Who\ndid repent in front of Me and banished him away? Why don't you all sanctify\nGod and He is the One who shaped you? Why don't you banish the sins from\nyour hearts as if you will never die and as if the life is remaining for\nyou? Also in the chapter: O people do not neglect the after-life, O Israelites\nif you thought about your ends and resurrection and remembered the doomsday\nand what I had prepared for the sinners, you would laugh a little and cried\na lot, but you have forgotten death, and you say and do not act, if you\nthought about the harshness of the ground and the loneliness of the grave\nand its darkness your speech would be less and your sanctifications would\nincrease, you don't meditate in the creation of heavens and earth and what\nI made in them of miracles and warnings, and I made the birds in the skies\nsanctify and fly in My properties and I am the Forgiver the Merciful, sanctification\nbe to Him the Creator of light...and then he mentioned a lot of what he\nchose from the chapters of the Psalms that contained the examples and sermons,\nand some of them is: O David, if you saw a wrong-doer that life had lifted\nhim up don't wish his place for he has one end of two: either I appoint\na wrong-doer more than he is so to take revenge of him or I shall make\nhim pay back at the doomsday, O David, if you just can see the owner of\nsins how a collar made of fire is put around his neck, your mind would\nbe buffled and surprised, so judge yourself and be just toward people and\nlet life, and some of them is: woe tou you, if you just can see the paradise\nand what I made for My followers of luxury then you wouldn't have medicine\nfor the sake of being healthy, O you who seek the delicious foods and drinks,\nwhere are those who made crying along with laughters? where are those who\nare at My worshipping places in summer and winter? Look today at what your\neyes can see, your awake had been long while people are sleeping so enjoy\ntoday whatever you wanted for I forgave all of you, and your good deeds\ndid banish away My rage against the people of earth, O David, whoever traded\nwith Me then he is the winner of all of the traders. Also some of them:\nif your sins were put on the mountains they would knock them down, O David,\nby My own Exaltation nothing is more harmful to you more than your own\nmoney and children and nothing is dearer to your heart more than them,\nand also: O Adam sons, and sons of ignorance, by My Exaltation, do not\nlook to what I made forbidden for you, if you just saw the end of the sins\nyou would make it so dirty for yourselves, and if you just saw the scentful\nwomen and how they became cured of the excitation of habits so they are\nthe satisfied one and never become angry and they are the everlasting ones\nand never die, and everytime they are deflowered by their owners they become\nvirgin again and sweeter than honey, and between the bed and sitting place\nthere are raging waves, wine and honey every river is going to the other,\nwoe to you this is the great property and the eternal luxury and the happiest\nlife and the everlasting joy.\nFrom the thirtieth chapter of the Psalms as it is mentioned by Ibn\nT\u00e2woos: sons of Adam are captives of the dead, work for your after-life\nand buy it with your current life and don't be people of joy and ignorance,\nand know that whoever had a loan from Me then his trade is completed, and\nwho had a loan from the devil he shall be with him, why do you compete\nfor the life and stray away from the truth? you had pride in your ancestors\nbut what is the ancestry of a man made of clay? But for Me it is the faith\nthat counts, sanctification be to Him He who created the light. In the\nfourty-seventh chapter: do you know David why I mutated the Israelites\nso that I made out of them monkeys and pigs? Because when a rich come to\nthem with a great sin they passed that and when a poor man comes to them\nwith something smaller than that they take revenge of him, I made My curse\nfor every tyrant on earth that does not judge the poor and the rich in\none rule, you follow your ego in this life, where to escape when you are\nalone with Me? How many times did I forbid you to look at the honor of\nthe believers but your tongues reached the honor of people? Sanctification\nbe to the Creator of light. It is also mentioned that the psalms have this\nverse: but they were busy with life so let them go into it and play in\nit until My command is issued and I shall not waste the rewards of the\nfaithful people. Sanctification be to the Creator of light.\nThat was some of what was assured of the sermons in the psalms and\nit is some of what was mentioned by Ibn T\u00e2woos in his book \"Sa`ad\nAl-Su`ud\" and I had left most of what he had mentioned, and God knows the\ntruth of things, and it has nothing that opposes what other prophets and\nmessangers did bring, and thanks be to God the Lord of worlds.\nit is mentioned that God said to David: love Me and make Me beloved\nby My creation, so he said: O Lord, I love You, but how shall I make You\nbeloved to Your creation? He answered him: mention My favors to them for\nif you did that they will love Me. They also say that some of what God\ninspired to him: if My servant get to Me by a good deed then My paradise\nI shall make for him guaranteed, and then David said: O Lord what is that\ngood deed? He answered: it is to make My faithful servants happy even by\na date, then David said: it is true for he who knew You never to lose hope\nin You.