by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him, on a Day whose length is fifty thousand years
Sahl al-Tustari

To Him ascend the angels and the spirit (rūḥ)�He said:The angels ascend with the deeds of the children of Adam, as does the spirit, which is the intuition of the self (dhihn al-nafs). They [the angels and the spirit] ascend to God, Exalted is He, in order to testify to the sincerity (ikhlāṣ) in his [a man�s] deeds. They cover the distance to the Throne, which measures fifty thousand years, in the blinking of an eye. This is the inner meaning of the verse.His words, Exalted is He:

Abdel Haleem
So be patient, [Prophet], as befits you
Sahl al-Tustari

So be patient with comely patience (ṣabran jamīlan).That is, [with] contentment (riḍā) and without complaining (shakwā); for truly, complaints are a [form of] tribulation (balwā), and any claim to patience (ṣabr) that is accompanied by it [complaint] is merely a claim. [This notwithstanding], God, Exalted is He, has servants who complain through Him, from Him and to Him (bihi minhu ilayhi), as a proof of their restrainingtheir natural self (nafs al-ṭabʿ) from turning its attention to anything other than the One for whose sake the patient show patience. His words, Exalted is He:

إِنَّهُمۡ یَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِیدࣰا ۝٦
Abdel Haleem
The disbelievers think it is distant
Sahl al-Tustari

Lo! They see it as being far off,! while We see it [to be] near.He said:This means that they see the death, resurrection and reckoning that are decreed for them as far away (baʿīd), due to the far-fetched nature (buʿd) of their hopes; while We see it [to be] near, for indeed everything in existence (kāʾin) is close and that which is distant does not even exist. Then he said:The scholars sought [the justification] for having scruples (waswasa), concerning the Book and the Sunna, but they could not find a basis for it except legitimate inquisitiveness (fuḍūl al-ḥalāl), and legitimate inquisitiveness is that the servant considers a time other than the time he is in. This, [however] is [on the basis of] hope (amal). It is related from Ḥubaysh on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās y that the Prophet would pass water and then wipe himself with earth. So he [Ibn ʿAbbās?] said, �O Messenger of God, there is water near you!�, to which he replied, �I do not know, it may be that I won�t reach it.� And [the Prophet said to Usāma (b. Zayd)], �Our nearness to [obtaining water] is two months away. Indeed, Usāma has far-reaching hopes (ṭawīl al-amal)!�Sahl was asked, �How does the world leave the heart?� He replied:By the shortening of hope.[Then] he was asked: �What is it that shortens hope?� He replied:It is cutting off from concerns (humūm) with what is guaranteed (maḍmūn), and finding reliance(sukūn) on the Guarantor (al-Ḍāmin).His words, Exalted is He:

They do not repose in anything other than Him and they do not fear anything other than Him, their [only source of] anxiety being the possibility of separation from Him, just as He says, and who are apprehensive of the chastisement of their Lord [70:27].The saying is narrated from the Prophet : �According to what the highest host in the highest ranks informed me, among the best of my nation are people who laugh out loud at the amplitude of the mercy of their Lord, and weep in secret out of fear of the severity of the punishment of their Lord. They remember their Lord morning and night in His blessed houses, and make supplications to Him with their tongues in hope and fear. They petition Him with their hands, lowering [their upturned palms] and raising them, and they long for Him constantly with their hearts. Their demands on people are light, but their demands on themselves heavy. They tread upon the earth [lightly] with their feet, as an ant would tread, without gloating, boasting or swaggering�� to the end of the ḥadīth. His words, Exalted is He:

who are faithful to their trusts and their pledges
Sahl al-Tustari

and those who are keepers of their trusts and their covenant,He said:Its inner meaning refers to the trust (amāna) within the self, for it is God�s secret with His servants. He confides with them (yusārruhum) due to His knowledge of all the suggestions(khawāṭir) and aspirations (himam) which are within it [the self]. On the other hand, they confide in Him by showing their neediness for Him and seeking refuge in Him.Furthermore, if the heart acquiesces in that which the evil whispering of the Enemy suggests to it, even though it may be the most insignificant thing, it will manifest itself in the breast, and from the breast to the body and thus will he have betrayed God�s trust (amāna), His pledge (ʿahd) and faith (īmān).
