Hadith.5833 - Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Said Al-Hamdani, who said: Al-Hasan ibn Al-Qasim recited to me, saying: Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Al-Mualla narrated to us, who said: Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Khalid narrated to us, who said: Abdullah ibn Bakr Al-Muradi narrated from Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as), from his father Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq, from his grandfather Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as), from his father Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as), peace be upon him, who said: "One day, the Commander of the Faithful (as), peace be upon him, was sitting with his companions, preparing them for battle. A man, bearing the signs of travel, approached and asked: "Where is the Commander of the Faithful?" They replied: "Here he is." He greeted Imam (as) and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful (as), I have come to you from the region of Sham. I am an old man who has heard countless virtues about you, and I believe that you may be assassinated. Teach me from what Allah (swt) has taught you." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Yes, O' elderly man; 'Whoever's two days are equal is at a loss.' 'Whoever makes this world his main concern will suffer greatly at its departure.' 'Whoever's tomorrow is worse than his today is deprived.' 'Whoever does not care about what he loses from his Hereafter as long as his worldly affairs are intact is destroyed.' 'Whoever does not regularly examine his own shortcomings will be overtaken by his desires.' And 'whoever is in a state of deficiency, death is better for him.' O' elderly man, be pleased for people with what you are pleased for yourself and treat people as you would like to be treated." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) turned to his companions and said: "O' people, do you not see how the people of this world end their evenings and begin their mornings in various conditions? Among them is one who is writhing in pain, another visiting and being visited, another struggling with his soul, another who has no hope left, another who is shrouded, one who seeks the world while death is seeking him, one who is heedless yet is not forgotten, and the remaining are following in the footsteps of those who have passed." Zayd ibn Suhan Al-Abdi then asked: "O' Commander of the Faithful (as), which power is the most dominant and strongest?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Desire." He (Zayd) asked: "Which humiliation is the most degrading?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Greed for the world." He (Zayd) asked: "Which poverty is the most severe?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Disbelief after faith." He (Zayd) asked: "Which call is the most misguided?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who calls for what cannot be." He (Zayd) asked: "Which deed is the best?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Piety." He (Zayd) asked: "Which action is the most successful?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Seeking what is with Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic." He (Zayd) asked: "Who is the worst companion for you?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who beautifies disobedience to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, for you." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among creation is the most wretched?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who sells his religion for the worldly life of another." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among creation is the strongest?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who is patient and forbearing." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among creation is the most miserly?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who acquires wealth unlawfully and spends it inappropriately." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people is the wisest?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who recognizes his guidance from his misguidance and inclines towards his guidance." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people is the most patient?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who does not become angry." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people has the most steadfast opinion?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who is not deceived by people about himself and whom the world does not deceive with its attractions." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people is the most foolish?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who is deluded by the world despite witnessing its changing conditions." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people will have the greatest regret?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who is deprived of both this world and the Hereafter - that is the clear loss." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among creation is the most blind?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who acts for other than Allah (swt) while seeking reward for his actions from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic." He (Zayd) asked: "Which contentment is the best?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Being content with what Allah (swt), the Majestic, has given." He (Zayd) asked: "Which affliction is the most severe?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The affliction in religion." He (Zayd) asked: "Which deeds are most beloved to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Awaiting relief (deliverance)." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people is the best in the sight of Allah (swt)?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who fears Allah (swt) the most, acts most righteously with piety, and is the most detached from the world." He (Zayd) asked: "Which speech is the best in the sight of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Abundant remembrance of Him (swt) and humbly supplicating to Him (swt) in prayer." He (Zayd) asked: "Which statement is the most truthful?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The testimony that there is 'no God but Allah (swt)'." He (Zayd) asked: "Which deeds are the greatest before Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "Submission (to Allah (swt)) and piety." He (Zayd) asked: "Who among people is the most truthful?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "The one who is truthful in all circumstances." Then the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, turned to the elderly man and said: "O' elderly man, indeed Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has created people upon whom He (swt) has narrowed the worldly life, looking upon them with care. He (swt) made them disinterested in it and in its fleeting pleasures, so they longed for the Abode of Peace (Paradise) to which He (swt) invited them. They patiently endured the hardship of life and bore difficulties, yearning for the honor that is with Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. They sacrificed themselves seeking Allah's (swt) pleasure, and the conclusion of their deeds was martyrdom. Thus, they met Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, while He (swt) was pleased with them. They (these people) have understood that death is the path for those who have passed and those who remain. Therefore, they prepared for their Hereafter, not with gold or silver, but by wearing coarse garments, patiently enduring trials, prioritizing virtue, loving for the sake of Allah (swt), and hating for the sake of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. They are the beacons of light and the people of bliss in the Hereafter. And peace be upon you." The elderly man said: "Where could I go, leaving Paradise behind when I can see it and see its people with you, O' Commander of the Faithful (as)? Equip me with strength so that I may fight your enemies." So the Commander of the Faithful (as), peace be upon him, provided him with weapons and provisions. The elderly man joined the battle, fighting in front of Commander of the Faithful (as), peace be upon him, striking (fighting) with great vigor. The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, was amazed at what the elderly man did. When the battle intensified, the elderly man charged his horse forwards until he was martyred - may Allah (swt) have mercy on him. One of the companions of the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, followed him and found him lying lifeless, his mount nearby, and his sword still in his hand. When the battle ended, the companion brought his mount and weapons to the Commander of the Faithful. The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, prayed over him and said: "This (elderly) man, by Allah (swt), is truly fortunate. So seek mercy for your brother."

Hadith.5834 - The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, said in his will to his son Muhammad ibn Al-Hanafiyyah, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him: "O' my son, beware of relying on vain hopes, for they are the merchandise of the foolish and a hindrance from the Hereafter. One of the best fortunes a person can have is a righteous companion - sit with the people of goodness, and you will be one of them; separate yourself from the people of evil. Keep away from those who divert you from the remembrance of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, and the remembrance of death with embellished falsehoods and fabricated rumors. Do not let ill thoughts about Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, overpower you, for they will not leave any reconciliation between you and your friend. Discipline your heart with good manners as fire is kindled with wood, for good manners are a great aid for one's nature, and experiences are a guide for the wise. Combine the opinions of different men, then choose the one closest to correctness and farthest from doubt. O' my son, there is no honor higher than Islam, no dignity greater than piety, n o stronghold more secure than restraint, no intercessor more effective than repentance, no garment more beautiful than well-being, no protection stronger than safety, and no treasure wealthier than contentment. And there is no wealth that removes poverty better than contentment with sustenance. Whoever suffices with the bare necessities has attained ease and settled in comfort. Greed leads to plunging into sins. Cast away intrusive worries with firm resolve in patience. Accustom yourself to patience, for it is the best of manners, and endure the hardships and concerns of this world. The successful ones have triumphed, and those for whom Allah (swt) has decreed goodness have been saved, for patience is a shield against poverty. Entrust all your affairs to Allah (swt), the One (swt), the All-Dominant (swt), for in doing so, you take refuge in a fortified cave, a secure stronghold, and an invincible protector. Sincerely direct your supplications to your Lord (swt), for in His (swt) hands are all good and evil, giving and withholding, granting and depriving." And Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), said in this will: "O' my son, sustenance is of two kinds: one that you seek, and one that seeks you. If you do not go to it, it will come to you. So do not burden yourself with the worries of your entire year upon the concern of your day; each day is sufficient with what it holds. If the year is part of your life, then Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, will bring to you each day what He (swt) has apportioned for you. And if the year is not part of your life, then why concern yourself with grief and anxiety over what is not yours? Know that no seeker can overtake you in your sustenance, nor can anyone overpower you in it, and what has been decreed for you will not be kept from you. How many seekers have you seen exhausting themselves, yet their provision remains restricted, while others who seek with moderation find that destiny aids them? And everything is accompanied by its end. Today is yours, but you have no certainty of reaching tomorrow. How many have awaited a day they never lived to see? How many were envied at the beginning of a night, yet by its end, they were mourned? So do not be deceived by the prolonged presence of blessings from Allah (swt) or by the delay in the arrival of punishment, for if He (swt) feared missing the opportunity, He (swt) would hasten the punishment before death. O' my son, accept the wisdom of the wise, reflect upon their judgments, and be the one who adheres most to what you command others and refrains most from what you forbid. Enjoin what is good so that you may be among its people, for the completion of matters lies with Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted." Enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and seek understanding in religion, for the jurists are the inheritors of the prophets. The prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams, but rather, they left behind knowledge, and whoever takes from it has taken a great share. Know that the seeker of knowledge is prayed for by those in the heavens and the earth, even the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea. The angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge out of pleasure for him. In knowledge, there is the honor of this world and success in Paradise on the Day of Judgment, for the jurists are the callers to Paradise and the guides to Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted. Treat all people kindly just as you would like to be treated, and be pleased for them with what you are pleased with for yourself. Dislike for yourself what you dislike in others, and perfect your character with all people so that if you are absent, they long for you, and if you die, they weep for you and say, 'Indeed, we belong to Allah (swt), and indeed, to Him we shall return.'" And do not be among those about whom it is said at their death: 'All praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord of the worlds.' (being grateful of your demise) Know that the essence of intellect, after faith in Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, is managing relationships with people. There is no good in one who does not deal kindly with those whom he must interact with, until Allah (swt) provides a way for deliverance from them. Indeed, I have found that everything by which people live and associate with one another fills a measure - two-thirds of it is appreciation, and one-third of it is overlooking faults. Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, has created nothing better than speech, and nothing more disgraceful than it. With speech, faces are brightened, and with speech, faces are blackened. Know that speech remains under your control as long as you have not spoken it, but once you have spoken it, you become under its control. So guard your tongue as you would guard your gold and silver, for the tongue is a vicious dog - if you release it, it will bite. Many a word has stripped a person of blessings. Whoever lets go of his restraint is led to every undesirable and disgraceful act, and he will not be saved from his time except with the wrath of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic and blame from people will follow the one who risks himself by relying solely on his own opinion. Whoever considers multiple perspectives will recognize where mistakes lie. Whoever rushes into matters without looking at the consequences exposes himself to devastating calamities. Planning before action protects you from regret. The intelligent one is he who learns from experiences, for in experiences lies new knowledge, and in the changes of circumstances lies the knowledge of the true nature of men. The passing of days reveals hidden secrets. Understand this will of mine, and do not disregard it, for the best speech is that which benefits. Know, O' my son, that you must carefully seek provision and take only what is necessary while keeping your burden light. Do not load upon your back more than you can bear, lest it becomes a heavy burden upon you in your resurrection on the Day of Judgment. The worst provision for the Hereafter is oppression against the servants of Allah (swt). Know that ahead of you are dangers, pitfalls, bridges, and a steep ascent, which you will inevitably descend. Its descent will either lead to Paradise or to Hell. So prepare yourself before you reach it. If you find among those in need someone who can carry your provision to the Hereafter, so that he may deliver it to you when you are in dire need of it, then take advantage of this opportunity, and let him carry it for you while you have the ability. Perhaps a time will come when you seek such an opportunity but will not find it. Beware of entrusting your provisions to one who lacks piety and honesty, lest your condition be like that of a thirsty person who sees a mirage, but when he reaches it, he finds nothing, and so he remains stranded in the Hereafter with nothing to sustain him." And Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said in this will: "O' my son, oppression leads to ruin. No one will perish who knows his own worth. Whoever safeguards his desires preserves his dignity. The worth of every person is in what they excel at. Reflection brings guidance. The noblest wealth is to abandon false hopes. Greed is present poverty. Affection is an acquired kinship. Your true friend is your brother from your father and mother, but not every sibling from your parents is your friend. Do not take the enemy of your friend as a friend, lest you become an enemy to your own friend. How many distant people are closer to you than those who are near? A generous yet poor person is better than a wealthy but rude one. Admonition is a refuge for those who heed it. Whoever boasts of his favor (to others) spoils it (their reward). Whoever has bad manners torments himself, and resentment is more fitting for him. It is unjust to judge based on suspicion when trust is required. How ugly is arrogance in victory, despair in hardship, cruelty to a neighbor, betrayal of a companion, breaking an oath by a noble person, and treachery from a ruler. Denying blessings leads to destruction, and keeping company with a fool is misfortune. Acknowledge the right of those who uphold it, whether they are noble or lowly. Whoever abandons moderation goes astray. Whoever oversteps justice finds his path narrow. How many ailing people have survived, and how many healthy ones have perished? Sometimes despair leads to success, and greed leads to destruction. Reconcile with those whom you hope will accept your apology. Never sleep with betrayal in your heart toward anyone, for betrayal is the worst trait of a Muslim. Whoever betrays is likely to never be trusted again. Corruption ruins abundance, while moderation increases little. Of nobility is fulfilling covenants. Whoever is generous will lead, and whoever seeks understanding will increase in wisdom. Be sincere in advising your brother and support him in all matters, as long as he does not lead you into disobedience to Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic." Stay with your brother wherever he goes. Do not sever ties with him over doubt, nor cut him off without first seeking reconciliation - perhaps he has an excuse while you blame him. Accept the apology of one who seeks pardon, so that intercession may reach you. Honor those through whom you gain strength, and lengthen your companionship with them in kindness, respect, reverence, and esteem. The recompense of one who elevates your status is not that you lower his, and the reward of one who brings you joy is not that you cause him sorrow. Show as much kindness as you can to your companion, for when you wish, you will find his guidance. The faults of one clothed in modesty remain hidden from sight. Whoever maintains moderation finds his burdens lightened. Whoever does not grant his soul its desires attains wisdom. With every hardship, there is ease, and with every meal, there may be choking. No blessing is attained except after hardship. Be gentle with one who angers you, and you will achieve your goal. The hours of distress are hours of atonement, and time gradually consumes your life. There is no good in a pleasure that is followed by the Fire. And no good is truly good if it is followed by the Fire, and no evil is truly evil if it is followed by Paradise. Every pleasure besides Paradise is insignificant, and every hardship besides the Fire is a form of well-being. Do not neglect your brother's right, relying on the bond between you and him, for he is not truly your brother if you disregard his right. Do not let your brother be stronger in cutting ties with you than you are in maintaining them, nor let him be more capable of harming you than you are of showing kindness to him. O' my son, when you are strong, then be strong in obedience to Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, and when you are weak, then let your weakness be in avoiding disobedience to Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic. If you can, do not grant a woman authority over her affairs beyond herself, for that preserves her beauty longer, brings her more peace of mind, and improves her condition. A woman is like a delicate flower, not a steward - so treat her kindly in every situation, and be good in your companionship with her so that your life may be peaceful. Accept fate with contentment. If you wish to gather the best of this world and the Hereafter, then cut your expectations from what is in the hands of people. And peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah (swt), and His (swt) blessings."

