让我们回到这种疾病的治疗上来。这种疾病若持续下去，将会损害我们在今世和后世的潜能。应当知道，罪过会伤害犯罪者本人；它对心灵的伤害，如同毒药对身体的伤害，程度视所造成的损害而定。事实上，一个人在今世和后世所遭遇的一切恶事与伤害，都是由他自己的罪过和恶行所造成的。是什么把我们的始祖（亚当和夏娃，愿主喜悦他们）从乐园——那快乐、福祉与喜悦之地——驱逐到了痛苦、苦难与不幸之所？是什么原因使撒旦被逐出天堂，其外形与内在都遭到扭曲？安拉（SWT）使他变成了最丑陋可怖的模样，并使他怀有最邪恶的意图。安拉（SWT）收回了对他的慈悯，使他生活在祂的诅咒之下。安拉（SWT）将撒旦的居所从天堂更换为火狱，因为撒旦违抗了祂，并转而以物配主。撒旦因遵从自己的私欲、拒绝安拉的命令，而在安拉面前受到鄙弃，从而招致了祂的震怒。是谁使努哈（Noah）的所有族人溺毙，直到水淹没了山顶？是谁使风降临于阿德人，将他们、他们的居所和财产尽数毁灭，使他们成为后世直至复活日各民族的鉴戒？是谁发出了骇人的呼喊，撕裂不信者的心，将他们全部消灭？是谁将鸡奸者的村庄举向天空，直到天使听见了他们狗的吠声，然后将其倾覆，并以来自天上的有标记的石块将他们全部毁灭，给予他们一种前所未有的、任何其他民族都未曾遭受过的惩罚？是谁降下惩罚性的云彩如同遮阴之物于舒阿益布（Shu'aib）的族人头上，云彩一到他们头顶便向他们倾下炽烈的火？是谁使法老和他的族人沉没于海中，并将他们的灵魂带入火狱？ 是谁毁灭了古伦（科拉赫）、他的财产和家人？是谁毁灭了诺亚之后的所有民族，并以各种不同形式的惩罚对待他们？是谁派遣了被用于残酷战争的奴隶，进入以色列后裔的家园最深处，杀死他们的男人，掳走他们的妇女和孩子，焚烧他们的财产，劫掠他们的财富？是谁以多种不同的惩罚降临于以色列后裔：摧毁他们的家园，让残暴的统治者来统治他们，将他们变成猴子和猪，最后起誓（直到复活日，他们将持续派遣那些以屈辱的刑罚折磨他们的人去对付他们）？这一切都是真主所为。

Let us return to the cure of this ailment, which if it continues, would damage our potential in both this world and the Hereafter. It should be known that sins harm the doer; its harm to the heart is like the effect of poison on the body, according to the degree of the damage done. In fact, all evil and harm that one faces, in this world and the Hereafter, are caused by one's sins and misdeeds. What ousted our parents (Adam and Eve ~I) from Paradise, the place of pleasure, blessings and delight, to the dwelling of pain, torment and misfortune? What was the cause for the Satan to be kicked out of heaven , and have his external and internal forms distorted? Allah ~ disfigured him to a most horrible shape, and made him possess the most evil intentions. He ~ withdrew His Mercy from him and made him live under His Curse. He ~ replaced Satan's dwelling from Paradise to Hell , because Satan disobeyed Him ~ and turned to polytheism. He was despised in the Sight of Allah ~ . because he followed his own desires and rejected the Command of Allah ~ ' and so earned His Anger. Who as it who made all the people of the Noah drown until water reached the top of mountains? Who was it who set the wind on the people of 'Ad and destroyed them, their dwellings and property, until they became an example for other nations until the Day of Resurrection? Who was it who sent the awful cry to tear the hearts of the disbelievers and destroy them all? Who was it who lifted the villages of the homosexuals up in the sky, until the Angels heard the barking of their dogs , and then turned them upside down and destroyed them all with marked stones from the