The Believer Is The Mirror Of The Believer

It is incumbent upon the believer to render thanks that he is not an unbeliever, and it is incumbent upon the unbeliever to render thanks that at least he's not hypocrite.
Among the hadiths that are unusual and not well known, one tells us that when hell is empty of the folk of hell, and its nether reaches are empty, a people will come to look around. When they come near to the nether reaches, they will see that the doors are banging together, opening and shutting, and that it is empty like ruined house. They will hear the lamenting  of the folk of hypocrisy.
"Are you still here?"
They will say, "We were the tribe of hypocritical folk, who have no possibility of deliverance, nor the possibility of becoming settled"
Shams ad-Din Khu'i narrated this hadith in the public lesson, but it has not become well known. However, those who are aware of the meaning will take the meaning from it.
Now, hypocrisy is open and secret. Open hypocrisy is far from us and far from our companions. But, one must strive against the hidden hypocrisy so that it will leave the human make-up.
The believer is the mirror of the believer. This means either that God is the mirror of the servant, or that the servant is the mirror of God. The words of the perfect are full like this.
