الحُرِّيَّة


FREEDOM




الحُرِّيَّةِ / Freedom

1ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : خَمسُ خِصالٍ مَن لم تَكُنْ فيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنها فلَيس فيهِ كَثيرُ مُسْتَمْتَعٍ ، أوَّلُها : الوَفاءُ ، والثّانيةُ : التَّدْبيرُ ، والثّالثةُ : الحَياءُ ، والرّابعةُ : حُسنُ الخُلقِ، والخامِسةُ ـ وهِي تَجْمَعُ هذهِ الخِصالَ ـ : الحُرِّيّةُ.
1- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘There are five attributes such that whoever does not even possess one of them does not have much to admire: loyalty, organisation, modesty, good temper, and the last which brings together all these attribute is freedom.’
[al-Khisal, p. 284, no. 33]


الحُرِّيَّة


FREEDOM




3ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لا تَكُونَنَّ عَبدَ غَيرِكَ وقَد جَعلَكَ اللّه‏ُ سُبْحانَه حُرّا.
3- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Do not ever be a slave to others when Allah, glory be to Him, has made you free.’
[Nahj al-Balagha, Letter 31]

4ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الحُرَّ حُرٌّ على جميعِ أحْوالِهِ : إنْ نابَتْهُ نائبَةٌ صَبرَ لَها ، وإنْ تَداكَّتْ علَيهِ المَصائبُ لَم تَكْسِرْهُ وإنْ اُسِرَ وقُهِرَ واسْتُبْدِلَ باليُسرِ عُسرا، كما كانَ يُوسُفُ الصِّدِّيقُ الأمينُ صلواتُ اللّه‏ِ علَيهِ : لَم يَضْرُرْ حُرِّيَّتَهُ أنِ اسْتُعبِدَ وقُهِرَ واُسِرَ.
4- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The free is free in all his states: when he is inflicted by a calamity, he shows patience; when afflictions bear down on him, they do not break him, even though he be taken in captivity or defeated and his prosperity turns into poverty, just like the truthful trustworthy Prophet Joseph - blessings of Allah upon him - whose freedom was not affected even when he was enslaved, defeated and captivated.’
[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 89, no. 6]

[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 467]

6ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الحَيـاءَ والعِفَّـةَ مِن خَلائـقِ الإيمانِ ، وإنّهُما لَسَجِيّةُ الأحْرارِ وشِيمَةُ الأبْرارِ .
6- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Truly modesty and chastity are of the traits of faith, and they are the attributes of the free and the distinguishing marks of the righteous.’
[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 3605]

7ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : العَبدُ حُرٌّ ما قَنِعَ ، الحُرُّ عَبدٌ ما طَمِعَ.
7- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The servant of Allah is free so far as he remains content. The free man is a slave as long as he is greedy.’
