حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ مُوسَی بْنِ بَابَوَیْهِ الْقُمِّیُّ الْفَقِیهُ مُصَنِّفُ هَذَا الْکِتَابِ رَضِیَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبِی (ra) قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عِیسَی بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِنْ وُلْدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ الْخُدْرِیِّ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ (sw) قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ لِمُوسَی بْنِ عِمْرَانَ یَا مُوسَی لَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَ عَامِرِیهِنَّ عِنْدِی وَ الْأَرَضِینَ السَّبْعَ فِی كِفَّةٍ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فِی كِفَّةٍ مَالَتْ بِهِنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ.

1. Muhammad bin Ali bin al-Husayn bin Musa bin Babawayh al-Qummi, the scholar and compiler of this book (ra) said: my father (ra) informed me, he said that Sa'd bin Abdullah said, Ahmad bin Hilal said, from Ahmad bin Salih, from 'Isa bin Abdullah from the descendance of Umar bin Ali, from his father, from Abi Sa'eed al-Khudri, from The Prophet (sw) who said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime told Musa Ibn Imran: O Musa, if the heavens and their inhabitants and the seven Earths were in one side of the scale, and 'Laa ilaaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah) was in the other, 'Laa ilaaha illallah' would outweigh them all."

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَخِیهِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاهَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو الزُّبَیْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: الْمُوجِبَتَانِ قَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ یَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّهَ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ یُشْرِکُ بِاللَّهِ دَخَلَ النَّارَ.

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Sayf from his brother al-Hassan from his brother Ali from his father who said it was narrated to me by al-Hajjaj b. Artah who said it was narrated to me by Abu al-Zubayr from Jabir b. Abdillah from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: Two things are causes of two others. One who dies testifying that there is no God except Allah shall enter Paradise and one who dies associating someone or something with Allah shall enter Fire (of Hell).

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاکُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَإِنَّهَا تَهْدِمُ الذُّنُوبَ فَقَالُوا یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ قَالَ فِی صِحَّتِهِ فَقَالَ ذَاکَ أَهْدَمُ وَ أَهْدَمُ إِنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أُنْسٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ فِی حَیَاتِهِ وَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَ حِینَ یُبْعَثُ.

3. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: Prompt your departed ones to say: ‘There is no god except Allah’ for it erases the sins. So they asked: O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.), what if one recites this when one is healthy (alive)? The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “This (utterance) destroys the sins and finishes them off in any condition. Indeed “There is no God except Allah” is a friend and helper of man in life in death and in raising after death. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) also said: Jibraeel said: O Muhammad! You shall see them when they are raised with shining countenances those who used to chant: There is no God except Allah and Allah is the greatest.” And those shall be black faced who used to say: “Woe be to you, you are ruined!”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ جُمَیْعٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: ثَمَنُ الْجَنَّهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ.

4. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sayf from his father from ’Amru b. Jamee’ who raised it to The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: The price of Paradise is Laa ilaaha illallaah (there is no God except Allah).

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْوَلِیدِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ غُرِسَتْ لَهُ شَجَرَهٌ فِی الْجَنَّهِ مِنْ یَاقُوتَهٍ حَمْرَاءَ مَنْبِتُهَا فِی مِسْکٍ أَبْیَضَ أَحْلَی مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَ أَشَدَّ بَیَاضاً مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَ أَطْیَبَ رِیحاً مِنَ الْمِسْکِ فِیهَا ثِمَارٌ أَمْثَالُ أَثْدَاءِ الْأَبْکَارِ تَفْلِقُ عَنْ سَبْعِینَ حُلَّهً.

5. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: One who says ‘There is no god except Allah,’ for him a tree of rubies is planted in Paradise which is sweeter than honey, whiter than snow and more fragrant than Musk. And its fruits are like breasts of virgins which are prominent even from beneath seventy veils..

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی وَ إِبْرَاهِیمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ وَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیُّ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ الْجُعْفِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَیْسَ شَیْ ءٌ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ شَیْ ءٌ یَعْدِلُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّهُ لَا یَعْدِلُهُ شَیْ ءٌ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا یَعْدِلُهَا شَیْ ءٌ وَ دَمْعَهٌ مِنْ خَوْفِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَیْسَ لَهَا مِثَالٌ فَإِنْ سَالَتْ عَلَی وَجْهِهِ لَمْ یَرْهَقْهُ قَتَرٌ وَ لا ذِلَّهٌ بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً.

6. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: There is nothing which is not equal in weight to something else. Except for Allah, as nothing is equal to Him and nothing is equal to ‘There is no god except Allah’ also. And there is no measure for tears that flow in fear of Allah. Even if a single tear flows on the face of a person, he or she would never be helpless and humiliated.

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی الطُّفَیْلِ عَنْ عَلِیٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَیْهِ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ یَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِلَّا صَعِدَتْ تَخْرِقُ کُلَّ سَقْفٍ لَا تَمُرُّ بِشَیْ ءٍ مِنْ سَیِّئَاتِهِ إِلَّا طَلَسَتْهَا حَتَّی تَنْتَهِیَ إِلَی مِثْلِهَا مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ فَتَقِفَ.

7. And from the previous chain from Jabir from Abi al-Tufayl from Ali (a.s.) who said: ‘There is no God except Allah’ and his or her grades are not elevated. He or she will continue to scale all heights. None of his (or her) sins shall be questioned. And for each of his sins equal number of good deeds would be given and he would be satisfied.

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع یَقُولُ مَا مِنْ شَیْ ءٍ أَعْظَمَ ثَوَاباً مِنْ شَهَادَهِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی لَا یَعْدِلُهُ شَیْ ءٌ وَ لَا یَشْرَکُهُ فِی الْأَمْرِ أَحَدٌ.

8. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says: There is nothing more rewarding than the testimony of ‘There is no God except Allah’ because Allah has not appointed anything equal to it and there is no partner of Allah in this matter.

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْعِجْلِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَطِیَّهُ الْعَوْفِیُّ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ الْخُدْرِیِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا قُلْتُ وَ لَا قَالَ الْقَائِلُونَ قَبْلِی مِثْلَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ.

9. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) says: Till date, I and those who preceded me never said anything equal to ‘There is no God except Allah’.

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَیْرُ الْعِبَادَهِ قَوْلُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ.

10. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his forefathers that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: (Saying) ‘There is no God except Allah’ is the best worship act.

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْعِجْلِیُّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِلَّا مَحَتْ مَا فِی صَحِیفَتِهِ مِنْ سَیِّئَاتٍ حَتَّی تَنْتَهِیَ إِلَی مِثْلِهَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتٍ.

11. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) says: Sins are erased from the scroll of deeds of every believer who says: ‘There is no God except Allah’ and good deeds equal to the number of sins are bestowed on him.

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عُبَیْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَوْلُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثَمَنُ الْجَنَّهِ.

12. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The statement: Laa ilaaha illallaah is equal to the cost of Paradise.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ یَقْطِینٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ جَمِیعاً عَنْ رِبْعِیٍّ عَنْ فُضَیْلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ أَکْثِرُوا مِنَ التَّهْلِیلِ وَ التَّکْبِیرِ فَإِنَّهُ لَیْسَ شَیْ ءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَی اللَّهِ مِنَ التَّکْبِیرِ وَ التَّهْلِیلِ.

13. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “Recite Tahleel (Laa ilaaha illallaah) and takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) often because Allah likes nothing more than Takbeer and Tahleel.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ کَانَ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمَ عَمَلًا إِلَّا مَنْ زَادَ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The deed of one who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah a hundred times is better than all except one who recites it more than a hundred times.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ غَانِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ حِینَ یَأْوِی إِلَی فِرَاشِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ بَنَی اللَّهُ لَهُ بَیْتاً فِی الْجَنَّهِ وَ مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ حِینَ یَأْوِی إِلَی فِرَاشِهِ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ تَحَاتَّتْ ذُنُوبُهُ کَمَا یَسْقُطُ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ.

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Sayf from Salim b. Ghanim from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Allah builds a house in Paradise for one who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah a hundred times before going to bed. And the sins of one who recites Astaghfirullah a hundred times before going to bed are destroyed in the same way as dry leaves fall off from a tree.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ الْجُعْفِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: جَاءَ جَبْرَئِیلُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ یَا مُحَمَّدُ طُوبَی لِمَنْ قَالَ مِنْ أُمَّتِکَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad and Ibrahim b. Hashim and al-Hassan b. Ali al-Kufi from al-Hussain b. Sayf from his brother Ali from his father from ’Amru b. Shimr from Jabir b. Yazid al-Ju’fi from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: Jibrail (a.s.) came to the Messenger of Allah (sawa) and said: ‘If a person of your Ummah recites Laa ilaaha illallaah Wah’dahu Wah’dahu Wah’dahu he will have Tooba (good fortune).”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصاً دَخَلَ الْجَنَّهَ وَ إِخْلَاصُهُ بِهَا أَنْ یَحْجُزَهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَمَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Muhammad b. Hamran from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A person who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah with pure intention will enter Paradise and reciting Laa ilaaha illallaah with pure intention implies that he keeps away from that, which Allah has prohibited for him.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَمِیلَهَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَتَانِی جَبْرَئِیلُ ع بَیْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَهِ فَقَالَ یَا مُحَمَّدُ طُوبَی لِمَنْ قَالَ مِنْ أُمَّتِکَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصاً.

2. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s) says, “Jibraeel (a.s.) came to me while I was between Safa and Marwa and said, ‘Whoever from your Ummah recites Laa ilaaha illallaah with pure intention will go to Paradise’.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ وَ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ کُلِّهِمْ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ مُهَاجِرِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ زَیْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصاً دَخَلَ الْجَنَّهَ وَ إِخْلَاصُهُ بِهَا أَنْ یَحْجُزَهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَمَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ.

3. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad and al-Hassan b. Ali al-Kufi and Ibrahim b. Hashimall of themfrom al-Hussain b. Sayf from Sulayman b. Umar from Muhajir b. al-Hassan from Zayd b. Arqam from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “A person who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah with pure intention will enter Paradise. And reciting it with pure intention implies that he keeps away from what has been prohibited by Allah.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی زَیْدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَیْشٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُذَیْفَهَ یَقُولُ لَا یَزَالُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تَرُدُّ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ عَنِ الْعِبَادِ مَا کَانُوا لَا یُبَالُونَ مَا انْتَقَصَ مِنْ دُنْیَاهُمْ إِذَا سَلِمَ دِینُهُمْ فَإِذَا کَانُوا لَا یُبَالُونَ مَا انْتَقَصَ مِنْ دِینِهِمْ إِذَا سَلِمَتْ دُنْیَاهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالُوهَا رُدَّتْ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ قِیلَ کَذَبْتُمْ وَ لَسْتُمْ بِهَا صَادِقِینَ.

4. Huzaifa says that Allah is never angry on one who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah properly. However, this is applicable till he sacrifices this world for the sake of religion. If religion is sacrificed for the sake of this world he will be told that you have turned towards the world. It will be further said that they are liars and they do not speak the truth.

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ یَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ یَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَیَفْرُغُ حَتَّی تَنَاثَرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَیْهِ کَمَا تَنَاثَرَ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ تَحْتَهَا.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, ‘A person who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah loudly is free. He crushes his sins with his feet and destroys them in the same way as dry leaves fall off from a tree’.”

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hussain b. Sayf from Sulayman b. Umar who said it was narrated to me by ’Imran b. ’Ata who said it was narrated to me by ’Ata from Ibn Abbas from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “Allah likes the statement of Laa ilaaha illallaah much more than any other statement in this world. The sins of a person who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah are wiped out in the same way as dry leaves fall off a tree.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: کُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیدٍ مَنْ أَبَی أَنْ یَقُولَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ.

3. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sayf from his brother Ali from his father from al-Hassan b. al-Sabah who said it was narrated to me by Anas from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “One who does not recite Laa ilaaha illallaah is proud and arrogant.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abu al-Hassan al-Asadi who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hussain al-Sufi from Yusif b. ’Aqeel from Ishaq b. Rahawayh who said: When Imam Reza (a.s.) reached Nishapur and intended to go to Mamoon, the narrators of traditions gathered around him and said, “O son of Allah’s Messenger! You are leaving us without having said any tradition, which could benefit us.” Imam (a.s.) was seated in the camel saddle. He put his head out and said, “I heard my father, Musa Ibne Ja’far (a.s.), who says he heard from his father, Ja’far Ibne Muhammad (a.s.), who says he heard from his father, Muhammad Ibne Ali (a.s.), who says he heard from his father, Ali Ibne Husain (a.s.), who says he heard from his father, Husain Ibne Ali (a.s.), who says he heard from his father, Amirul Momineen Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.), who says he heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.), who says he heard from Jibraeel, who says he heard from Almighty Allah that, ‘The statement Laa ilaaha illallaah is My fort. One who enters My fort will remain safe from My punishment.” When they moved on, he loudly said: “There are certain conditions for this. And I am one of these conditions.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. al-Hassan Mu’addab from Ahmad b. Ali al-Asbahani from Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi from Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ishaq from Abi Harun al-’Abdi from Abi Sa’eed al-Khudri who said: The Messenger of Allah (sw) was sitting on a certain day, and with him were some of his companions, among them Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS). So he (sw) said, "Whoever says 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no god but Allah) shall enter Paradise." Two men from his companions said, "We say 'La ilaha illallah'". The Messenger of Allah (sw) replied, "The testimony of 'There is no god but Allah' is accepted only from this person and his Shia (followers) who have taken the covenant of our Lord." The two men said, "We say 'La ilaha illallah'". Then the Messenger of Allah (sw) placed his hand on the head of Ali (AS) and said, "The sign (of acceptance of the statement of La ilaha illallah) is that one should not break oaths given to him, nor sit in his place or reject his words."

أَبِی رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِی یُوسُفَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ أَعْیَنَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الَّلهُ الْمَلِکُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِینُ أَعَاذَهُ اللَّهُ الْعَزِیزُ الْجَبَّارُ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ أَنِسَ وَحْشَهَ قَبْرِهِ وَ اسْتَجْلَبَ الْغِنَی وَ اسْتَقْرَعَ بَابَ الْجَنَّهِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Abi Yusif from Muhammad b. Abi ’Amira from Malik b. A’yan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If one recites a hundred times 'Laa ilaaha illallaah al-Malik Al-Haqqu Al-Mubeen' (There is no god but Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth, the Manifest), Allah, the Mighty and the Compeller, shall protect him from poverty, dispel his loneliness in his grave, grant him wealth, and open the door to Paradise (for him). ”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. al-Sarri from Ali b. al-Hakam from Abi al-Maghraa’ from Jabir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If one recites Laa ilaaha illallaah without surprise, the Almighty Allah will create a bird from it, which will hover over that person till the Day of Judgment and continue to remember the one who recited it (Laa ilaaha illallaah).”

1. Muḥammad, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Najrān, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-ʿUbaydī, from ʿUmar ibn Yazīd, from Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Sadiq (as), who said: "I heard him say: Whoever says in his day, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is One, without partner, the One God, the Eternal, who has neither a companion nor a child,' Allah will record for him forty-five million good deeds, erase from him forty-five million sins, raise him forty-five million levels, and it will be as if he has recited the entire Qur'an twelve times in one day, and a house will be built for him in Paradise." <br> (Ashhadu an lā ilāha illā Allāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, ilāhan wāḥidan aḥadan ṣamadan, lam yattakhidh ṣāḥibatan wa lā waladan)

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Hilal from Muhammad b. Isa al-Armani from Abi ’Imran al-Kharrat from al-Awzaa’i from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates from his father, who in turn narrates from his father that a person who recites Laa ilaaha illallaahul h’aqqul mubeen thirty times a day will be given wealth, his poverty will vanish and he will knock at the door of Paradise.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said, “Recite Sub-h’aanallaahi wal h’amdu lillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar often because this statement will come to you surrounded by angels and will be included among your good deeds.”

There is no god but Allah, in belief and affirmation. There is no god but Allah, in servitude and submission), the Almighty Allah will turn towards him and won’t turn back from his face till he enters Paradise.”

Sa’d al-Ansari who said: “I asked the meaning of this verse Wa maa kunta bijaanibit’ t’oori idh naadainaa from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.).” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “Two thousand years before the creation of man, the Almighty Allah wrote this verse on a dry leaf and hung it in the heaven and then gave a call, ‘O Ummah of Muhammad! My mercy precedes My anger. I grant you before you ask. I forgive you before you repent. If one of you meets Me and bears witness that there is no Lord except Me and that Muhammad is My servant and messenger I will make him enter Paradise through My mercy’.”

1. Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (ra) narrated to me, saying: Ali ibn al-Husayn al-Sa'dabadi narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah al-Barqi, who said: My father narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr from Malik ibn Anas from Abu Abdullah (as), from his forefathers regarding the Prophet (saw): "The poor came to the Messenger of Allah and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have what they can free as slaves, and we do not. They have what they can perform Hajj with, and we do not. They have what they can give in charity, and we do not. They have what they can struggle with in jihad, and we do not.' The Prophet (saw) said, 'Whoever glorifies Allah a hundred times, it is better than freeing a hundred slaves; whoever praises Allah a hundred times, it is better than leading a hundred camels; whoever says "La ilaha illa Allah" a hundred times, is the best in deeds on that day, except for someone who does more.' The rich heard about this and did the same. The poor returned to the Prophet and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have heard what you said and are doing it too.' He replied, 'That is the favor of Allah, which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great favor.'"

1. Muhammad ibn al-Husayn narrated to me, saying: Sa’d ibn Abdullah narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Abi Dawud al-Mustariq, from Tha’laba ibn Maymun, from Yunus ibn Ya’qub, from Abu Abdillah al-Sadiq (as), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) turned to his companions and said: 'Take up shields.' They asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, is it from an enemy who has surrounded us?' He replied, 'No, but from the fire (of Hell). Say: Subhanallah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest).'"

أَبِی رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ بَزِیعٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ یُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَکْثِرُوا مِنْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ یَأْتِینَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ لَهُنَّ مُقَدِّمَاتٌ وَ مُؤَخِّرَاتٌ وَ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ وَ هُنَ الْباقِیاتُ الصَّالِحاتُ

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said, “Recite Sub-h’aanallaahi wal h’amdu lillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar often because this statement will come to you surrounded by angels and will be included among your good deeds.”

3. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “One who says Sub- h’aanallah Allah will plant a tree for him in Paradise. One who says Al-h’amdulillaah then too a tree will be planted for him in Paradise. Similarly, One who says Laa ilaaha illallaah then also Allah will plant a tree for him in Paradise. Allah will also plant a tree for one who recites Allaahu Akbar. A man of Quraish said: O the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.), then there would be many trees in Paradise for us? Yes, but be careful that you do not send fire or they all would get burnt up. That is why the Almighty Allah said: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle, and do not make your deeds of no effect.1

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ ذَاتَ یَوْمٍ أَ رَأَیْتُمْ لَوْ جَمَعْتُمْ مَا عِنْدَکُمْ مِنَ الثِّیَابِ وَ الْآنِیَهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُمْ بَعْضَهُ عَلَی بَعْضٍ أَ کُنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَهُ تَبْلُغُ السَّمَاءَ قَالُوا لَا یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَ لَا أَدُلُّکُمْ عَلَی شَیْ ءٍ أَصْلُهُ فِی الْأَرْضِ وَ فَرْعُهُ فِی السَّمَاءِ قَالُوا بَلَی یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ یَقُولُ أَحَدُکُمْ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاهِ الْفَرِیضَهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ ثَلَاثِینَ مَرَّهً فَإِنَّ أَصْلَهُنَّ فِی الْأَرْضِ وَ فَرْعَهُنَّ فِی السَّمَاءِ وَ هُنَّ یَدْفَعْنَ الْهَدْمَ وَ الْحَرَقَ وَ الْغَرَقَ وَ التَّرَدِّیَ فِی الْبِئْرِ وَ أَکْلَ السَّبُعِ وَ مِیتَهَ السَّوْءِ وَ الْبَلِیَّهَ الَّتِی تَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَی الْعَبْدِ فِی ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمِ وَ هُنَ الْباقِیاتُ الصَّالِحاتُ.

4. And with this chain of narration from Ahmad, from his father, and Muhammad ibn 'Isa, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah (AS), who said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (sw) said to his companions one day, 'Do you think that if you were to gather what you have of clothing and utensils, then placed them atop one another, would you perceive them reaching the sky?' They replied, 'No, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Shall I not inform you of something whose root is in the earth and its branches in the sky?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'One of you, upon completing the obligatory prayer, should say: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater than what can be described); thirty times. For indeed, their root is in the earth and their branches are in the sky. They prevent destruction, fire, drowning, falling in a well, consumption by wild beasts, death due to accidents, and the affliction that descends from the sky upon the servant on that day. They are the enduring good deeds.'"

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad who said it was narrated to us by Abi from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Abdillah b. Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites: Sub- h’aanallahi wa bih’amdihi sub-h’aanallaahil a’z’eemi wa bih’amdih, the Almighty Allah will grant him three thousand rewards, increase three thousand grades and create a bird for him, which will glorify God and its reward will be given to that person.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from his father and al-Hassan b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Sinan from Abi al-Jarud from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “For one who recites Sub-h’aanallaah without surprise Allah will create a bird from it, having a tongue and two wings. It will glorify Allah for that person till the Day of Judgment. The recitation of statement Al-h’amdulillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar also holds the same reward.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Ibn Fadhal from Yunis b. Ya’qub who said: Yunus bin Yaqoob says that he asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “[O son of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.)] One who recites Sub-h’aanallaah a hundred times, will he be counted among the ones who remember Allah a lot?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes.”

1. Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil narrated to me that Ali b. al-Husayn al-Sa'dabadi narrated to him, from Ahmad b. Abi Abdullah, from Ali b. al-Hakam, from Saif b. Amirah, from Zaid al-Shahham that Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) said: "Whoever says 'Praise be to Allah as He deserves', Allah will keep the scribes of heaven busy." It was asked, "How do the scribes of the heavens remain busy?". He said, "They say, 'O Allah! We do not know the unseen.' So Allah says, 'Write it as my servant said it, and for him is its reward.'"

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ سَعِیدِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو مَشْعَرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِینَ فَقَدْ أَدَّی شُکْرَ یَوْمِهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَهَا إِذَا أَمْسَی فَقَدْ أَدَّی شُکْرَ لَیْلَتِهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Mansur b. al-Abbas from Sa’eed b. Janah who said it was narrated to me by Abu Mash’ar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Alhamdulillaahi rabbil a’alameen four times every morning has without any doubt thanked for this day and one who says it in the night has thanked for that night.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Almighty Allah glorifies Himself thrice every day and night. One who glorifies Him like this will have good fortune if he had a bad one.

What is that?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “One who has belief in the Lordship of Allah, prophethood of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.), imamate of Ali (a.s.), fulfills the obligatory deeds Allah would keep him near Himself forever and He won’t remain hidden from that person.” Mufaddal said, “By God, this grace is not like that of humans.” Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “You can earn many rewards even if you perform a few good deeds.”

Katheer al-Hashimi, the slave of Muhammad b. Ali, from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: "Amir al-Mu'minin (AS) was sitting one day with Ibn al-Hanafiyyah, and he said, "O Muhammad, bring me a vessel with water in it, so I can perform ablution for prayer." Muhammad brought the water, and he (Amir al-Mu'minin) washed his right hand with his left hand, then he said, "In the name of Allah, praise be to Allah who has made water pure and not impure." <br>He then performed istinja (cleaning the private parts) and said, "O Allah, protect my private parts, forgive me, cover my shame (nakedness), and prohibit the Hellfire from me." Afterward, he rinsed his mouth and said, "O Allah, grant me the ability to argue my case on the day I meet You and let my tongue speak with Your remembrance." <br>He then sniffed water into his nose and said, "O Allah, do not deprive me of the scent of Paradise and make me among those who enjoy its fragrance, its scent, its aroma, and its perfume." <br>Next, he washed his face and said, "O Allah, whiten my face on the day when faces will turn black, and do not make my face black on the day when faces will turn white." <br>He then washed his right hand and said, "O Allah, grant me my book (of deeds) in my right hand and grant me eternity in the Gardens on my left, and make my reckoning an easy one." <br>Afterward, he washed his left hand and said, "O Allah, do not give my book in my left hand, and do not make it tied to my neck, and I seek refuge in You from the severing of the Fire." <br>He then wiped his head and said, "O Allah, shower me with Your mercy, blessings, and forgiveness." <br>Then, he wiped his feet and said, "O Allah, make me steadfast on the Straight Path on the day when feet will slip, and let my effort please You, O Most Merciful of those who are merciful." <br>Then he raised his head and looked at Muhammad and said, "O Muhammad, whoever performs ablution like my ablution and says like my saying, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, creates an angel from every drop, who sanctifies it, praises it, and magnifies it. Allah, the Exalted, records a reward for that until the Day of Resurrection."

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) used to wash his head with Jujube leaves and say, “Wash your head with jujube leaves for all the angels and prophets consider this holy. Allah will keep away evil thoughts of Shaitaan for seventy days from the one who washes his head with jujube leaves. That person won’t commit sins and one who does not commit sins will enter Paradise.”

Abi Talib from his grandfather who said: “This is the dye of faith.” After hearing this saying, those people continued this deed till they lived.”

2. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) says, “The color of dye, which Allah likes the most is dark black.”

3. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “Spending a dirham for dye is equal to spending a hundred dirhams in the way of Allah. There are fourteen benefits of applying dye – it stops air from ears, improves eyesight, softens the root of nose, mouth smells good, jaws become strong, removes the odor of armpits, evil thoughts lessen, angels become happy, it is a cause of glad-tidings for a believer and suffering for a disbeliever, it is the cause of beauty, fragrance and avoidance of the hardships of grave and Munkir and Nakir would shy due to dye.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ الصُّوفِیِّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عُبْدُوسِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ الْبَغْدَادِیِّ رَفَعَ الْحَدِیثَ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْحِنَّاءُ یَذْهَبُ بِالسَّهَکِ وَ یَزِیدُ فِی مَاءِ الْوَجْهِ وَ یُطَیِّبُ النَّکْهَهَ وَ یُحَسِّنُ الْوَلَدَ وَ قَالَ مَنِ اطَّلَی فَتَدَلَّکَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَی قَدَمِهِ نُفِیَ عَنْهُ الْفَقْرُ.

4. And from the previous chain from Ibrahim b. Ishaq from Ismail al-Sufi from al-Abbas b. Abi al-Abbas from Ubdus b. Ibrahim al-Baghdadi who raised this narration to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who applies henna from head to toe after using Noorah (depilatory made of lime) his poverty would end.”

حَدَّثَنِی الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْکُحْلُ یُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ وَ یُجَفِّفُ الدَّمْعَهَ وَ یُعْذِبُ الرِّیقَ وَ یَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ.

4. It was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Ahmad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Sahl b. Ziyad from Ibn Sinan from Hamad b. Uthman from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Applying Antimony helps hair growth, tears dry up, spit thickens and eyesight improves.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع اسْتَأْصِلْ شَعْرَکَ تَقِلَّ دَوَابُّهُ وَ دَرَنُهُ وَ وَسَخُهُ وَ تَغْلُظْ رَقَبَتُکَ وَ یَجْلُو بَصَرَکَ.

1. The narrator says that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said to him, “Cut your hair so that dandruff and lice gets reduced. Cutting hair broadens one’s neck and improves eyesight.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زَیْدٍ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ أَنَامِلِهِ الدَّاءَ وَ أَدْخَلَ فِیهَا الدَّوَاءَ.

1. It is narrated by Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) from his predecessors that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said, “For one who trims his nails on Friday the Almighty Allah would remove pain from his fingers and insert medicine to them.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ یَوْمَ السَّبْتِ أَوْ یَوْمَ الْخَمِیسِ وَ أَخَذَ مِنْ شَارِبِهِ عُوفِیَ مِنْ وَجَعِ الْأَضْرَاسِ وَ وَجَعِ الْعَیْنِ.

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who trims his nails and moustache on Thursday or Saturday will remain safe from the pain of teeth and eyes.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ زَکَرِیَّا عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ یَحْیَی قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ قَصَّ أَظَافِیرَهُ یَوْمَ الْخَمِیسِ وَ تَرَکَ وَاحِدَهً لِیَوْمِ الْجُمُعَهِ نَفَی اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْهُ الْفَقْرَ.

