The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Ali (as) is my successor and caliph, and his wife (Sayyida) Fatimah (as), my daughter, is the leader of the women of the worlds. Al-Hasan (as) and Al-Hussain (as) are the leaders of the youth of Paradise, and they are my sons. Whoever befriends Them (as) has

Hadith.5405 - It is narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) say to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as): "O' Ali (as), you are my successor. I have entrusted to you by the command of my Lord (azj), and you are my caliph. I have appointed you by the command of my Lord (azj). O

The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "The Imams (as) after me are twelve. The first of them is Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), and the last of them is the Riser (Al-Qaʾim (as)). They are my successors, my trustees, my guardians, and the proofs of Allah (swt) over my nation after me. Whoever ack

"I entered upon Sayyida Fatimah {s.a}, and before her {s.a} was a tablet in which were the names of the successors from her offspring. I counted twelve, and one of them was the Riser (Al-Qaʾim (as)). Three of them were named Muhammad (as), and four of them were named Ali (as)."

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ مَا مِنْ مَيِّتٍ تَحْضُرُهُ الْوَفَاةُ إِلَّا رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سَمْعِهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ عَقْلِهِ لِلْوَصِيَّةِ أَخَذَ الْوَصِيَّةَ أَوْ تَرَكَ وَ هِيَ الرَّاحَةُ الَّتِي يُقَالُ لَهَا رَاحَةُ الْمَوْتِ فَهِيَ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ‌[2].

Hadith.5409 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman who said that Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "There is no dying person approaching death except that Allah (swt) restores to him his hearing, sight, and intellect for the purpose of making a will - whether he chooses to make

"Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, says: 'O' son of Adam, I have favored you with three things: I concealed from others matters about you that, had your family known, they would not have buried you. I expanded your sustenance, yet when I asked you to lend (in charity), you did not offer any good. And I gran

هِيَ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ.

I asked Imam (as) about making a will. Imam (as) said: "It is a duty upon every Muslim."

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‌ الْوَصِيَّةُ حَقٌّ وَ قَدْ أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُوصِيَ‌[5].

Hadith.5412 - Al-Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said that Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "Making a will is a duty, and the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) indeed made a will. Therefore, it is appropriate for a Muslim to make a will."

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع‌ الْوَصِيَّةُ تَمَامُ مَا نَقَصَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ[2].

Hadith.5413 - Masadah ibn Sadaqah Al-Rabii narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Making a will completes what is lacking from the payment of zakat."

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع‌ مَنْ أَوْصَى فَلَمْ يَحِفْ وَ لَمْ يُضَارَّ[3] كَانَ كَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ‌[4].

Hadith.5414 - Al-Sakuni narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Whoever makes a will without being excessive or causing harm, it is as if he gave it in charity during his lifetime."

مَنْ لَمْ يُوصِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لِذَوِي قَرَابَتِهِ[1] فَقَدْ خَتَمَ عَمَلَهُ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ[2].

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع وَ أَوْصَى عَلِيٌّ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ وَ أَوْصَى الْحَسَنُ ع إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ وَ أَوْصَى الْحُسَيْنُ ع إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ أَوْصَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرِ ع.

"Whoever does not make a proper will at the time of death, it is a deficiency in his dignity and intellect." Imam (as) also said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) made a will to Ali (as), and Ali (as) made a will to Al-Hasan (as), and Al-Hasan (as) made a will to Al-Hussain (as),

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ مَنْ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَنْ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمٍ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَنْ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ يُرِيدُ بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.

Hadith.5417 - Ahmad ibn Al-Nadr Al-Khazzaz narrated from Amr ibn Shimr from Jabir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Whoever's final words are 'La ilaha illa Allah (swt)' (There is no God but Allah (swt)) will enter Pa
