Allaah or The Strings of the Spider

[Chapter; Ajhizat Alkhawf, from the book of Asshaykh ‘Abdullah ‘Azzam Rahimahullah, Attarbiyah Aljihadiyah walbinaa] …

Once a man came to complain to Imam Ahmad Rahimahullah, he said: Ya Imam, I fear Assultan, the ruler. - (our days it is from the ntelligence/mukhabarat) - so imam Ahmad told him; If your heart was on guidance then you would not fear anyone. If your heart was right (on a straight path) then you would not fear, is this not true ya Uways Alqarni? So he said: if your heart was on guidance then you would not fear anyone.

Then for whom is the safety ? Is it for the men of security, whos job is merely to cut the strings of comfort and safety off this nation? “It is those who believe and confuse not their belief with Zulm for them (only) there is security and they are the guided¨” ”So which of the two parties has more right to be in security? ”. You do not fear asshirk which you have performed, should I then fear these statues you worship? Which of the two parties has more right to be safe? Who’s The One you should be afraid of, and be shy from and fear? Allaah or The Spiders Web? And for whoever rely on the Tawagheet from this Earth, listen to the follow ayah:

Every sultan of this world, unless he has Allaah on his side, then he is like this spiders house, so who is superior in strength? The one who holds in the rope of Allah:

Or the one who holds on to the strings of the spider? Whos the strongest one from these two? The one who holds on The Most Trustworthy Handhold or the one who holds on a spiders web? If the wind passed by and took your tent With it, then what would it not do With a spiders web? Look at the many pegs which keeps the tent stedfast, and the many ropes which tightens it up, but still when the strong wind comes, it destroy it all, then how is it not With the one who holds on a spiders web? What will he do? So hold on to the rope of Allah, you hold on The Most Trustworthy Hold (Al’urwati Alwithqa), and leave for the people the spiders strings…

Look at the rope which you wish to climb, why will it be easy for you to climb it? It is because your hands are holden on a strong rope, therefore start With your heart, guide and protect it from the poisoned arrows and almuharamat (the forbidden acts)…

[Like Chickens in The Fields]

(continuing, from among the words of Asshaykh ‘Abdullah ‘Azzaam Rahimahullah)

And the most dangerous thing, that could enter the heart of yours is the Desire of Assalateen. I Have seen it among the Muslims, and among the kuffar, And I have noticed it being the most dangerous desire. I have seen it destroying nations and groups (…) And verily it can still be seen today…

Almansuur entered in to Sufyan Atthawree Rahimahullah and said to him: Ya Sufyan, What are you in need of?

Sufyan replied him: And would you give it to me (if I asked you)?
He said: yes,

Then Sufyan asked him: Do not come to me unless I ask for you, and do not send to me unless I ask you.

So when Almansuur returned (to where he came from) he said: “We have chased every single bird, and have caught them all, except for Sufyan”

These people are indeed like poultry. Rather they are like chickens in the fields. They (the rulers) raise them by what they give them of food, and they slaughter them whenever they wish in whatever manner they wish. And the salaf Ridwanullahi ‘Alayhim would know of this, rather they knew about this specific matter and understood it from the innermost part of their hearts.

…And look at the day where Sulayman ibn ‘Abdil-Malik stood infront of Abee Hazem salmah bin Dinaar, he said to him: “Ya Aba Hazem, what is it with you, since you do not come (to visit us)?

He answered: May Allah keep you free from lies ya Ameer Almu’mineen. Since when have I known you to come for a visit?

He (sulayman) said to him: “ya Aba Hazem, what is the matter with us since we hate death and love life?.

Aba Hazem answered: “Li’annakum Akhrabtum Ukhraakum Wa A’martum Dunyakum (Because you have destroyed your akhirah, and have build on your dunya-living), so you hate the mooving from your buildings to your destructions.”

Here one of the guards put his hand on his sword, ready to pull it out - and whereas he said: “Let me cut off his neck ya Ameer Almu’mineen, he has offended you” -

Abu Hazem Rahimahullah shouted out: “REMAIN SILENT, verily Fir’awn destroyed Hamaan.” Afterwards Aba Hazem gave him much advice, and told him: “ya Ghulaam, your fathers have taken this matter by their blood, so correct your intuitions And fear Allah in your charges”.

Then Sulayman said: “ya ghulaam, bring forward 100 dinaar”, and continued: “Accept this ya Aba Hazem”.

So Abu Hazem took it, and looked at it: “Is this the price for giving a naseeha (an advice)?. The drinking of Wine, the eating of pork and blood would be more permitted for me than this. Wine, pork and blood would be more permitted for me than this. Take it back to your master, so it could be in the hands of the ones most worthy of it.”

O my brethren, ward yourselves from this: this is a hidden danger which could easily be your clothing, much of it which leads you astray from your path, and much of it mooves you away from the truth. Be careful of this and do not be of those who love appearance (/being known). And Imam Ahmad Rahimahullah, if he walked the streets, he would walk between the bearers and the workers, so as he would not be recognized. O my brethren:
