Never be suspicious about what you hear your believing brothers......

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "May God have Mercy upon those who make us loved by the people, and not hated by them. I swear by God that if they quote our good sayings for others, they will become dearer and no one can ascribe anything to them." 

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: "Control your behavior through good deeds and try to guide yourself towards the noblest characteristics. Try to get accustomed to patience, and persevere to self-sacrifice even in cases that your great efforts are little appreciated. Do not be picky with people and try to maintain your nobility by forgiving minor faults. Try to save a weak person who is expecting you to help him if you can, or seek help from others using your position and social status if you cannot save him yourself. Do not try to discover the secrets of the people since the people will blame you. Do not lie since lying is the worst habit. It is the lowest form of behavior. It is similar to swearing. It is a form of inferiority. Be noble, and forgive minor issues, and do not investigate them further." In another tradition we read: "Forgive and do not investigate minor issues." 

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "Love your Muslim brothers, and like for them what you like for yourself. Ask them for help if you need anything, and fulfill their needs if they ever ask you for help. Do not hide from them any good things, as they are your supporters. When they are not present, support them in their absence until they returns, then go to see them when they return.Honor them since you are from them and they are from you. If they blame you, do not abandon them, and let them express what bothers them. Praise God when they receives some good things, and help and support them when they suffer from a calamity." 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that his noble grandfather (a.s) quoted on the 

authority of Imam Ali (a.s) who quoted on the authority of the Prophet of God (a.s): "The most pious person is the one with the purest heart and the one who wishes all the best." 

Imam Ali (a.s) said: "Never be suspicious about what you hear your believing brothers say when you can find a way to justify it." 

Your Lord knoweth best what is in your hearts........

In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that regarding God's statement: "Your Lord knoweth best what is in your hearts: if you do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence). "[The Holy Quran: Bani Israil 17:25]

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "They are the ones who worship a lot and repent often." 

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: "Whenever one repents and God the Almighty accepts his repentance, God will employ his body parts to cover up his sins. God will employ the places where the sins were committed to hide the sins, and will make the guardian angels who record the sins forget them." 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of his grandfather (a.s) on the 

authority of God's Prophet (a.s): "Whenever you repent, God the Almighty will be pleased just as you get happy when you find something that you have lost." 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: God the Almighty has granted those who repent three things each one of which could save all that lives on the Heavens and on the Earth, if it were granted to them: 

(1) God the Almighty said: "For Your Lord knoweth best what is in your heartsand He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean. "[The Holy Quran: Baqara 2:222]; Therefore God will not punish whomever He loves. 

(2) God the Almighty said: "Those who sustain the Throne (of God) and those around it sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe; "Our Lord! Thy Reach is over all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn in repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire! "And grant, our Lord, that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, full of Wisdom. And preserve them from (all) ills, and any whom (Thou) dost preserve from ills that day, on them will Thou have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly (for them) the Highest Achievement." [The Holy Quran: Mu-min 40:7-9]. 

(3) God the Almighty said: "Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication, and any that does this (not only) meets punishment (but) the Penalty on the Judgment Day will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy, unless he repents, believes and works righteous deeds, for God will change the evil of such persons into good, and God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." [The Holy Quran: Furqan 25:68-69] 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): "God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one year before he dies." Then he said: "One year is too long. God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one month before he dies." Then he added: "One month is too long. God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one week before he dies. "Then he said: "One week 

is too long. God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one day before he dies." Then he said: "One day is too long. God will accept the repentance of whoever repents before he faces death." 

There is a veil between any two believing brothers. God will remove this veil whenever one insults the other...................

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Love for your Muslim brother the same things that you love for yourself. Dislike for him what you dislike for yourself. Ask him for help whenever you need any help, and help him whenever he asks you for help. Do not hesitate to do anything that you can do for him. Also he should not hesitate to help you whenever he can. Be his supporter since he is your supporter. 

Guard his belongings when he goes away, and go to visit him when he returns. Then respect and honor him since you belong to each other. Thank God if he receives something that is good, and help him if he gets into trouble. If someone insults his believing brother, their spiritual friendship will end, and your faith will disappear just as salt dissolves in water and disappears." 

Zurareh narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "The closest thing to becoming an infidel is to remember your believing brother's faults with the intention of blaming him in the future." 

Abi Basir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "There is a veil between any two believing brothers. God will remove this veil whenever one insults the other. The one who insults the other will lose his faith just as salt dissolves in water." 

Al-Fazl ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whenever you feel suspicious about your believing brother know that one of you has done something bad." 

A believer should advise his believing brothers............................

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Deliver my greetings to my friends and assure them that I guarantee Heaven for all of them except for the following people: 

1- alcoholics

2-gamblers, 

3- people who reject the believers, 

4- people who are haughty with believers

5- people who block the believers' needs 

6- people who do not help fulfill the needs of a believer who asks them       for help 

7- people who do not marry off their daughter to a believer who comes        to propose to marry her.

  

Then Abdulmalik said: "I swear by God that I have helped any of the true friends of the Holy Household who has come to me for help." Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Yes, I knew you are telling the truth. You are an honest man and God has tested your heart for your faith and submission." 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "

- Al-Fazl ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked Issac: "Have you ever 

invited your religious brothers to your house to eat and drink and stay overnight?" He 

said yes. Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) added: "Know that once they leave, they will cause 

an increase in your blessings." Issac said: "How come? How can my blessings be 

increased if they come to my house, eat food and rest, and leave my house?" The 

Imam (a.s) said: "Yes. It is true, but they eat their own share of daily bread, but take 

out the sins of you and your family members with themselves when they leave." 

Abi Ubaydeh al-Haz'zae narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "A believer should 

advise his believing brothers." 

Ibrahim ibn Uthman narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Any believer who 

does not make an effort to help fulfill his religious brother's needs and does not 

advise him has committed treason against God and His Prophet." 

Yunus ibn Zeyban narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Stay as far away as 

you can from any man who does not guard his prayers and does not help or 

sympathize with his religious brothers since these acts are prescribed by God." 

."

Al-Fazl ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked Issac: "Have you ever invited your religious brothers to your house to eat and drink and stay overnight?" He said yes. Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) added: "Know that once they leave, they will cause an increase in your blessings." Issac said: "How come? How can my blessings be increased if they come to my house, eat food and rest, and leave my house?" The Imam (a.s) said: "Yes. It is true, but they eat their own share of daily bread, but take out the sins of you and your family members with themselves when they leave." 

Abi Ubaydeh al-Haz'zae narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "A believer should advise his believing brothers."

 

Ibrahim ibn Uthman narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Any believer who does not make an effort to help fulfill his religious brother's needs and does not advise him has committed treason against God and His Prophet." 

Yunus ibn Zeyban narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Stay as far away as you can from any man who does not guard his prayers and does not help or sympathize with his religious brothers since these acts are prescribed by God." 

One who is contented with divine destiny is the one most aware of God.......

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “One who is contented with divine destiny is the one most aware of God.”   Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “The most important aspect of obedience to God is being content with and being patient with what God has decreed whether we like it or not. And when one is content with what God has decreed for him, whether he likes it or not, that which is decreed is best for him.”   Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God has placed some good in whatever He has decreed for a believer with which the believer is content.”  Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of the Prophet of God (a.s) that God the Almighty said: “I swear by My Majesty and My Honor that I have not created any creature dearer to Me than a believer. That is why I put My own name (believer) on him. He should be content with My action if I deprive him of whatever lies between the East and the west, or if I bestow on him whatever exists between the East and the West. He should be patient with any catastrophes that I descend upon him, and  he should be grateful for My blessings. O' Muhammad! Please record his name among the honest ones near Me.”  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said that Imam Hassan Mujtaba (a.s) met Abdullah ibn Ja'far and told him: “O' Abdullah! How can one be a believer if he is not content with what God has destined for him; and considers his position to be low even though God has destined it for him. I guarantee that the supplications of those who think only of God's pleasure will be accepted.”  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Comfort and convenience lie in contentment and certitude, and sorrow and sadness lie in doubt and anger.”  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Religious knowledge guides us towards love for God. 30 God will honor those who were chosen by God for their contentment, and God will debase those who make Him angry. Contentment and anger are two of God's creatures, and He will increase which ever He pleases.

The worth of feeding one of my followers is more than feeding a horizon-full of people..........

God's Prophet (a.s) said: "The people will be resurrected thirstier, hungrier and more naked than when they lived. God will give  those who have given any clothing to believers heavenly robes, and will feed those who have fed any believers with heavenly blessings, and will give anyone who has given believers anything to drink heavenly drinks."  Imam Baqir (a.s) asked Hanan ibn Sodir whether he frees a slave each month. He replied no. He asked him if he frees a slave each year. He replied no. Then he praised God and asked him if he has ever taken any of his religious brothers home and fed them. He said that by God the reward of this deed is greater than freeing one slave from the  descendants of Isma'il."  Abi al-Miqdam narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) told Abi al-Miqdam: "The worth of feeding one of my followers is more than feeding a horizon-full of people." Abi alMiqdam asked: "How many people is that?" He replied: "One hundred thousand."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): "Whoever gives a scary look to a believers will receive a scary look from God on the Resurrection Day when there is no shade but God's."  Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whoever visits an ill Muslim will be submerged in a sea of divine Mercy, and whoever sits with that ill man will be accompanied by seventy thousand angels on his way back home. They will all say: "You have been purified and Heaven will be enjoyable for you."  Safvan al-Jam'mal narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "If a believer is asked by another believer to help fulfill one of his vital needs, and he refuses to do so though he is able to directly or indirectly fulfill his needs, he will be resurrected with his hands tied to his neck and has to wait until God finishes the reckoning of all His creatures accounts

Do not die and depart from this world until you have formed a good opinion about God............

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted the following from Prophet David (a.s): “O' God! One who does not have a good opinion about You has no faith in You even if he has gotten to know you.” 

In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that the Prophet of God (a.s) said:

“Do not die and depart from this world until you have formed a good opinion about God, since this is the price for Heaven.” 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Two men who were imprisoned were freed during the time of the Prophet Moses (a.s). One of them was large and chubby, and the other one was very thin. Moses asked the chubby man the reason for his being fat. He replied: “From having a good opinion about God.” Then he asked the other man the reason for being so skinny. He replied: “From fearing God.” Then Moses (a.s) raised 

his hands towards the sky and asked God to inform him which of the two were nobler. God revealed to him that the one who had a good opinion about God was nobler.
