Dzun Nun Al Mishri Rahimahullah said:

Humans are all dead except the scholars, and the scholars are all asleep except the workers, and the workers are all deceived except the sincere people, and the sincere people are in great danger. Allah SWT says: {That honest people will be questioned about the truth}

“All humans die (perish) except the scholars. The scholars are all asleep (negligent) except those who practice their knowledge. People who do good are all deceived except those who are sincere. And those who are sincere are in great danger.”

Allah Ta’ala says:

“So that He may question honest people about the truth”

“That He may ask the righteous about their righteousness.” (QS. Al-Ahzab: 8)

(Imam Al Baihaqi, Syu’abul Iman, no. 6455)

The meaning of this expression is:

– Most humans are in perdition because of ignorance and deviation.

– Knowledgeable people are safe because of their knowledge, but their knowledge is useless if it is not put into practice.

– People who do good deeds are not necessarily safe if their deeds are not accompanied by sincerity.

– Even sincere people must always be afraid and alert so that their sincerity is not damaged by riya’, ujub, sum’ah, or other worldly goals. Therefore it is said that they are “in great danger”, namely because maintaining sincerity is a very difficult matter and the human heart is easily changeable.

Wallahu A’lam
