Chapter 1 Preface

This age is the space & electronic age, & man is leaping towards stars & into the depth of this vast universe. But did one ever think who are those personalities arround whom this universe spins & by one small finger gesture they split the moon apart. Who are those who commanded the stars, rocks, mountains, air, water & all the natural & supernatural ingredients of universe & over & above that the heavens & the entire metaphysical world. 

Those who truely claimed to be the city of knowledge & learning & whose chest were brimful with wisdom. But then they would not find anyone capable anough to imbibe & digest it. 

Alas, there were only a very few who could take in just a bit of what they had. And so that bit taken was just a tiny fraction of what they possessed has today developed into this huge & gigantic show of knowledge industry & technology by man. 

Of course, it took man centuries to develop the little amount of knowledge he had recieved. 

It was only possible through some highly callibred & genious persons like Jabbir bi Hayyan the father of todays sciences, Alberuni, Ibne sina the father of medicine, Abul Haisam & some others who were all the pupils of the household of Prophet MohammadfP.8.fI.HJ. 

So briefly speaking they as the torch bearer & flag holders of knowledge & learning picked up a drop from the mighty & gigantic ocean of knowledge, (the city of knowledge & his descendents) & passed it on to the coming generations for further consideration, contemplation, research, investigation & ellaboration, 

Now, that man has entered the space age he looks back to the real source of his modern develpments & progresses, 

And only then the honest researcher humanists, philoshpers & thinder like ZHOL Laboom, DENOURT, LORA WAKSIA WAGLARI came to admit the bare & plain facts, French thinker ZHOL LABOOM says in the book "the detail of verses" ",knowledge & learning came to our hand from the Muslims" Renouned orientalist Denort said "It is obligatory for us to admitt that Physical sciences, astronmy, Philosphy & mathematics which reached their zenith in Europe are mostly from the beneficiencc of Quranic learning," 

Thus it becomes inevietable to recognise those upon whome this sarcred book of knowledge & wisdom was revelated, & those are its heir up to this day. 

And can not find a single soul in the universe except Mohammad(P.B.U.H.) & his rousehold her daughter, the gracious & magnanimous Fatima(A.S), his cousin Ali(A.S) the grand, splendid & sublime personality known as the gate of the city of Prophet's knowledge & the eleven Imams who are his descendents & progeny. 

These fourteen channels of knowledge & wisdom are linked up with Allah(S.w.T) so their knowledge is devine knowledge. 

Even today their effects, such as Nehjul balaghah, speach of Fatima(s.w.A) SAHEEFA E SAJJADIA, SAHEEFA E ALVIA & frame work of social, moral, etheticul, logical educational, economical norms & standards for humanity with which it can put a curb & restraint upon the various evils, vices & misfortunate catastrophes like war, famine, destruction, illitracy, disease & annihilation. Humanity by curbing the ever growing lawlessness, & oppression can turn this. world full of misery into a glorious heaven with all the thinkable & possible comforts, joys, fraternity & felicitations. To sum up, the need of introducing & materialising the aspirations of the holy Prophet of Islam & his progeny, has grown multiply in this age. The need to translate, propagate & spread their mission of peace & tranquillity. 

So this book is an effort towards this end. Although with its small volume & limited boundaries it can just be called a symbol & indicator for the reseachers & a guidline for them to proceed ahead & discover the genuine & natural phenomenon of the metaphysics & the highway to the devine light leading to eternal prosperity. 

It contains 560 Hadieths which covers many dimensions of the human life &' for those seeking solution to the today's, world problem, it is a guide. Yet there is need to probe into the rest of the Hadieths through strenous efforts. As already mentioned this knowledge is 'a beneficience, & benevolence equally for those in the East or west whether they are white, or black, yellow or red. 

I earnestly pray to Almighty Allah to give us the courage, strength & sincerity to gather up the I gems from the heritage of MohammadfP.B.tI.lf) &' his I house hold. And to put that into practice. 

I have put in sincere effort to do the job of translating these Hadieths. But it was not an easy thing to do. 

Since, :کلام الامام امام الکلام 

The speach of the leader (Imam) is the Imam (leader) of all speaches. 

But only with their help, &' affection could this job be completed. Any helping suggestions in improving the short commings of translation including Islamic terminologe will be appreciated.

Chapter 2 Foreword

Please pay attention to the following few points which are briefly described for the sake of studying this book with a greater &' broader vision. 1. Essentiality of heeedfuiness to the rich culture of Islam. 

We are aware that the base &' foundation of the completion, maturity &' progress of human beings is a school &' culture which must be constructive, rich &' affluent &' may be capable to guide man in varient dimensions towards the total &' multi diretional completion &' prosperity. 

Such a school of thought &' culture must definately come from the Almighty Allah of humanity who is All Knowing. On this account, the only school &' culture having grown &' produced from the origin of revelation can be advantagcous, &' conductive particularly the school &' culture which has reached us from the arena &' sphere of the last &' final ambassador of Allah' the Prophet of Islam(J".v..4.) & the last guardians from God & their successors, the in fallible Imams & Hazrat zahra(£v..4.J& this must certainly be possessing all the excellencies of gnosis, cognition & completion & will be the eminent of all the other cultutures & schools. 

On this basis it is essential & definately necessary for us to pay deep & multi dimensional attention & concentrate upon this rich & man constructing culture & school while proceeding on the way of guidance, progress & elevation. 

And we considering it the practical programme of our life'must embrace the prosperity of world & Here after in it's light, since we will definately not find such a rich, plentiful, exhoberent' & movement creating school of thought & culture any where in the World. And one can never at all reach the peak of real completion & attain the open & obvious prosperity through other cultueres. On this basis the Prophet of Islam(P.B.IIII.) said: 

تذاکرو وتلاقوا وتحدثوا فان الحديث جلاءُ القلوب، ان القلوب لترين کما يرين السيف وجلاؤها الحديث.

Confer., & meet & talk to each other because Hadieth polishes the hearts. No doubt hearts get rusted like the swords & Hadieth is their polish[1]. Essa (removal of that rust).' Essa (chirst)(s.w.A) at the height & sumit of his speach told the Bani Israel (sons of Israel): 

لا تحدثوا لجهال بالحکمة فتظلموها ولا تمنعوها اهلها فتظلموهم

Do not inform ignorants about the word of wisdom so that you may have commited excess (injustice) to those subjects &: do not refuse &: conceal them from the sage &: wise ones so that you may have commited injustice &: excess upon them[2]. Imam Ali(A.S) as per his wel known saying said.

ان هذه القلوب اوعية فخيرها اوعاها فاحفظ عن? ما اقول لک

These hearts are just like utencils so that the best utencil is the one which secures &: retains more (than others). There fore do secure &: memo rise what I tell you.

الناس ثلاثه فعالم ربان?، ومتعلم عل? سبيل النجاة وهمج رعاعٌ

People are three groups I.the Godly scholars 2. the knowledge seekers (students) who move. on the way towards salvation. 3. silly rabble, mob. It is understood from these intresting &: attractive traditions that the culture of Islam should not be confined &: bonded rather it should be propagated, &: the people of the world be given to learn it's facts by divulging it through meditation, consideration &: conference., to polish the hearts out of their rusty condition. Thus if we do not carry it to those capable we would have done injustice to them', since we will have deprived.them of the most supreme &: sublime gifts &: presents of the life completion[3]. 

This also becomes clear that best of the men are those who welcome & greet the rich & exhoberant Islamic culture, which is mixed up with deep & profound wisdoms, with an open & absorbent mind, & make it a pattern for themselves. 

As a whole mankind can be divided into three catagories 1. Godly scholar 2. student 3. silly rabble[4] & mob. 

The devine scholar is like an upstanding tree which has raised & upheld his head towards the sky of completion. The student is like the plant of lilly lotus which shows its face leaning along that firmly up standing tree & moves upwards. But the third form of man is like the weeds growing mear the root & base of that tree having no course to move on. And it stays along with the dirt of earth some times under that stinking dirt & gets drowned into the black mud of the pond. 

2. The Emphasis of the leaders of Islam about broad casting traditions. 

The proagation & broad casting of Islamic learning & culture has an elevated & lofty place from the Islamic veiw. Imam Mohammad Baqir(A.S) said. "The alms giving of knowledge is this that you teach it to the servants of God." Moawiyyah Bin Ammar says I submitted to Imam Jaffer sadiq(A.s.) ",one of your states great number of traditions & propagates them among the people & makes them firm & steady into the hearts of people & your shias. 

And on the other hand, there is a worshiper among your followers (shias) who is not active in propagating your traditions amid the people like that (other) man, so which one of them is better?" Imam sadiq(A.S) said. 

الرواية لحديثنا يشدد به قلوب شيعتنا، افضل من الف عابدٍ.[5]

"That person who propagates our sayings (traditions) & makes the hearts of our shias steady & firm (with our culture) is better than a thousand adorers." 

Imam Ali ReZa(A.S) said ",Allah may have mercy upon the person who revives & establshes our affair." A man asked him ",How must one revive it? He replied.

يتعلم علومنا ويعلمها الناس.[6]

"He may learn our knowledges & teach others" 3. A brief consideration of learning forty Hadieths. The Prophet of Allah said "

من حفظ امت? … اربعين حديثاً تحتاجون اليه من امر دينهم بعثه الله يوم القيامة فقيهاً عالماً[7]

" the one from among my ummah who learns by heart forty Haieths, which they need for their relegion, Allah will resurge & ressurect him (as) a wise jurispudent on the dooms day". 

Four points must be taken into veiw a about this Hadieth. 1. This tradition has been much narrated with a little amount of difference & variation both by the shia & sunni traditionalists. And even some say this is a "Mutawatir" widely transmitted tradition. That is to say it has been so very much narrated that the sure knowledge of it's being soundly narrated from the infallible Imam(,f.!J is achieved[8]. 

2. Allama Majlisi (may God have mercy on him) says about the word "memorising of tradition", mentioned in the above stated Haieth, ",As a matter of right, memorising (learning hadieth by heart has many grades. the rewards of them granted are according to the same grades. One of it's grades & tages is securing & learning the text of the hadieth, whether thst securing comes about in the memory securing it from getting perished like preserving it on papers & correction of its words & reproducing it. 

The second grade is learning the text & meanings of forty Hadieths & contemplation of their minute points & deduction of religious injunctions & Islamic learnings from them. The third stage is that the text of those forty Hadieths may be implemented, practiced upon & secured. It is quite clear that each of these carry a reward but if all the three of them are owned by a person' then it will result in getting the complete reward. There by he says "Getting resurrected as a wise jurispudent on the resurrection day takes place when all the three grades or at least two of the later ones are observed[9]. 

3. In many cases, the title of .forty. is the final limit &: border of completion of those matters. Allama Haj Mirza Hussain Norri reflects', .By benefitting from correct &: true traditions it becomes evident that in the process of preserving practice for progress from a stage to a higher one, forty days or years have an effective &: total effect. There by, he pointed out forty cases of the completed affairs &: matters within the border of forty[10]. 

4. Supplementarily, it may not remain unsaid that .forty Hadieths. means the Hadieths which are a requirement &: need on the course of guidance. such as the problems of beliefs, jurispudence, politics, &: ethics. As already mentioned a wise &: complete jurispudent is the one who gets benefitted &: saturated in varient dimensions of religion from the knowledge &: practice.

The Present Book 

The text of this book has been compiled under the title of .FortylHaieths from each of the fourteen infallibles., by the of Islamic Propagation organisation, the International relations, Turkish Deeptt. And published &: circulated in 320 pages' of the Rukkai size, in the year 1360. (.fA.). The compilation of this book by the said organisation has taken place, with the co-operation & co-working of two dear excellent brothers Aqai Fakharuddin ALTAN & Aqai Mujahidi who are respectable students of the Qum's seminary, as under: 

Following the preface, firstly the particulars of each of the fourteen infallibles are described & then comes the arabic text of the forty traditions from each infallible with thier references. There after, those have been translated into Turkish language in the latin scripture. And this mat hod is quite interesting, attractive & initiative in it form, that forty sayings of each infallible concerning various affairs & dispositions, be narrated. 