heavens, to give them a punishment not seen by any other nation before? Who was it who sent upon the people of Shu'aib ~\ punishing clouds like shades, which, once above their heads, rained down a blazing fire upon them? Who made Pharaoh and his people drown in the sea, and took their spirits to Hell? Who destroyed Qarun (Korab), his property and family? Who destroyed all the nations after Noah with different forms of punishments? Who dispatched slaves, who were given to terrible warfare, to the Children of Israel, entering the very innermost parts of their homes, killing their men, abducting their women and children, burning their properties and plundering their wealth? Who afflicted the Children of Israel with several different punishments: the destruction of their homes, setting oppressive rulers to them, transforming them into monkeys and pigs, and lastly by vowing: (to keep on sending against them, till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment) ? 1

伊玛目艾哈迈德说:"Al-Waleed bin Muslim 传述:Safwan bin 'Amru 叙述,由 Abdu-Rahman bin Jubayr bin Nafeer 叙述,他又从其父传述,其父说:'塞浦路斯被征服时,家庭被分离(皈依伊斯兰者与未皈依者分开),人们因分离而哭泣。我看见 Abu Darda' 独自哭泣,便问他:'Abu Darda' 啊,在安拉 ~ 使伊斯兰及其信徒得胜的日子,是什么使你哭泣?'他回答:'Jubayr 啊,你真可悲!当人们拒绝了安拉的命令,在他们曾经是一个有主权的民族之后,他们在安拉眼中是多么微不足道。他们背离了安拉的命令,所以这就是他们的结局。'" Ali bin Al-Ja'd 说:"Shu'bah 向我们传述,来自 Amru bin Murrah,他说:'我听见 Abu Al-Bukhturi 说:"有人告诉我,先知ﷺ说:'人们不会被毁灭,直到他们(试图)为自己辩白。'" Umm Salamah ~ 说:"我听见安拉的使者ﷺ说:'当罪恶在我的乌玛中蔓延时,安拉 ~ 将降下惩罚于他们。'我问:'安拉的使者啊!那时难道他们中间不会有一些虔诚的人吗?'他ﷺ回答:'会有的。'我说:'那么,安拉 ~ 将如何对待这些人(虔诚者)?'他ﷺ回答:'他们会和其他人一样遭受惩罚,但之后他们将获得安拉的慈悯。'" Al-Hasan ~ 传述,先知ﷺ说:"这个乌玛将持续处于安拉 ~ 的庇护之下,只要它的学者不支持其统治者,它的虔诚者不为其作恶者辩护,它的善良者不轻视其邪恶者。(但)如果他们那样做,安拉 ~ 将收回对他们的援助,并使压迫的统治者来攻击他们,以可怕的刑罚折磨他们。" Thawan ~ 传述,先知ﷺ说:"一个人会因他所犯的罪而被剥夺一项恩典。" 1 他也转述道,先知ﷺ说:"在不久的将来,人们会相互召集来攻击你们,就像人们聚在一起吃饭时相互邀请、分享食物一样。"有人问:"那时候是因为我们人数少吗?"他回答:"不,那时你们的人数会很多,但你们就像被激流冲走的泡沫和垃圾一样。真主会从敌人的心中除去对你们的畏惧,并在你们心中注入持久的'瓦hn'(无力感)。"有人问:"真主的使者啊,什么是瓦hn(无力感)?"他ﷺ回答:"就是贪恋今世,厌恶死亡。" 2 安纳斯·本·马利克转述道,先知ﷺ说:"在我夜行登霄之旅中被送回地面时,我经过一些人,他们拥有铜制的指甲,用来抓挠自己的脸和胸膛。我问:'哲卜拉伊勒啊,这些人是谁?'他回答:'这些是诽谤者,他们恶意地传播别人的事情,揭露别人的私生活。'" 3 艾卜·胡莱赖familyre转述道,真主的使者ﷺ说:"在末世,会出现一些人,他们为了世俗目的而欺骗性地利用宗教,并在公众面前披着羊皮以显出温顺。他们的舌头比糖还甜,但他们的心却如同狼心。真主会说:'他们是想欺骗我,还是在对我放肆?我以自己发誓,我必将降下考验于这些人,使其中even聪明人也感到困惑。'" 4 伊本·艾卜·杜尼亚通过贾法尔·本·穆罕默德的传述,(传述自)其父,(传述自)其祖父,转述道:阿里说:"人们将会迎来这样一个时代:伊斯兰教中只剩下它的名称,《古兰经》中只剩下它的文字。他们的清真寺将座无虚席,但其中却缺乏正确的指引。" 他们的学者是邪恶的人;一场伊斯兰教中的试炼(fitnah)将从他们那里产生,并回到他们身上。"萨迈克·本·哈尔卜据阿卜杜·拉赫曼·本·阿卜杜拉·本·麦斯欧德的传述,其父说:"当淫乱和高利贷在一个国家中蔓延时,真主就会下令毁灭它。"哈桑在他的一封信中传述:"当人们显示他们拥有知识,却浪费了那种行动(落实所知);他们表达彼此相爱,而内心却相互憎恨;并断绝亲属关系时,他们就会遭受真主的诅咒,真主会使他们对(祂的引导)变得聋和瞎。"