Bismillah. Thread. On the Highest of all Spiritual Stations

The believers are of 3 stations.

First : Those who desire reward and fear punishment. This station is that of ‘Ibādah and it concerns the actions of the body in obedience to the Divine Command.
Second : Those who desire higher stations in the Hereafter. This is the station of ‘Ubūdiyyah and it is concerned with the soul in its complete satisfaction with the Divine Imperative.
Third, the Highest : The Gnostics (The Knowers of God)

This is the station of the Innermost Secret in its worship of Allah out of Magnification, Awe and Hayā’.

It is the Station of the Four Rightly-Guided Caliphs
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr worshiped Allah out of Awe and Magnification.

Sayyiduna Umar worshiped Allah out of Fear and Awe.

Sayyiduna Uthman worshiped Allah out of Hayā’.

Sayyiduna Ali worshiped Allah out of Love.

رضى الله تعالى عنهم
عند بعض السالكين هي العبادة له تعالى إجلالا وهيبة وحياء منه ومحبة له، وهي أعلى من العبودية وهي أعلى من العبادة. فالعبادة محلها البدن وهي إقامة الأمر، والعبودية محلّها الروح وهي الرضاء بالحكم، والعبودة محلها السّر.

والخلفاء الراشدون كلّهم كانوا في مرتبة العبودة
فكان الصدّيق رضي الله عنه يعبده إجلالا وتعظيما كما أشار إليه عليه السلام (لم يفضلكم أبو بكر بكثرة صيام ولا صلاة وإنّما فضّلكم بشيء وقر في صدره وذلك الشيء عظمة الله وإجلاله) «3»

وكان عمر رضي الله عنه يعبده خوفا وهيبة، ولذلك كان مهيبا: (من خاف الله خاف منه كل شيء) «4».
وكان عثمان رضي الله عنه يعبده حياء. قال عليه السلام: (ألا تستحيي ممّن تستحيي منه ملائكة السماء) «5»

وكان عليّ رضي الله عنه يعبده محبّة.

قال تعالى: وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعامَ عَلى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِيناً «6» الآية، كذا في مجمع السلوك.