And since it's translation into persian was quite benefitial in making us aware & acqainted with the rich, wealth & vast moral, ethical, political, credence, bilief social & economical culture of the family & house hold of the Prophethood (S.A. W). was a guide to the healthy & sound way of Islamic life, so steps were taken to get it done. It has been endevoured that the translation be in the form of sentence to sentence although on a few occasions it became inevitable for us to translate fyeely. 

This book cosists of 560 Hadieths, arranged in a manner that their Arabic text & then persian translation has been put forward. We hope that all of us shallleam constructive, Jsitive & benefitial lessons from these 'ofound, deep, lofty & dignified words, & take m, useful, & positive steps in life to bring about Ie purity & betterment of our souls & the .ciety, by putting them into practice.

2- مَن اَصبَحَ لا يَهتَمُ بِاُمُورِ المُسلِمِينَ فَلَيسَ مِنهُم وَمَن يَسمَع رَجُلاً يُنادِي يا لَلمُسلِمِينَ فَلَم يُجِبهُ فَلَيسَ بِمُسلِمٍ .(بحارالانوار ج 74 ص 339) 

3- إِن النَّبِيَّ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً،فَلَمّا رَجَعُوا قالَ: مَرحَباً بِقُومِ قَضَوَُا الجِهادَ الأَصغَرَ وَ بَقِيَ عَلَيهِمُ الجِهادُ الأَکبَرُ . فقيلَ: يا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الجِهادُ الأَکبَرُ؟ قالَ:جِهادُ النَّفسِ.(وسائل الشيعة ج 11 ص 122)

1. Oh servants of Allah! you are like patients &. the lord of mortals is like a physician. So the rectitude &. wel being of the ailment of patients lies in the rule (formula) which the physician knows &. administers with that rule, not in that one which the patient desires.

3. The Prophet of IslamfP.8.tI./fJ sent a group of muslims to the battle front against the enemies.

5- أَلفُقَهاءُ أُمَناءُ الرُّسُلِ ما لَم يَدخُلوا في الدُّنيا، قيلَ يا رَسُولَ اللهِ : وَما دُخُولُهُم فِي الدُّنيا؟ قالَ: اتّباعُ السُّلطانِ فَإذا فَعَلُوا ذلِکَ فَاحذَرُوهُم عَل? دينِکُم. کنز العمال،الحديث 28952 (اصول الکاف? ج1 ص46) 

6- اِنّي لا اَتَخَوَّفُ عَل? اُمَّت? مؤمِناً وَلا مشرِکاً، فَامَّا المُؤمِنُ فَيَحجُزُهُ اِيمانُهُ واَمّا المُشرِکُ فَيَقمَعُهُ کُفرُهُ، وَلکِن اَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيکُم مُنافِقاً عَليمَ للّسانِ يَقُولُ مَا تَعرِفُونَ وَيَعمَلُ مَا تُنکرُونَ. ( بحارالانوار ج2 ص110)

9ـ شَرُّ النّاسِ مَن باعَ آخِرَتَهُ بِدُنياهُ، وَ شَّرٌّمِن ذلِکَ مَن باعَ آخِرَتَهُ بِدُنيا غَيرِهِ. ( بحارالانوار ج77 ص46)

(KANZAL AMAL AI Hadieth 28952, USULE KAFI, VOL, P 46) 

6. I do not have the fear of neither the faithfull nor polytheist about my ummah. However, the faith of the faithfull refrains him from harming the ummah, more over the infidility of the polytheist will become the cause of his abjectness & repression. But I am afraid about you (being harmed) from the glib tongued hypocrite. He utters by his tongue what you believe is good & practically he does what you consider bad (vices). (BIHARUL ANWAR. VOL 2, P 110) ,

(تحف العقول ص21)

13- سَيَأتي زَمانٌ عَل? أُمَّتي لا يَعرِفُونَ العُلَماءَ إلاّ بِثَوٍب حَسَنٍ، وَلا يَعرِفُونَ القُرآنَ إلاّ بِصَوٍت حَسَنٍ، وَلا يَعبُدُونَ اللهَ إلاّ في شَهرِ رَمَضانَ.فَإذا کانَ کَذالِکَ سَلَّطَ اللهُ سُلطاناً لا عِلمَ لَهُ وَلَا حِلمَ لَهُ وَلا رَحمَ لَهُ. ( بحارالانوار ج22 ص454)

اربعون حديثاً عن فاطمة الزهراء عليها السلام

1- اَلحَمدُ لِلّهِ عَل? ما أَنعَمَ، وَلَهُ الشُّکرُ عَلَ? مَا أَلهَمَ، وَالثنآءُ بِما قَدَّمَ،مِن عُمُومِ نِعَم اِبتَدَأها وَسُبُوغِ آلاءٍ أَسداها، وَ تَمامِ نِعَم وَالاها،جَمَّ عَنِ الإِحصاءِ عَدَدُها،وَنَأ? عَنِ الجَزاءِ أَمَدُها،وَتَفاوَتَ عَنِ الدراکِ أَبدُها،وَنَدَبَهُم لاستِزَادَتِها بِاشُّکرِ لا تَّصالِها،وَاستَحمَدَ إلَ? الخَلائِقِ بِإجزالِها وَثَنّ? بِالنَّدبِ اِل? أَمثالِها. (أعيان الشيعه -الطبع الجديد-ج1 ص315)

FORlTY DISCOURSES FROM FATIMA ZAHRA(S.W.A)

1. Praise & Eulogy Is for Allah for the blessing & bounties which He has bestowed. And thanks to HIM upon what He revelated (to His servants) And Praise Is for HIM upon the common boons & blessings which He bestowed upon His servants without their request And upon the comprehensive & complete blessings which He granted to all & sundry & gave It to us, consequetively. Those graces & favours which are uncountable. 

And are Irredeemable & uncompensatable due to their plentifulness of number. And the Imagination of their end Is out of the reach of human mind. He invited the servant to thankfuness for the sake of the cousequetive & continous enhanecment of blessings. And opened the door of euloqy & Praise (of Allah) upon them so that He may make his favours & beneflclences great & plentiful for them.' (AYAN U SHIA ATABA AL JADEED VOL I, P 315) 

2. I testify that there Is no Diety (Lord) except the sole & matchless Allah. And the testification of the singleness of Allah is a word that Allah has declared sincerity (as) It's reality,& made the hearts the centre of It's contact & union. And has made the specifications & research of the oneness of Allah's station obvious & evident In the light of meditation. The Allah Who can not be seen by the eyes & tongues are unable & baffled to describe His virtues & attributes. And the intelligence & apprehension of man is helpless & destitude from the imagination of his howness.(AYAN USHIAATABAALJADEEDVOL I, P315) 

3- اِبتَدَعَ (الله) الأَشياءَ لا مِن شَيءٍ کانَ قَبلَها، وَأَنشَأَها بلا احتِذاءِ أَمثِلَةٍ امتَثَلَها،وَکَوَّنَها بِقُدرَتِهِ، وَذَرَأَها بِمَشِيئَتِهِ، مِن غَيرِ حاجَةٍ مِنهُ إِل? تَکويِنها وَلا فَائِدَةٍ لَهُ في تَصويرِهَا،إِلا تَثبِيتاً لِحِکمَتِهِ وَتَنبيهاً عَل? طَاعَتِهِ وَإِظهاراً لِقُدرَتِهِ وَتَعَبُّداً لِبَرِيَّتِهِ، وَإِعز ازاً لِدَعوَتِهِ.

39- ايضاً: أغبِرَ افاقُ السَّماءِ وَکُوَّرَت شَمسُ النَّهارِوَأُظلِمَ العَصرانِ فَالأَرضُ مِن بَعدِ النَّبِ?ّ کَئيبَةٌ أَسفاً عَلَيهِ کَثيرَة الرَجفانِ فَليَبکِهِ شَرقُ البِلادِ وَغَربُها وَلتَبکِهِ مضروَکل يمانِ وَليَبکِهِ الطودُ العَظيمُ جودَه وَالبَيتُ ذُوالأَستارِ وَالأَرکانِ يَا خاتم الرُّسلِ المُبارَکَ ضوؤُهُ صَلَّ? عَلَيکَ مُنزِلُ القُرآنِ (اعلام النساء- ج4 ص113)

40- وايضاً: قَد کانَ بَعدَکَ اَنباءٌ وَهَنبَثَةٌ لَوکُنتَ شاهِدَها لَم تَکثُرِالخَطبُ إنّا فَقَدناکَ فَقدَ الأَرضِ وَابِلَها وَاختَلَّ قَومُکَ فَأشهَد هُم وَلا تَغِب (اعلام النساء- ج4 ص113)

39. the dust of soroow coverder the space of ske & the sun has faded &: the bright day turned bleak. The earth has become dark &: gooomy after the death of the Prophet(P.B.U.H) woe! Alas! what the earth will have much of Jolting upon being seperated &: parted from him(P.B.U.H)? It is meritorious &: befitting that the east &: west of the' world may weep upon the parting of Prophet(S.W.A) &: the persons of Muzzir tribe &: all of they rest of the emen tribes shed tears; 

And the great magnificient mountain of the existence &: the hidden &: covered Kabaah (House of ALLAH) &: it's pillars should shed tears. Oh the terminator &: finaliser of the (series of) prophets! the light of whome is the source of blessing for the world's inhabitants, Be the salutation &: blessings of Allah the. desender of Holy Quran upon you. (MLAMUN NJ5A. VOL 4. r 113) 

40. Following you (Prophet P.B.U.H) inequities (intrigues &: revolts) took shape &: varient voices were raised so that if you were present &: supervising (things) all these differences &: deviations would not have taken place. 

You setoff (on the journey of eternity) from among us &: now our condition is like the earth which becomes devoid of the beneficial rains. And your nation upset the order &: discipline of matters. So be a witness &: do not let their matter get out of your sight. (MLAM UN NJ5A. VOL 4. P 122)

FORlY DISCOURSES OF AMEER AL MOMINEEN(A.S)

1. The one who recognised himself (self cognition) has recognised his Allah. (GHARAR AL HIKAM. CHALTER 77, HADIETH 301) 

2. Indeed, Allah raised MOHAMMADfP.B.II.II.J upon the righteousness so that he may move His servants out of the (state of) adoration of servants towards His own adoration, &. from the commitment of His slaves towards His own commitment &. from the obedience of His slaves towards His own obedience &. from the guardian ship of his servants to His own guardian ship. (FARROO AL KAFI, VOL 8, P 386) 

3. There is nobody who sits with (acquires the company) of Quran except that when he stands up from it (move away) with addition or loss. Addition to his guidance &. loss of his blindness. (abberation) 

And know it there is no Poverty &. adversity for anyone after having' Quran (with him) &. nobody has any wealth &. needlessness before having the Holy Quran (with him). (ALHAYATVOL2, P 101) 

4- اَلرّاض? بِفِعلِ قَومٍ کَالدّاخِلِ فِيهِ مَعَهُم ،وَعَل? کُلّ داخل فِي باطِلٍ اِثمانِ اثمُ العَمَلِ بِهِ وَاِثمُ الرَّضا بِهِ. (نهج البلاغه لصبح? الصالح،قصارالحکم154، ص499) 

