إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَيْنِ إِذَا اعْتَنَقَا غَمَرَتْهُمَا الرَّحْمَةُ فَإِذَا الْتَزَمَا لَا يُرِيدَانِ بِذَلِكَ إِلَّا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا يُرِيدَانِ غَرَضاً مِنْ أَغْرَاضِ الدُّنْيَا قِيلَ لَهُمَا مَغْفُوراً لَكُمَا فَاسْتَأْنِفَا فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَا عَلَى الْمُسَاءَلَةِ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَعْضُهَا لِبَعْضِ تَنَحَّوْا عَنْهُمَا فَإِنَّ لَهُمَا سِرّاً وَ قَدْ سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَلَا يُكْتَبُ عَلَيْهِمَا لَفْظُهُمَا وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ما يَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ قَالَ فَتَنَفَّسَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الصُّعَدَاءَ ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى اخْضَلَّتْ دُمُوعُهُ لِحْيَتَهُ وَ قَالَ يَا إِسْحَاقُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنَّمَا أَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلَ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنَيْنِ إِذَا الْتَقَيَا إِجْلَالًا لَهُمَا وَ إِنَّهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ لَا تَكْتُبُ لَفْظَهُمَا وَ لَا تَعْرِفُ كَلَامَهُمَا فَإِنَّهُ يَعْرِفُهُ وَ يَحْفَظُهُ عَلَيْهِمَا عَالِمُ السِّرِّ وَ أَخْفَى .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his brother, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, when two embrace, they would both be engulfed by the Mercy. So when both of the continue, not intending by that except for the Face of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and not intending any purpose from the purposes of the world, it would be Said to both of them: ‘You are both Forgiven your sins, so resume (anew again). So when they face each other upon the discussion, the Angels say to each other: ‘Leave them alone, for there is a private matter for them, and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> has Veiled upon them’. Is’haq (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>! So their word would not be written against them, and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:50#h18"><a href="/books/quran:50#h18">[50:18]</a></a> He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand</span>?’ So Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> took a sighing breath, then wept until his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> tears moistened his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> beard, and said: ‘O Is’haq! Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Blessed and High rather Commands the Angels that they should isolate themselves from the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> when they meet due to their majesty; and it is such and if the Angels do not write their words and do not recognise their speech, so it is Recognised and Preserved upon them by the Knower of the secrets and the hidden matters’.