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who trims all his nails except one on Thursday and trims the remaining one on Friday, Allah would remove his poverty.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَقْلِیمُ الْأَظْفَارِ یَمْنَعُ الدَّاءَ الْأَعْظَمَ وَ یَزِیدُ فِی الرِّزْقِ.

4. It is narrated by Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Trimming nails prevents serious hardships and increases one’s earnings.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ الْمَدَائِنِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تَقْلِیمُ الْأَظْفَارِ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ یُؤْمِنُ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ وَ الْعَمَی فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَجْ فَحُکَّهَا حَکّاً.

5. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Isa from Abi Ayoob’ al-Madaini from Abi ’Umayra from Hisham b. Salim from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Trimming nails on Friday saves one from leprosy, leucoderma and blindness. If it is not possible to trim them, one should at least rub them on something.”

وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ وَ قَصَّ شَارِبَهُ فِی کُلِّ جُمُعَهٍ- ثُمَّ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَی مِلَّهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أُعْطِیَ بِکُلِّ قُلَامَهٍ عِتْقَ رَقَبَهٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ.

6. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who recites Bismillaahi wa billaahi wa a’laa millaati rasoolillaah while trimming nails and moustache on Friday would get the reward of freeing a slave from the progeny of Ismail (a.s.) for each hair and nail trimmed.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ أَبِی کَهْمَسٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَلِّمْنِی دُعَاءً أَسْتَنْزِلُ بِهِ الرِّزْقَ فَقَالَ لِی خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِکَ وَ أَظْفَارِکَ وَ لْیَکُنْ ذَلِکَ فِی یَوْمِ الْجُمُعَهِ. قال محمد بن علی مؤلف هذا الکتاب قال أبی رض فی وصیه إلی قلم أظفارک و خذ من شاربک و ابدأ بخنصرک من یدک الیمنی و قل حین ترید تقلمها أو جز شاربک بسم الله و بالله و علی مله رسول الله ص فإنه من فعل ذلک کتب الله له بکل قلامه و جزازه عتق نسمه و لم یمرض إلا مرضه الذی یموت فیه.

7. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Kahmas who said: “One of the advices of my father, may Allah’s peace be upon him, was: ‘O son! Trim your nails and moustache. Start trimming nails from the small finger of right hand and whenever you do the above two deeds, recite this supplication Bismillaahi wa billaahi wa a’laa millati rasoolillaah. O son! To one who performs this deed Allah would grant the reward of releasing a slave for each nail and hair trimmed and he will not be involved in any disease except death.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan (rah) who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Sayyari from Abi Sulayman al-Khawwadh from Abi Na’im al-Fadhl b. Dukayn from Sadeer al-Sayrafi who said: “One who goes to market with an intention of buying white shoes and buys them; then before those shoes are worn out, that person gets such a wealth, which he would have never expected.” Abu Naeem says that Sudair informed him saying, “My shoes were not worn out yet and I received a hundred dirhams from somewhere I had never expected.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Musa b. ’Umayr from Abdillah b. Jabalah from Hanan b. Sadeer who said: “Why are you wearing black shoes? Do you know its bad consequences?” He asked, “What are its bad effects?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It affects eyesight and male prowess and it is a cause of sadness and anger. Further, it is the sign of oppressors. Wear yellow shoes and enjoy its benefits.” He asked, “What are the benefits of wearing them?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It improves eyesight and increases male prowess. It ends sadness and anger and it is a part of the dress of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan (rah) who said it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Abdillah b. Jabalah from Abi al-Jarud from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Wearing shoes improves eyesight.”

2. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Musa b. ’Imran from Ibn Mahbub from Muawiyah b. Wahab from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A person who wears shoes often does not get involved in leprosy.” The narrator asked, “Are you talking about summer or winter?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “There is no difference between them.”

1. It was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Muhammad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Umar al-Sarad from the one that narrated to him from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A person should recite Surah Qadr thirty-six times while cutting a new cloth. When he reaches Tanazzalul malaa-ikatu, he should sprinkle a little water on the cloth. He should then offer a two rakat Salaat and recite this supplication Alh’amdulillaahilladhee razaqanee maa atajammalu bihi finnaasi wa uwaaree bihi a’uratee wa us’allee feehi lirabbee wa ah’madullaah. Before this cloth gets old, there would be abundance in livelihood.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far from Harun b. Muslim from Mas’ada b. Sadaqah from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his forefathers (a.s.) that The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah has decreed Paradise for those youths who look at the mirror and praise Allah much.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far from Harun b. Muslim from Mas’ada b. Sadaqah from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers (a.s.) that The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “One who recites Alh’amdulillaahilladhee faz”z”alnee a’laika bil islaami deenanw wa bi qur-aani kitaabanw wa bimuh’ammadin nabeeyanw wa bi-a’liyyin imaamanw wa bil mu-mineena ikhwaananw wabil ka’bati qiblah Allah won’t gather that person along with those people.”

1. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) narrates from his father, Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who performs complete ablution, offers Salaat regularly, pays Zakat of his wealth regularly, controls his anger and tongue, repents for his sins and seeks goodness of the Ahle Bayt (a.s.) of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) then all the duties of his faith are fulfilled and the doors of Paradise would be opened for him.”

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who recites Raz”eetubillaahi rabbanw wa bil islaami deenanw wa bimuh’ammadir rasoolanw wa bi-ahli baytihi awliyaa – he has right that Allah becomes pleased with him on the Day of Judgment.”

1. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) says, “Those who visit mosque often would get the benefit of (at least) one of these eight things – benefiting from a brother in the way of Allah or gaining extra knowledge, or appearance of a strong sign, gaining that mercy which was awaited, benefiting from conversation which saves one from destruction, or hearing about an act of guidance, or keeping away from sins out of fear or keeping away from sins out of shame.”

A slave of Mine who performs ablution in his house and come to My house for meeting Me shall have Tooba (a good fortune). Know that it is necessary for the host to honor his guest.”

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “Know that Allah says, ‘My houses on the earth are mosques. As stars provide light to the people on earth mosques do to the people on heaven. Know that those people have Tooba (good fortune) whose houses are mosques. Also know that a slave of Mine who performs ablution in his house and come to My house for meeting Me shall have Tooba (good fortune). Know that it is necessary for the host to honor his guest. Know that there are glad tidings of bright light on the Day of Judgment for one who visits the mosque in darkness.

3. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) says, “Whenever people of the earth commit sins or get involved in wrong deeds, the Almighty Allah intends to send down His chastisement on the people of the world. However when He sees elderly people praying and young children learning Quran, He feels pity on them and does not send down His chastisement.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “O Abaan! One who offers obligatory prayers five times and that too on prime time, he will go to Allah with an assurance on the Day of Judgment and Allah would make him enter Paradise. And for a person who did not offer prayers on time, Allah has choice whether to punish him or forgive him.”

2. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’d from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Ismail al-Basri from al-Fadhl from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Messenger of Allah (sw) entered the mosque where his companions were gathered. He questioned them, 'Are you familiar with what your Lord has stated?' They replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He then said, 'Verily, your Lord has stated: 'One who offers obligatory prayers five times and that too on prime time, he will come to Me with an assurance on the Day of Judgment and I would make him enter Paradise. And for a person who did not offer prayers on time, I have choice whether to punish him or forgive him’.”'

During the time of Nuh (a.s.), water started coming out from this place and his Ark was built over here only. Its right side possesses the pleasure of Allah. Its middle has a garden of Paradise and its left has Makr.” He asked, “What do you mean by Makr?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It implies the buildings of Shaitaan.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. Najayh from Muhammad b. Ali from Mus’ab b. Salam al-Taymi from Sa’d b. Dharif from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Azaan for ten years seeking reward from Allah, Allah would forgive him with the forgiveness equal to the number of times he looks at the sky and number of times his voice comes out. Everything, be it dry or wet will testify it. All those who hear this person and pray inside the mosque will also get a part of this reward.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Muhammad b. Ali from Isa b. Abdillah from his father from his grandfather from Ali (a.s.) who said: “No, a time will come when the responsibility of Azaan and Iqamah will be entrusted only to weak and helpless people. Hence the fire of Hell is made unlawful on their weak flesh.”

1. For a person who recites Azaan and Iqamah angels would stand in rows behind him. Those rows would be so wide that their ends would be unknown. And the person who offers Salaat after saying Iqamah; an angel would pray behind him.”

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who offers Salaat after saying Azaan and Iqamah two rows of angels pray behind him. If a person offers Salaat after saying Iqamah only, one row of angels prays behind him.” The narrator asked, “How wide is that row?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The shortest is from east to west and the longest from earth to heaven.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who recites Qul huwallaahu ah’ad, innaa anzalnaahu fee lailatil qadr and ayatal kursi in a recommended prayer Allah would consider his deed best except for that person who has performed it more than him.”

1. It is narrated by Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) from his predecessors from Abu Zar (r.a.) that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The longer the Qunoot of a person in this world, the longer would be his peace in Mauqif (stages) on the Day of Judgment.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil from Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Sindi b. al-Rabee’ from Sa’eed b. Janah who said: “For one who completes his Ruku, fear won’t enter his grave.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who prostrates once, one of his sins is forgiven and a position would be raised for him.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع إِذَا سَجَدَ أَحَدُکُمْ فَلْیُبَاشِرْ بِکَفَّیْهِ الْأَرْضَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ یَصْرِفُ عَنْهُ الْغُلَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “When one of you performs the Sajdah you must place the palms of your hands on the ground, perhaps by that you will be exempted from the chains on the Day of Qiyamat.”

أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِیَهَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ هُوَ یَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَطَالَ السُّجُودَ حَیْثُ لَا یَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ الشَّیْطَانُ وَا وَیْلَاهْ أَطَاعُوا وَ عَصَیْتُ وَ سَجَدُوا وَ أَبَیْتُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who performs a prolonged Sajdah without anyone seeing him Shaitaan exclaims, ‘Alas! He obeyed while I disobeyed. They prostrated and I refused.’”

أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ رَزِینٍ عَنْ زَیْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَقْرَبُ مَا یَکُونُ الْعَبْدُ إِلَی اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The state of a slave nearest to his Lord is the state of prostration.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “One who recites: Allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa aali muh’ammad in his Ruku, his Sajdah and his Qiyam, Allah writes for him a reward like that of Ruku, Sajdah or Qiyam.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who prostrates for thanking for the bounties apart from Salaat, Allah writes for him ten rewards, erases ten of his sins and increase his position by ten levels in Paradise.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عُبَیْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ وَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ صَلَاهٍ یَحْضُرُ وَقْتُهَا إِلَّا نَادَی مَلَکٌ بَیْنَ یَدَیِ النَّاسِ أَیُّهَا النَّاسُ قُومُوا إِلَی نِیرَانِکُمُ الَّتِی أَوْقَدْتُمُوهَا عَلَی ظُهُورِکُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا بِصَلَاتِکُمْ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Whenever the time of Salaat starts, an angel calls out to the people, ‘O people, stand up! Extinguish the fire, which you have lighted on your backs with the help of Salaat.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِیزِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی یَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا صَلَّیْتَ صَلَاهً فَرِیضَهً فَصَلِّهَا لِوَقْتِهَا صَلَاهَ مُوَدِّعٍ یَخَافُ أَنْ لَا یَعُودَ إِلَیْهَا أَبَداً ثُمَّ اصْرِفْ بِبَصَرِکَ إِلَی مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِکَ فَلَوْ تَعْلَمُ مَنْ عَنْ یَمِینِکَ وَ شِمَالِکَ لَأَحْسَنْتَ صَلَاتَکَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّکَ قُدَّامَ مَنْ یَرَاکَ وَ لَا تَرَاهُ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “O Abdullah, when you offer an obligatory prayer, offer it on time. Else it is possible that you might lose the opportunity to do so. Focus your eyes on the place of your prostrations while offering Salaat. You pray carefully as if there is someone around you. Know that He is seeing you and you are not able to see Him.”

Abi ’Umayr from Jameel from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “There are three benefits of Salaat – whenever a person stands for Salaat, good deeds descend on him from all the corners of the heaven, angels surround that person from the place under his feet till the heaven and an angel calls out, ‘O worshipper! If you had known to Whom you are supplicating you would have never missed it.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Hassan b. Musa al-Khashab from Abdillah b. Jabalah from Ghiyath b. Kalub from Ishaq b. Ammar who said: I asked Abi Abdillah (a.s.): "Oh Aba Abdillah, inform me about the best times during the Fajr prayer." He replied: "It is at the time of the dawn. Verily, Allah, the Most High, says, 'Indeed, the recitation of the Qur'an at dawn is ever witnessed.' (17:78). Meaning, it is witnessed by the angels of the day and the angels of the night. So when the servant prays Salaat al-Subh at the start of dawn, its reward would be noted down twice, noted by the angels of the night and the angels of the day.”

Abi Khalaf from Abi al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) who said: “If an obligatory prayer is offered in prime time fulfilling all the conditions a sweet smell would come out from it just like the sweet smell that comes out when a branch of tree is broken. Hence it is obligatory on you to offer Salaat at its prime time.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ زُرْعَهَ عَنْ سَمَاعَهَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ: أَیُّمَا مُسَافِرٍ صَلَّی الْجُمُعَهَ رَغْبَهً فِیهَا وَ حُبّاً لَهَا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ أَجْرَ مِائَهِ جُمُعَهٍ لِلْمُقِیمِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Zur’a from Sama’a from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father (a.s.) who said: “If a traveler among you offers Friday Prayer for the sake of devotion and love of Almighty, Allah grants him reward equal to one hundred non-travelers’ Friday Salaat.”

حَدَّثَنِی أَبِی ره بِإِسْنَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ الصَّلَاهَ فِی الْجَمَاعَهِ تَفْضُلُ عَلَی صَلَاهِ الْفَرْدِ ثلاث [بِثَلَاثٍ] وَ عِشْرِینَ دَرَجَهً تَکُونُ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِینَ صَلَاهً.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The excellence of congregational prayers is twenty three times that of prayer offered alone and this one congregational prayer is equal to twenty five prayers.”

حَدَّثَنِی أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَتَی الْجَمَاعَهَ إِیمَاناً وَ احْتِسَاباً اسْتَأْنَفَ الْعَمَلَ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “For one who offers Salaat in congregation with faith and for seeking divine rewards, a new record of his deeds would be created (blotting out all sins he has committed before).”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُعَلَّی بْنِ خُنَیْسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْأَنْصَارِیِّ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّی بْنِ خُنَیْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ مَنْ وَافَقَ مِنْکُمْ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ فَلَا یَشْتَغِلَنَّ بِشَیْ ءٍ غَیْرِ الْعِبَادَهِ فَإِنَّ فِیهَا تُغْفَرُ للعباده [لِلْعِبَادِ] وَ تَنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَهُ.

3. The narrator heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “One who gets a Friday, should not get involved in anything except worship because people are forgiven and mercy is showered on this day.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ أَیْمَنَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَیْلِ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مِنْ شِیعَتِنَا یَقُومُ إِلَی الصَّلَاهِ إِلَّا اکْتَنَفَهُ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ مَلَائِکَهٌ یُصَلُّونَ خَلْفَهُ یَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ حَتَّی یَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from al-Hussain and al-Hassan b. Aban from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Ayman b. Muhriz from Muhammad b. al-Fudhayl from Abi Hamzah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “None of our Shias gets up for prayer except that he is surrounded by angels equal to the number of enemies around him and they pray behind him and supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and the Sublime for him till he finishes his prayer.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “After you pray the Asr prayers on Friday recite as follows: Allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa aali muh’ammadin alaa aus’iyaa-il mursaleena bi-afz”ali s’alawaatika wa baarik wa baarika a’laihim bi-afz”ali barakaatika was salaamu a’laihim wa a’laa arwaah’ihim wa ajsaamidihim wa rah’matullaahi wa barakaatuh. For one who recites this after Asr, Allah writes for him a hundred thousand rewards, wipes out a hundred thousand sins. Fulfills a hundred thousand wishes of him and increases his position by a hundred thousand levels.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from his father from Ibn al-Mughira from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites after the conclusion of Friday Prayer, Surah Hamd once, Surah Tauheed, Surah Qul a-oo’dhu birabbil falaq and Surah Qul a-oo’dhu birabbinnaas seven times and Ayatal Kursi, Ayat-e- Sakhr and the last verse of Surah Baraat once it would be a compensation of his sins from that Friday to next.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who recites after the conclusion of Friday Prayer, Surah Hamd once, Surah Qul a-oo’dhubirabbil falaq seven times, then Surah Hamd once and Surah Qul huwallaahu ah’ad seven times, then Surah Hamd once and Surah Qul a-oo’dhubirabbin Naas, no calamity would befall him and he won’t be involved in any mischief. Further if he says: Allaahummaj a’lnee min ahlil jannatillatee h’ashwuhaa barakatunw wa u’mmaaruhal malaa-ikatu ma-a’ nabiyyeenaa muh’ammadinw wa abeenaa ibraaheem Allah would keep him in Daarus Salaam (Paradise) along with Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and Ibrahim (a.s.).”

1. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) says, “Whenever people of the earth commit sins or get involved in wrong deeds, the Almighty Allah intends to send down His chastisement on the people of the world. However when He sees elderly people walking towards Salaat and young children learning Quran, He feels pity on them and postpones it.”

2. It is narrated that Allah does not take away one or both the eyes of a person except that He frees that person from being questioned about sins.

1. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “Leave laziness aside for your Lord is Merciful. He considers even a small deed of yours. A person who offers even a two rakat Salaat for the pleasure of Allah, He will make him enter Paradise for that. One who gives one dirham as Sadaqah seeking the pleasure of Allah, He would make him enter Paradise for that. One who fasts for a single day seeking the pleasure of Allah, He would make him enter Paradise for that.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “Surely, the excellence of the Fridays of the month of Ramadan over ordinary Fridays is like the excellence of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) over other prophets. Similar is the excellence of the month of Ramadan over all months.”

1. It was narrated to me by Ali b. Ahmad from his grandfather Ahmad b. Abdillah from his father from Muhammad b. Khalid from al-Muffadhal b. Umar from al-Sadiq (a.s.) who said: “Two rakat prayer prayed with perfume is equal to seventy rakat prayer offered without perfume.”

1. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “One who offers a four rakat prayer reciting Surah Tauheed fifty times in each rakat all of his sins committed between him and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, would be forgiven before he concludes it.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from his father from Ali b. Asbat from Ibrahim b. Abi al-Balad who said: The narrator asked Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.), “What is the reward of offering Salaat-e-Ja’far-e-Tayyar?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Allah would forgive that person even if his sins are equal to the number of grains of sand or number of waves in the oceans.” The narrator asked, “Is this reward applicable for us?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Of course, then for whom else? It is for you only.” The narrator asked, “Which Surah should be recited in this Salaat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Recite Idhaa zulzilat, idhaa jaa-a nas’rullaah, innaa anzalnaahu fee lailatil qadr and qul huwallaahu ah’ad.”