5- سُئِلَ عَلَيهِ السَّلامُ عَنِ الايمانِ، فَقالَ:الإيمانُ عَل? أَربَعِ دَعائِمَ:عَلَ? الصَّبرِ وَاليَقِينِ وَالعَدلِ الجِهادَ. وَالصَّبرُ مِنها عَل? أَربَعِ شُعَبٍ عَل? الشَّوقِ وَالشَّفَقِ وَالزُّهدِ وَالتَّرَقُّبِ:فَمَنِ اشتاقَ إِلَ? الجَنَّةِ سَلا عَنِ الشَّهَواتِ وَ مَن أَشفَقَ مِنَ النّارِ اجتَنَبَ المُحَرَّماتِ، وَمَن زَهِدَ فِي الدُّنيا استَهانَ بِالمُصِيباتِ، وَمَنِ ارتَقَبَ المَوتَ سارَعَ اِل? الخَيراتِ… وَالجِهادُ مِنها عَل? َأَربَعِ شُعَبٍ: عَلَ? الأَمرِ بِالمَعرُوفِ، وَالنَّه?ِ عَنِ المُنکَرِ، وَالصِّدقِ فِي المَواطِنِ وَشَنآنِ الفاسِقينَ، فَمَن أَمَرَ بِالمَعرُوفِ شَدَّ ظُهُورَ المُؤمِنينَ، وَمَن نَه? عَنِ المُنکَرِأَرغَمَ أُتُوفَ الکافِرينَ،وَمَن صَدَقَ فِي المَواطِنِ قَض? ما عَليهِ،وَمَن شَنِ? الفاسِقينَ وَغَضِبَ لِلّهِ غَضِبَ اللهُ لَهُ وَأَرضاهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ. (نهج البلاغه لصبحيالصالح،قصار الحکم31 ،ص473)

6- فانَّ الجِهادَ بابٌ مِن اَبوابِ الجَنَّةِ فَتحَهُ اللهُ لِخاصَّةِ اَولِيائِهِ وَهُوَ لِبَاسُ التَّقو? وَدرعُ اللهِ الحَصينَةُ وجُنَّتُهُ الوَثيقَةُ فَمَن تَرَکَهُ رَغبَةًعَنهُ ألبَسَهُ اللهُ ثَوبَ الذُّلِ. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح، الخطبة27، ص69)

4. The one who is pleased & satisfied with the deed of a nation (group) is like the one who has shared that with it. And for all those entering into a falsehood there are two sins; the sin of practice & the sin of being pleasec;l with it. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH. QISAR UL HIKAM. 154 P 499) 

5. Ali(A.S) was questioned about faith. So he replied ., Faith rests upon four pillars. 

1. Patience 2. certitude 3. Justice 4. Jehad (holywar). And patience out of those, has four branches. Keen ness & eagerness (2) fear (3) Piety (4) wait. 

The one who is keen & eager for Heaven steps aside the passionate temptations & the one who has the fear of hell fire abstains & refrains from the fobidden deeds & the one who has asceticism in the world takes the calamities & anguishes (of life) easy & the person who is looking forward to & waiting for death makes haste & hurry towards the good deeds. 

And Jehad (holy war) is based upon four branches. 1. The ordering of good deeds. 

2. Stopping from the bad deeds. 

3. & truthfulness on the battle front of struggle & combat. 4. & the enemity with trangressors. 

So, the one who orders the good deeds strengthens the backs of faithfulls. And the one who stops people from bad deeds has rubbed the noses of the infidels upon dust (belittled & weakened them). And the one who truth fully stands up in the battle field has discharged an obligatory practice. And the one who gets enraged & furious with the transgressors & gets angry for Allah, Allah too becomes enraged & angry for his sake & will please him on the resurrection day. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH QISAR UL HIKAM 31. P 473) 

6. So indeed, Jehad (holywar) is a door out of the doors of Heaven. Allah has opened it upon His special friends (saints). And that (Jehad) is the dress of piety & the firm & securing armoured Jacket of Allah & His dependable shield & the one who abondons it because of being uninclined to it, Allah makes him put on the dress of humility. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH, sennan, 27, P 69)

7- اِنَّما بَدءُ وُقُوع الفِتَنِ اَهواءُ تُّتَبَعُ وَاَحکامٌ تُبتَدَعُ يُخالَفُ فِيها کِتابُ اللهِ وَيَتَوَلّ? عَلَيها رِجالٌ رِجالاً عَل? غَيرِ دينِ اللهِ فَلَو اَنَّ الباطِلِ خَلَصَ مِن مِزاجِ الحَقَّ لَم يَخفَ عَل? مُرتادِيَن، وَلَو اَنَّ الحَقَّ خَلَصَ مِن لَبسِ الباطِلِ انقَطَعَت عَنهُ السُنُ المُعانِدينَ، وَلکِن يُؤخَذُ مِن هَذا ضِغثٌ وَمِن هَذا ضِغثُ فَيُمزَجانِ فُهُنالِکَ يَستَوليَ الشَّيطانُ عَل? اَوليائِهِ وَيَنجُو الَّذِينَ سَبَقَت لَهُم مِنَ اللهِ الحُسن?. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح، الخطبة50، ص88)

8- اِنَّ دينَ اللهِ لا يُعرَفُ بِالرَّجالِ بَل بِآيَةِ الحَقَّ فَاعرِفِ الحَقَّ تَعرِف اَهلَهُ. (البحار/ج68/ص120)

9- لَا تَکونَنَّ عَبدَ غَيرِکَ فَقَد جَعَلَکَ اللهُ سُبحانَهُ حُرّاً. (غررالحکم،الفصل 85،ا لحديث219)

10- اِنَّ الأَمرَ بِالمَعرُوفِ وَالنَّه?َ عَنِ المُنکَرِ لا يُقَرَّبانِ مِن اَجَلٍ، وَلا يُناقَصانِ مِن رِزقٍ ولکِن يُضاعِفَانِ الثَّوابَ وَيُعَظِّمانِ الأَجرَ،وَاَفضَلُ مِنهُما کَلِمَةُ عَدلٍ عِندَ اِمامً جائِرٍ. (غررالحکم،الفصل 8، الحديث272)

11- مَن لَم يُصلِحهُ حُسنُ المُدارةِ يُصلِحهُ حُسنُ المُکافاةِ. (غررالحکم، الفصل77، الحديث547)

7.lndeed, the errupting of sedition &. iniquity is due to the following of lustful desires &. the artificial laws &. rules, those orders &. laws which are against the book of Allah. And a group of men stands up to defend those as against the religion &. constitution of Allah. If falsehood had completely seggregated from the righteousness, it would not have remained concealed &. hiden from those who are in the search of truth. 

And if the righteousness had been purified from the falsehood the tongues of the enemies &. rivals would have shortened from it. But they fetch a piece of right &. a piece &. part of falsehood &. mix !!hem up. This is where satan overwhelms his friends. And only those who are the object of the beneficience of Allah get salvation. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH SERMON 50, P 88) 

8. Indeed the religion of Allah is not identified through persons, instead, it is recognised by the sign of Rights. Therefore, do identify the light so as to identify people of the right. (A'LBIHAR. VOL 68. P 120) 

9. Do not be the slave of an other person, since, Allah has made you a free person. (GHARAR AL HIKAM CHAPTER 85, HADIETH 219

10. Verily, ordering the good deed &. stoping from the evil doings do neither draw the death closer nor diminishes &. decreases the sustenance. Instead these increase the reward &. turn it into a great one. And the superior of the two is uttering the word of justice before the tyrant &. oppressive ruler. (GHARAR AL HIKAM CHPTER 8, HADIETH 272) 

11. The one who is not rectified &. corrected by soft &. nice conduct is corrected by a good punishment. (GHARAR AL HIKAM CHAPTER 77, HADIETH 547) 

12-قَطَعَ ظَهرِي رَجُلانِ مِنَ الدُّنيا رَجُلٌ عَليمُ الِلّسانِ فاسِقٌ،وَرَجُلٌ جاهِلُ القَلبِ ناسِکُ. هذا يَصُدُّ بِلِسانِهِ عَن فِسقِهِ،وَهذا بِنُسکِهِ عَن جَهلِهِ.فَاتَّقُوا الفاسِقَ مِنَ العُلَماءِ،وَالجاهِلَ مِنَ المُتَعَبِدِينَ .اؤُلئِکَ فِتنَةُ کُلِّ مَفتُونٍ، فَإِنّ? سَمِعتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ (ص)يَقُولُ :يا عَلي هَلاکُ أُمَّتِي عل? يَدَي کُلَّ مُنافِقٍ عَلِيم اللِّسانِ. (روضة الواعظين ص6)(الحياة ج2 ص337)

13- وَلا يَکُونَنَّ المُحسِنُ وَالمُسي?ُ عِندَکَ بِمَنزِلةٍ سَواءٍ،فَإِنَّ في ذلِکَ تَزهيداً لأَِهلِ الإِحسانِ في الإِحسانِ،وَتَدريباً لِإَهلِ الإِساءَةِ عَلَ? الإِساءَةِ (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح، الکتاب53،ص430)

14-لا يَترُکُ النّاسُ شَيئاً مِن أَمرِ دِينِهِم لِاستِصلاحِ دُنياهُم إِلاّفَتَحَ اللهُ عَليهِم ما هُوَأَضَرُّمِنهُ. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح،قصار الحکم106،ص487) 

15- وَاِنَّما الدُّنيا مُنتَه? بَصَرِ الأَعم?،لايُبصِرُ مِمّا وَرَاءَها شَيئاً، وَالبَصيرُ يَنفُذُها بَصَرُهُ،وَيَعلَمُ اَنَّ الدّارَ وَرَاءَها فَالبَصيرُمِنها شاخِصٌ وَالأَعم? اِلَيها شاخصٌ، وَالبَصيرُ مِنها مُتَزوَّدُ، وَالأَعم? لَها مُتَزوَّدَ. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح،الخطبة133، ص191) 

12. Two person broke my back in the world. 1.A glib tongued transgressor. 2. A bleak hearted ignorant adorer. And the first one stops &. constrains others from reaching for his transgression. While the other one blocks the way to the finishing of his ignorance, by his adoration. Thus be afraid of transgressor scholar &. the ignorant adrorer because these (two) are the test (ordeal) for all those who get enchanted. 

I heard the Prophet of Allah saying, 'The destruction &. annihilation of (people of) my ummah is at the hands of all the glib tongued hypocrites (Allem ullisan means a person who knows how to exactly use his tongue to his benefit). (Raoza tul waizeen, P 6 Alhayat VOL 2, P 337) 

13. Absolutely must never the good doer &. the evil doer be equal in your eyes, since, this thing becomes the reason of the uninclination of those performing good deeds in their performance of good deeds &. the encouragement &. incentive of the evil doer upon doing bad deeds. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SAHLEH, chapter 35, P 430) 

14. People do not abandon anything from the affair of their religion for the rectification (progress) of their world (life) except that Allah opens the (vistas of) more harmful thing for them (than that). (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH QISAR AL HIKAM 106, P 487) 

15. Indeed world (matter) is the extreme end of the vision of a blind (hearted person). He does not see any thing beyond that. But the one having vision looks at it with deep &. profound (Penetrating) eye sight &. knows that the (permenant) home is beyond that. So the visionist is prepared to march off from it. But the blind hearted has pinned up &. fixed his gaze upon it. The visionist picks up his provison of journey from it But the blind one makes provision for it. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH, SERMON 133, P 191) 

16- وَاجعَل نَفسَکَ ميزاناً فيما بَينَکَ وَبَيَن غَيرِکَ،فَأَحبِب لِغَيرِکَ ما تُحِبُّ لِنَفسِکَ وَاکرَه لَهُ مَاتَکرَهُ لِنَفسِکَ،وَلا تَظلِم کَما لا تُحِبُّ أَن تُظلَمَ وَأحسِن کَما تُحِبُّ أَن يُحسَنَ إِلَيکَ وَالستَقبِح مِن نَفسِکَ ما تَستَقبِحُ مِن غَيرِکَ، وَاَرضَ مِنَّ الناسِ لَکَ ماتَرض? بِهِ لَهُم مِنکَ، وَلا تَقُل بِمالا تَعلَمُ،بَل لا تَقُل کُلَّ مَا تَعلَمُ،وَلا تَقُل ما لا تُحِبُّ أَن يُقالَ لَکَ. (تحف العقول ص74)

17- اَصدِقاؤُکَ ثَلاثَةٌ وَاعداؤُکَ ثَلاثَةٌ:فَأَصدِقاؤُکَ:صَديقُکَ وَصَديقُ صَديقِکَ وَعَدُوُّ عَدُوَّکَ. وَاَعداؤُکَ:عَدُوُّکَ وَعَدُوُّ صَديقِکَ،وَصَديقُ عَدُوَّک. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح،قصاذالحکم295، ص527)

18- مَن کَثُرَ کَلامُهُ کَثُرَ خَطأُهُ وَمَن کَثُرَ خَطأُهُ قَلَّ حَياؤُهُ، وَمَن قَلَّ حَياؤُهُ قَلَّ وَرَعَهُ، وَمَن قَلَّ وَرَعَهُ ماتَ قَلبُهُ،وَمَن ماتَ قَلبُهُ دَخَلَ النّارَ. (تحف العقول ص89)

19-لا تَنظُر اِل? مَن قالَ وَانظُراِل? ما قالَ. (غرالحکم،الفصل 85،الحديث40)

20- جُمِعَ الخَيرُکُلَّهُ ف? ثَلاثِ خِصالٍ: اَلنَّظَرُوالسُّکُوتُ وَالکَلامُ:فَکُلَّ نَظرٍ لَيسَ فيهِ اعتِبارٌ فَهُوَ سَهوٌ،وَکُلُّ سُکُوتٍ لَيسَ فيهِ فِکرَةٌ فَهُوَ غَفلَةٌ: وُکُلَّ کَلامٍ لَيسَ فيهِ ذِکرٌ فَهُوَ لَغوٌ.فَطُوب? لِمَن کانَ نَظَرُهُ عِبرَةً وَسُکُوتُهُ فِکرَةً وَکَلامُهُ ذِکراً وَبَک? عَل? خَطِيئَتِهِ وَأَمِنَ النّاسُ مِن شَرِّهِ. (تحف العقول ص215) 

16. Make your own self the standard in social conduct between yourself &. the other person. Thus do like the same for other person which you love for your own self. And dislike for others what you dislike &. hate for yourself. Do not commit excess upon anyone just as you like it that no one must commit agression against your own self. And do favour others just as you like others doing favour to you. And what you regard bad for others do regard that bad for yourself as well. 