\nAs attributed to Al-B\u00e2qir (PUH) that he said: while David was\nsitting and with him there was a young man that looked miserable, and he\nused to sit with him and be silent all the time, at that time the angel\nof death arrived and greeted him (David) and then looked at the young man\nfor long time, and then David said to him: you looked at that young man?\nHe answered: yes, I am commanded to take out his soul after seven days\nin this position, so David had a mercy for him and said to him: O young\nman, do you have a wife? He answered: no I've never married, so then David\nsaid to him: go to that person, who was a great man among the Israelites,\nand say to him that David commands you to let me marry your daughter at\nthis night, and you take whatever you need of expenses, and then he continued:\nstay with her O young man for seven days and when the seven days are passed\ncome to me in this position, so the young man went along with the message\nof David and the great man gave him his daughter as a wife and the young\nman stayed with her for seven days and came back to David at the eighth\nday, so David then said to him: how did you see what you have been in?\nHe answered: I've never been in such a luxury as this, and David waited\nso that his soul is taken, but when the time passed on, David ordered him\nto leave and be with his family for seven days and come back to him later,\nso the young man went away and came at the eighth day and sat with him\n(David), and went away again for another week and came back to sit with\nhim, and then the angel of death came to David so David asked him: didn't\nyou tell me that you were ordered for take the soul of this young man after\nseven days? He answered: yes, and eight did pass with eight and eight,\nand then he continued: O David God had mercy for him for your mercy for\nhim so He added to his age thirty more years.\nAs attributed to Al-S\u00e2diq (PUH) that he said: God inspired to\nDavid (PUH) that the daughter of Aws is one of paradise's people so tell\nher about it and tell her that she's your companion in paradise, so he\nwent to her and told her so, so she said: it might be a name that is similar\nto mine, so he said to her: no it is but you yourself, and then she said:\nO prophet of God, I don't claim you are a liar and by God I don't know\nin myself whatever you mentioned, then said David: tell me about your heart\nand mind, so she said: for this I can tell you about, for every pain and\nevery need is revealed on me I've been always patient and I never asked\nGod to give a relief until God Himself give a relief and never asked for\ncompensation and always thanked God for it, and then said David: by this\nyou've become to what are you now, and then Al-S\u00e2diq (PUH) continued:\nthis is the religion of God that made it for the faithful, and this level\nis the highest level of satisfaction with God's judgements, and the prince\nof believers (PUH) used to have a pride for reaching this level and to\nits core, and he used to say: if God, the Exalted, put me into the hell\nfor torment I wouldn't say it is hell but it is paradise, because He, the\nExalted, is satisfied to make it for me and my paradise is His satisfaction,\nso His wrath is their hell and His satisfaction is their paradise. This\nlevel of satisfaction with His judgements is not reached except by His\nfaithful followers and the chosen ones, and whoever claimed it is an arrogant\nand a liar and no one can reach it except of the faithful ones that God\ntested their hearts with belief: Few of My bondmen are thankful(Saba':13).\nIt is mentioned and assured that once the prince of believers (PUH)\nsaid to the prophet (PUH) at the day of Ohod [Ohod: name of a mountain\nand battle that took place near that place. The muslims won the first round\nof the battle but lost because they left their locations and the disbelievers\nattacked them from behind] when the muslism did run away from the prophet\nand he (`Ali ben Abi T\u00e2lib) remained alone striking with his sword\ndefending the prophet, and he then said: O prophet of God you promised\nme to be a martyr and today is the day for it but what did make me lose\nits joy? Then the prophet (PUH) to him: you will have it after me when\nyou fight against those who did not fullful their promise and those who\nare unjust and those who are against religion, and also he used to say:\nby God, the children of Abi T\u00e2lib are satisfied with death more than\na child that is satisfied with the breast of his mother, and he said to\nhis son Al-Hasan (PUH): your father doesn't care if he looked for death\nor death looked for him...etc. So, the prophet and his viceroy and his\nHousehold and their loyality for God and their satisfaction with God's\ncommandments is something finished and not to be discussed, and it is more\nobvious than the sun and more assured than the yesterday, may God ends\nour lives with their love and loyality for them, Amen.\nNext: Mutation of Israelites","title":"The Prophets, Their Lives and Their Stories: David: Some of What Was Inspired to David (PUH) and Some of What Was Copied From His Sermons","type":"page"}