Hadith.5835 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Aban ibn Uthman, Hisham ibn Salim, and Muhammad ibn Humran from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), who said: "I am amazed at the one who becomes afraid - how does he not turn to the words of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: 'Allah (swt) is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs' (Surah AAl-E-Imran 3:173)? For I heard Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, say immediately after it: 'So they returned with favor from Allah (swt) and bounty, no harm having touched them' (Surah AAl-E-Imran 3:174). And I am amazed at the one who is distressed - how does he not turn to His saying: 'There is no God but You; glory be to You! Indeed, I was among the wrongdoers' (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:87)? For I heard Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, say after it: 'So We responded to him and saved him from distress. And thus do We save the believers' (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:88). And I am amazed at the one who is plotted against - how does he not turn to His (swt) saying: 'I entrust my affair to Allah (swt). Indeed, Allah (swt) is Seeing of the servants' (Surah Ghafir 40:44)? For I heard Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, say after it: 'So Allah (swt) protected him from the evil of their plots' (Surah Ghafir 40:45). And I am amazed at the one who desires the world and its adornments - how does he not turn to His (swt) saying: 'What Allah (swt) wills [will happen]. There is no power except with Allah (swt)' (Surah Al-Kahf 18:39)? For I heard Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, say after it: 'If you see me less than you in wealth and children, perhaps my Lord (azj) will give me something better than your garden' (Surah Al-Kahf 18:39). And indeed, the word 'perhaps' necessitates fulfillment."

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), said to him: "If Allah (swt), the Exalted, has ensured sustenance, then why are you anxious about it? If sustenance is already apportioned, then why the greed?