It what you like to do with the people is done to you then do love it. (for yourself). And do not say what you do not know, instead even do not say all that you know. And do not utter a word which you dislike other's saying it to you. (TUHfUL AQOOL, P 74) 

17. Your friends are three, &. your enemies are three. So your friends are: your (own) friend, &. the friend of your friend &. the enemy of your enemy. And your enemies are: your (own) enemy &. the enemy of your friend &. friend of your enemy. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH QISAR AL HIKAM, 295,P 527) 

18. The one whose conversation &. speach becomes large in quantity his faults become plenty in number. And the one whose faults become great in number his modesty, &. shame decreases. And that one whose modesty lessens his piety decreases. And the person whose peity decreases his heart dies. And the one whose heart dies he enters the hell fire. (TUHfUL AQOOL, P 89)

19. Do not look at who speaks &. look at what he speaks. GHARAR AL HIKAM, chapter 85, Hadieth 40) 20. All the beneficiences have been gathered in three qualities: sighting 2. silence 3. speach. All the sighting &. veiwing which do not take place for learning lesson are forgetfulness &. all the silences which are deviod of meditaion are forgetfulness. And all the speaches &. talks which lack the remembrance of Allah are null &. void. So heaven Uoy) be for the one whose sighting &. veiwing is for taking lesson &. silence is meditation &. conversation is the remembrance of Allah. And he weeps upon his sins (repentingly) &. people are safe &. secure from his harm. (TUHfUL AQOOL, P 215) 

21-اِنَّ لِلوَلَدِ عَلَ? الوالِدِ حَقَّاً،وَاِنَّ لِلوالِدِ عَلَ? الوَلَدِ حَقّاً، فَحَقُّ الوالِدِ عَلَ? ألوَلَدِ اَن يُطِيعَهُ في کُلِّ شَيءٍ، اِلّا في مَعصِيَةِ اللهِ سُبحانَهُ، وَحَقُّ الوَلَدِ عَلَ? الوالِدِ اَن يُحسِنَ اِسمَهُ، وَيُحَسَّنَ اَدَبَهُ،وَيُعَلِمَهُ القُرآنَ. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح،قصار الحکم399، ص546) 

22-اَلدُّنيا دارُصِدقِ لِمَن صَدَّقَها وَدارُعافِيَةٍ لِمَن فَهِمَ عنها،وَدارُغِن?ً لِمَن تَزَوَّدَ مِنها . مَسجِدُ اَلنبِياءِاللهِ،وَمَهبَطُ وَحيِهِ،وَمُصَلّ? مَلائِکَتِهِ وَمَتجَرُاَوليِائِهِ، اِکتَسَبُوا فيهَا الرَّحمَةَ، وَرَبِحُوا فِيهَا الجَنَّةَ، فَمَن ذايَذُمُّها؟ وقَدآذَنَت بِبَينِهَا،وَنادَت بِفِراقِها، وَنَعَت نَفسَها،فَشَوَّقَت بِسُرُورِها اِل?َ السُّرُورِ،وَحَذَّرَت بِبَلائِها اِلَ? البَلاءِ،تَخوِيفاً وَتَحذِيراً، وَتَرغِيباً وَتَرهِيباً فَيا اَيُّهَا الذَّامُّ لِلدُّنيا وَالمُغتَرُّ بِتَغريرِها مَت? غَرَّتکَ؟اَبِمَصارعِ آبائِکَ مِن البلَ?؟ اَم بِمَضاجِعِ أُمّهاتِکَ تَحتَ الثَّر?؟ (بحار77 ص418)

23- اَيُّها النّاسُ اِنَّ اخوَفَ ما اَخافُ عَلَيکُمُ اثنانِ: اتَّباعُ الهَو?،وَطُول الأَمَلِ، فَأَمّا اتَّباعُ الهَو? فَيَصُدُّ عَنِ الحَقَّ،وَاَمّا طُولُ الأَمَلِ فَيُنسِي الآخِرَةَ. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح،الخطبة42،ص83)

24- مِن اَصلَحَ سَرِيرَتَهُ اَصلَحَ اللهُ عَلانِيَتَه، وَمِن عَمِل لِدِينِهِ کَفاهُ اللهُ اَمرَ دُنياهُ، وَمَن اَحسَنَ فِيما بَينَهُ وَبَينَ اللهِ اَحسَنَ اللهُ ما بَينَهُ وَبَينَ النّاسِ. (نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح،قصارالحکم423، ص551)

21. Indeed the son has a right over his father & the father (too) certainly has a right upon his son so the right of father upon the son is this that he obeys him in all the things except the sins fobiddin by Allah. And the son's right upon his father is that he gives him a good name & good training & make him learn the Quran.(NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH QISAR AL HIKAM 399, P 546) 

22. The world is a house of truth for the one who deals it with truth & a house of safety for the one who understands (something) from it & a house of wealth for the one who wishes to take provision (for journey) from it. The world is the mosque & place of prostration of the Prophets & the descending place of Allahs revelation And the service place of the angels. And the market of His friends, those who achieved & got the mercy (of Allah) & earned paradise in it. So who denounces it? Where as it has announced it's seperation & called aloud (regarding) it's departure & parting. And informed about irs death. So it has made them attentive by its happiness toward felicities (joys & comforts) & by it's anguishes & calamities toward the afflictions. Sometime it scares & sometirl)e it warns.

When he was confrQnted with two matters that he did not know which one of those was nearer to Allah, then he would see which of those was nearer to his desire so he would oppose it. 

He did not blame anyone for the works where in there was room for excuse, in similar cases. (TUHFUL AQOOL P 234)

20- مَن اَحَبَّ الدُّنيا ذَهَبَ خَوفُ الآخِرَةِ عَن قَلبِهِ… (لثال? الخبار ج1 ص51) 

19. Janada bin umaiyyah says I visited Imam Hassan bin Ali bin Abutalib during the ailment which caused his death. I said " Oh lord why do you not get yourself treated? He said ',0 Abdullah with what may I treat the death? I said "انا لله وانا اليه راجعون(Indeed, we are for Allah & toward HIM shall we go back) then he turned to me & said ',By Allah, the Prophet of Allah(P.B.U.H) got us committed that twelve Imams would be the owners of this matter (Imamate) from the sons of Ali(A.S) & Fatimaf(S.W.A) There is none of us but that he would be poisoned or slain. And then he(P.B.U.H)admonished me.' 

He said ',yes, get ready for your journey (towards resurrecction day) & get your provisions before your death arrival. And know it that you seek the world (material sources) & death is seeking you. Do not load the worry of the day which has not yet come, upon your present day. And beaware that you do not achieve & attain a wealth above your energy but you are a trustee of it (wealth) for an other person. And do know that there is account in it's lawful & permitted, & in it's prohibited lies punishment & retribution, & in it's paradox & doubtfuls there is reproof. So, suppose the world as if it is a dead corpse (dirt).

Take out of it which is sufficient for you. So if it is halal (lawful & legal) you have adopted piety & asceticism. And if it (sustenence) is (from) prohibited there wold be no load (upon you) since you took out of it just as you took out of a dead corpse. And if there is a reproof that reproof is easy (soft one). And work for your world as if you would live here for ever & work for your resurrection day & here after as if you have to die tomorrow. And if you intend to acheive honour without a tribe & apalling presence & majesty without a rulership then move out of the abjectness & disgrace of comitting sin fobidden by Allah, towards the honour of the obedience of Allah.

Had you been patient upon the torture (of enemy) &. had endured &. borne the expenditure on Allah's course the matters of Allah (the manamgement of Muslim affairs) would have come to your hands &. those would have originated from you &. returned to you but, you got the tyrants imposed at your place &. surrundered the affairs of Allah to them. They practice upon doubtful (imbiguous) &. move on the course of lustful desires. Your runing away from the death &. atachment with the life, which must part from you, made them imposed upon that (mentioned above). (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 2.38)

12. Oh Allah, You know all that took place at our hand (struggle, movement against evils) was neither for the lust of kingship (power) nor to gain wealth but it was for manifesting the signs &. symbols of Your religion &. to bring about &. implement amendment &. correction (reform) in Your cities &'. make the oppressed &'. afflicted ones out of Your servants peaceful &'. that Your obligatory &'. desriable services &'. commands be put into practice.

4. Imam SAJJAD wrote in a letter to Mohammed lbne Muslim azzahari one of the court scholars of that age: Allah took a committment from the scholars in his book, where in, He said 'manifest them to the people &. do not hide them (the facts of the Holy Books). (ALE. IMRAN. 187) 

And know it, that the least &. minimum of that YOtf hide &. the lowest (degree) of weight of responsibility which you will carry (on this way) is that you calmed down &. soothed up the fear &. harrasment of the tyrant &. (paved &. plained) made the way of his error &. enticment, easy for him by your getting closer to him. 

Is it not that by their inviting you they wish to make you like axis of a water mill, the pivot &. center of their oppressions &. get those things managed through you. 

And make you a bridge to (safely) cross over &. avoid their nuisances &. evils, &. make you a stair towards their deviations &. aberrations, a caller &. invitor towards their way of enticement &. error i &. the traverser of their way &. make the people doubtful about the scholars through yourself. And attract the hearts of the ignorant public towards themselves through you. The work which they get from you is neither accecible to the most expert of their ministers &. nor their most powerful &. energetic co-workers &. helpers. 

So how little is it that they give you for the worth of what they take from you &. how worthless is that which they flourish for you as compared to what they ruin for you? 

