is the weeping of the Ḥūr al-ʿAyn for that noble Imam (a.s.) [535] in Paradise, which is the Abode of Joy.

This is because they were created from the light of that noble Imam (a.s.).

How then can it be that he lies upon the burning earth with a wounded body beneath the hooves of horses, while his head is raised upon a spear, his blood flowing upon the ground, his heart pierced by arrows, his liver scorched by thirst, and his soul consumed by separation from his children, brothers, and companions, yet the Ḥūr al-ʿAyn remain occupied in comfort and delight within the palaces of Paradise?

Some forms of the weeping of the Shiʿah belong to this category.

For it is narrated from Imam al-Ṣādiq (a.s.) that he said:

“Our Shiʿah are from us. They were created from the surplus of our clay (teenah), and they were kneaded with the water of our Wilāyah. They are pleased that we are their Imams, and we are pleased that they are our Shiʿah. Our calamity is their calamity. They weep over our afflictions, they grieve because of our sorrow, and they rejoice because of our joy. Likewise, we are pained by their pain and are aware of their conditions. Therefore they shall be with us and shall never be separated from us, and we shall never be separated from them.”

Then he said:

“اللَّهُمَّ شِيعَتُنَا مِنَّا، وَمَنْ ذَكَرَ مُصِيبَتَنَا فَبَكَى لَنَا لَمْ يُعَذِّبْهُ اللَّهُ.”

“O Allah, our Shiʿah are from us, and whoever remembers our calamity and weeps for us, Allah will not punish him.” [536]

In another narration from Ameer al-Muʾmineen (a.s.), it is reported that he said:

“Indeed Allah, the Exalted, has chosen for us Shiʿah who assist us, rejoice in our joy, grieve in our sorrow, and sacrifice their lives and wealth for our sake. They are from us, and we are from them.” [537]

This noble narration indicates that Allah has chosen the sincere Shiʿah just as He chose the martyrs before their martyrdom.

And the Shiʿah have signs by which they are recognized.

Just as the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) inferred, from the love of that child who would rub the dust of Imam Husain (a.s.)’s (a.s.) footprints upon his eyes,

[ صفحه 199]

that he would be among the supporters of Imam Husain (a.s.) in Karbalāʾ. [538]

The translator says: What is stated in the narration is that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) inferred from the action of that child the existence of his love. As for his future support, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) based that upon the information conveyed by Jibrāʾīl, as was mentioned previously. End.

Now let us weep because of this attachment, if indeed we count ourselves among the Shiʿah.

For whoever does not weep because of this attachment will not be among them.
