"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: مَنْ أَهَانَ لِى وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِى بالْمُحَارَبَةِ، وإِنِّى لأَسْرَعُ شَيْئًا إِلَى نُصْرَةِ أَوْلِيَائِى، إِنِّى لأَغْضَبُ لَهُمْ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ اللَّيْثُ الْحَرِبُ، وَمَا تَوَدَّدْتُ عَنْ شَىْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ تَرَدُّدِى عَنْ قَبْضِ رُوحِ عَبْدِى الْمُؤمِنِ وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ، وَأَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ وَلَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهُ، وَمَا تَعَبَّدَ لِى عَبْدِى الْمُؤْمِنُ بِمِثْلِ الزُّهْدِ في الدُّنْيَا، وَلَا تَقَرَّبَ عَبْدِى الْمُؤْمِنُ بِمِثلِ أدَاءِ مَا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِى يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَىَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ لَهُ سَمْعًا وبَصَرًا وَيَدًا، وَمُؤيِّدًا، إِنْ سَألَنِى أعْطَيْتُهُ، وَإِنْ دَعَانِى أسْتَجِبُ لَهُ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَمَنْ يَسْأَلُنِى الْبَابَ مِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ فَأَكُفُّهُ عَنْهُ، وَلَوْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ لَدَخَلَهُ الْعُجْبُ وَأَفْسَدَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَمَنْ لَا يُصْلحُهُ إِلَّا الْغِنَى وَلَوْ أَفْقَرْتُهُ لأَفْسَدَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِى الْمُؤمِنِينَ لَمَنْ لَا يَصْلحُ لَهُ إِلا الْفَقرُ، وَلَوْ أَغْنَيْتُهُ لأفْسَدَهُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنَّ مِنْ عبَادى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَمَنْ لَا يُصْلِحُهُ إِلَّا السَّقَمُ وَلَوْ أَصْحَحْتُهُ لأَفْسَدَهُ ذَلِكَ، إِنِّى أُدَبِّرُ عِبَادِى بِعَلْمِى بِقُلُوبِهِمْ إِنِّى عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ".

"Allah -Exalted is He- says: Whoever humiliates a friend of Mine has declared war against Me. Indeed, I am quickest to aid My friends. I become angry for them as a fierce lion becomes angry. I have not hesitated about anything I do as I hesitate about seizing the soul of My believing servant, for he dislikes death and I dislike causing him distress, yet it is inevitable for him. My believing servant does not worship Me with anything like asceticism in this world. My believing servant does not draw near to Me with anything like performing what I have obligated upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his support. If he asks Me, I give him; if he calls upon Me, I respond to him. Among My believing servants there is one who asks Me for a door of worship, and I withhold it from him, for if I gave it to him, self-admiration would enter him and corrupt him. Among My believing servants there is one whom only wealth would set right, and if I made him poor, that would corrupt him. Among My believing servants there is one for whom only poverty is right, and if I made him rich, that would corrupt him. Among My believing servants there is one whom only sickness sets right, and if I healed him, that would corrupt him. Indeed I manage My servants by My knowledge of their hearts; indeed I am All-Knowing, All-Aware."