欧麦尔·本·哈塔卜(愿真主喜悦他)说:"我是一群迁士中的第十个人,我们去见先知ﷺ。先知ﷺ来到我们面前,说:'迁士们啊,有五种品性,我求真主庇佑,愿你们不要沾染:(1)当通奸在人们中公开蔓延时,他们会遭受前所未见的疾病。(2)当人们在称量时克扣斤两,他们会遭受艰难,并受统治者的压迫。(3)当人们拒绝缴纳天课时,若不是因为牲畜,雨水就会被阻止降落。(4)当人们违背誓约时,真主会让他们的敌人来攻击他们。(5)当统治者不依据真主在祂的经典中所启示的律法治理时,真主会使苦难和不幸在他们中间盛行。'"阿慕鲁·本·穆拉传述,据萨利姆·本·艾布·贾耶德,据艾布·欧拜代·本·阿卜杜拉·本·麦斯欧德,其父说:"真主的使者ﷺ说:'以色列后裔中最先出现的缺陷是这样的:一个人遇见另一个人,说:"某某啊,敬畏真主,放弃你所做的事,因为那对你来说是不合法的。"然而第二天他又遇见他,(而那种情形)从未阻止他与他一同饮食、同坐。'" 于是,当他们这样做时,安拉使他们的心彼此相通。他随后诵读了这节经文:“以色列的子孙中那些不信的人,曾借达五德和麦尔彦之子尔撒的口受到诅咒,因为他们违抗并且过分越界。”他随后说:“绝不可如此!我指安拉发誓,你们必须劝善戒恶,阻止不义者的不义行为,引导他遵循正道,并使他止步于正道之内。” 伊本·阿比·丁亚转述自易卜拉欣·本·阿穆尔·赛纳尼,他说:“安拉启示给优沙·本·农:‘我要毁灭你们中的四万善人和六万恶人。’他回答说:‘主啊,那些是恶人,但为何要毁灭善人呢?’安拉说:‘因为他们从未因我的愤怒而愤怒,当我愤怒于违抗我的人时,他们却与那些人交往,一同饮食。’” 阿布·欧麦尔·本·阿卜杜勒·巴尔转述自阿布·伊姆兰,他说:“安拉派两位天使到一个村庄,命令他们毁灭其中的一切。天使们发现一个人在清真寺里礼拜,便说:‘主啊,这是你的仆人某某,他正在礼拜。’安拉说:‘连他一起毁灭整个村庄吧,因为他的脸上从未为了我而显露出任何愤怒的迹象。’” 哈默迪转述自苏夫扬,苏夫扬引自欧耶奈,他说:“苏夫扬·本·赛义德转述自麦斯阿尔,说一位天使奉命毁灭一个村庄。他说:‘主啊,那里有一位叫某某的崇拜者。’于是安拉启示给天使:‘从他开始,因为他从未为了我而显露出任何愤怒的迹象。’” 伊本·阿比·丁亚转述自瓦赫卜·本·穆纳比,他说:“达五德先知犯下罪过时,他说:‘主啊,请饶恕我。’安拉说:‘我饶恕你,但我将其耻辱归于以色列的子孙。’” 他回答说:"我的主啊,这怎么可能呢?您是公正的审判者,从不亏待任何人;是我犯了罪,您却把羞辱加在别人身上?"于是安拉向他启示:"你犯罪的时候,他们并没有立即表示对你行为的反对。" 伊本·阿比·丹亚转述,安纳斯·本·马立克说:"我和另一个人一同去见阿伊莎,"他问她:"信士们的母亲啊,请给我们讲讲地震的事。"她说:"当他们允许淫乱、饮酒、使用乐器时,安拉命令大地:'与他们一起震动吧,好让他们停止并悔改。'否则,祂就会把大地毁灭在他们身上。"那人问:"信士们的母亲啊,这是对他们的惩罚吗?"她回答说:"这其实是对信士的劝诫和怜悯,而对不信者则是惩罚和诅咒。"安纳斯说:"自从安拉的使者ﷺ去世后,我从未听过一段圣训让我比这段更高兴。" 伊本·阿比·丹亚转述了先知ﷺ的一段Mursal圣训:"在先知ﷺ在世时,大地曾经震动,他ﷺ便把手放在地上说:'静止吧,你的时候还没有到。'然后他ﷺ转向他的同伴们说:'你们的主希望你们使祂喜悦,所以要寻求祂的喜悦。'在欧麦尔·本·哈塔卜执政期间大地震动时,他说:'众人啊,这次地震只会因为你们在宗教事务上所创制的东西而发生!以掌握我灵魂的那位发誓,如果这次地震再次发生,我不会再在这片土地上与你们同住。'" 欧麦尔·本·阿布杜勒-阿齐兹在其执政期间写信给所有省份:"这次地震是安拉对祂仆人的责备。我已经写信给所有省份,要在某月某日施舍,因为安拉说:'确已成功者,是自洁者,纪念他的主名而拜功者。'"

你应当说亚当所说的话:({主啊,我们已经亏枉了自己。你若不赦宥我们,不慈悯我们,我们必定成为亏折的人。})2 你也应当说尤努斯(约拿)~ 我所说的话:({除你之外,绝无应受崇拜的主。赞你超绝万物!我确是不义的人。})3 伊玛目艾哈迈德说:艾斯瓦德·本·阿米尔传述,来自艾布·伯克尔,来自阿马什,来自阿塔厄·本·艾布·拉巴赫,来自伊本·欧麦尔,他说:"我听真主的使者ﷺ说:'当你们进行伊那(学者解释为另一种高利贷交易)的买卖,抓住牛尾巴,满足于耕种,并放弃圣战(真主之道上的奋斗)时,真主将使屈辱降临你们,直到你们回归你们(原本的)宗教,否则祂不会收回这屈辱。'"4 奥扎尔传述,来自叶海雅·本·艾布·卡西尔,来自艾布·赛莱迈,来自艾布·胡莱赖~他说:"真主的使者ﷺ说:'如果罪恶是私下犯下的,它只伤害其主本人;但如果它公开地犯下,而无人谴责,那么它将伤害所有人。'" 伊玛目艾哈迈德传述,来自欧麦尔·本·哈塔卜~他说:"国家在人口众多的时候,正处于毁灭的边缘。"有人问:"它们在仍有人居住的时候怎么会毁灭呢?"他回答:"当其中作恶者的数量超过善良的人,其村庄由伪信士统治的时候。" 奥扎尔传述,来自哈桑·本·阿特耶,先知ﷺ说:"我的乌玛中的恶人将统治其中的善良人,以至于信士必须隐藏自己,正如今天伪信士在我们中间隐藏一样。" 伊本·艾布·端雅传述,来自伊本·阿拔斯~,先知ﷺ说:"将会有这样一个时代,信士的心将融化,正如盐溶于水。"有人问:"真主的使者啊,这是什么原因?" 他回答说:"因为(所有)他所看见却不加改变的恶行(可憎之事)。"伊玛目艾哈迈德以贾利尔的传述转述,先知ﷺ说:"任何一群人,若在他们之中有罪恶被犯下,而他们人数众多、力量强于作恶者,却从未设法阻止众人去做,那么真主必将惩罚他们所有人。"5 乌萨玛·本·宰德说:"我听真主的使者ﷺ说:'一个人将在复活日被带来,投入火中。他的内脏将倾泻在火中,像驴子绕磨盘转动那样旋转。