Gleanings — Paragraph 462

Source (Arabic)

والعشيّ يريدون وجهه وأنت خالفت حكم الكتاب بعد الّذي حسبت نفسك من المؤمنين، ومع ذلك فوالله لم يكن في قلبي بغضك ولا بغض أحد من النّاس ولو وردتم علينا ما لا يطيقه أحد من الموحّدين، وما أمري إلّا بالله وتوكّلي إلّا عليه فسوف يمضي أيّامكم وأيّام الّذين هم كانوا اليوم على غرور مبين، وتجتمعون ف

Translation

Despite what thou hast done I entertain — and to this God is My witness — no ill-will against thee, nor against anyone, though from thee and others We receive such hurt as no believer in the unity of God can sustain. My cause is in the hand of none except God, and My trust is in no one else but Him. Erelong shall your days pass away, as shall pass away the days of those who now, with flagrant pride, vaunt themselves over their neighbor. Soon shall ye be gathered together in the presence of God, and shall be asked of your doings, and shall be repaid for what your hands have wrought, and wretched the abode of the wicked doers!