So see into your soul &. think about yourself because no one else will see to it &. think about it. (you are a responsible person &. will be braught to account &. undergo question on the resurrection day). (TUHfUL AQOOL, P 276)

7ـ کُلُّ مَن دانَ اللهَ بِعِبادَةٍ يَجهَدُ فيها نَفسَهُ وَلا إِمامَ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ فَسَعيَهُ غَيرُ مَقبُولٍ، وَهُوَ ضالٌّ مُتَحَيِّرٌ واللهُ شانِئُ لأَِعمالِهِ وَمَثَلُهُ کَمَثَلِ شَاةٍ ضَلَّت عَن راعِيها وَقَطِيعِها، فَهَجَمَت ذاهِبَةً وَجائِيَةً يَومَها، فَلَمّا جَنَّهَا اللَّيلُ بَصُرَت بِقَطيِع مَعَ غَيرِ راعيها، فَحَنَّت إِلَيها وَاغتَرَّت بِها، فَباتَت مَعَها في رَبضَتِهَا فَلَمّا أَن ساقَ الرّاعي قَطيعَهُ أَنکَرَت راعيها وَقَطيعَها، فَهَجَمَت مُتَحّيِّرَةٌ تَطلُبُ راعيَها وَقَطيعَها، فَبَصُرَت بِغَنَمٍ مَعَ راعيها، فَحَنَّت إِلَيها وَاغتَرَّت بِها، فَصاحَ بِها الرّاعِي إِلحَقي بِراعيکِ وَقَطيعِکِ، فَإنَّّکِ تَائِهَةٌ مُتَحَيِّرَةٌ عَن راعيکِ وَقَطيعِکِ فَهَجَمَت ذَعرَةً مُتَحَيِّرَةً نادَّةً لا راعِيَ لَها يُرشِدُها إل? مَرعاها أَو يَرُدُّها، فَبَينَا هِيَ کَذلِکَ إِذِا اغتَنَم الذِّئبُ ضَيعَتَها فَأکَلَها، وَکَذلِکَ وَاللهِ يا مُحَمَّدُ مَن أَصبَحَ مِن هذِهِ الأمَّةُ لا إِمامَ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ ظاهِراً عادِلاً أَصبَحَ ضالاً تائِهاً وَإِن ماتَ عَل? هذِهِ الحالِ ماتَ مِيتَةَ کُفرٍ وَنِفاقٍ. (اصول الکاف? ج2 ص375)

8- مَن أَحَبَّ لِلّهِ وَأبغَضَ لِلّهِ وَأَعط? لِلّهِ فَهُوَ مِمَّن کَمُل ايمانُهُ. (اصول الکاف? ج2 ص124) 

9ـ عَن جابِرٍ عَن أَب? جَعفَر عَلَيهِ السَّلامُ قالَ: قالَ ل? يا جابِرُ أيَکتَفي مَن يَنتَحِلُ التَّشَيُّعَ أَن يَقُولَ بِحُبِّنا أَهلَ البَيتِ؟ فَوَاللهِ ما شِيعَتُنَا إِلاّ مَن أتَّقَ? اللهَ وَأَطاعَهُ، وَما کانُوا يُعرَفُونَ يا جابِرُ إِلاّ بِالتَّواضُعِ، وَالتَّخَشُّعِ، وَالأَمانَةِ، وَکَثرَةِ ذِکرِ اللهِ، وَالصَّوِم، وَالصَّلاةِ، وَالبِرَّ بِالوالِدَينِ، وَالتَّعاهُدِ لِلجيرانِ مِن الفُقَراءِ وَأَهلِ المَسکَنَةِ وَالغارِمينَ وَالأَيتامِ، وَصِدقِ الحَديثِ، وَتِلاوَةِ القُرآنِ، وَکَفِّ الأَلسُنِ عَنِ النّاسِ إلاّ مِن خَيرٍ، وَکانُوا أُمَناءَ عَشائِرِهِم فِي الأَشياءِ. (اصول الکاف? ج2 ص74)

7. The person who serves Allah according to a religion so putting himself in great inconvinience & hardship for it & does noqhave (submitt to) an Imam fixed by Allah then his endevour is unaccepted (rejected). And he is a lost. gone astray, & wondering person in (a state of) perplexity. And Allah is the enemy of his practices. And his example is that of a sheep which has lost her shepherd & herd & remains wandering hither &- t11lther, all the day long. 

There after, when night falls she mistakenly joins a (different) herd whose shepherd is other than the shepherd of her own herd. After (the night) when the shepherd drives the herd she again gets astonished & perplexed not finding her own shepherd & herd & again starts the search for her own shepherd & herd. And (again) finds a shepherd with a herd (only) to mistakenly join it & the shepherd having seen her shouts at her asking her to go & join it's own herd since, she has lost her shepherd & herd. And she is amazed & at a loss to know what to do. She being afraid of the wolf is running this way & that way. She does not have her shepherd to lead her to her meadow or tum her back. In the mean while. the wolf valuing & esteeming the opportunity eats her up. 

And oh Mohammed, by Allah similarly, any body in this ummah &, community too, who starts a morning in a condition that he does not believe in the Imam appointed by Allah, an Imam who is evident apparant, just, & equitable he will start the morning in a condition that he is gone astray & perplexed. 

And if he dies in this (very) condition he will die a death of infidelity & hypocrisy. (USOOL AL KArl. VOL I, P 375) 8. The person who loves for the sake of Allah & detests & despises for the sake of Allah & gives for the sake of Allah is among those whose faith has achieved completion. (USOOL AL KArl. VOL 2. P 124) 

9. Jabir Marrates that Imam Abi Jaffar said to me ',Oh Jabir does it suffice that a person claims to be shia & that he says he loves us, the Ahle bait, (house hold of the Prophet?' 

By Allah, no one is our shia except that he has piety for Allah (guard himself against sin) & obeys HIM. They (shias) are not known & recognised except for their humility. modesty, fear of Allah. & submission trust worthiness, & trustability, abundance & plenty of remembrance of Allah. fasting, service, kindness to the parents. looking after the poor neighbours & affflicted people & the indebted ones & the orphans & speaking truth & reciting the holy Quran & restraining of the tongue about people except mentioning them with goodness & beneficience. And they are the trustees for their tribes in all the affairs. (USOOL AL KArl VOL 2. P 84) 

10- إنماالمؤمن الذي إذا رضي لم يدخله رضاه في إثم ولا باطلف وإذا سخط لم يخرجه سخطه من قول الحق، والذ? إذا قدرلم تخرجه قدرته ال? التعد? إل? ما ليس له بحق. (اصول الکاف? ج2 ص234) 

11- ما مِن عَبدٍ إِلاّ وَفي قَلبِهِ نُکتَةٌ بَيضاءُ،فَإِذا أَذنَبَ ذَنباً خَرَجَت فِي النُّکتَةِ نُکتَةٌ سَوداءُ،فَإن تابَ ذَهَبَ تِلکَ السَّوادُ، وَإِن تَماد? فِي الذُّنُوبِ زادَ ذلِکَ السَّواد حَت? يُغَطِّيَ البَياضَ،فَإذا غَطّ? البَياضَ لَم يَرجِع صاحِبُهُ إِل? خَيرٍ أَبَداً، وَهُوَ قَولُ اللهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ:(( کَلاّ بَل رانَ عَل? قُلُوبِهِم ما کانُوا يَکسِبُونَ)). (بحار الانوار ج73 ص332)

12- اِنَّ الرَّجُلَ اِذا اَصابَ مالاً مِن حَرامٍ لَم يُقبَل مِنهُ حَجٌّ وَلا عُمرَةٌوَلا صِلَةُ رَحمٍ… (بحار الانوار ج99 ص125)

14- ثَلاثَةٌ مِن مَکَارِمِ الدُّنيا وَالاخِرَةِ: اَن تَعفُوَ عَمَّن ظَلَمَکَ. وَتَصِلَ مَن قَطعَکَ.وَتَحلُمَ اِذا جُهِلَ عَلَيکَ. (تحف العقول ص293) 

15- اِنَّ اللهَ کَرِهَ إلحاحَ النّاسِ بَعضِهِم عَل? بَعضٍ في المَسألَةِ وَاَحَبَّ ذلِکَ لِنَفسِهِ. (تحف العقول ص293)

16- عالِمٌ يُنتَفَعُ بِعِلمِهِ اَفضَلُ مِن سَبعينَ اَلفَ عابِدٍ. (تحف العقول ص294) 

10. Indeed. faithful is the one who. when pleased & glad his pleasure does not make him enter into sin & falsehood (He does not commit any sin while happy). And when unhappy & angry his anger does not oust him from the word of righteousnss. (He does not abandon the right course) And when he gains power his power does not make him commit excess &:. oppression &:. make him go for a thing upon which he does not have any right. (USOOL AL KAFI. VOL 2. P 234) 

11. There is no servant except that there exists a white spot upon his heart. So when he commits a sin a black spot arises into that white spot. So when he repents this black spot moves away. And if he continues on committing sins the blackness of this spot increases till such time it overwhelms &:. over rides the whiteness. When the whiteness is covered over (by the blackness) the owner of it (heart) does never at all return to wards beneficience &:. goodness. And this is what Allah means when he says: ((کلا بل ران عل? قلوبهم ما کانوا يکسبون. مطففين/14))"Nay! rather, what they used to do has become lIke a rust upon their hearts.' (SURAH MUTAFAFIN -VERSE: 14, BIHARUL ANWAR, VOL 73, P 332) 

12. Indeed, when a man earns the wealth from Haram (prohibited) sources, no Hajj &:. no umrah &:. no strengthening of his blood kinship is never at all accepted &:. approved. (by Almighty God). (BIHARUL ANWAR. VOL 99. P 125)

14. There are three things out of the completions &:. worths &:. values of the world &:. there after: I. Forgiving the one who has commited excess &:. aggression against you. 2. Joining the one who cuts off relations &:. ties with you. 3. Forbearance &:. tolerence for the one who committed a folly &:. showed insane behaviour &:. conduct towards you. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 293) 

15. Allah dislikes &:. hates the importunately soliciting & urging of men to the other men for some problems (needs, wants, desires) &:. He approves &:.Ioves it for Himself. (TUHFUL AQOOL. P293) 

16. The scholar whose knowledge is made use of &:. benefitted from, is worthier &:. more virtuous than seventy thousand worshippers &:. adorers. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 294)

21- اِيّاکَ وَالتَسويفَ فِإنَّهُ بَحرٌ يَغرقُ فيهِ الهَلک? وَإِيّاکَ وَالغَفلَةَ فَقِيهَا تَکُونُ قَساوَةُ القَلبِ وَاِيَّاکَ وَالتَّوان? فيما لا عُذرَلَکَ فيهِ فَإلَيهِ يَلجَاء النّادِمُونَ وَاستَرجِع سالِفَ الذُّنُوبِ بِشِدَّةِ النّدَمِ وَکَثرَهِ آلإستِغفارِ وَتَعَرَّض لِلرَّحمَةِ وَعَفوِ اللهِ بِحُسنِ المُراجَعَةِ وَآستَعن عَلَ? حُسنِ المُراجَعةِ بِخالِصِ الدُّعاءِ وَالمُناجاةِ في الظُّلَمِ وَتَخَّلَص إِل? عَظِيمِ الشُّکرِ بإستِکثارِ قَلِيلِ الرَّزقِ واستِقلالِ کَثِيرِ الطّاعَةِ واستَجلِب زِيادَةَالنَّعَمِ بِعظِيمِ الشُّکرِ… (تحف العقول ص285)

17. I recommend you to have five virtues. 1. If you have undergone oppression &:. tyranny, you do not oppress. 2. If a dishonesty has been committed with you, do not commit dishonesty. 3. If you have been falsified &:. constradicted do not get annoyed &:. vexed. 4. If you have been praised do not get pleased &:. glad. 5. And if you are vilified &:. disparaged do not be impatient &:. apprehensive. 

And do contemplate &:. ponder about what is said about you. So if you observe &:. come to know about something which exists in you (vice) then do know that to loose your honour &:. falling down in Allah's veiw for a right &:. just thing is much more of a greater &:. graver calamity than loosing respect in the eyes of people. And if your condition is contrary to what has been said about you, then you have earned a reward &:. recompense short of any physical strain. (TUHf1JL AQOOL. P 284) 

18. Certainly, Allah grants this material world to the one whom he loves &:. the one whome he despises. And he does not bestow his religion to anyone except whome He loves. (TUHf1JL AQOOL, P 300)

19. Beware! caution! Do not acquire enemity because it rottens &:. turns the heart evil &:. causes to develop hypocrisy. (AIMATANA, VOL I, P 365, NARRATED FROM THE BOOKk HILYAT UL AULIA)

And beware of neglectfulness, since, it causes the hardening &:. stiffening of heart.

And revert back the past sins committed, by intensity of shamfulness, repentence &:. abundance of penitence &: imploring forgiveness. And attract the mercy &:forgiveness of Allah through nicety &:. beauty of referrence (purity of prayers) And to lay hands upon decency of reference get the help of pure prayers &:. sublimation in the darkness of night. 

