Feb 13, '13 11:40 AM for everyone

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "O' Abi Samet! Know that God has created our followers from a limited amount of earth, and none will be added to nor subtracted from our number until the Resurrection Day.  If anyone of our Shiites goes to one of the places of worship anywhere in the world and walks there or prays there, that place of worship will be more superior to others. That place of worship will claim that one of the followers of the Holy Household of Muhammad has visited it." Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "All our followers will be in Heaven, whether they are good or bad. Their ranks shall be determined according to their deeds after they get there." Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whenever one of our followers goes out and returns home, his record of deeds will be filled with positive marks for all the insults he has heard, even if he does not do any good deeds when he is out of the house." Imam Sajjad (a.s) said: "No one is one of our true followers unless he is either a sincere lover of truth or a martyr." Zayd asked him: "How is this possible when they die in their beds." Imam Sajjad (a.s) replied: "Have you not read God's book:  "And those who believe in God and His apostles they are the sincere (lovers of truth), and the Witnesses (who testify), in the eyes of their Lord." [The Holy Quran: Hadid 57:19] Then Zayd said: "You are right. May I be your devoted servant! I have not seen this verse." Then Imam Sajjad (a.s) continued: "My father Hussein (a.s) said: "If martyrdom was limited to just getting killed by a sword, God would not have used the phrase "the witnesses (who testify)." Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "When God wanted to reveal the following verses of the Quran, they stayed in the heavens and said: "O' God! Do you want to send us to those who are in error and sin?" God then willed them to descend and said: "I swear by My Honor and Majesty that whoever of the followers of the members of the Household of Muhammad recites these.  Abi al-Samet al-Khulany narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "O' Abi Samet! Know that God has created our followers from a limited amount of earth, and none will be added to nor subtracted from our number until the Resurrection Day. If anyone of our Shiites goes to one of the places of worship anywhere in the world and walks there or prays there, that place of worship will be more superior to others. That place of worship will claim that one of the followers of the Holy Household of Muhammad has visited it." 440- Sodir al-Seyr narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "All our followers will be in Heaven, whether they are good or bad. Their ranks shall be determined according to their deeds after they get there." 441- Ja'far ibn Rabie ibn Madrak narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whenever one of our followers goes out and returns home, his record of deeds will be filled with positive marks for all the insults he has heard, even if he does not do any good deeds when he is out of the house." 442- Zayd ibn Argham narrated that Imam Sajjad (a.s) said: "No one is one of our true followers unless he is either a sincere lover of truth or a martyr." Zayd asked him: "How is this possible when they die in their beds." Imam Sajjad (a.s) replied: "Have you not read God's book: "And those who believe in God and His apostles they are the sincere (lovers of truth), and the Witnesses (who testify), in the eyes of their Lord." [The Holy Quran: Hadid 57:19] Then Zayd said: "You are right. May I be your devoted servant! I have not seen this verse." Then Imam Sajjad (a.s) continued: "My father Hussein (a.s) said: "If martyrdom was limited to just getting killed by a sword, God would not have used the phrase "the witnesses (who testify)." 443- Abdulah ibn San'an narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "When God wanted to reveal the following verses of the Quran, they stayed in the heavens and said: "O' God! Do you want to send us to those who are in error and sin?" God then willed them to descend and said: "I swear by My Honor and Majesty that whoever of the followers of the members of the Household of Muhammad recites these verses after each prayer, I shall certainly make him reside in Heaven with all the things there. I will kindly look upon him seventy times each day, and at each look I will fulfill seventy of his needs, the smallest of them being the forgiveness of his sins. The verses are:  "And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom." [The Holy Quran: Zukhruf 43:4] "God! There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting, the Eternal. No slumber can seize Him, nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory) [The Holy Quran: Baqara 2:255] "There is no god but He: that is the witness of God, his angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise." [The Holy Quran: Al-i-Imran 3:18] "Say: "O' God! Lord of Power (and Rule), Thou givest Power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honor whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all Good. Verily, over all things thou hast power." [The Holy Quran: Al-i-Imran 3:26]
