I heard my Master al-Sadiq (as) say: Among that which Allah whispered to Musa b. `Imran (as) was that He said to him: “O son of `Imran! One who alleges that he loves Me yet sleeps away from Me when night befalls him has lied. Doesn’t every lover love to be alone with his beloved? I am here, O son of `Imran, looking at My lovers – when night befalls them, their sights are diverted by their hearts, and they become fixed upon My punishment. So, they address Me as [though] witnessing [Me] and they speak to Me as [though] present [with Me]. O son of `Imran! Grant Me humility in your heart, submission in your body, and tears in your eyes in the darkness of the night. Call to Me, for you will find Me near and responsive.”

سمعت مولاي الصادق (عليه السلام) يقول: كان فيما ناجى الله عز وجل به موسى بن عمران (عليه السلام) أن قال له: يا بن عمران، كذب من زعم أنه يحبني فإذا جنه الليل نام عني، أليس كل محب يحب خلوة حبيبه، ها أنا ذا - يا بن عمران - مطلع على أحبائي، إذا جنهم الليل حولت أبصارهم من قلوبهم، ومثلت عقوبتي بين أعينهم، يخاطبوني عن المشاهدة، ويكلموني عن الحضور. يا بن عمران، هب لي من قلبك الخشوع، ومن بدنك الخضوع، ومن عينيك الدموع في ظلم الليل، وادعني فإنك تجدني قريبا مجيبا (1).
