833. Pleasing People at the Expense OF ALLAH'S DISPLEASURE

2631.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - فيما كَتَبَ إلى‏ محمّدِ بنِ أبي بكرٍ - : إنِ استَطَعتَ أن لاتُسخِطَ رَبَّكَ برِضا أحَدٍ مِن خَلقِهِ فَافعَلْ؛ فإنَّ في اللَّهِ عزّوجلّ خَلَفاً مِن غَيرِهِ ، ولَيسَ في شي‏ءٍ سِواهُ خَلَفٌ مِنهُ .1

2631. Imam Ali (AS), in a letter that he wrote to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr, said, 'Try to the best of your ability not to displease your Lord by pleasing any of His creatures, for verily Allah can easily substitute a servant for another but the servant has recourse to no other substitute for Allah.' 2

2632.الإمامُ الحسينُ عليه السلام : مَن طَلَبَ رِضا اللَّهِ بِسَخَطِ الناسِ كَفاهُ اللَّهُ اُمُورَ الناسِ ، ومَن طَلَبَ رِضا الناسِ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ ، وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إلى النّاسِ .3

2632. Imam al-Hossein (AS) said, 'He who seeks to please Allah at the expense of displeasing people, Allah suffices him in everything including his affairs with people. But the one who seeks to please people at the expense of Allah's displeasure, Allah relegates him to those very people.' 4

832. SIGNS OF ALLAH'S PLEASURE

2629.بحار الأنوار : رُويَ أنّ موسى‏ عليه السلام قالَ : يا رَبِّ أخبِرْني عن آيَةِ رِضاكَ عن عَبدِكَ ، فَأوحَى اللَّهُ تعالى‏ إلَيهِ : إذا رَأيتَني اُهَيِّئُ عبدِي لطاعَتِي وأصرِفُهُ عن مَعصِيَتي ، فذلكَ آيَةُ رِضايَ .1

2629. It is narrated in Bihar al-Anwar that Prophet Moses (AS) said, 'O My Lord, what is a sign of Your pleasure with a servant of Yours?' So Allah revealed to him, saying, 'When you see Me preparing My servant for My obedience and averting him from My disobedience, [know that] it is a sign of My pleasure.' 2

2630.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : علامَةُ رِضا اللَّهِ سبحانَهُ عن العَبدِ ، رِضاهُ بما قَضَى‏ بهِ سبحانَهُ لَهُ وعلَيهِ .3

2630.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The sign of Allah's pleasure with His servant is the satisfaction found in the servant himself with all that Allah decrees, be it in his favour or not.' 4
