بَابُ تَفْسِيرِ سُورَةِ الْأَعْرَافِ الْآيَتَانِ (8 وَ 9) قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ * وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ}

نا يزيد بن هارون، عن سعيد بن المرزبان، عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن سابط، قال: لما بلغ الناس، ان ابا بكر يريد ان يستخلف عمر، قالوا: ماذا يقول لربه إذا لقيه؟ استخلف علينا فظا غليظا، وهو لا يقدر على شيء فكيف لو قد؟ فبلغ ذلك ابا بكر، فقال: " ابربي تخوفوني؟ اقول: استخلفت خير اهلك"، ثم ارسل إلى عمر، فقال:" إن لله عملا بالليل لا يقبله بالنهار، وعملا بالنهار لا يقبله بالليل، واعلم انه لن تقبل نافلة حتى تؤدوا الفريضة، الم تر ان الله ذكر اهل الجنة، فذكرهم باحسن اعمالهم، وذلك انه تجاوز عن سيئة حتى يقول القائل: انى يبلغ عملي هذا , الم تر ان الله حين ذكر اهل النار فذكرهم باسوا اعمالهم، وذلك انه رد عليهم حسنة فلم تقبل منهم حتى يقول القائل: عملي خير من هذا؟ الم تر ان الله انزل الرغبة والرهبة، لكي يرهب المؤمن فيعمل، وكي يرغب فلا يلقي بيديه إلى التهلكة، الم تر ان من ثقلت موازينه يوم القيامة ثقلت موازينهم باتباعهم الحق وتركهم الباطل، فثقل ذلك عليهم، وحق لميزان ان لا يوضع فيه إلا الحق ان يثقل , الم تر ان ما خفت موازين من خفت موازينه إلا باتباعهم الباطل، وتركهم الحق، وحق لميزان ان لا يوضع فيه إلا الباطل ان يخف؟، ثم قال: اما إن حفظت وصيتي لم يكن غائب احب إليك من الموت وانت لا بد لاقيه، وإن انت ضيعت وصيتي لم يكن غائب ابغض إليك من الموت ولا تعجزه".
When people heard that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to appoint Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as his successor, some people said: He is appointing over us a harsh, angry man; he will not be able to do anything, and then what will happen when he gains power? This reached Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: Are you trying to make me fear my Lord? I will say that I have appointed the best of my officials as your leader. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): Remember! Some acts of worship of Allah are specific to the night and cannot be performed during the day, and some are specific to the day and cannot be performed at night. And know that voluntary acts of worship will never be accepted until the obligatory acts are performed. Have you not seen that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned the people of Paradise by mentioning their best deeds? And the reason for this is that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, forgave their bad deeds, so they say: How can our deeds be so good? And when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned the people of the Fire, He mentioned their worst deeds, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, rejected their good deeds, and they say: Was not our deed better than this? Have you not seen that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created both desires, that is, hope and fear, so that the believer acts out of fear and, out of hope, avoids sin while acting? Have you not seen that on the Day of Resurrection, those whose scales are heavy, it will be because they followed the truth and abandoned falsehood, and this will increase their weight? And this will be according to the truth, and they will remain in it. And those who follow falsehood and abandon the truth, their scales will be light. And this will be according to falsehood, and they will be weak in it. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you act upon my advice, nothing will be more beloved to you than death, because you will meet it. And if you waste my advice, nothing will be more disliked to you than death, and you will not be able to escape it.
