So We have revealed an Arabic Quran to you, in order that you may warn the capital city and all who live nearby. And warn [especially] about the Day of Gathering, of which there is no doubt, when some shall be in the Garden and some in the blazing Flame
Sahl al-Tustari

�That you may warn [the people of] the Mother of Cities, and those around it�He said:In its outward meaning, it [the Mother of Cities] refers to Mecca. In its inner meaning it refers to the heart, while those around it refer to the bodily members (jawāriḥ). Therefore warn them that they might safeguard their hearts and bodily members from delighting in acts of disobedienceand following [their] lusts.His words:�and that you may warn [people] about the Day of Gathering�He said:That is, the Day when the inhabitants of the earth will be gathered for His remembrance, just as the Hosts of the Heavens are assembled [for His remembrance].His words:�[whereupon] some will be in the Garden and some will be in the Blazing Fire.He said:Whoever plants thorn trees will not reap grapes. So do what you will, for indeed there are just two paths, and whichever one of those paths you [choose to] tread, you will end up with its folk.His words:

If God had so pleased, He could have made them a single community, but He admits to His mercy whoever He will; the evildoers will have no one to protect or help them
Sahl al-Tustari

And had God willed, He would have made them one community�He said:The outer meaning [of the verse] refers to disbelief (kufr), and its inner meaning refers to the servant�s [moments of] activity (ḥarakāt) and passivity (sukūn). If God so willed He would have placed them all in obedience to Him; but He admits whomever He will into His mercy, that is, into His obedience. And the evildoers, who claim to possess the power (ḥawl) and strength (quwwa), have neither guardian nor helper in [their being] contrary (khilāf) [to the state they should be in], that is, they are in a state of passivity (sukūn) with regard to [His] commandments(amr) and activity with regard to that which is forbidden (nahy).His words:

How can they take protectors other than Him? God alone is the Protector; He gives life to the dead; He has power over all things
Sahl al-Tustari

�He revives the dead�In its inner meaning, it refers to the hearts of the people of truth, which He revives through remembrance (dhikr) and the contemplative witnessing (mushāhada) of Him.42 Al-Shūrā (or Ḥā Mīm ʿAyn Sīn Qāf)181He [also] said:Souls cannot gain [real] life until they die. His words:

If anyone desires a harvest in the life to come, We shall increase it for him; if anyone desires a harvest in this world, We shall give him a share of it, but in the Hereafter he will have no share
Sahl al-Tustari

And whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will enhance for him his harvest�He said:The harvest of the Hereafter is being satisfied [with one�s lot] (qanāʿa) in this world, and [finding]contentment (riḍā) in the Hereafter. The harvest of this world is that which is sought other than Him.He [also] said:Another shade of meaning is that he who acts for the sake of God, Mighty and Majestic is He, in a state of compliance (ījāban), without seeking a reward, [will find that] everything which is sought other than God, Mighty and Majestic is He, becomes diminished in his sight. Thus, he desires neither the world, nor Paradise, but desires only the vision (naẓar) of Him, this being the share (ḥaẓẓ) of the intuition of the spiritual self (dhihn nafs al-rūḥ), the understanding of the intellect (fahm al-ʿaql), and the discernment of the heart (fiṭnat al-qalb), as when He addressed them [before] (ka-mā khāṭabahum); for conformity [lit. imitation, iqtidāʾ], on that occasion was without the presence of the natural self (nafs ṭabīʿiyya). Notwithstanding the fact that the [natural] self receives a share [of the beatific vision in Paradise], like a fragrant breeze, due to its being fused with those lights. [However,] whoever acts for the sake of this world, �We will give him of it, but in the Hereafterhe will have no portion (naṣīb), for his ⸢natural⸣ self will be occupied with the enjoyment (tanaʿʿum or naʿīm) of Paradise, which itself is its share (ḥaẓẓ), [while forgoing] its portion in the Hereafter, namely the vision of God for eternity (ruʾyat al-Ḥaqq ʿalā�l-abad).

it is of this that God gives good news to His servants who believe and do good deeds. Say [Prophet], ‘I ask no reward from you for this, only the affection due to kin.’ If anyone does good, We shall increase it for him; God is most forgiving and most appreciative
Sahl al-Tustari

�Say �I do not ask of you any reward for it, except the affection due to [my] kinsfolk��He said:The inner meaning of the verse refers to the link between the Sunna and obligatory acts (farḍ). It is related regarding this verse that Ḥasan [al-Baṣrī] said, �Whoever draws closer to God through obedience to Him, [will find that] God�s love becomes obligatory [for Him].� His words:�If anyone acquires a good deed, We shall enhance for him his goodness�He said:It refers to the cognisance (maʿrifa) [that a person should have] of his state relating to an act, before entering upon it, and after its completion, as to whether it is unhealthy (saqīm) or sound (saḥīḥ).