地狱之人便会围着他聚集,问道:"哦,某某,你怎么了?你不是在我们中间命人行善、禁人作恶吗?"他回答说:"是的,我曾命你们行善,自己却不去做;我曾禁你们作恶,自己却去做。"'" 1 阿卜杜拉·本·欧麦尔传述,先知ﷺ说:"一个女人因为一只猫而受惩罚,她把猫关起来直至其死亡,因此她进入了火狱。这个女人既不给猫食物和水,也不让它吃地上的虫子。"2 基于此观点,学者们说:罪恶导致以物配主,正如亲吻导致性交,歌唱导致淫乱,不正当地注视(非可为之人)导致迷恋,疾病导致死亡。伊玛目艾哈迈德说:"瓦利德传述:'我听到奥扎仪说:"我听到比拉勒·本·萨德说:'不要去看罪恶的微小或无足轻重,而要去看你所违抗的那一位。'"'" 真主ﷻ启示穆萨(摩西)说:"哦,穆萨,在我的被造物中,第一个死去的是易卜劣廋(撒旦),因为他违抗了我;我视违抗我的人为死者之列。" fudayl bin 'Ayyad 说:"你越是轻视一桩罪,它在真主面前就越大;你越是视之为大,它在真主面前就越小。"Abu Salih 转述,Abu Hurayrah ~ 说,先知 ﷺ 说:"信士犯罪时,心上会留下一个黑点;若他悔罪并求饶,心便被擦亮;若他又犯罪,黑点就增多,直到盖过他的心。这就是真主 ~ 至高者所说的'锈':( 不然!而是他们的心上蒙着他们所造的罪恶 3" 4 Imam Ahmad 转述,Wahb 说:"主 ~ 在某些启示中对以色列的后裔说:'当我被顺从时,我便喜悦;当我喜悦时,我便赐予我的恩典,且无穷无尽。当我被违抗时,我便发怒;当我对(我的仆人)发怒时,我便诅咒他,而我的诅咒会延及他的第七代子孙。'"Abu Nu'aim 转述,从 Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd 那里,从 Abi Darda' 那里,他说:"一个人应当小心,以免信士的心在他不知道的地方诅咒他。"然后他问:"你知道原因吗?"我回答:

You should say what Adam said: ( Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If you do not forgive us, and do not bestow upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers)2 and you should say what Yunus ~ I (Jonah) said: ( La ilaha ilia anta (None has the right to be worshipped but You Allah), Glorified are You! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers)3 Imam Ahmad said: "Aswad bin Amir reported from Abu Bakr, from Al-A'mash, from 'Ata' bin Abi Rabah, from Ibn Umar, who said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'When you enter into an inah transaction (interpreted by the scholars as another transaction of usury), hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting Jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your ( original) religion."4 Al-Awza'i reported on the authority of Yahya bin Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah from Abu Hurayrah ~ who said: "The Messenger of Allah ~ said: 'If a sin is discretely committed, it harms none but its owner, but when it is committed publicly, and is not reprimanded, it would harm everyone." Imam Ahmad reported on the authority of Umar bin Al- Khattab ~ who said: "States are on the verge of destruction whilst they are populated." He was asked: 'How could they be destroyed whilst they are still inhabited?' He ~ replied: 'When its wrongdoers outnumber its righteous people, and its villages are ruled by its hypocrites." Al-Awzai reported, on the authority of Hassan bin 'Atiyyah, that the Prophet ~ said: "Evil people from my Ummah will rule its righteous people, until a believer will hide himself, exactly in the way a hypocrite