If punishment from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is the Fire, then why the disobedience? If death is inevitable, then why the joy (in worldly matters)? If standing before Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is certain, then why the deceit? If Satan is an enemy, then why the heedlessness? If crossing the Sirat (the bridge over Hell) is certain, then why the arrogance? If everything is by Allah's (swt) decree and destiny, then why the sorrow? And if the world is perishable, then why the tranquility in it?"

Hadith.5840 - Yunus ibn Zabyan narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), that he said: "Being well-known for worship is a source of suspicion.

The most generous of people, is the one who pays the zakat on his wealth. The most ascetic of people, is the one who avoids what is forbidden. The most God-fearing of people, is the one who speaks the truth, whether it is for or against him.

The least comfortable of people, is the miser. The stingiest of people, is the one who withholds what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has made obligatory.'" Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "The person most entitled to the truth is the one most knowledgeable of it. The least respected among people, is the sinner. The least loyal among people, is the servant. The one with the fewest friends, is the king. The poorest of people, is the one consumed by greed. The richest of people, is the one who is not enslaved by desire. The best in faith among people, is the one with the best character. The most honorable of people, is the most God-conscious.

The wisest of people, is the one who avoids ignorant people. The happiest of people, is the one who associates with honorable people. The most intelligent of people, is the one who deals most patiently with people. The most deserving of suspicion, is the one who keeps the company of suspicious people. The most rebellious of people, is the one who kills someone who did not kill him or strikes someone who did not strike him. The person most worthy of forgiveness, is the one most capable of punishment. The most deserving of blame, is the foolish backbiter. The most humiliated of people, is the one who humiliates others. The most composed of people, is the one who suppresses anger the most. The most righteous of people, is the one who is most beneficial to others.

So speak only about what concerns you and leave what does not concern you."

I have never drunk wine because I knew if I drank it, my mind would be gone. I have never lied because lying diminishes honor. I have never committed adultery because I feared that if I did it, the same would be done to me. I have never worshiped an idol because I knew it could neither harm nor benefit.' The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, placed his hand on Jafar's (as) shoulder and said: 'It is a right upon Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, to grant you two wings with which you will fly with the angels in Paradise.'"

For indeed, Musa ibn Imran (as), peace be upon him, went out to bring fire for his family and returned as a prophet after Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, spoke to him. The Queen of Sheba went out and embraced Islam with Prophet Sulayman, peace be upon him. And the magicians of Pharaoh went out seeking honor for Pharaoh but returned as believers."

[3]رواه الطبراني في الكبير، و عبد الرزاق في الجامع عن ابن عبّاس كما في الجامع الصغير. و المراد بحملة القرآن حفاظه العاملون بمقتضاه و يمكن أن يكون المراد الأئمّة عليهم السلام لكونهم حفاظه و حملة معانيه، و الأول أظهر. و المراد بأصحاب الليل الذين يحيونه بالتهجد و تلاوة الكتاب و الذكر و الاستغفار.ص 399

Hadith.5856 - Jibr'il (Gabriel), peace be upon him, descended upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and the Prophet said to him: "O' Jibr'il, advise me."

Do whatever you wish, for you will surely be recompensed for it. The honor of a believer lies in his prayer during the night, and his dignity is in refraining from harming others."

Hadith.5858 - Ali ibn Mahziyar narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Al-Harith ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Numan Al-Ahwal, known as Sahib Al-Taq, from Jamil ibn Salih, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Whoever wishes to be the most honored among people should fear Allah (swt). Whoever wishes to be the most pious among people should place his trust in Allah (swt), the Exalted. And whoever wishes to be the richest among people should have more trust in what is with Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, than in what is in his own hands." Then Prophet (sw), peace be upon him, said: "Shall I inform you of the worst of people?" They replied: "Yes, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "The one who hates people and whom people hate." Then Prophet (sw) said: "Shall I inform you of someone worse than that?" They said: "Yes, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "The one who does not forgive a slip, does not accept an excuse, and does not pardon a sin." Then Prophet (sw) said: "Shall I inform you of someone even worse than that?" They said: "Yes, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "The one whose harm is not safe from and whose goodness is not hoped for. Indeed, Isa (Jesus) (as), the son of Mary {s.a}, peace be upon him, stood among the Children of Israel and said: 'O' Children of Israel, do not speak wisdom to the ignorant lest you wrong it, and do not withhold it from its rightful people lest you wrong them. Do not support the oppressor in his oppression, or your virtue will be nullified. Matters are of three kinds: A matter whose guidance is clear to you, so follow it. A matter whose misguidance is clear to you, so avoid it. And a matter in which there is disagreement, so refer it back to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic.'"

Hadith.5862 - Muhammad ibn Sinan narrated from Abdullah ibn Muskan, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), peace be upon him, who said: "Indeed, the people most deserving to wish for others to be wealthy are the misers because if people become self-sufficient, they will refrain from seeking their wealth. And the people most deserving to wish for others to be righteous are those with flaws because if people become righteous, they will stop pursuing their faults. And the people most deserving to wish for others to be forbearing are the foolish, for they need others to pardon their foolishness. Yet, the misers wish for people to be poor, the flawed wish for others to have faults, and the foolish wish for others to be foolish. In poverty lies the need for the miser, in corruption lies the exposure of the flawed, and in foolishness lies the reciprocation of sins."

Then Imam (as), peace be upon him, initiated the conversation and said: 'Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has granted you faith, by which He (swt) has made your body forbidden to the Fire. He (swt) has granted you well-being, enabling you to obey Him (swt). He (swt) has granted you contentment, protecting you from disgrace. O' Abu Hashim, I began with this because I thought you were about to complain to me about who has caused this hardship to you. I have ordered for you one hundred dinars, so take them.'"