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Abu Zuhayr al-Hindi from Adam b. Ishaq from Muawiyah b. Ammar from some of his companions from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Offer Salaat-e-Shab for it is the Sunnah of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and the virtuous that came before you. It removes all the ailments from your body.”

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “Salaat-e-Shab brightens the face. It imparts a sweet smell and increase in earnings.”

4. It was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Muhammad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Umar b. Ali b. Umar from the one the person that narrated to him from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: ‘Wealth and children are the adornment of life’, surely the eight rakat prayer offered in the last part of night is the adornment of the Hereafter.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَشَکَا إِلَیْهِ الْحَاجَهَ فَأَفْرَطَ فِی الشِّکَایَهِ حَتَّی کَادَ أَنْ یَشْکُوَ الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا هَذَا أَ تُصَلِّی بِاللَّیْلِ قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِلَی صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ کَذَبَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ یُصَلِّی بِاللَّیْلِ وَ یَجُوعُ بِالنَّهَارِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ضَمِنَ بِصَلَاهِ اللَّیْلِ قُوتَ النَّهَارِ.

5. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that a person came to him and expressed his wish. He was about to complain of his starvation when Imam asked him, “Do you offer Salaat-e-Shab?” He said, “Yes.” Imam turned to him and said, “He is a liar that claims to offer Salaat-e-Shab and says that he has to starve during the day, because the Almighty Allah has guaranteed the sustenance of the day in the Salaat-e-Shab.”

6. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. Isa from al-Qasim b. Yahya from his grandfather al-Hussain b. Rashid from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said it was narrated to me by Abi from his grandfather from his forefathers from Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.) who said: “Salaat-e-Shab is related to the safety of body, pleasure of Lord, character of the prophets and it attracts the Mercy of Allah.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّوْفَلِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَیَقُومُ فِی اللَّیْلِ فَیَمِیلُ بِهِ النُّعَاسُ یَمِیناً وَ شِمَالًا وَ قَدْ وَقَعَ ذَقَنُهُ عَلَی صَدْرِهِ فَیَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُفَتَّحُ ثُمَّ یَقُولُ لِلْمَلَائِکَهِ انْظُرُوا إِلَی عَبْدِی مَا یُصِیبُهُ فِی التَّقَرُّبِ إِلَیَّ بِمَا لَمْ أَفْتَرِضْ عَلَیْهِ رَاجِیاً مِنِّی لِثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ ذَنْباً أَغْفِرُهُ لَهُ أَوْ تَوْبَهً أُجَدِّدُهَا لَهُ أَوْ رِزْقاً أَزِیدُهُ فِیهِ فَأُشْهِدُکُمْ مَلَائِکَتِی أَنِّی قَدْ جَمَعْتُهُنَّ لَهُ.

7. The narrator says, “I heard him say that if one gets up at night after turning to his left and right in such a state that his chin is touching his chest (out of tiredness), Allah orders the doors of heavens to be opened and says to His angels: ‘Look at this servant of Mine. He is going to perform what is not even obligatory for him. He can expect three things from Me – that I forgive all his sins, I give him a chance to repent once again and increase his earnings. I hold you all angels as witness that I would grant all these things to him’.”

8. It was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Ahmad from his father who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. al-Hassan b. Ali b. Uthman and Abu Uthman his name is Abd al-Wahid b. Habeeb who said claimed to us Muhammad b. Abi Hamzah al-Thumali from Muawiyah b. Ammar al-Duhni from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Salaat-e-Shab beautifies one’s face, improves one’s character, fragrances the body and increases earnings. It helps in repayment of debts, removal of sorrows and improves eyesight.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْکِنْدِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَیَکْذِبُ الْکَذِبَهَ فَیُحْرَمُ بِهَا رِزْقَهُ قُلْتُ وَ کَیْفَ یُحْرَمُ رِزْقَهُ فَقَالَ یُحْرَمُ بِهَا صَلَاهَ اللَّیْلِ فَإِذَا حُرِمَ صَلَاهَ اللَّیْلِ حُرِمَ الرِّزْقَ.

9. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Sahl b. Ziyad from Harun b. Muslim from Ali b. al-Hakam from al-Hussain b. al-Hassan al-Kindi from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “It is possible that a person lies and is deprived of his sustenance.” The narrator asked, “How can he be deprived of his sustenance?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “By getting deprived from Salaat-e-Shab. One who is deprived of Salaat-e-Shab is (also) deprived of his sustenance.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِیلٍ عَنْ فُضَیْلٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الْبُیُوتَ الَّتِی یُصَلَّی فِیهَا بِاللَّیْلِ بِتِلَاوَهِ الْقُرْآنِ تُضِی ءُ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ کَمَا تُضِی ءُ نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ.

10. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Jameel from Fudhayl from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The houses, in which the Holy Quran is recited along with Salaat-e-Shab appear bright to the people of heaven in the same way as stars appear to the people of the world.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِی قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- إِنَّ الْحَسَناتِ یُذْهِبْنَ السَّیِّئاتِ قَالَ صَلَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنِ بِاللَّیْلِ تَذْهَبُ بِمَا عَمِلَ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ بِالنَّهَارِ.

11. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) explains the statement of Allah that ‘Good deeds destroy sins’ by saying, “The Salaat offered by a believer at night destroys the sins committed by him during the day.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates from his father that a person asked the reward of remaining awake at night and reciting the Holy Quran to Amirul Momineen (a.s.). Amirul Momineen (a.s.) replied, “There are glad tidings for him. One who offers Salaat in one-tenth part of night seeking reward from Allah, the Almighty Allah says to His angels, ‘Note down the good deeds for this servant of Mine equal to the number of all the grains, leaves, trees and meadows’. One who offers Salaat for one-ninth part of night Allah grants him ten recommended supplications and hands over his scroll of deeds on the Day of Judgment in his right hand. One who offers Salaat for one-eighth part of night Almighty Allah grants him the reward of a martyr who was patient and had pure intention and Almighty Allah would also accept his intercession. One who offers Salaat for one- seventh part of night he would come out of his grave in such a state that his face would be shinning like a full moon and he would pass on the Sirat Bridge along with the protecte ones of Allah. One who offers Salaat for one-sixth part of night would be counted among those who repent and his sins committed in past and future would be forgiven. One who spends one-fifth part of night offering Salaat would get a place in Maqbara-e-Ibrahim (a.s.). One who offers Salaat for one-fourth part of night would be considered first among the successful people for he would pass through the Sirat Bridge like a strong wind and enter Paradise without accounting of his deeds. One who offers Salaat for one-third part of night every angel whom he will meet will say to him, ‘I wish even my position would have been so near to Allah like yours’. That person would be given the choice of entering Paradise through any of the eight doors. One who offers Salaat for half part of night giving him whole earth filled with gold seventy thousand times would not be sufficient as his reward. The reward of this deed is more than that of freeing seventy slaves from the progeny of Ismail (a.s.). One who prays for two-third part of a night would be given rewards equal to the number of grains of sand on earth and the weight of smallest deed would be equal to that of Mt. Ohad. One who involves himself in Salaat, Ruku and recitation of the Holy Quran he would be given a great reward. The smallest reward given to him is that he would be cleansed of his sins as he was on the day he was born. He would be given rewards and positions equal to the number of all creatures of Allah. His grave would remain illuminated forever. Sins and jealousy would be removed from his heart. He would be given salvation from the chastisement of grave. He would be given freedom from Hell. All those who were in his protection would be resurrected along with him. The Almighty Allah will say to the angels, ‘O My angels! See this servant of Mine. He used to remain awake at night for the sake of My pleasure. Give him peace in Paradise. There are a hundred thousand cities in Paradise for him and all of them have all the things required to satisfy the desires of the eyes and the hunger of one’s heart. You won’t believe that I am going to give him more honor and proximity to Myself’.”

Muhammad from his father from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: “One who offers a two rakat Nafila Salaat even if it is simple at the time of unawareness it would make him reach the door of Mercy (Paradise).” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What is this time of unawareness?” He replied, “It is between Maghrib and Isha prayers.”

Ahmad al-Razi from al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “One who offers five hundred rakats of Salaat between two Fridays, anything good desired by him would be fulfilled by Allah.”

1. Imam Husain (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who remembers Allah sitting at the place he offered Morning Prayer till sunrise is given reward equal to the number of pilgrims of the house of Allah and he would get salvation. If he sits there till the time of next Salaat and offers at least four rakat prayer all his past sins would be forgiven and he would get reward equal to performing Hajj of the House of Allah.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَکَمِ بْنِ مِسْکِینٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّی الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ عَقَّبَ وَ لَمْ یَتَکَلَّمْ حَتَّی یُصَلِّیَ رَکْعَتَیْنِ کُتِبَتَا لَهُ فِی عِلِّیِّینَ فَإِنْ صَلَّی أَرْبَعاً کُتِبَتْ لَهُ حِجَّهٌ مَبْرُورَهٌ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab from al-Hakam b. Miskeen from Abi al-’Ala al-Khafaf from Ja’far b. Muhammad (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Taaqibaat after Maghrib prayer and offers two rakat prayer without having spoken to anyone it would be written in Illiyeen and if he offers a four rakat prayer it would be counted as a pure Hajj.

3. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said that Allah, the Might and Sublime said, “O children of Adam! Remember Me after Morning Prayer for an hour and after Asr prayers for an hour so that I fulfill your important wishes.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Abu Ishaq Ibrahim b. Hashim from al-Hassan b. Ali b. Fadhal from Mahdi a man from our companions from Abi al-Hassan the first (a.s.) who said: “One who takes out full Zakat from his wealth and disburses it in the proper manner would not be questioned from where he gathered his wealth.”

