She said: "It is not as you say. If it were as you say, it would be: 'There is no sin upon him if he does not perform sa'i between them.' The Hajj of one who does not perform sa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwah is not complete. This verse was revealed only because in the pre-Islamic period, when they entered ihram for Manat, it was not lawful for them to perform sa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwah. So Allah revealed: 'Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the rites of Allah. So whoever performs Hajj to the House or performs 'Umrah, there is no sin upon him to perform sa'i between them.' So sa'i between them is one of the rites of Allah."

And on buried treasure, the fifth is due."

The person of Paradise is sealed with the deeds of the people of Paradise, and the person of the Fire is sealed with the deeds of the people of the Fire, even if he does any deed. The people of felicity may be led along the path of the people of wretchedness until it is said, 'How similar they are to them; rather, they are from among them,' and then felicity overtakes them and rescues them. And the people of wretchedness may be led along the path of the people of felicity until it is said, 'How similar they are to them; rather, they are from among them,' and then wretchedness overtakes them. Whoever Allah has written as felicitous in the Mother of the Book, He will not take him out of this world until He makes him act with a deed that brings him felicity before his death, even if by the interval between two milkings of a camel." Then he said, "Deeds are by their endings; deeds are by their endings."

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab said to Ali b. Abi Talib: O Abu al-Hasan, sometimes you were present when we were absent, and sometimes we were present when you were absent. There are three things I will ask you about; do you have knowledge of them? Ali said: What are they? He said: A man loves a man though he has seen no good from him, and a man hates a man though he has seen no evil from him. He said: Yes. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: The spirits are in the air, mustered troops; they meet and smell one another. Those that recognize each other come together, and those that fail to recognize each other separate. Umar said: One. And the man who relates a hadith then forgets it, then remembers it. Ali said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: There is no heart that does not have a cloud like the cloud of the moon. While the moon is shining, a cloud passes over it and it darkens; when it clears, it shines again. While a man is relating, a cloud passes over him and he forgets; when it clears, he remembers. Umar said: Two. And he said: A man sees a dream, some of which come true and some of which prove false. He said: Yes. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: No male or female servant sleeps and falls into deep sleep except that his spirit is taken up to the Throne. The dream that does not wake except at the Throne is the one that comes true, and the one that wakes before reaching the Throne is the dream that proves false. Umar said: Three things I was seeking; praise be to God who let me find them before death.

✧ On the Day of Resurrection, some people will be commanded to go to Paradise until, when they draw near to it and inhale its fragrance, and look at its palaces and what God has prepared therein for its people, it will be called out: “Turn them away from it; they have no share in it.” So they will return with a regret the like of which the first people did not return. They will say, “Our Lord, if only You had admitted us to the Fire before You showed us what we saw of Your reward and what You prepared therein for Your friends, it would have been easier for us.” He will say, “That is what I wanted for you. When you were alone you confronted Me with grave sins, but when you met people you met them humbly, showing people the opposite of what you gave Me from your hearts. You feared people and did not fear Me. You revered people and did not revere Me. You left things for the sake of people and did not leave for Me. So today I have shown you the painful punishment along with what I have deprived you of reward.”
