another group lived in mecca and medina and were deceived by them.. they did not monitor their hearts.. they did not purify their outward appearances and their inward selves.. perhaps their hearts were attached to their country.. you see them talking about that.. and they say we lived in mecca for such and such years.. and they are deceived because it is better for them to be in a town and their hearts are attached to mecca.. and if one of them lives in a neighborhood he must preserve the rights of neighbors.. if he lives in mecca he preserves the rights of allah almighty.. and if he lives in medina he preserves the rights of the prophet may allah bless him and grant him peace.. and who can do that?.. and these people are deceived by outward appearances.. they thought that walls would save them.. and it is impossible.. and perhaps his soul would not allow him to give a morsel of food as charity to a poor person.. how difficult is neighboring in the rights of creation.. so how about neighboring the creator!.. and how good is neighboring him by preserving ones limbs and heart..
وفرقة أخرى جاوروا بمكة والمدينة واغتروا بهما.. ولم يراقبوا قلوبهم.. ولم يطهروا ظواهرهم وبواطنهم.. وربما كانت قلوبهم متعلقة ببلادهم.. وتراهم يتحدثون بذلك.. ويقولون جاورنا بمكة كذا كذا سنة.. وهم مغرورون لأن الأقوم لهم أن يكونوا ببلدة وقلوبهم متعلقة بمكة.. وإن جاور أحدهم يجب عليه أن يحفظ حق الجوار.. فإن جاور بمكة حفظ حق الله تعالى.. وإن جاور بالمدينة حفظ حق النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم.. ومن يقدر على ذلك؟.. وهؤلاء مغرورون بالظواهر.. وظنوا أن الحيطان تنجيهم.. وهيهات.. وربما لا تسمح نفسه بلقمة يتصدق بها على فقير.. وما أصعب المجاورة فى حق الخلق.. فكيف بمجاورة الخالق!.. وما أحسن مجاورته بحفظ جوارحه وقلبه..
