خطبه۴۹-صفات خداوندي خداشناسي ستايش خداوندي را سزاست كه از اسرار نهانها آگاه است، و نشانه هاي آشكاري در سراسر هستي بر وجود او شهادت مي دهند، هرگز برابر چشم بينندگان ظاهر نمي گردد، نه چشم كسي كه او را نديده مي تواند انكارش كند، و نه قلبي كه او را شناخت مي تواند مشاهده اش نمايد، در والايي و برتري از همه پيشي گرفته، پس از او برتر چيزي نيست، و آنچنان به مخلوقات نزديك است كه از او نزديكتر چيزي نمي تواند باشد. مرتبه بلند او را از پديده هايش دور نساخته، و نزديكي او با پديده ها، او را مساوي چيزي قرار نداده است. عقلها را بر حقيقت ذات خود آگاه نساخته، اما از معرفت و شناسايي خود باز نداشته است. پس اوست كه همه نشانه هاي هستي بر وجود او گواهي مي دهند و دلهاي منكران را بر اقرار به وجودش واداشته است، خدايي كه برتر از گفتار تشبيه كنندگان و پندار منكران است

I praise Him out of gratefulness for His reward, and I seek His assistance in fukfilling His rights, He has a strong army. His dignity is grand. The Prophet's Character I stand witness that Muhammad - peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and his progeny - is His slave and His Prophet. He called " people " to His obedience and over powered His enemies by fighting for the sake of His religion. People's joining together to falsify him and their attempt to extinguish His light did not prevent him from it. You should therefore exercise fear of Allah because it has a rope whose twist. is strong and its pinnacle is lofty and invulnerable. Hasten toward death in its pangs " by doing good acts " and be prepared for it before its approach, because the ultimate end is the Day of Judgement. This is enough preaching for one who understands and enough of a lesson for one who does not know. What idea do you have, before reaching that end, of the narrowness of grave, the hardship of Ioneliness, fear of the passage towards the next world, the pangs of fear, the shifting of ribs here and there " due to narrowing of the grave ", the deafness of ears, the darkness of the grave, fear of the promised punishment, the closing of the receptacle of the grave and the laying of stones ? Therefore, " fear " Allah, " fear " Allah, O' creatures of Allah, because the world is behaving with you in the usual way and you and the Day of Judgement are in the same rope " close to each other ". As though it has come with its signs, has approached with its pleas and has made you stand in its way; and as though it has come forward with all its quakings and has settled down with its chest on the ground while the world has parted from its people and has turned them out of its Iap. It was like a day that has passed or a month that has gone by. Its new things have become old and the fat ones have become thin. They are in a narrow place, in very complicated affairs and in a fire whose pain is sharp, cries are loud, flames are rising, sound is trembing, burning is severe, abatement is remote; its fuel is buring, its threats are fearful, its hollows are hidden, its side are dark, its vessels are aflame, and everything about it is abominable. And shall be conveyed those who feared " the wrath of " their Lord, in companies unto the garden ... " Qur' an , 39:73 " They are safe from chastisement, away from punishment, and kept aloof from fire. Their abode will be peaceful and they will be pleased with their longing and their place of stay. These are the people whose acts in this world were chaste, their eyes were tearful, their night in this world were like days because af fearing and seeking forgiveness, and their days were like nights because of feeling of loneliness and separation. Therefore, Allah made Paradise the place of their " eventual " return and a reward in recompense, ... They were most elegible and suitable for it, ... " Qur' an, 48:26 " in the eternal domain and everlasting favours. Therefore, O' creatures of Allah, pay regard to all that by being regardful of which one will succeed and by ignoring which one will incur loss, and hasten towards your death by means of your " good " acts, because you are bound by what you have done in the past and you have to your credit only what " good acts " you have sent forward. " Behave in such a way " as though the feared event " death " has come upon you, so that you cannot return " to do good acts " nor can you be cleared of evil acts, Allah may prompt us and you for His obedience and obedience of His Prophet, and forgive us and you by His great mercy. Stich to the earth, keep patient in trials, do not move your hands and swords after the liking of your tongues, and do not make haste in matters in which Allah has not asked for haste, because any one of you who dies in his bed while he had knowledge of the rights of Allah and the rights of His Prophet and members of the Prophet's house, will die as a martyr. His reward is incumbent on Allah. He is also eligible to the recampense of what good acts he has intended to do, since his intention takes the place of drawing his sword. Certainly, for every thing there is a time and a limit.