Hadith.5868 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kinani, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Inform me about this statement, whose words are: 'I ask Allah (swt) for faith and piety, and I seek refuge in Allah (swt) from the evil consequences of matters. Indeed, the most honorable speech is the remembrance of Allah (swt), the Exalted, and the pinnacle of wisdom is obedience to Him. The most truthful speech, the most eloquent admonition, and the best of stories are found in the Book of Allah (swt). The firmest bond is faith in Allah (swt). The best of religions is the religion of Ibrahim, peace be upon him. The best of traditions is the tradition of the prophets. The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (sw). The best provision is piety. The best knowledge is that which benefits. The best guidance is that which is followed. The best wealth is the wealth of the soul. The best thing placed in the heart is certainty. The adornment of speech is truthfulness. The adornment of knowledge is benevolence. The most honorable death is martyrdom. The best of matters are those with favorable outcomes. That which is little and sufficient is better than that which is abundant and distracting. The truly unfortunate is the one who is doomed while still in his mother's womb. The truly fortunate is the one who takes heed from others. The wisest of the wise is the one who fears Allah (swt). The most foolish of the foolish is the one who engages in wickedness. The worst of narrations is falsehood. The worst of matters are their innovations. The worst blindness is the blindness of the heart. The worst regret is regret on the Day of Judgment. The greatest sinner in the sight of Allah (swt), the Exalted, is the lying tongue. The worst earnings are those acquired through usury. The worst food is that which is acquired through unlawfully consuming the orphan's wealth. The best adornment of a man is calmness with faith. Whoever pursues scandal, Allah (swt) will expose him. Whoever accepts trials will endure them, and whoever does not recognize them will reject them. Doubt is disbelief. Whoever is arrogant, Allah (swt) will humble him. Whoever obeys Satan disobeys Allah (swt). Whoever disobeys Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will punish him. Whoever gives thanks to Allah (swt), He will increase him. Whoever is patient in adversity, Allah (swt) will relieve him. Whoever relies on Allah (swt), He will suffice him. Whoever entrusts himself to Allah (swt), He will reward him. Do not incur Allah's (swt) wrath by seeking the approval of His (swt) creation. Do not seek nearness to creation by distancing yourself from Allah (swt). Indeed, there is nothing between Allah (swt), the Exalted, and His creation that can grant them goodness or protect them from harm except obedience to Him and seeking His pleasure. The obedience of Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, is the key to every good that is sought and the means to salvation from every evil that is feared. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted, safeguards those who obey Him, but those who disobey Him will find no protection from Him. No one can escape from Allah (swt), for His command is inevitable, even if creation dislikes it. Everything that is coming is near, and whatever Allah (swt) wills will be, and whatever He does not will shall never be. Cooperate in righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. Fear Allah (swt); indeed, Allah (swt) is severe in punishment.'" Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "This is the statement of Messenger of Allah (swt), blessings be upon him and his family."

Hadith.5869 - Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Allah (swt), the Glorified and Exalted, said: 'Whoever of My (swt) servants obeys Me (swt), I will not entrust him to anyone other than Myself (swt). And whoever disobeys Me (swt), I will leave him to himself, and I will not care in which valley he perishes.'"

Hadith.5871 - Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'When someone among My (swt) creation who knows Me (swt) proceeds to disobey Me (swt), I will set over him from My (swt) creation one who does not know Me (swt).'"

Imam (as) replied: "I woke up with my Lord (azj) above me, the Hellfire before me, death pursuing me, and the reckoning encircling me. I am held accountable by my own deeds. I do not attain what I desire, nor can I repel what I dislike. All matters are in the hands of someone other than myself. If He (swt) wills, He (swt) will punish me, and if He (swt) wills, He (swt) will forgive me. So, who is poorer than me?"

Hadith.5876 - Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "All goodness has been gathered in three qualities: looking, silence, and speech. Every glance that lacks reflection is heedlessness, every speech without the remembrance (of Allah (swt)) is idle talk, and every silence without contemplation is neglect. Glad tidings are for the one whose gaze is reflective, whose silence is thoughtful, whose speech is in remembrance, who weeps over his sins, and from whose harm people are safe."

Hadith.5880 - Amr ibn Shimr narrated from Jabir ibn Yazid Al-Ju'fi from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) from his father from his grandfather, peace be upon them, that Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, said in a sermon he delivered after the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family: "O' people, there is no honor higher than Islam, No dignity more precious than piety, No fortress more secure than restraint, No intercessor more successful than repentance, No treasure more beneficial than knowledge, No dignity more elevated than forbearance, No lineage more effective than good manners, No burden heavier than anger, No beauty more adorned than intellect, No disgrace worse than lying, No guard more vigilant than silence, No attire more beautiful than well-being, And no absent thing closer than death. O' people, whoever walks on the surface of the earth will eventually end up in its depths. The night and day hasten in demolishing the lifespan, and for every living soul, there is sustenance; for every grain, there is a consumer; and you are the sustenance of death. Whoever understands the nature of time will not neglect to prepare. Neither the wealthy due to their wealth nor the poor due to their lack will escape death. O' people, whoever fears his Lord (azj) will restrain his oppression. Whoever does not guard his speech reveals his foolishness. Whoever does not distinguish between good and evil is like the cattle. How insignificant is affliction compared to the great deprivation that awaits tomorrow! Alas! The only reason you have become estranged from each other is due to your sins and transgressions. How near is relief after hardship, and distress after prosperity! No evil is truly evil if followed by Paradise, and no good is truly good if followed by Hellfire. Every comfort short of Paradise is insignificant, and every trial short of Hellfire is safety.

