بخش ۳ - ۲ ابوحفص عمر بن الخطاب، رضی اللّه عنه / Section 3 - 2 Abu Hafs Umar ibn al-Khattab, May Allah Be Pleased with Him

Original content

و منهم: سرهنگ اهل ایمان و صعلوک جمع اهل احسان، امام اهل تحقیق اندر بحر محبت غریق، ابوحفص عمربن الخطاب، رضی الله عنه
که وی را کرامات مشهور است وفراسات مذکور و مخصوص بود به فراست و صلابت. و وی را لطایف است اندر این طریقت و حقایق اندر این معنی؛ کما قال، علیه السلام: «الحق ینطق علی لسان عمر، حق بر زبان عمر سخن گوید.» و نیز گفت، علیه السلام: «قد کان فی الأمم محدثون فإن یکن فی أمتی فعمر، اندر امتان پیشین محدثان بودند و اگر در این امت بباشد عمر است.»

و وی را در این طریقت رموز لطیف بسیار است، اندر این کتاب جمله را احصا نتوان کرد؛ اما از وی می آید که گفت: «العزلة راحة من خلطاء السوء.»
عزلت راحت بود از همنشینان بد و عزلت بر دو گونه بود: یکی اعراض از خلق، و دیگر انقطاع از ایشان و اعراض از خلق گزیدن جای خالی بود و تبرا کردن از محبت اجناس به ظاهرو آرامیدن با خود به رؤیت عیوب اعمال خود و خلاص جستن خود را از مخالطت مردمان و ایمن گردانیدن خلق را از بد خود؛ اما انقطاع از خلق به دل بود و صفت دل را به ظاهر هیچ تعلق نباشد چون کسی به دل منقطع بود از خلق و محبت ایشان وی را هیچ خبر نباشد از مخلوقات که اندیشهٔ آن بر دلش مستولی گردد. آنگاه این کس اگرچه در میان خلق بود، از خلق وحید بود و همتش از ایشان فرید بود و این مقامی بس عالی و بعید بود و راست این صفت عمر بود رضی الله عنه که از راحت عزلت نشان داد، و وی به ظاهر اندر میان ولایت امارت و خلافت بود و این دلیل واضح است که اهل باطن اگرچه به ظاهر با خلق آمیخته باشند، دلشان به حق آویخته باشد و اندر جمله حال بدو راجع باشند و آن مقدار صحبت که با خلق کنند از حق بلاشمرند و از حق تعالی بدان صحبت با خلق نگردند؛ که هرگز دنیا مر دوستان حق را مصفا نگردد و ا حوال آن مهنا نشود؛ چنان که عمر گفت، رضی الله عنه: «دار أسست علی البلوی بلا بلوی محال. سرایی که اساس آن بر بلا و بلیت بود محال باشد که هرگز از بلا خالی بود.»

و عمر رضی الله عنه از خواص اهل و اصحاب رسول علیه السلام بود و اندر حضرت حق تعالی به همه افعال مقبول بود؛ تا حدی که جبرئیل علیه السلام اندر ابتدای عهد اسلام عمر بیامد و رسول را گفت: «یا محمد، قد استبشر أهل السماء الیوم بإسلام عمر.»
پس اقتدای این طایفه به لبس مرقعه و صلابت دین بدوست؛ از بعد آن که وی به جمله انواع مر خلق عالم را امام است، رضی الله عنه.

English translation

And among them: the commander of the people of faith and the ascetic of the assembly of the people of beneficence, the imam of the people of realization, drowned in the sea of love, Abu Hafs Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who is renowned for his miracles and celebrated for his discernment, and was distinguished by insight and firmness. And he has subtleties in this path and truths in this meaning; as the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'Truth speaks upon the tongue of Umar.' And he also said, peace be upon him: 'Among the former nations there were those who were divinely inspired, and if there be such in my nation, it is Umar.' And he has many subtle symbols in this path, all of which cannot be enumerated in this book; but it is related from him that he said: 'Seclusion is rest from evil companions.' Seclusion is rest from bad companions, and seclusion is of two kinds: one is turning away from people, and the other is cutting off from them. Turning away from people is to choose a solitary place, and to outwardly renounce love of one's own kind, and to be at peace with oneself through seeing the faults of one's own deeds, and to seek one's own release from mixing with people, and to make people safe from one's own evil; but cutting off from people is with the heart, and the attribute of the heart has no connection to the outward. When someone is inwardly cut off from people and from love of them, he has no awareness of created things such that thought of them would dominate his heart. Then such a person, though he be among people, is alone from people, and his aspiration is set apart from them, and this is a very lofty and remote station; and this attribute was truly Umar's, may Allah be pleased with him, who gave a sign of the rest of seclusion, while outwardly he was amid governance, command, and the caliphate. And this is clear proof that the people of the inward, though outwardly mixed with people, have their hearts attached to the Truth and in every state return to Him, and that measure of companionship they keep with people they count as a trial from the Truth, and by that companionship with people they are not turned away from the Truth Most High; for the world is never made pure for the friends of the Truth, nor do its states become wholesome; as Umar said, may Allah be pleased with him: 'A dwelling founded upon tribulation being without tribulation is impossible.' A house whose foundation is upon affliction and tribulation - it is impossible that it should ever be free of affliction. And Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, was among the elite of the household and companions of the Messenger, peace be upon him, and in the presence of the Truth Most High he was accepted in all his deeds; to such a degree that Gabriel, peace be upon him, came at the beginning of the time of Umar's Islam and said to the Messenger: 'O Muhammad, the people of heaven rejoice today at the Islam of Umar.' So the following of this group in wearing the patched cloak and in firmness of religion is after him; besides that he is, in all respects, an imam for the people of the world, may Allah be pleased with him.
