traduza o texto completamente e perfeitamente para o portugues THE HUMILITY OF NAJASHI
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) narrates that when Janab Jafar e Tayyar bin Abi
Talib was at the court of Najashi, he was once called by the monarch to
his presence. He found that the king was seated on the bare ground.
Hazrat Jafar e Tayyar felt awed finding the monarch sitting the way he
did.
Najashi said, “Thank God that He gave victory to your Prophet (a.s)
over his enemies! My greetings to you on this occasion!”
He asked, “Your majesty! How you came to know of this?”
Najashi said, “My agents have brought this news to me. They also informed the names of the persons who have been taken captive. The place
where the battle took place is called Badr. At that place lots of Salvadora
Persica trees are growing. I feel as if the place is in my view!”
Hazrat Jafar e Tayyar asked him, “Why are you squatting on the
ground?”
Najashi said, “O Jafar! Of the Commandments that Allah gave to
Hazrat Eeesa (a.s), one is that when people receive a fresh endowment
from Him, they should express humility and modesty. Now that Allah
has endowed this Blessing, about which I have just informed you, It is
imperative on me that I manifest humility in my action!”
When the Prophet (a.s) was informed about what transpired between
Hazrat Jafar e Tayyar and the king of Abyssinia, he said, “Humility enhances respect! Be humble and submissive before Allah! Charity begets
prosperity! Do lot of charity, that Allah bestows Kindness on you! Forgive the mistakes of others, it will enhance your respect! If you are generous to a fault, Allah will enhance your respect!”
Imam Hassan Askari (a.s) says that a person who recognizes the rights
of a Momin and respects him, Allah will enhance his respectability. One
who adopts an attitude of humility with a Momin, will be counted by Allah among the Sadiqeen (the truthful ones). He will be recognized as a
Shia of the Ahl e Bayt.
312HUMILITY & LOWLINESS
Hazrat Ali (a.s) told to Imam Hussain (a.s) that in the eyes of Allah the
best supplication is humility and no pedigree is of any value but the humility of a person.
Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s) says that when Hazrat Nooh (a.s) boarded
the ark and other things were loaded, they set sail. At this moment Allah
addressed the mountains that He wished to land the boat on any one of
them. Every mighty mountain thought that it would have the privilege
of the landing of the Ark. But the Mount Judi, the smallest of the mounts,
that was in the vicinity of Najaf e Ashraf, thought that it was insignificant
when compared to the other mighty mountains and had no chance of being a part of such an important event. Allah liked the humility of Mount
Judi and the Ark landed there!
Hazrat Ali (a.s) was visited by one of his companions one day. The
Imam (a.s) treated him with much courtesy and attention. He ordered
Qanbar, the Imam (a.s)’s attendant, to arrange a repast for the guest. Qanbar laid the table and brought water for washing the hands and a towel
for drying them. Hazrat Ali (a.s) took the pitcher of water from Qanbar’s
hand and wanted to help the guest wash his hands. The guest said politely, “O Master! How is it possible that the slave makes the master do
this service!” Hazrat Ali (a.s) said, “What if my Master and Creator gets
pleased if I do this service for you!?”
Hearing these words the guest was obliged to get his hands washed by
Hazrat Ali (a.s). After helping the guest wash his hands, Hazrat Ali (a.s)
addressed his son, Mohammed bin Hanafiah, to help the guest’s son wash
his hands that the status of the father and the son was not equated. He
also added that if the father was not with the son, he would himself have
helped him wash his hands.
Hazrat Ali (a.s) once went to a shop and asked the vendor to show
some cloaks. The man asked, “O Ameer al Momineen (a.s)! What quality of
cloaks you desire to buy?” Hearing this, Hazrat Ali (a.s) moved away
from the shop. The reason was that the man addressed him as Ameer al
Momineen (a.s) and that he was aware of the status of the visitor. Hazrat
Ali (a.s) now went to another shop. At that moment the owner of the
shop was away and his young son was attending to the customers.
Hazrat Ali (a.s) asked the young man to give two cloaks. He bought one
for two and the other for three Dirhams. Now Hazrat Ali (a.s) asked
Qanbar to take the cloak worth three Dirhams and kept the inferior garment for himself. Qanbar said, “O Master! Please take the better garment
313for your own use!” Hazrat Ali (a.s) said, “It is always the youth who deserve to use better things. You must therefore use the better cloak of the
two! The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has verily said,’ Provide to the slave the
type of garments you yourselves wear and give them the food that you
eat!”