Hadith.5882 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) passed by a group of people lifting a stone and said: "What is this and what drives you to do it?" They replied: "So we may know who among us is the strongest and most powerful." Prophet (sw) said: "Shall I not guide you to the strongest and mightiest among you?" They said: "Yes, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "The strongest and mightiest among you is the one who, when pleased, is not led by his pleasure into sin or falsehood, and when angry, his anger does not drive him away from speaking the truth, and when he possesses power, he does not take what is not rightfully his." In another narration, Prophet (sw) added: "And when he has authority, he does not claim what is not his by right."

Hadith.5883 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad Al-Hannat that he asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "And be good to parents." He asked: "What is this goodness (ihsan)?" Imam (as) replied: "Goodness is to treat them well in companionship and not to burden them to ask you for anything they need, even if they are self-sufficient. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'You will never attain righteousness until you spend out of what you love.'" (Surah AAl-E-Imran 3:92) Then Imam (as) said: "If one or both of them reach old age in your care, do not say to them 'uff' (a word of annoyance) if they irritate you, and do not repel them if they strike you, but speak to them noble words." The noble words mean that you say to them, 'May Allah (swt) forgive you both.' That is noble speech from you. "And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy." This means that you should not fix your eyes on them with sharpness but look at them with mercy and compassion. Do not raise your voice above theirs, nor your hand above theirs, and do not walk ahead of them."

Indeed, the greatest among you in reward with Allah (swt) is the one with the greatest desire for what is with Allah (swt). The safest of people from Allah's (swt) punishment is the one who fears Allah (swt) the most. The closest of you to Allah (swt) is the one with the most expansive and noble character. The most pleasing to Allah (swt) among you is the one who is most generous toward his family. Indeed, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah (swt) is the most God-conscious among you."

Hadith.5885 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Khalaf, from Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) that Imam (as) said to one of his sons: "My son, beware that Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, sees you committing a sin He (swt) has forbidden you from. And beware that Allah (swt), the Exalted, does not find you present in an act of obedience that He (swt) has commanded you to perform. Be diligent and do not excuse yourself from shortcomings in worship of Allah (swt), for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is never worshipped as He (swt) truly deserves. Avoid excessive joking, for it extinguishes the light of your faith and diminishes your dignity. Also, beware of laziness and boredom, for they will deprive you of your share in this world and the Hereafter."

Whoever fears Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will make everything fear him, and whoever does not fear Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will make him fear everything. Whoever is content with the little provision Allah (swt) gives him, Allah (swt) will be pleased with his little deeds. Whoever is not ashamed to seek his livelihood, his burdens will be lightened, and his family will be blessed. And whoever renounces the world, Allah (swt) will instill wisdom in his heart, make it flow from his tongue, show him the flaws of the world - its sickness and its cure - and will take him safely from this world to the abode of peace."

Hadith.5892 - Ibn Muskan narrated from Abdullah ibn Abi Ya'fur that Ja'far ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said to a man: "Make your heart a companion you engage with, make your knowledge a guide you follow, make your soul an enemy you struggle against, and consider your wealth as a loan that you will return."

Hadith.5894 - Al-Hasan ibn Rashid narrated from Abu Hamza Al-Thumali, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: 'A man came to the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and said: "Teach me something, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "You must renounce what is in the hands of people, for it is immediate wealth." The man said: "Increase me (in knowledge), O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "Beware of greed, for it is present poverty." The man said: "Increase me (in knowledge), O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "When you intend to undertake something, consider its consequences. If it is good or leads to guidance, follow it; and if it is evil or leads to misguidance, abandon it."

Hadith.5896 - Al-Abbas ibn Bakkar Al-Dabbi narrated, saying: Muhammad ibn Sulayman Al-Kufi Al-Bazzaz narrated to us, saying: Amr ibn Khalid narrated from Zayd ibn Ali, from his father Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as), from his father Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as), from his father Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), peace be upon him, who said: "Whoever dies on Thursday after the sun has passed its zenith until the time of the sun's zenith on Friday, and was a believer, Allah (swt), the Majestic, will protect him from the squeezing of the grave and accept his intercession for people as numerous as the tribes of Rabiah and Mudar. Whoever dies on Saturday from among the believers, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, will never gather him with the Jews in the Fire. Whoever dies on Sunday from among the believers, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, will never gather him with the Christians in the Fire. Whoever dies on Monday from among the believers, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, will never gather him with our enemies from Banu Umayyah in the Fire. Whoever dies on Tuesday from among the believers, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, will gather him with us in the highest companionship. Whoever dies on Wednesday from among the believers, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, will protect him from the misfortune of the Day of Judgment, bless him with His (swt) nearness, and place him in the abode of permanence by His (swt) grace, where no fatigue shall touch him, nor shall any exhaustion afflict him." Then Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "The believer, in whatever state he dies and at whatever day or hour he passes away, is a truthful martyr. And indeed, I heard my beloved, the Messenger of Allah (swt), say: 'If a believer were to leave this world carrying sins equal to those of the people of the earth, death would be an expiation for those sins.'" Then Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Whoever says 'There is no God but Allah (swt)' with sincerity is free from polytheism, and whoever leaves this world without associating anything with Allah (swt) shall enter Paradise." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) recited this verse: 'Indeed, Allah (swt) does not forgive associating partners with Him (swt), but He (swt) forgives anything less than that for whom He (swt) wills - from among your followers and those who love you, O' Ali (as)." (Surah An-Nisa 4:48) and (Surah An-Nisa 4:116) Then Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "I asked: 'O' Messenger of Allah (swt), is this for my followers?' Prophet (sw) said: "Yes, by my Lord (azj), it is for your followers (O' Ali (as)). And indeed, they shall rise on the Day of Judgment from their graves saying: 'There is no God but Allah (swt), Muhammad (sw) is the Messenger of Allah (swt), Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) is the proof of Allah (swt)'. They will be given green garments from Paradise, crowns from Paradise, and tiaras from Paradise. Each one of them will wear a green garment, and the crown of sovereignty and the wreath of honor will be placed on his head. Then they will mount noble steeds from Paradise, and these will take them flying to Paradise.' They will not be grieved by the greatest terrors, and the angels will receive them, saying: 'This is your Day which you were promised.'"

