1795 - مَن يَهديهِمُ اللَّهُ‏

1795. THOSE WHOM ALLAH GUIDES

(مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإذْنِ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلِيمٌ) .¹

"No affliction visits [anyone] except by Allah's leave. Whoever has faith in Allah, He guides his heart, and Allah has knowledge of all things." ²

(وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ) .³

"As for those who strive in Us, We shall guide them to Our ways, and Allah is indeed with the virtuous." ⁴

(إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ) .⁵

"Indeed Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot." ⁶

(إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ) .⁷

6360.الإمامُ باقر عليه السلام - في كِتابِهِ إلى‏ سَعدِ الخَير - : إنّ اللَّهَ تباركَ وتعالى‏ الحَليمُ العَليمُ ، إنّما غَضَبُهُ على‏ مَن لَم يَقبَلْ مِنهُ رِضاهُ ، وإنّما يَمنَعُ مَن لَم يَقبَلْ مِنهُ عَطاهُ ، وإنّما يُضِلُّ مَن لَم يَقبَلْ مِنهُ هُداهُ .⁹

6360.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'Allah, Blessed and most High, the Clement and all-Knowing, only becomes angry with those who do not accept His satisfaction, and He only prohibits those who do not accept His gifts. Verily, He only causes to go astray those who do not accept from Him His guidance.' ¹⁰

1794 - اختِصاصُ الهِدايَةِ بِاللَّهِ‏

1794. GUIDANCE BEING EXCLUSIVELY FROM ALLAH

(إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ) .¹

"You cannot guide whomever you wish, but [it is] Allah [who] guides whomever He wishes, and He knows best those who are guided." ²

6358.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : قالَ اللَّهُ جلّ جلالُهُ : عِبادِي، كُلُّكُم ضالٌّ إلّا مَن هَدَيتُهُ ، وكَلُّكُم فَقيرٌ إلّا مَن أغنَيتُهُ ، وكُلُّكُم مُذنِبٌ إلّا مَن عَصَمتُهُ .³

6358.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Allah Almighty said, 'My servants, all of you are astray save he whom I have guided, and all of you are poor except for he whom I have enriched, and all of you are sinners except for he whom I protect from them.' ⁴

6359.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : بُعِثتُ داعِياً ومُبَلِّغاً ولَيسَ إلَيَّ مِن الهُدى‏ شَي‏ءٌ ، وخُلِقَ إبليسُ مُزَيِّناً ولَيسَ إلَيهِ مِن الضَّلالَةِ شَي‏ءٌ .⁵

6359.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'I was sent as a caller and a propagator, and I do not have [the power] to guide by myself, and Satan was created to make [people's deeds] decorous [to them], but he does not [have the power to] lead anything astray.' ⁶
