The Imam (asws) having said: ‘Among the Advice which Allah (azwj) Gave to Isa (as) was: “O Isa (as)! I (azwj) am your (as) Lord (azwj), and the Lord (azwj) of your (as) forefathers.

Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws) replied, when I said to him (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), (its about) a man from our brethren, a matter has reached me about him which I dislike, so I ask about that but he denies that, and it has been informed to me from reliable people’. He (asws) said to me: ‘O Muhammad,

Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘The one born in Al-Islam as a free person, so he is an Arab, and the one who had a treaty for him and he kept to it, so he is a slave of the Rasool Allah (saww), and the one who entered in Al-Islam willingly, so he is an emigrant’.

I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying to his (asws) companions one day: ‘Do not find faults with the one who comes to you with his cordiality, and do not let him remain upon the sins which he is indulging in, for it is not from the morals of the Rasool Allah (saww), nor is it from the morals of his (asws) friends.

‘O Ibn Muslim, the people are show-offs apart from you, and that is what you have concealed what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Loves, and have displayed what the people love, whilst the people have displayed what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic is Angered by, and concealed what Allah (azwj) Loves.

The Rasool Allah (saww) had stayed at one man’s house in Al-Taef before the Islamic era. He had honoured him (saww). So when Allah (azwj) Sent Muhammad (saww) to the people, it was said to the man, ‘Do you know the one whom Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Sent to the people?’ He said, ‘No’. They said, ‘He (saww) i

‘Ali (asws) was the most similar to the Rasool Allah (saww) in the partaking of food and manners. And he (asws) used to eat the bread and the oil whilst (he (asws) would feed) the people with the bread and the meat’.