hides among us today." lbn Abi Dun ya reported, on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas ~ . that the Prophet ~ said: "There will come a time when the heart of a believer will melt in the way that salt dissolves in water.' He was asked: 'What is the reason, 0 Messenger of Allah?' He ~ replied: 'Because of (all) the evil deeds (objectionable things) that he sees yet does not change." Imam Ahmad reported, on the authority of Jarir, that the Prophet ~ said: "(Concerning) any people around whom sins are committed in their society, whilst are they numerous and stronger than those who commit them yet never tried to forbid them (the population) from doing so, Allah would punish all of them."5 Usamah bin Zayd ~ said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ~ say: 'A man would be brought on the Day of Resurrection, and thrown into the Fire. His hunch would be spilled on the Fire, turning like a donkey which turns (a millstone) in a mill. So, the people of Hell would gather around him and ask: 'O, so and so, what is your matter? Were you not enjoining good among us, and forbidding us from doing evil?' He replied: 'Yes, I was, but I used to enjoin good amongst you, yet never did it myself; and I used to forbid you from doing evil, yet did it myself."' 1 Abdullah bin Umar ~ reported that the Prophet ~ said: "A woman was punished because of a cat she imprisoned until its death, so she entered the Hell-Fire. The woman neither fed nor gave water to the cat, nor ( even) let it eat the insects of the land."2 From this perspective, the scholars have said that sins lead to polytheism, just as kissing leads to sexual intercourse, singing leads to fornication, an unlawful look (at a non- mahram person) leads to infatuation, and illness leads to death. Imam Ahmad said: "Al-Waleed reported: "I heard Al- Awaza'i saying: 'I heard Bilal bin Sa'd saying: 'Do not look at the smallness or insignificance of a sin, but look at the One you have disobeyed."' Allah ~ revealed to Musa ~1 (Moses): "O Musa, the first who died among My Creation was Iblis (Satan), because he disobeyed Me; for I consider the one who disobeys me among the dead." Al-Fudayl bin 'Ayyad said: "As much as you underestimate a sin, it becomes great in Allah's Sight, and as much as you consider it great, it becomes small in Allah's Sight." Abu Salih reported, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah ~. that the Prophet ~ said: "When a believer sins there is a black spot (placed) on his heart, yet if he repents and asks pardon his heart is polished; but if he does more, it increases till it gains ascendancy over his heart. That is the 'rust' mentioned by Allah ~. Most High: ( Nay, but on their hearts is the Raan (covering of sins and evil deeds) 3" 4 Imam Ahmad reported, on the authority of Wahb, who said: "The Lord ~ said, in some of His Revelations, to the Children of Israel: 'When I am obeyed, I am pleased. When I am pleased, I bestow My Blessing and there is no end to it. When I am disobeyed, I am Angry. And when I am Angry (with My Servant), I curse him, and my Curse reaches his seventh child." Abu Nu'aim reported from Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd, from Abi Darda', who said: "A man should be careful that the hearts of the believers do not curse him from where he is unaware.' Then he asked: 'Do you know the reason why?' I answered:

"不。"他回答说："一个人持续暗中犯罪，安拉就会使信士们心中对那人产生憎恶，而他自己却察觉不到这憎恶来自何方。"阿卜杜拉·本·艾哈迈德在《禁欲》一书中记载，穆罕默德·本·西林因一笔旧债而心中极为不安，于是说："我知道这种焦虑的原因，是我四十年前所犯的一桩罪。" 这里涉及一个关于罪过的重要概念，人们对此仍然常常低估：由于他们不会立刻看到罪过的后果，后果可能会被推迟，人们便会遗忘它，并认为自己并没有真正做错，因此不需要改变自己。subhanallah！这种错误的观念给许多人带来了巨大的痛苦；它剥夺了他们许多的恩赐，并使他们遭遇不幸。这种误解甚至可能存在于一些学者之中，更不用说无知的人了！ 伊玛目艾哈迈德引述阿布·达尔达的话说："你要像能看见安拉那样崇拜祂，并且要知道，足以使你富足的少量财富，胜过足以毁灭你的大量财富。你应当知道，敬畏之心永不会衰败，而罪过也永远不会被遗忘。"

'No.' He replied: 'A man continues to commit sins, privately, so Allah ~ sets hatred towards that man, in the hearts of believers, from (a direction) where he could not sense." Abdullah bin Ahmad reported, in the book, Az-Zuhd, that Muhammd bin Sirin felt so apprehensive because of an old debt, so he said: "I know that the cause of this anxiety is a sin which I had committed forty years ago." Here we have an important concept regarding sins, which people continue to underestimate: as they do not see the effect of a sin, immediately. Its effect could be delayed, and so people would forget it, and believe that they are not really in the wrong, and therefore do not need to change themselves. Subhanallah! This misconception has caused so much torment to many people; it deprived them of many blessings, and caused them misfortunes. This misunderstanding may be found among some scholars, let alone ignorant people! Imam Ahmad reported, on the authority of Abi Darda ~·, who said: " Worship Allah as if you could see Him , and know that a little (wealth) which makes you rich is better than much which destroys you. You should know that piety never decays , and that sins are never forgotten ."
