دفتر سوم - بخش ۵۰ - توفیق میان این دو حدیث کی الرضا بالکفر کفر و حدیث دیگر من لم یرض بقضایی فلیطلب ربا سوای / Book Three - Section 50 - Reconciliation Between These Two Hadiths That 'Consent to Unbelief is Unbelief' and the Other Hadith 'Whoever is Not Content With My Decree Let Him Seek a Lord Other Than Me'

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

دی سؤالی کرد سایل مر مرازانک عاشق بود او بر ماجرا
Yesterday a questioner put a question to me,
for he was in love with the discourse.
گفت نکتهٔ الرضا بالکفر کفراین پیمبر گفت و گفت اوست مهر
He said: the subtlety of "al-riḍā bi'l-kufr kufr" —
the Prophet spoke this, and his word is a seal.
باز فرمود او که اندر هر قضامر مسلمان را رضا باید رضا
Yet he also commanded that in every decree
the Muslim must have acceptance — yes, acceptance.
نه قضای حق بود کفر و نفاقگر بدین راضی شوم باشد شقاق
But were unbelief and hypocrisy the decree of God?
If I consent to this, it would be schism.
ور نیم راضی بود آن هم زیانپس چه چاره باشدم اندر میان
And if I do not consent, that too is a loss.
So what remedy have I in between?
گفتمش این کفر مقضی نه قضاستهست آثار قضا این کفر راست
I said to him: this unbelief is the decreed (maqḍī), not the decree (qaḍā);
this unbelief is truly the effects (āthār) of the decree.
پس قضا را خواجه از مقضی بدانتا شکالت دفع گردد در زمان
So distinguish the decree (qaḍā) from the decreed (maqḍī), O master,
and your difficulty will be resolved at once.
راضیم در کفر زان رو که قضاستنه ازین رو که نزاع و خبث ماست
I consent to unbelief from that angle — because it is the decree —
not from this angle — that it is our own quarrel and wickedness.
کفر از روی قضا خود کفر نیستحق را کافر مخوان اینجا مه ایست
Unbelief, from the side of the decree, is not unbelief itself.
Do not call the Real (Ḥaqq) an unbeliever — do not linger here.
کفر جهلست و قضای کفر علمهر دو کی یک باشد آخر حلم و خلم
Unbelief is ignorance, but the decree of unbelief is knowledge.
How can the two ever be one? — consider forbearance (ḥilm) and boorishness (khilm).
زشتی خط زشتی نقاش نیستبلک از وی زشت را بنمودنیست
The ugliness of a line is not the ugliness of the painter;
rather, through him the ugly is made manifest.
قوت نقاش باشد آنک اوهم تواند زشت کردن هم نکو
The power of the painter is precisely this: that he
can render both the ugly and the beautiful.
گر کشانم بحث این را من بسازتا سؤال و تا جواب آید دراز
If I drag this discussion along and extend it,
question and answer would run long.
ذوق نکتهٔ عشق از من می رودنقش خدمت نقش دیگر می شود
The taste of love's subtlety is leaving me,
the form of service becomes a different form.