And get tpe purification of thankfulness by considering the small amount of sustenene as great &:. thinking great amount of (your) services as meagre &:. small. Andattract the abundance of benovelences &:. beneficiences through greatness of thankgiving. (TUHf1JL AQOOL, P 285) 

22- ثَلاثُ خِصالٍ لايَمُوتُ صاحِبُهُنَّ اَبدَاً حَتّ? يَر? وَبالَهُنَّ:اَلبَغيُ وَقَطيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ. وَاليَمينُ الکاذِبَةُ يُبارِزُاللهَ بِها. وَإِنَّ اَعجَلَ الطّاعَةِ ثَواباً لَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَإِنَّ القَومَ لَيَکُونُونَ فُجّاراً فَيَتَواصَلُونَ فَتُنم? اَموالُهُم وَيثرُونَ. وَإِنَّ اليَمينَ الکاذبَةَ وَقَطَيعَةَ الرَّحِمِ لَيَذَرانِ الدِّيارَ بلاقِعَ مِن أَهلِها .

22. There are three things the owner (committer) of whome does not die until he finds & reaches their punishment. 

1. Oppression & cruelity. 

2. Rupture & desertion of one's blood kinship. 

3. False oath, which is a war against Allah. 

And connecting &joining the kinship is an act which gets the quickest of rewards & indeed there is a community which consists of trangressors but their wealth gets exhoberent & increased & they become rich & wealthy by virtue of joining the kinship. And the false oath & desertion of blood kinship turns the cities along with their inhabitants vacated & deserted (by the death) of their inhabitants & dwellers. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 294)

23. Who so ever's tongue utters the truth, his practice becomes purified & the one whose intention is decent & good, his sustenene boosts up & increases. And who ever adopts a decent & nice attitude & behaviour with his family his life belengthens. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 295) 

24. Beware of sluggishness, annoyance & impatience since these are the keys to all the evils. 

The person who commits sluggishness & slackness never at all discharges any right & the one who gets impatient & restless, does never at all remain patient over the right. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 295) 

25. Humility & humbleness (means) is to be pleased & contented with sitting in, an assembly at a place lower than ones status & honour, & saluting anybody one meets & adandoning dispute even if one is right. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 296)

27. Nobody remains safe from sin unless he guards histongue. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 298) 

28. Indeed, Allah hates & despises the curser, rebuker & sarcastics of faithfuls (those who curse, rebuke & give sarcastic remarks about the faithfuls.) (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 300) 

29-وَاعلم يا مُحَمَّدُ أَنَّ أَئِمَّةَ الجَورِ وَأَتباعَهُم لَمَعزُولُونَ عَن دينِ اللهِ قَد ضَلُّوا وَاَضَّلُوا،فَأَعمالُهُمُ الَّتي يَعمَلُونَها کَرَمادٍ اشتَدَّت بِهِ الرّيحُ في يَومٍ عاصِفٍ لا يَقدِرُونَ مِمّا کَسَبُوا عَل? شَيءٍ ذلِکَ هُوَ الضَّلالُ البَعيدُ. (اصول الکافي ج1 ص375) 

30- اِنَّ اللهَ خَبَاءَ ثَلاثَةً فِي ثَلاثِةٍ خَبَاءَ رِضاهُ فِي طاعَتِهِ فَلا تَحقرَنَّ مِنَ الطّاعَةِ شَيئاًفَلَعَلَّ رِضاهُ فيهِ وَخَبَاءَ سَخَطَهُ فِي مَعصِيَتِهِ فَلا تَحقرَنَّ مِنَ المَعصِيَةِ شَيئاً فَلَعَلَّ سَخَطَهُ فيهِ وَخَبَاءَ اَولِيائَهُ فِي خَلقِهِ فَلا تَحقرَنَّ اَحَداً فَلَعَّلَهُ الوُلِيُّ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص188)

31- فَاَنزِل نَفسَکَ مِنَ الدُّنيا کَمَثلِ مَنزِلٍ نَزَلتَهُ ساعَةً ثُمَّ ارتَحَلتَ عَنهُ اَو کَمَثَلِ مالٍ استَفَدتَهُ في مَنامِکَ فَفَرِحتَ بِهِ وَسررتَ ثُمَّ انتَبَهتَ مِن رَقدَتِکَ وَلَيسَ في يَدِکَ شَيءٌ. (تحف العقول ص287)

32- ثَلاثٌ قاصِماتُ الظَّهرِ: رَجُلٌ استَکثَرَ عَمَلُهُ وَنَسِيَ ذَنبَهُ وَأعجِبَ بِرَأيِهِ. (کتاب الخصال ج1 ص112)

29. Mohammed Bin Muslim says Imam Mohammed Baqir (A.S) said to me, Oh Mohammed know it that the oppressive leaders (rulers) &: their followers are ousted &: purgated from the religion of Allah. They have gone astray, distracked &: made the people go astray. So their practices are like ashes which are dispersed &: blown up by winds on a stormy &: squally day. They can not lay hands upon what they have achieved, this is the same ((ضلال البعيد)) remote &: distanced deviation &: aberration. (USOOL AL KAFI, VOL 1, P 375) 

30. Indeed, Allah has hidden three things in three others. His pleasure in his obedience. So of course, do not belittle anything from his obedience, since His pleasure may be in the same one. 

And Allah has concealed his wrather &: anger in His sin. So of course do not belittle &: count any sin as small. May be the wrath of Allah is in it. And he has concealed His friends &: saints among the people, so do not belittle &: look down upon anyone perhaps he may be the friend &: saint of Allah. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 78, P 188) 

31. Consider the world as an abode where in you have droped down for an hour &: then you have got to leave it &: go ahead or (suppose it) like the wealth which you lay hands upon in the dream &: get over joyed &: glad. Then you wake up to find yourself empty handed. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 287)

32. Three things are back breaking: 

1. A person who considers his practice as exhoberent. 
2. A person who forgets his sins. 
3. A person who is pleased with his opinion &: veiw (considering it superior). (KITAB UL KHISAL VOL 1, P 112) 

33. The one whose appearance &: apparant looks are better than his interior condition his scale of practice is light (weightless). (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 294) 

34- اِنَّ اللهَ ثَقَلَ الخَيرَ عَل? اَهلِ الدُّنيا کَثِقلِهِ ف? مَوازينِهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ وَاَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ خَفَّفَ الشَّرَّ عَل? اَهلِ الدُّنيا کَخِفَّتِهِ في مَوازينهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ. (اصول الکافي،ج2 ص143) باب تعجيل فعل الخير)

39- اِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ جَعَلَ لِلشَّرَّ اَقفالاً وَجَعَلَ مَفاتيحَ تِلکَ الأَقفالِ اَلشَّرابَ.وَالکِذبُ شَرُّمِنَ الشَّرابِ. (بحارالانوار ج2 ص237) 

40- لَويَعلَمُ السّائل ما فِي المَسألَةِ ما سَأَلَ اَحَدٌ اَحَداً وَلَويَعلَمُ المَسُئُول ما فِي المَنعِ ما مَنَعَ اَحَدٌ اَحَداً. (تحف العقول ص300)

34. Indeed, Allah made the benficience heavy for (material seeking) people of the world just as the weight of it in their scales on the dooms day. And doubtlessly Allah has made the evil light (easy) for the (material seeking) world people just as He would make their scales of practices light &. weightless on the resurrection day. (USOOL AL KAFI VOL 2. P 14.3) (chapter Hurry, about the good deeds) 

35. So hold the present day in esteem &. tommorw, it is not known to whom does it belong. (TUHfUL AQOOL, P 299) 

36. Heaven is surrounded by unpleasentnesses &. patience. So, the one who remains patient over it's, unpleasentness in the world, enters the paradise.

FORlY TRADITIONS FROM IMAM jAFER SADlQ (A.S) 1.However, the prohibited form of guardiouship: So the rulership of the tyrant ruler &: the rulership of his govemers, their chief, the follwers of the rulers, so besides them the sub rulers under the rule of the main ruler, right down to the smallest one, is a door out of the doors of rulership upon whom he is a ruler. And working for them &: having bussiness &: trade relations whith them (as an acceptance of their rule) is prohibited &: unlawful 

Who soever does it, whether more of it or less of it, will get tormented &: chastised. 

Because all that done (as an assistance to them) is a big sin among the big sins. 

And this is because during the rulership of the tyrant all the righteousness gets wiped off. &: all that is falsehood will be revived in the rulership of the oppressor &: tryrant ruler. And the cruelity &: brutility &: corruption manifested &: the heavenly books will get falsified &: forfeited. And the Prophets &: faithfuls will be killed. And the mosques will get dislodged &: dismantled. And the sunnah &: ordinances &: religious laws of Allah be changed. This is the reason why co working with them, helping, &: assisting them except where there exists a nececity like eating (haram &: probited) blood &: corpse (deal body). )for saving of life etc) is prohibited. (TUHfUL AQOOL. P .3.32) 

2. Indeed the cognition &: knowing of Allah provides comfort in all terrors &: frights. And it is the companion in all solitudes &: lonlinesses &: the light in all darknesses &: energy in all weaknesses &: feeblenesses &: the cure of all diseases &: ailments. (FAROO AL KAFI VOL 8. P 247) 3- عَن عمَرِبنِ حَنظَلَة قالَ: سَأَلتُ اَبا عَبدِاللهِ (ع) عَن رَجُلَينِ مِن اَصحابِنا بَينَهُما مُنازِعَةٌ ف? دَينٍ اَو ميراثٍ، فَتَحاکَما اِل? السُّلطانِ وَاِلَ? القُضاةِ اَيَحِلُّ ذلِکَ؟ قالَ:مَن تَحاکَمَ اِلَيهِم ف? حَقٍّ اَو باطلٍ فاِنَّما تَحاکَمَ اِل? الطّاغُوتِ، وَ ما يَحکُمُ لَهُ فإنَّما يَأخُذُ سُحتاً ،وَاِن کانَ حَقّاً ثابِتاً لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ اَخَذَهُ بِحُکمِ الطّاغُوتِ وَما اَمَرَ اللهُ اَن يُکفَرَ بِهِ،قالَ اللهُ تَعال? يُريدُونَ اَن يَتَحاکَمُوا اِلَ? الطّاغُوتِ وَقَد اُمِرُواَن يَکفُرُوبِهِ، قُلتُ فَکَيفَ يَصنَعانِ؟قالَ يَنظُرانِ مَن کانَ مِنکُم مِمَّن قَد رَو? حَديثَناوَنَظَرَ في حَلالِناوَحَرامِنا وَعَرفَ اَحکامَنا فَليَرضَوا بِهِ حَکَماً فاِنّي قَد جَعَلتَهُ عَلَيکُم حاکِماً. (الوسائل ج18 ص99)

3. Umer bin Hazala says I enquired from Imam Jaffer Sadiq(A.S) "Two men out of us have a dispute about a debt or a heritage &: proceed toward the king &: the judges of the age (appointed by the king) to get their affair settled. Is this act of theirs lawful?' 

Imam Sadiq said, 'Anyone who refers to them for Judgement of whether something right or false, so truely he has referd to Taghut (satan, Devil). And what so ever judgment the (satanic institution,) executes for him (should that even be a right one) is getting (haram) Prohibited wealth, because, he gets it upon the order of false diety, (satan). Where as, Allah has commanded in the Holy Quran to deny the satan &: devil. Allah said 'They desire to undergo the rulership of satan (Taghoot) &:' They have already been ordained to disbelieve it.' 

