The Living Being
وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ وَلَا تَكُنْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ {205}
And remember your Lord within yourself humbly and fearing and without the loudness from the words, in the morning and the evening, and do not become from the heedless ones [7:205]
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِعِيسَى ( عليه السلام ) يَا عِيسَى اذْكُرْنِي فِي نَفْسِكَ أَذْكُرْكَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ اذْكُرْنِي فِي مَلَئِكَ أَذْكُرْكَ فِي مَلَإٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ مَلَإِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ يَا عِيسَى أَلِنْ لِي قَلْبَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرِي فِي الْخَلَوَاتِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ سُرُورِي أَنْ تُبَصْبِصَ إِلَيَّ وَ كُنْ فِي ذَلِكَ حَيّاً وَ لَا تَكُنْ مَيِّتاً
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ibn Fazzal, raising it, said,
‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Prophet Isa-as: “O Isa-as! Mention Me-azwj within yourself-as, I-azwj will Mention you-as within Myself-azwj, and mention Me-azwj in your-as gathering, I-azwj shall Mention you-as in a gathering better than the gathering of the human beings. O Isa-as! Soften your-as heart for Me-azwj and frequent My-azwj Mention in the isolation, and know that My-azwj Gladness is that you-as compliment to Me-azwj and become lively during that and do not become (like) dead.[1]
