1873 - تَفسيرُ التَّوَكُّلِ‏

1873. THE EXPLANATION OF TRUST

(إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ) .¹

"If Allah helps you, no one can overcome you, but if He forsakes you, who will help you after Him? So in Allah let all the faithful put their trust." ²

(قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ) .³

"Say, 'Nothing will befall us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Master, and in Allah let all the faithful put their trust.'" ⁴

6701.جَبرئيلُ عليه السلام - لَمّا سألَهُ النّبيُّ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله عنِ التَّوكُّلِ علَى اللَّهِ - : العِلمُ بأنّ المَخلوقَ لا يَضُرُّ ولا يَنفَعُ ، ولا يُعطي ولا يَمنَعُ ، واستِعمالُ اليَأسِ مِن الخَلقِ ، فإذا كانَ العَبدُ كذلكَ لَم يَعمَلْ لأحَدٍ سِوَى اللَّهِ ، ولَم يَرْجُ ولَم يَخَفْ سِوَى اللَّهِ ، ولَم يَطمَعْ في أحَدٍ سِوَى اللَّهِ ، فهذا هُو التَّوكُّلُ .⁵

6701. The Archangel Gabriel (AS), when the Prophet (SAWA) asked him about trusting in Allah, said, '[It is] to know that a creature can neither harm nor benefit, nor give nor deny [of itself], and it is to display hopelessness from people, so when a servant is such, then he will not do anything for anyone other than Allah, will neither hope nor fear in anyone other than Allah, and will not seek other than Allah - this is complete trust.' ⁶

6702.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: مَنِ اكتَوى‏ أو استَرقى‏ ، فَقَد بَرِئَ مِن التَّوكُّلِ ⁷ . ⁸

6702.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'He who cauterises or resorts to witchcraft has turned away from trust [in Allah].' ⁹

6703. Abu Basir, narrating from Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Nothing exists without a limit.' I asked, 'May I be sacrificed for you, what is the limit of trust [in Allah]?' He said, 'Certainty.' I said, 'So what is the limit of certainty?' He said, 'That you do not fear anything apart from Allah.' ¹⁰

6703.أبو بَصيرٍ عن الإمامِ الصّادقِ عليه السلام : لَيسَ شَي‏ءٌ إلّا ولَهُ حَدٌّ. قلتُ : جُعِلتُ فِداكَ، فما حَدُّ التَّوَكُّلِ ؟ قالَ : اليَقينُ . قلتُ : فما حَدُّ اليَقينِ ؟ قالَ : ألّا تَخافَ مَعَ اللَّهِ شَيئاً .¹¹