I said 'so how do they settle their dispute?' He replied ',They should look for the one among you who narrates our hedieth (traditions) &: sees into (Probes) our licit (lawful) &: our forbidden &: knows our legal provisions &: ordinances so they must get contented with his judgement (mediation). Truely, I have already made them the rulers over you. (ALW ASAIL VOL 18, P 99) 

4. The Judges are four (catagories). Three of them are to enter the hell fire &: a single one into the heaven. 1, The one who makes Judgement cruelly &: by injustice &: he is aware of it. 2. The one who makes judgements cruelly &: tyrnaically (unjustly) but unknowingly, he is in the fire of hell. .3. And a man who makes Judgement according to justice &: rightly &: he does not know it, so he is in the hell fire. 4. And a person who makes judgement rightly &: justly &: he knows it, so he will enter the paradise. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P .365) 

5. The person who sees his brother (religious) involved (in a problem) which is the cause of his trouble &: dislikeness &: he does not remove it from him although he can do that, has committed a dishonesty with him. (AMALI SADDUK, P 162) 

6. Nothing follows a person after his death except three virtues &. qualities. 1. The alms &: charity that he may have executed by the grace of Allah in his life &: which continues on after his death. (ie)-(like schools, hospitals, social welfare institutions, books, wells, bridges, roads etc.) 2. And a decent &: good tradition (left over by him) which is put into practice (after his death). 3. A pious son who prays for him. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P .36.3) 

7- لِلمُسلِمِ عَل? اَخيهِ المُسلِمِ مِنَ الحَقَّ اَن يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيهِ اِذا لَقِيَهُ، وَيَعُودَهُ اِذا مَرِضَ، وَيَنصَحَ لَهُ اِذا غابَ، وَيُسَمِّتَهُ اِذا عَطَسَ، وَيُجيبَهُ اِذا دَعاهُ، وَيتبَعَهُ اِذا ماتَ. (اصول کاف? ج2 باب اخوة المؤمن عل? هخيه ص171)

9- حَقُّ المُسلِمِ عَلَ? المُسلِمِ أَن لا يَشبَعَ وَيَجُوعَ أَخُوهُ، وَلا يَرو? وَيَعطَشَ اَخُوهُ،وَلا يَکتَسِ?َ وَيَعر? اَخُوهُ،فَما أَعظَمَ حَقَّ المُسلِمِ عَل? أَخيهِ المُسلِمِ، وَقالَ : أَحِبَّ لِاَخيکَ المُسلِمِ ما تُحِبُّ لِنَفسِکَ. (اصول کاف? ج2 باب حق المؤمن عل? اخية ص170)

10- أَلمُؤمِنُ أخُو المؤمن، عَينُهُ وَدليلُهُ لا يَخُونُهُ وَلا يَظلِمُهُ وَلا يَغُشُّهُ وَلا يَعِدُهُ عِدَةً فَيُخلِفُهُ. (اصول کاف? ج2 باب اخوة المومنين ص166)

9. The muslims' right upon (another) muslim is that he must not be full &' satiated &' his brother remains hungery. And he must not get his thirst quenched &' his brother remains thirsty.

13. There would be many categories &. classes of the people crossing over the path.. And the path would be thinner than a hair &. sharper than a sword.

And have hope from Allah the kind of hope &: aspiration which may not invoke &: make you dauntless &: brave in committing his sins &: prohibited acts.

And do neither get betrayed &: decieved by the word of ignorant &: nor by his praise lest you should become proud &: obstinant &: refractory &: give your self airs &: become proud about your practices &: acts. Thus the best &: superb of the practices is performing services &: humility &: humbleness.

And do not look towards the wealth except than that one you possess. And do not long &: aspire for the thing which you can not achieve. Because, the one who gets contented, gets full up &: the one who does not get contented never satiates &: saturates. And get your share from the here after. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 304)

But this is not a justification for comittingsin by those ignorant or that one should not become educated & learned in the field of religious ethics & Islamic code of conduct.)

So (now) very cautiously guard &. look after your soul. (TUHFUL AQOOk P 304)

(resurrection day). (TUHFUL AQOOL. P 305)

29. Goodness is just like it's name (good, & excellent) & there is nothing superior & superb than the goodness except it's reward & renumeration. And excellence & virtue is a gilt from AlIal1 to His servant. And it is not that who so ever loves to be fair & good to people does it (as well). And it does not happen that all those inclined & prone to it get the power & succeed in doing it. And it is not so that all those who have the power & limitation to practice & perform it get permitted & leave to perform it. So when Allah does a favour to a servant he gathers for him the inclination & tendency of doing good & the capacity & power & the permission. So then the prosperity & magnanimity gets completed for the goodness & its doer.. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 78, P 246)

35. Connect the blood kinship relations with the one who disconnect &. cuts off ties with you. And do grant to the one who deprives you. And do good to the person who does treat you bad. And salute to the one who abuses you. And treat him with justice the one who is cruel &. oppressive to you, just as you like to be forgiven. So keep the forgiveness &. remission of Allah in veiw. Do you not see that his sun shines (equally) over the pious one &. the trangressors, &. that his rain showers &. pours down upon the pious ones &. the evil doers (equally)? (TUHFUL AQOOL. P 305) 

36. Beware of three (kinds of) people. The dishonest &. the zaloom [11] (the most oppressor, tyrant cruel) &. tell tale.

3. 0, Hisham! verily, Luqman said to his son ',Adopt humility & humbleness for the right (Allah) you will become the intellectual most of the people, Oh son! World is a deep & profound ocean. Already lot many of the world creations have emersed & sunk into it. So make Piety your ship in it (to sail out safely) & make the faith it's cargo & putting trust in Allah it's sails & intellect (mind & wits) it's sailer (guide & captain) & knowledge it's guide & patience it's passengers (on board).

5. One day Imam Reza(A.S) mentioned Quran & so he described the magnanimity & glory of it's authority & it's miracles saying, That is the firm cable of Allah & firmest handhold & the ideal & model path, it guides & leads toward paradise & is the saviour from the fire (of Hell). It does not corrode & wear out by the passage & flow of time.

More over, it's continuous repetition & recitation through the tongue does not devalue & deppreciate it. since, it is not made to exist for a certain age & period apart from other ages & periods. Instead, it has been made a proof & logic for all human beings. Falsehood does nither find passage in the front & afore of it nor from it's back side. It has been descended (revelated) by Allah, the All wise, All praise worthy. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 92, P 14)

7. 'Indeed Imamate is the rein of religion & the system of muslims & the righteousness & welfare of the world & the honour & glory of faithfuls. verily, Imamate is the growing & ongoing root of Islam & it's elevated & sublime branch.

8. About the workers & officials of sultan (king, ruler). Becoming a part of the officials of them & providing of help & assistance to them & putting in en devour to fulfill their needs & requirments is the equivalent to infidelity. And looking intentionally & purposely at them is one of the great sins which deems one fit to deserve the hell fire. I .(BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 75, P 374) 

9. Allah may take pity & be mericiful to the servant who resurrects & revives our affair so I said ',And how is it that your affair gets revived?'

(اصول الکاف? ج2 ص241)

11-لا يَتِمُّ عَقلُ امرِئ مُسلِمٍ حَتّ? تَکُونَ فيهِ عَشرُخِصالٍ:أَلخَيرُ مِنهُ مَأمُولٌ وَالشَّرُّمِنهُ مَأمُونٌ،يَستَکثِرُ قَليلَ الخَيرِمِن غَيرِهِ، وَيَستَقِلُّ کَثيرَ الخَيرِ مِن نَفسِهِ، لا يَسأَمُ مِن طَلَبِ الحَوائِج إِلَيهِ، وَلايَملُّ مِن طَلَبِ العِلمِ طُولَ دَهرِهِ، اَلفَقرُ فِي اللهِ اَحَبُّ اِلَيهِ مِنَ الغِن?، وَالذُّلُّ فِي اللهِ اَحَبُّ اِلَيهِ مِنَ العِزِّ في عَدُوَّهِ، وَالخُمُولُ أَشه? اِلَيهِ مِنَ الشُّهرَةِ، ثُمَّ قالَ عليه السلام: اَلعاشِرَةُ،قيلَ لَهُ:ماهِ?َ؟قالَ عليه السلام: لا ير? اَحَداً اِلاّ قالَ:هُوَ خَيرٌ مِنّيِ وَاَتق?.

12- مَن حاسَبَ نَفسَهُ رَبِحَ، وَمَن غَفَلَ عَنها خَسِرَ،وَمَن خافَ أَمِنَ،وَمَن اعتَبَرَ أَبصَرَ وَمَن أبصَرَفَهِمَ، وَمِن فَهِمَ عَلِمَ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص352)

13- وسُئِلَ عَن خِيارِ العِبادِ،فَقالَ(ع): اَلَّذيِنَ اِذا اَحسَنُوا استَبشَرُوا وَاِذا آساء وا استَغفَرُوا: وَاِذَا أُعطُوا شَکَرُوا،وَاِذا بتُلُوا صَبَرُوا، وَاِذا غَضِبُوا عَفوا. (تحف العقول ص445)

10. A faithful will not become (real) faithful till such time he acquires three qualities: A way of Allah's treatment (sunnan Allah) a prophet's rule &. a rule of his saint. However, the Allah's treatment is the conce.iiling of his secret. Allah said 

عالم الغيب… فلا يظهر عل? غيبه احدأ الا من ارتض? من رسول.

The knower of the unseen! So he does not reveal his secret to any. Except to him whome he chooses as an apostle.' More over, the sunnah &. rule of the Prophet(P.B.U.H) is conciliation with the people. So Allah commanded the Prophet(P.B.U.H) to conciliate with the masses saying. 

خذا العفو وامر بالمعروف 

Take to forgiveness &. enjoin good.' Never the less, the rule of his saint is 'Excersicsing patience &. endurance in (the times of) adversities poverty &. apprehensions.' (USOOL E KAFI. VOL 2, P 241) 

11. The intellect of a muslim man does not mature &. complete till he has ten qualities: 1. Benevolence &. benefaction be expected &. hoped from him. 2. And people be secure &. peaceful from his evil doing. 3. He considers the small amount of benefaction from others as abundant &. plentiful. 4. And takes plenty of his own benevolence &. goodness to be a meagre amount of it. 5. He does not get tired &. exhausted by the demands &. requirement asked to be fulfilled. 6. He does not get fatigued &. restless from seeking knowledge for all the length of his life. 7. He loves poverty more than the plentifulness &. affluence, on the course of Allah. B. And he loves disgrace &. abjectness on the way of Allah more than the honour on the course of His enemy. 9. And anonymity is more liked by him than fame. 

Then he(P.B.U.H)said. ',The tenth one &. what is the tenth? The person asked him(P.B.U.H) What is that?' lmam(A.S) reflected ',He does not see a person but that he says 'He is better &. more pious than myself.' (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 78, P 336) 

12. He who takes himself to account gets benefitted &. the one who gets negligent &. careless about himself bears loss. And the one who fears(AlIah) becomes peaceful. And that one who takes lesson becomes most clear sighted &. discerning. And he who becomes most clear sighted understands &. he who understands &. comprehends becomes knowledgeable &. infonned. BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 78, P 352) 

13. A person asked Imam Reza(A.S) ',Who are the best of servants?' 

So he responded ',Those men that when they perfonn good deed they become glad &. when they perform a bad deed they ask the forgiveness (of Allah) &. when they are granted they thank (for it). And while they get afflicted &. grieved they exercise patience. And when they get enraged &. angry they forgive. (overlook. other faults). (TUHf1JL AQOOL, P 445)

15- لِلعُجبِ دَرَجاتٌ: مِنها أَن يُزَيَّنَ لِلعَبدِ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ فَيَراهُ حَسَناً فَيُعجِبُهُ وَيَحسِبُ أَنه يُحسِنُ صُنعاً. وَمِنها أَن يُؤمِنَ العَبدُ بِرَبِّهِ فَيَمُّنَ عَل? اللهِ وَلِلّهِ المِنَّةُُ عَلَيه فيه. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص336)

16- لَو لَم يَخُوِّفِ اللهُ النّاسَ بِجَنَّةٍ وَنارٍ لَکانَ الواجِبُ عَلَيهِم اَن يُطِيعُوهُ وَلا يَعصُوهُ لِتَفضُّلِهِ عَلَيهِم وَاِحسانِهِ اِلَيهِم، وَما بَدَأهُم بِهِ مِن انعامِهِ الذي ما استَحَقُّوهُ. (بحارالانوار ج71 ص174)

