Beautify Us

Solayman bin Mahran, said:

I went to jaafar bin Mohammad (A.s.) and I found a group of Shia with him. I heard him say:

O Shia! You should beautify us (in the eyes of people) and not disgrace us (with your actions). Speak kindly to people, hold your tongues,and keep it (your tongues) from meddling and saying offensive words.

(Ref: Amaali of Sadouq 327, Amaali of Tousi 2:55)

Ride When I Ride

Faiz bin Mihtar, from his father, from Mohammad bin Ali Al-Baqir (A.s.), from his father (4^th Imam (A.s.), from his grandfather (3^rd Imam(a.s.)) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (S.w.t.) was riding (a horse/mule) and Ali bin Abi Taleb (A.s.) was walking beside him.

The Prophet (S.a.w.w.) said to him, “O Ali (A.s.)! Either ride or go back because Allah (S.w.t.) has ordered that you should ride when I ride, walk when I walk, and sit when I sit except when there is a rule from among the rules of Allah (S.w.t.) that needs to be obeyed.

Allah (S.w.t.) has not honoured me with anything without honouring you with something similar.

He chose prophethood for me and He assigned you as my successor, so you will carry out the rules of the prophethood and accomplish its most difficult tasks.

I swear to the One who truly sent me as a prophet that those who deny you do not believe in me. And those who reject you hae not testified in me, and those who disbelieve in you do not believe in Allah (S.w.t.).

Your grace is from my grace, andmy grace is a grace for y ou, And that is why Allah (S.w.t.) says, “Say: ‘In the grace of Allah (S.w.t.) and in His mercy-in that let them rejoice, it is better than all that they amass” (10:58)

“Grace of Allah (S.w.t.)” (in this verse) is my prophethood. “His mercy” is the Wilayat of Ali bin Abi Taleb (A.s.) .”In that” refers to my prophethood and Ali (A.s.)’s Wilayat. “Let them rejoice” refers to (the rejoicing of) the Shia. “It is better than all that they amass” refers to the enemies of the Shia. And “all that they amass” refers to wealth, children, and (pleasures of this life.

O Ali (A.s.)! I swear to Allah (S.w.t.) that you were not created except to worship Allah (S.w.t.), to make the religion of Allah (S.w.t.) known, and to make the path of guidance clear for those who seek it.

Those who deviate from you have gone astray, and those who are not guided to you and to your Wilayat cannot be guided to Allah (S.w.t.).

That is why Allah (S.w.t.) says, “Verily, I forgive, again and again, whosoever repents, beliees, and does good, and then he is guided” (20:82). “Guided” refers to your Wilayat.

O Ali (A.s.)! Allah (S.w.t.) has ordered me to announce your rights as religious obligations on people just like my rights.

(Honouring) your rights is a religious obligation on everyone who beleves in me. If it had not beenfor you, the party of Allah (S.w.t.) whold not have been known. It is though you that the enemies of Allah (S.w.t.) are known. Those who meet Allah (S.w.t.) without your Wilayat meet Allah (S.w.t.) without anything.

Allah (S.w.t.) reveled to me, “(O Mohammad) Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord” (5:67).

 O Ali (A.s.)!This referes to your Wilayat.“And if you do not do it, then, (it will be as if) you have not delievered His message (at all)” (5:67). If I had not announced the order of Allah (S.w.t.) about your Wilayat, the value of allof my deeds would have been nullified.

The value of the deeds of those who meet Allah (S.w.t.) without your Wilayat will be nullified.

I do not say anything excdpt Allah (S.w.t.)’s words, and what I said about you was sent down from Allah (S.w.t.) .

(Ref: Amaali of Sadouq 400, Bihar Al-Anwar 38:105)

The Successful Ones

Ali bin Abi Taleb (A.s.) from Salman Allah (S.w.t.)-Faresi, who said:

O Abal Hasan (A.s.) ! Almost every time I was with the Messenger of Allah (S.w.t.) and we would see you coming towards us, the Messenger of Allah (S.w.t.) would say to me, “) Salman! Ali (A.s.) and his party are the successful ones on the Day Of Judgement.

(Ref: Aamali of Sadouq 397. Bihar Al Anwar 40:7)

A Piece Of My Flesh

Saeed bin Musayeb, from Ibn Abbas, who said:

The Messenger of Allah (S.w.t.) was with Ali (A.s.), Fatema (S.a.) Hasan (A.s.), and Hussain (A.s.) one day when he said:

O Allah (S.w.t.)!you know that they are my family and they are the most honorable people in my eyes. O Allah (S.w.t.)! Love those who love them, and hate those who hate them. Befriend their friends, antagonize those who antagonize them, and support those who support them. O Allah (S.w.t.) ! Purify them from any uncleaniness; make them infallible and support them with the Holy Spirit.

Then the Prophet (S.a.w.w.) said:

O Ali (A.s.)! You are the Imam of my nation, you are my caliph on my nation after me, and you will lead the believers to Paradise.

It is as if I can see my daughter, Fatema (S.a.), on the Day Of Judgement. She will be brought on a platform made of light. There will be seventy thousand angels to her right, seventy thousand angels to her left, seventy thousand angels in front of her, and seventy thousand angels behind her, and she will be leading the (female) believers of my nation to paradise.

Every woman who prays five times a day, fasts in the month of Ramadhan, goes to Hajj, prays and Zakaat, obeys her husband, and accepts the Wilayat of Ali (A.s.) after me will enter Paradise with the intercession of my daughter (S.a.).

Fatema (S.a.)  is the Master of All of the Worlds’ Women.

People asked, Is she the master of the women of her time?”

The Prophet (S.a.w.w.) replied:

Maryam was the master of the women of her time. My daughter, Fatema (S.a.), is the Master of All of the Worlds’ Women from the first to the last. Every time she stands in her mihrab for prayers, seventy thousand high-ranked angels come and say Salaam to her.

The angels call out to her, O Fatema (S.a.)! “Verily, Allah (S.w.t.) has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above all the womens' of the worlds” (3:42), which is the same way the angels used to call Maryam.

The Prophet (S.a.w.w.) looked at Ali (A.s.) and said:

O Ali (A.s.)! Fatema (S.a.) is a piece of my flesh, she is the light of my eyes, and she is the apple of my heart. That which saddens her saddens me, and that which pleases her please me.

She is the first one (from my family) who will join me, so treat her with kindness after me.

As for Hasan (A.s.), and Husain (A.s.), they are my sons and my flowers. They are the Masters of the Youth of Paradise, so treat them like you would tret your eyes and ears.

Then the Prophet (S.a.w.w.) raised hands towards the sky and said:

O Allah (S.w.t.)! I testify that I love those who love them. I hate those who hate them. I am at peace with those who are at peace with them. I fight those who fight them. I am the enemy of their enemies, and I am the friend of their friends.