Know that whoever does not spend in obedience to Allah (swt) will be tested by spending in disobedience to Allah (swt), the Almighty.

Hadith.5900 - Ahmad ibn Ishaq ibn Saʿd narrated from Abdullah ibn Maymun, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: Al-Fadl ibn Al-Abbas said: A mule was gifted to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) by Kisra (the Persian emperor) or Qayṣar (the Roman emperor). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) rode it with a saddle made of hair and had me ride behind him. Then, the Prophet (sw) said to me: "O' boy, safeguard Allah (swt), and He (swt) will safeguard you. Safeguard Allah (swt), and you will find Him (swt) before you. Recognize Allah (swt) in times of ease, and He (swt) will recognize you in times of hardship. When you ask, ask Allah (swt), and when you seek help, seek help from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. Indeed, the pen has already written what is to occur. So, if all people strive to benefit you with something that Allah (swt) has not decreed for you, they will never be able to do so. And if they strive to harm you with something that Allah (swt) has not decreed against you, they will never be able to harm you. If you are able to act with patience along with certainty, then do so. If you are unable, then be patient, for in patience over what you dislike is much good. Know that victory comes with patience, relief comes with distress, and with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease."

Hadith.5901 - Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Kufi narrated from Isma'il ibn Mihran, from Murazim, from Jabir ibn Yazid, from Jabir ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari, who said that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "When the child is in the womb of his mother, if it is a male, his face is turned towards the back of his mother, and if it is a female, her face is turned towards the belly of her mother. His hands are placed on his cheeks, and his chin is on his knees, in the position of one who is sorrowful and worried. He is like a tightly bound entity, connected by an umbilical cord from his navel to the navel of his mother. Through this umbilical cord, he receives nourishment from his mother's food and drink until the appointed time of his birth. Then Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, sends an angel who writes on his forehead whether he will be wretched or happy (person), a believer or a disbeliever, rich or poor. The angel also writes his lifespan, his sustenance, his illnesses, and his health. When the sustenance decreed for his through its mother's umbilical cord is cut off, the angel gives his a nudge, and he turns, startled by the nudge, causing his head to face the exit. When he is born onto the earth, he is met with great fear and intense torment. If he is struck by a breeze or touched by a hand, he feels pain similar to that of someone whose skin has been peeled off. He experiences hunger but cannot seek food, and he feels thirst but cannot request water, and he suffers pain but cannot cry out for help. So Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, entrusts his mother with mercy, compassion, and love for him, such that she shields him from heat and cold with her own self, and she is almost willing to sacrifice her life for him. She becomes so affectionate towards him that she does not mind going hungry if he is full, or being thirsty if he is quenched, or being unclothed if he is clothed. Allah (swt), Exalted is His remembrance, has placed his sustenance in his mother's breasts - one providing his drink and the other his food. When he nurses, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, grants him daily the sustenance that has been decreed for him. When he grows up, Allah (swt) grants him understanding of family, wealth, desire, and greed. Despite all this, he is exposed to afflictions, ailments, and tribulations from all directions. The angels guide him and direct him, while the devils mislead him and lead him astray. He is doomed unless Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, saves him. And Allah (swt), Exalted is His (swt) remembrance, has mentioned the reality of mankind in His clear Book, saying: "And indeed, We (swt) created man from an extract of clay. Then We (swt) placed him as a drop of fluid in a firm lodging. Then We (swt) created the drop into a clinging clot, and We (swt) created the clot into a lump, and We (swt) created the lump into bones, and We (swt) clothed the bones with flesh; then We (swt) developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah (swt), the best of creators. Then indeed, after that, you will surely die. Then indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected." (Surah Al-Mu'minun 23:12-16) Jabir ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari said: I asked: "O' Messenger of Allah (swt), this is our condition, but how is your condition and the condition of the successors after you in birth?" The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, remained silent for a long while. Then the prophet (sw) said: "O' Jabir, you have asked about a great matter which none can bear except one who has been granted great wisdom. Indeed, the prophets and the successors are created from the light of the greatness of Allah (swt), Glorified be His (swt) praise. Allah (swt) places their lights in pure loins and immaculate wombs, protecting them with His (swt) angels, nurturing them with His (swt) wisdom, and sustaining them with His (swt) knowledge. Their matter is too great to be described, and their conditions are too subtle to be comprehended, for they are the stars of Allah (swt) on His (swt) earth, His (swt) signs among His (swt) creation, His (swt) successors over His (swt) servants (people), His (swt) lights in His (swt) lands, and His (swt) proofs over His (swt) creation. O' Jabir, this is part of the concealed and stored knowledge, so conceal it except from those who are worthy of it."