15. There are some grades of self conciet. One among them is that the evil acts of a servant gets decorated to him &. he takes them for good deeds &. boasts &. glutts about them &. considers them as nice acts performed by him. And one of them is that a servant acquires faith &. belief upon Allah &. then boasts of a favour conferred upon Allah, where as, Allah has done him a favour in it. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 78, P 336) 

16. Had Allah not frightened people by paradise &. hell even then it would have been obligatory for them to obey Him &. not commit His disobedience because of His favours &. kindnesses upon them. And His granting them the beneficiences to start with, without any of their rights. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 71, P 174) 

17- فَاِن قالَ ظِمَ اُمِرُوابِالصَّوم؟ قيلَ:لِکَي يَعرِفُوا اَلَمَ الجُوع وَالعَطش،فَيَستَدِلُّوا عَل? فَقرِ الاخِرَةِ،وَليَکُونَ الصّائِمُ خاشِعاً،ذَلِيلاً مُستکينا مَأجُوراً مُحتَسِباً عارِفاً صابِراً لِما اَصابَهُ مِنَ الجُوعِ وَالعَطَشِ، فَيَستَوجِبُ الثَّوابَ.مَعَ ما فيهِ مِن الإکِسارِ عَن الشَّهَواتِ،وَلِيَکُونَ ذلِکَ واعِظاً لَهُم في العاجِلِ وَرائِضاً لَهُم عَلَ? اَداءِ کَلَّفَهُم وَدَليلاً في الآجِلِ،وَلِيَعرِفُوا شِدَّةَ مَبلَغِ ذلِکَ عَل? اَهلِ الفَقرِ وَالمَسکَنَةِ في الدُّنيا،فَيُؤدُّوا اِلَيهِم ما اَفتَرَضَ اللهُ تَعالَ? لَهُم فِي اَموالِهِم… (بحارالانوار ج96 ص370)

18- اِنَّما جُعِلَتِ الجَماعَةُ لِئَلاّيَکُونَ الاِخلاصُ وَالتَّوحيِدُ وَالاِسلامُ وَالعِبادَةُ لِلّهِ اِلاّ ظاهِراً مَکشُوفاً مَشهُوراً.لِأَنَّ فِ? اِظهارِهِ حُجَةً عَل? اَهلِ الشَّرقِ وَالغَربِ لِلّهِ وَحدَهُ. وَلِيَکُونَ المُنافِقُ وَالمُستَخِفُّ مُؤَدَّياً لِما اَقَرَّبهِ بِظاهِرِ الاِسلامِ وَالمُراقَبَةِ وَلِتَکُونَ شَهادَاتُ الناسِ بِالاِسلام بَعضِهِم لِبَعضٍ جائِزَةً مُمکِنَهً،مَعَ ما فِيهِ مِنَ المُساعدَةِ عَل? البِرَّوَا التَّقو?، وَالزَّجرِ عَن کَثيرٍ مِن مَعاص? اللهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

17. If it is asked why people were ordered to fast? It would be answered so that they may know the trouble of hunger & thirst & thus get the idea about the poverty (hunger ~ thirst) of the Here after. And the fast keeper may get humbled, belittled, humiliated, destitude, indigent (More over) they may get the reward of Allah & be patient & forebearing in the wake of the (trouble) they face from hunger & thirst with knowing of Allah & sincerity. So fasting will be the cause of their getting reward. More over, this will bring about the control of lustful desires and become the admonitioner in this world. 

And make them submitt to the performance & offering of what has been made obligatory for them & guides them to (the affairs of) Here after. None the less, they by keeping fast do understand & comprehend the severeness & extemity & the amount of hardships & miseries that the poor & afflicted ones have to bear in this world. So they give away the obligatory amounts which Allah has made obligation for them to payout of their wealths. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 96, P 370) 

18. The Jamaet prayers (the collective & assembly prayers) have only been made so that the sincerity, oneness of Allah & the adoring & worshipping of Allah gets obvious, known, apparant & common. Because, the show of it will complete the proof of the oneness of Allah to the people of East & west. And will make the hypocrite & the one who has disrespecting attitude, humble & respectful to something which is the cause of admitting & acknowledging the apparant of Islam & the submission to it. And to the effect that the witnesses of people upon the Islam (being muslim) of each other becomes lawful & possible. Moreover, it becomes the (cause of) cooperation & co. working of them upon good acts & piety & their taking distance from plenty number of evil acts forbidden by Allah. (AYUM AKHBAR AR REZA, VOL 2, P 109, ALHAYAT VOL I. P 233) 

19. Indeed Allah has commanded three things (in Quran) wich are proximated with three others. He ordered the prayers & alms. So the one who offers prayer & does not pay alms, his service is not accepted from him. 

And He ordered His thanks giving with that of the parents. So the one who does not thank his parent has not thanked Allah. And He commanded fear of Allah & connecting with the kinship. So the one who does not connect with the blood relations is not afraid of Allah. (AYAN AKHBAR ER REZA VOL 1, P 258)

26. The secret &: cause of selVices (prayers) is that prayer is the confession of the lordship of Allah &: negating all kinds of partners &: plurality for him. And standing before the omnipotent, with humility, humbleness, &: the confession (of sins) &: begging forgiveness of the previous sins. And placing the face on dust five times a day as (sign of) honouring &: cofession of His greatness. And selVices (prayers) is the cause of remembering Him &: taking distance from the arrogance &: neglectfulness. Prayers become the cause of humility, submisiveness &: humbleness (toward Allah) &: the eagerness, 

keenfulness &: enthusiasm regarding the desire of enhancement of material &: spiritual progress (both in the world &: here after). Moreover, prayers makes a man engaged constantly in the remembrance of Allah both day &: night so that he must not forget his lord, master, Administrator &: creater, since, forgetfulness will become the cause of rebel ion. Man while offering prayer stays in the presence of his lord &: in the state of His remembrance &: this very condition constrains &: stops him from sins and constrains &: refrains him from many kinds of corruptions. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 82, P 261)

And becomes the cause of all the sins including murdering &: accusing falsely chaste woman of aduldtery &: committing adaultery &: lessening of abstinence &: refraining from forbiden deeds (sins). So this is the reason of it that all the drinks which intoxicate are prohibited &: forbiden. Since these drinks too have the same negative results which the wine has got. (WASAIL U SHIA, VOL 17, P 22) 

30- سَبعَةُ أشياءٍ بِغَيرِ سَبعَةِ أَشياءٍ مِنَ الإستِهزاءِ:مَنِ استَغفَرَ بِلِسانِهِ وَلَم يَندَم بِقَلبِهِ فَقَدِ استَهزَأ بِنَفسِهِ. وَمَن سَألَ اللهَ التّوفيقَ وَلَم يَجتَهِد فَقَدِ استَهزَأ بِنَفسِهِ. وَمَنِ استَحزَمَ وَلَم يَحذَر فَقَدِ استَهزَأ بِنَفسِهِ.وَمَن سَأَلَ اللهَ الجَنَّةَ وَلَم يَصبِر عَلَ? الشّدائِدِ فَقَدِ استَهزَأ بِنَفسِهِ. وَمَن تَعَوَّذَ بِاللهِ مِن النّارِ وَلَم يَترُک شَهَواتِ الدُّنيا فَقَدِ استَهزَأ بِنَفسِهِ. وَمَن ذَکَرَ اللهَ وَلَم يَستَبِق إِل? لِقائِهِ فَقَدِ استَهزَأَ بِنَفسِهِ.

And the one who asks paradise from Allah&does not be patient over the hardships&calamities has made a fun of himself. And the man who ask the refuge of Allah from hell fire&does not abondon the lusts of the world has made ajoke with him self. And the one who exercises remembrance of Allah&does not get prepared&set his foot ahead towards meeting HIM has cut a joke with himself.

"FORlY DISCOURSES" FROM IMAM MEHDI(A.S)

1. Indeed the devine destinies will never be over whelmed &. overcome &. the devine will does never get rejected &. nothing can supercede the devine grace.(AL BIHAR, VOL 53, P 191) 

2. Allah has not created the creations as futile &. in vain. &. has not let them go aimless &. purposeless. (BIHAR ULANWAR VOL 53, P 194) 

3. Allah raised Mohammed(P.B.U.H) as beneficience for the worlds &. completed His favours with him &. ended the (series of) Apostles by him. And sent him toward all the people (for their guidance). (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 53, P 194) 

4.He (S.W.T) says "AUF LAM MEEM (الم) Do men think that they will be left alone on saying we believe, &. not tried?" 

So he says: ',How people have undergone test &. trial &. how do they wonder arround In astonishment &. Ibewilderment sometime to the left &. some times to the right. They have been detached from their religion or involved in doubts (ambiguity) or have become the enemy of the right. Or they are ignorant of the true traditions &. correct prophecies &. informations. Or they intentionally forget what they know. Do know it that the earth never gets Jempty &. void of authority (argument) of Allah (the Prophet 
or Imam) whether he is evident &. apparant or hidden &. concealed (from the eyes) (Chapter: decree from the master (Imam) of the age.) (KAMAL UDDIN VOL 2, P 511)

7- وَاَمَّا اَلحَوادِثُ الواقِعَةُ فَارجِعُوا فيها اِل? رُواةِ حَدِيثِنا، فاِنَّهُم حُجَّتي عَلَيکُم،وَاَنَا حُجَّةُ اللهِ عَلَيهِم. (کمال الدطن ج2ص484)

5. Have you not heard the word of Allah that ",0 believers obey Allah &. the Prophet(P.B.U.H) &. those In authority from amoung you". Has Allah ordained anything except what is stable &. constant up to the day of resurrecion? Do you not see that Allah made shelters for you to seek refuge &. flags to get guided right from the age of Adam(A.S) to the previous Imam (ie Imam Hassan Askari(A.S). 

When ever a flagd isappeared another flag appeared. And when one star disappeard another star rose. So when Allah turned his soul back toward Himself you presumed that Allah disconnected the medium between Himself &. His creations. Nay, never at all has or would this happen till the dooms day, &. the order of Allah gets manifested, where as they the (infidels) dislike it. (KAMAL UDDIN. VOL 2, P 487) 

6. The past (Imam Hassan Askari) crossed over the way of his fore fathers with great prosperity, &. success, &. disappeared from the sights. He followed the conduct of his ancestors with great exactness &. similarity and led his life without any difference. His testament &. knowledge. &. the one who is his successor &. follows the same programme &. way exists among us. And nobody ever disputes his place &. office with us except the cruel sinner.

And the one except us who proclaims the post of Imamate is an infidel. And if it was not that Allah's order is not to be subdued and His secrets are not to be revealed I would have manifested to you my right in a way that your minds would have glowed &. your doubts would have cast off but only that which Allah desires takes place. And there is a fixed time for everything therefore, be pious &. be obedient to us. (ALBIHAR. VOL 53, P 179)

11- "وَليَعلَمُوا اَنَّ الحَقَّ مَعَنا وفينا لا يَقُولُ ذلِکَ سِوانااِلاّ کَذّابٌ مُفتَرٍ وَلا يَدَّعِيهِ غَيرُنا اِلاّ ضالٌّ غَوِ?ٌّ… " (کمال الدين ج2 ص511)

12- اِله? بِحَقَّ مَن ناجاکَ ،وَبِحَقَّ مَن دَعاکَ ف?ِ البَحرِ وَالبَرَّ، صَلِّ عَل? مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ،وَتَفَضَّل عَل? فُقَراءِ المُؤمِنينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ بِالغِن? وَالسَّعَةِ، وَعَل? مَرضَ? المُؤمِنِينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ بِالشِّفاءِ وَالصَّحَّةِ وَالرّاحَةِ، وَعَل? أَحياءِ المُؤمِنِينَ وَالمُؤمِناتَ بِاللُّطفِ وَالکِرامَةِ،وَعَل? أَمواتِ المُؤمِنينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ بِالمَغفِرَةِ وَالرَّحمَةِ، وَعَل? غُرَباءِ المُؤمِنِينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ بِالرَّدِّ اِل? اَوطانِهِم سالِمِينَ غانِمِينَ،بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ اَجمَعِينَ.
