Abu Hamid Al-Khulqani
said: I asked Ahmed ibn Hanbal (Rahimahullah): "O Abu Abdullah, Here is a poem which mentions
Paradise and Hell? What do you say about these". He asked, "Like what?" He said, "It
says:
إذا ما قال لي ربي
أما استحييت تعصيني
وتخفي الذنب عن خلقي
وبالعصيان تأتيني
"When my Lord asks me,
Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?
And you hide your sins from My creation,
And with disobedience (sins) you come to Me""
Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?
And you hide your sins from My creation,
And with disobedience (sins) you come to Me""
Ahmad said, "Read it to me again", so he did. Then Ahmad went into his house
and closed the door. Then Abu Hamid said, “I could hear him from inside the
house weeping and reciting :
إذا ما قال لي ربي
أما استحييت تعصيني
وتخفي
الذنب عن خلقي
وبالعصيان تأتيني
"When my Lord asks me,
Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?
You hide your sins from My creation,
And with disobedience (sins) you come to Me""
