Translation

5. My father, may Allah grant him mercu, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Musa bin Qasem al-Bajali, from Sawfan bin Yahya, from Hisham bin Salim, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, one day met Haritha bin Nu’man al-Ansari, and he said to him: How have you become up at the morning, O Haritha? He said: I have become at the morning, O Allah’s Messenger, a true believer. He said: Indeed, for every (level of) faith there is a reality, so what is the reality of your faith? He said: I have prevented by self from this world, remained awake at my night and become thirsty during my day, and so, it is as if I am by the Throne of my Lord and the Reckoning is near, and it is as if I am by the people of Paradise who, in it, are being enticed, and by the people of the Fire who, in it, are being tormented. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: You are a believer. May Allah enlighten faith in your heart, so remain firm, may Allah make you firm. Then he said to him: O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing on my self from which I am more fearful over, than my vision. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, supplicated and his vision went away.