So whoever is from our Shia should follow our example and adhere to our Sunnah.'"

Hadith.5904 - Safwan ibn Yahya and Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Musa ibn Bakr, from Zurara, who reported from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said: "A favor is only truly a favor when it is done for someone with noble lineage or faith. Prayer is the means of closeness for every pious person. Hajj is the jihad for every weak individual. Everything has a form of charity, and the charity of the body is fasting. A woman's jihad is being a good wife. Seek sustenance through charity. Whoever is certain of divine compensation will be generous in giving. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, sends down assistance according to the burden. Safeguard your wealth through zakat. Moderation is half of livelihood. No person who is moderate will face poverty. Having fewer dependents is one of the two forms of ease. One who prays without action is like an archer without a bowstring. Affection is half of intelligence. Anxiety is half of aging. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, sends down patience in proportion to the calamity. Whoever strikes his hand on his thigh during a calamity, his reward is nullified. Whoever grieves his parents has been disobedient to them."

So Jibril (as) said to modesty and religion: 'Depart from him.' They both replied: 'O' Jibril, we have been commanded to remain with intellect wherever it is.' Jibril (as) said: 'Then it is your affair,' and he ascended."

O' son of Adam! Your stomach is but an ocean among oceans and a valley among valleys; nothing will fill it except dust."

He, (The Imam (as)) will be born circumcised and purified, and he will see from behind him as he sees from in front of him. He, (The Imam (as)) will have no shadow, and when he falls to the ground from his mother's womb, he will land on his palms, raising his voice with the two testimonies. He, (The Imam (as)) will not experience nocturnal emissions (during sleep), his eyes will sleep, but his heart will not sleep. He, (The Imam (as)) will be divinely inspired, and the armor of the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, will fit him perfectly. He, (The Imam (as)) will not be seen urinating or defecating, because Allah (swt), the Almighty, has commanded the earth to absorb whatever comes out of him (regarding defecation). His, (The Imam (as)) fragrance will be sweeter than musk. He, (The Imam (as)) will be more entitled to people than they are to themselves and more compassionate towards them than their own fathers and mothers. He, (The Imam (as)) will be the most humble of people before Allah (swt), the Glorified. He, (The Imam (as)) will adhere most to what he commands and most refrain from what he forbids. His, (The Imam (as)) supplication will be answered, to the extent that if he were to pray against a rock, it would split in two. He, (The Imam (as)) will have the weapon of the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and his sword, Dhul-Fiqar. He, (The Imam (as)) will have a scroll that contains the names of his followers until the Day of Judgment, and a scroll that contains the names of his enemies until the Day of Judgment. He, (The Imam (as)) will possess "Al-Jami'a," a scroll seventy cubits long containing everything that the children of Adam need. He, (The Imam (as)) will also have "Al-Jafr," the greater and the lesser, which are two containers made of the skin of a goat and a ram, containing all knowledge, even the compensation for a scratch, and matters as specific as a complete skin, half a skin, and a third of a skin. He, (The Imam (as)) will have the Mushaf of (Sayyidah) Fatimah {s.a}, peace be upon her.

Hadith.5915 - And it was narrated to us by Abdul-Wahid ibn Muhammad ibn Abdus Al-Naysaburi, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, who said: Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Qutaybah narrated to us from Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, who said: I heard Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), say: "'When the head of Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as), peace be upon him, was taken to Sham, Yazid - may Allah (swt) curse him - ordered that it be placed and a table was set upon it. He (Yazid) and his companions came forward, eating and drinking fermented beverages. When they finished, he ordered the head to be placed in a basin under his couch, and a chessboard was spread over it. Then Yazid - may Allah (swt) curse him - sat playing chess while mentioning Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as) and his father (as) and grandfather (sw), peace be upon them, mocking their remembrance. Whenever he gambled with his companion, he would take the fermented beverage and drink it three times, then pour the remainder onto the ground near the basin.' Imam (as) continued: 'Whoever is from our Shia should abstain from drinking fermented beverages and playing chess. And whoever looks at fermented beverages or at chess should remember Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as), and curse Yazid and the family of Ziyad. By doing so, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, will erase his sins, even if they are as numerous as the stars.

I am the leader of creation, the successor of the best of creatures (Prophet (sw)), the husband of the mistress of the women of this nation (Sayyidah Fatima {s.a}), and the father of the pure progeny (as) and the guiding Imams (as). I am the brother of the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, his successor, his guardian, his minister, his companion, his confidant, his beloved, and his intimate friend. I am Commander of the Faithful (as), the leader of the radiant, the master of the successors (as). My war is the war of Allah (swt), my peace is the peace of Allah (swt), obedience to me is obedience to Allah (swt), and allegiance to me is allegiance to Allah (swt). My followers are the friends of Allah (swt), and my supporters are the supporters of Allah (swt). By the One (swt) who created me when I was nothing, those entrusted with the knowledge among the companions of Muhammad (sw), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, surely know that the oath-breakers, the unjust, and the renegades are cursed on the tongue of the 'untutored' (one who needed no teacher) Prophet (sw), and "indeed, he has failed who invents falsehood."

May Allah (swt) connect with those who connect with them (as), and may Allah (swt) sever ties with those who sever ties with them (as). May Allah (swt) support those who aid them (as), and forsake those who forsake them (as). O' Allah (swt), just as each of Your (swt) prophets and messengers had a trust and a household; (These) Ali (as), Fatimah {s.a}, Hassan (as), and Hussain (as) are my household and my trust.