أَبِی ره حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَیْراً بَعَثَ إِلَیْهِ مَلَکاً مِنْ خُزَّانِ الْجَنَّهِ فَمَسَحَ صَدْرَهُ وَ یُسَخِّی نَفْسَهُ بِالزَّکَاهِ. وَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع فِی وَصِیَّتِهِ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ فِی الزَّکَاهِ فَإِنَّهَا تُطْفِئُ غَضَبَ رَبِّکُمْ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his father that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Whenever Allah wants to offer something good to His slave He sends the angel who is the treasurer of Paradise to that person. That angel strokes the chest of that slave and he would get the virtue of paying Zakat.” Amirul Momineen (a.s.) says in his will, “By Allah, be careful about Zakat because it silences the anger of your Lord.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ حَصِّنُوا أَمْوَالَکُمْ بِالزَّکَاهِ وَ دَاوُوا مَرْضَاکُمْ بِالصَّدَقَهِ وَ مَا تَلِفَ مَالٌ فِی بَرٍّ وَ لَا بَحْرٍ إِلَّا بِمَنْعِ الزَّکَاهِ.

3. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “Protect your wealth with the help of Zakat. Cure the sick among you with the help of Sadaqah. And no wealth is lost in land or sea except of the one who does not pay Zakat.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَیَغْفِرُ لِلْحَاجِّ وَ لِأَهْلِ بَیْتِ الْحَاجِّ وَ لِعَشِیرَهِ الْحَاجِّ وَ لِمَنْ یَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْحَاجُّ بَقِیَّهَ ذِی الْحِجَّهِ وَ الْمُحَرَّمَ وَ صَفَرَ وَ شَهْرَ رَبِیعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَ عشر [عَشْراً] مِنْ رَبِیعٍ الْآخِرِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, forgives the sins committed during the month of Zilhajj, Muharram, Safar, Rabiul Awwal and first ten days of Rabius Sani by a pilgrim, his family, his relatives and by those for whom he seeks forgiveness.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ الْآدَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ حَجَّ یُرِیدُ بِهِ اللَّهَ لَا یُرِیدُ بِهِ رِیَاءً وَ لَا سُمْعَهً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْبَتَّهَ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “Allah forgives one who performs Hajj for Allah’s pleasure without the intention of showing it off to the people.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ کَانَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ ع یَقُولُ حُجُّوا وَ اعْتَمِرُوا تَصِحَّ أَجْسَامُکُمْ وَ تَتَّسِعْ أَرْزَاقُکُمْ وَ یَنْصَلِحْ إِیمَانُکُمْ وَ تُکْفَوْا مَؤُنَهَ عِیَالِکُمْ.

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) said, “Perform Hajj and Umrah so that your bodies remain healthy, earnings increase, your faith strengthens and the expenses of people and your family members are met through it.”

وَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ره عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَهْزِیَارَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ یَحْیَی بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَدْ وَطَّنْتُ نَفْسِی عَلَی لُزُومِ الْحَجِّ کُلَّ عَامٍ بِنَفْسِی أَوْ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَیْتِی بِمَالِی فَقَالَ وَ قَدْ عَزَمْتَ عَلَی ذَلِکَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِکَ فَأَیْقِنْ بِکَثْرَهِ الْمَالِ.

4. And it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan (rah) from Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Ali b. Mahziyar from Hamad b. Isa from Yahya b. Umar from Ishaq b. Ammar who said: “If that is so, you should remain assured that you will get excessive wealth. Glad tiding to you for excessive wealth.”

5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Whenever a pilgrim intends to go for a Hajj, Allah writes ten rewards for him, wipes his ten sins and increases his position by ten levels even before he has bought a single thing for his journey. When he intends to board the vehicle, Allah gives him the above mentioned reward even before he has set his foot on it. When he performs the circumambulation of the House of Allah his sins are wiped off. When he performs Saee between Safa and Marwa, he becomes pure of his sins. When he halts at Arafah, his sins vanish. When he camps in Mashar he comes out of his sins. When he performs stoning at Jimaraat, all his sins are wiped off. Similarly, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) narrated all the acts of Hajj and said that all these acts wipe the sins of a person. Then he said, “How can you reach the position of a Hajj pilgrim?”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ الْحَاجُّ إِذَا دَخَلَ مَکَّهَ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مَلَکَیْنِ یَحْفَظَانِ عَلَیْهِ طَوَافَهُ وَ صَلَاتَهُ وَ سَعْیَهُ فَإِذَا وَقَفَ بِعَرَفَهَ ضَرَبَا عَلَی مَنْکِبِهِ الْأَیْمَنِ ثُمَّ قَالا أَمَّا مَا مَضَی فَقَدْ کُفِیتَهُ فَانْظُرْ کَیْفَ تَکُونُ فِیمَا یَسْتَقْبِلُ.

6. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “When a Hajj pilgrim enters Mecca, Allah allots two angels for protecting him during circumambulation, Salaat and Saee. When he halts in Arafah, he is patted on his right shoulder and told, ‘Your past sins are forgiven. See how you spend your future life’.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ الثُّمَالِیِ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع تَرَکْتَ الْجِهَادَ وَ خُشُونَتَهُ وَ لَزِمْتَ الْحَجَّ وَ لِینَتَهُ قَالَ وَ کَانَ مُتَّکِئاً فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ وَیْحَکَ مَا بَلَغَکَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِی حِجَّهِ الْوَدَاعِ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا هَمَّتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغِیبَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَا بِلَالُ قُلْ لِلنَّاسِ فَلْیُنْصِتُوا فَلَمَّا أَنْصَتُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ رَبَّکُمْ تَطَوَّلَ عَلَیْکُمْ فِی هَذَا الْیَوْمِ فَغَفَرَ لِمُحْسِنِکُمْ وَ شَفَّعَ مُحْسِنَکُمْ فِی مُسِیئِکُمْ فَأَفِیضُوا مَغْفُوراً لَکُمْ وَ ضَمِنَ لِأَهْلِ التَّبِعَاتِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ الرِّضَا.

7. A person told Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.), “You did not perform Jihad as it was difficult and performed Hajj as it is easy.” Imam was resting his back against the wall. He sat up straight and said, “Woe be on you. The saying of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) at the time of the Last Hajj did not reach you. Surely, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) conveyed to people through Bilal at sunset to keep quiet. When people fell silent, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The Almighty Allah has made this day blessed for you. He has forgiven righteous among you and accepted their intercession for those who sinned. Go away for you are forgiven and you have gained the pleasure of Allah for those among you who were sinners.”

[حَدَّثَنِی حَمْزَهُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ره قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِیَهَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا أَفَاضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَلَقَّاهُ أَعْرَابِیٌّ فِی أَفْطَحَ فَقَالَ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّی خَرَجْتُ أُرِیدُ الْحَجَّ فَعَاقَنِی عَائِقٌ وَ أَنَا رَجُلٌ مَلِیٌّ کَثِیرُ الْمَالِ فَمُرْنِی مَا أَصْنَعُ فِی مَالِی مَا أَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَ الْحَاجُّ قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَی أَبِی قُبَیْسٍ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَا قُبَیْسٍ لَکَ زِنَهَ ذَهَبَهٍ حَمْرَاءَ أَنْفَقْتَهُ فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ مَا بَلَغْتَ مَا بَلَغَ الْحَاجُّ.

8. [it was narrated to me by Hamzah b. Muhammad (rah) who said I was informed by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Safwan b. Yahya and Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Muawiyah b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.)! I have come to perform Hajj but I am not able to do so because of some problem. I have wealth; tell me something, which I can do and gain the reward of performing Hajj.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) pointed at Mount Abu Qubais and replied, “If you have a quantity of red gold equal to Mount Abu Qubais and you spend it in the way of Allah then too you won’t get the reward of Hajj.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْحَاجُّ یَصْدُرُونَ عَلَی ثَلَاثِ أَصْنَافٍ صِنْفٌ یُعْتَقُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ صِنْفٌ یَخْرُجُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ کَهَیْئَهِ یَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَ صِنْفٌ یُحْفَظُ فِی أَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ فَذَاکَ أَدْنَی مَا یَرْجِعُ بِهِ الْحَاجُّ.

9. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The people who return from Hajj are of three types – some are freed from the fire of Hell, some become pure of their sins like they were on the day their mothers gave them birth and some protect their family and wealth. These are minimum benefits for a Hajj pilgrim.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ الْحَجُّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِتْقِ عَشْرِ رَقَبَاتٍ حَتَّی عَدَّ سَبْعِینَ رَقَبَهً وَ رَکْعَتَا الطَّوَافِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِتْقِ رَقَبَهٍ.

10. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “The reward of performing Hajj is more than freeing ten slaves.” Imam (a.s.) kept on counting till he said that the reward of the acts of Hajj is more than freeing seventy slaves and said that the reward of circumambulation and a two rakat prayer are equal to freeing a slave.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِیَهَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إن الله [لِلَّهِ] تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی حَوْلَ الْکَعْبَهِ عِشْرُونَ وَ مِائَهُ رَحْمَهٍ مِنْهَا سِتُّونَ لِلطَّائِفِینَ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ لِلْمُصَلِّینَ وَ عِشْرُونَ لِلنَّاظِرِینَ.

11. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Muawiyah b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Allah, the Blessed and the High, has positioned one hundred twenty bounties around Mecca. Out of that sixty are for those who perform circumambulation, forty for those who offer Salaat and twenty for the spectators.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی بَشِیرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَیْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ قَدِمْتَ حَاجّاً قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ تَدْرِی مَا لِلْحَاجِّ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِی جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ قَالَ مَنْ قَدِمَ حَاجّاً حَتَّی إِذَا دَخَلَ مَکَّهَ دَخَلَ مُتَوَاضِعاً فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ قَصَّرَ خُطَاهُ مَخَافَهَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی فَطَافَ بِالْبَیْتِ طَوَافاً وَ صَلَّی رَکْعَتَیْنِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ حَسَنَهٍ وَ حَطَّ عَنْهُ سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ سَیِّئَهٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ دَرَجَهٍ وَ شَفَّعَهُ فِی سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ حَاجَهٍ وَ حُسِبَتْ لَهُ عِتْقَ سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ رَقَبَهٍ قِیمَهُ کُلِّ رَقَبَهٍ عَشَرَهُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ.

12. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Ibn Abi Basheer from Mansur from Ishaq b. Ammar from Muhammad b. Muslim from Abi al-Hassan (a.s.) who said: “Every pilgrim should enter Mecca for Hajj with extreme humility. When he enters Masjidul Haraam, he should take small steps out of the fear of Allah. He should perform circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba and offer two rakat Salaat. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would note seventy thousand rewards for him, wipe his seventy thousand sins, increase his position seventy thousand levels, fulfill his seventy thousand wishes and grant him the reward of freeing seventy thousand slaves each costing ten thousand dirhams.”

13. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ja’far who said it was narrated to me by Sahl b. Ziyad from Muhammad b. Ismail from Sa’dan b. Muslim from Ishaq b. Ammar who said: “To one who fulfils a wish of a believer, Allah gives reward of Tawaaf, Tawaaf, Tawaaf…(he repeated it ten times).”

14. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ja’far who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. ’Imran from al-Hussain b. Yazid from Abi Hamzah from Abi al-Hassan Musa b. Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Hajj is a Jihad for our weak Shias.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا یَصْنَعُ اللَّهُ بِالْحَاجِّ قَالَ مَغْفُورٌ وَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ لَا أَسْتَثْنِی فِیهِ.

15. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Yazid from Sayf b. ’Umayra from Mansur b. Hazim who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “What will Allah do to pilgrims like us?” “He will forgive all without any exception.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ صَنْدَلٍ الْخَادِمِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْحَجُّ حَجَّانِ حَجٌّ لِلَّهِ وَ حَجٌّ لِلنَّاسِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ لِلَّهِ کَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عَلَی اللَّهِ الْجَنَّهَ وَ مَنْ حَجَّ لِلنَّاسِ کَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عَلَی النَّاسِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ.

16. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Yazid from Sandal the servant from Harun b. Kharija from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Hajj is of two types – for Allah and for people. One who performs Hajj for Allah would be rewarded by Him and He would give him Paradise on the Day of Judgment. One who performs Hajj for people should seek reward from them.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَضَّاحٍ عَنْ سَیْفٍ التَّمَّارِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ مَنْ حَجَّ یُرِیدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا یُرِیدُ بِهِ رِیَاءً وَ لَا سُمْعَهً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْبَتَّهَ.

17. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “One who performs Hajj only for Allah without any show off in his deed surely, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would forgive him.”

Ya’qub from al-Sadiq (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) willed to Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) at the time of his martyrdom, “I have performed twenty Hajjs on this she- camel and have not whipped it even once. When it dies, bury it, so that animals do not feed upon its flesh because I have heard the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) say that there is no camel who halts at Arafah during Hajj for seven years except that Allah makes it a camel of Paradise and blesses its progeny.” When this she-camel died, Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) buried it.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “A fasting person is considered to be in worship of Allah even though he may be asleep on his bed; but if he does not backbites a Muslim.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ الْیَعْقُوبِیِّ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نَوْمُ الصَّائِمِ عِبَادَهٌ وَ نَفَسُهُ تَسْبِیحٌ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The sleep of a fasting person is like worship and his breath is like glorification of Allah.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ الرَّازِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّازِیِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ سَمَّاکٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: نَوْمُ الصَّائِمِ عِبَادَهٌ وَ صَمْتُهُ تَسْبِیحٌ وَ عَمَلُهُ مُتَقَبَّلٌ وَ دُعَاؤُهُ مُسْتَجَابٌ.

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. Ahmad al-Razi from Abi Muhammad al-Razi from Ibrahim b. Sammak from al-Hussain b. Ahmad from his father from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The sleep of a fasting person is worship, his silence like the glorification of Allah, his deeds are accepted and his wishes, fulfilled.”

4. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah from Abdillah b. Sinan from al-Sadiq (a.s.) who said: “The smell of the mouth (breath) of a fasting person is dearer to Allah than the fragrance of musk.”

حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الرَّازِیُّ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَدَقَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلُ ع قِیلُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ یُطْعِمُ الصَّائِمَ وَ یَسْقِیهِ فِی مَنَامِهِ.

5. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) says, “Take a nap in forenoon; for Allah provides food and water to the fasting person in his sleep.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ بَیَانِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یُصْبِحُ صَائِماً فَیُشْتَمُ فَیَقُولُ إِنِّی صَائِمٌ سَلَامٌ عَلَیْکَ إِلَّا قَالَ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی اسْتَجَارَ عَبْدِی بِالصَّوْمِ مِنْ عَبْدِی أَجِیرُوهُ مِنْ نَارِی وَ أَدْخِلُوهُ جَنَّتِی.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his father that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “There is no man that fasts and is abused and in response he says: I am fasting, peace be on you, but that the Lord, the Blessed and the High says to His angels: ‘My slave took refuge with his fast from this person, you save him from My fire and make him enter My Paradise’.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِی الْجَوْزَاءِ الْمُنَبِّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِی هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی جُبَیْرٍ عَنْ أَبِی هُرَیْرَهَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَامَ یَوْماً فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ کَانَ کَعِدْلِ سَنَهٍ یَصُومُهَا.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who observes a fast in the way of Allah is like a person fasting for a whole year.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الرَّازِیُّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنْ بَکْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُنْذِرِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْیَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ صَامَ یَوْماً فِی الْحَرِّ فَأَصَابَهُ ظَمَأٌ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ أَلْفَ مَلَکٍ یَمْسَحُونَ وَجْهَهُ وَ یُبَشِّرُونَهُ حَتَّی إِذَا أَفْطَرَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَطْیَبَ رِیحَکَ وَ رَوْحَکَ مَلَائِکَتِی اشْهَدُوا أَنِّی قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who observes fast for a single day during summer and feels extremely thirsty, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime appoints a thousand angels to go to him, move their hands on his face and give him glad tidings. When he intends to end his fast, Allah says, ‘How good your soul and your smell are! O angels! I hold you witness that I have forgiven this person’.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ طَلْحَهَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِیٍّ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَامَ یَوْماً تَطَوُّعاً أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی الْجَنَّهَ.

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “If the last deed of a person in his life is a fast he would directly enter Paradise.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “If a person observing fast is present among those who are eating, the parts of his body glorify Allah and angels send salutations and seek peace for that person and the salutations of angels is forgiveness.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr al-Bazanti from Aban b. Uthman from Katheer al-Nawwa’ from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Nuh (a.s.) boarded his ark on the first of Rajab and ordered his companions to fast on that day. He said that Hell goes away to a distance of one year from one who fasts on this day. One who fasts for seven days all the seven doors of Hell would be closed for him. One who fasts for eight days all eight doors of Paradise would be opened for him. One who fasts for fifteen days would have his problems solved. One who fasts for more than this Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would grant him a greater reward.

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِیزِ الْمُهْتَدِی عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ مَوْلَی أَبِی الْحَسَنِ مُوسَی ع عَنْ أَبِیهِ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: رَجَبٌ نَهَرٌ فِی الْجَنَّهِ أَشَدُّ بَیَاضاً مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَ أَحْلَی مِنَ الْعَسَلِ مَنْ صَامَ یَوْماً مِنْ رَجَبٍ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِکَ النَّهَرِ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. al-Hussain b. Abd al-Aziz al-Muhtadi from Sayf b. al-Mubarik b. Yazid slave of Abi al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) from his father al-Mubarik from Abi al-Hassan who said: “Rajab is a river of Paradise whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. One who observes one fast in the month of Rajab, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would satisfy him with this river.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع رَجَبٌ شَهْرٌ عَظِیمٌ یُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ فِیهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ یَمْحُو فِیهِ السَّیِّئَاتِ مَنْ صَامَ یَوْماً مِنْ رَجَبٍ تَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ النَّارُ مَسِیرَهَ مِائَهِ سَنَهٍ وَ مَنْ صَامَ ثَلَاثَهَ أَیَّامٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّهُ.

3. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) says, “Rajab is a glorious month. Allah doubles good deeds and wipes the sins in this month. One who observes one fast in Rajab, Hell would go away from him to a distance of a year and Paradise would be made obligatory on one who fasts for three days.”

4. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “Know that Rajab is a great month of Allah. It is called Asam because there is no month so dear and excellent for Allah except this. It was respected even during the time of ignorance. When Islam arrived, it too increased the greatness and excellence of this month. Know that Rajab is the month of Allah, Shaban is my month and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah. Know that if a faithful person fasts seeking reward from Allah he has gained lots of pleasure of Allah. The fast of that person would end the anger of Allah upon him; a door of Hell would be closed for him. The reward of this fast with pure intention is better than giving an earth filled with gold as charity. No object in this world can make his reward complete except good deeds. As soon as night falls, Allah would fulfill his ten wishes. If he prays for worldly life his prayers would be accepted. One who prays for His friends, lovers and chosen people, Allah would accept his prayers. One who observes two fasts in the month of Rajab nothing in the earth and heavens can imagine the greatness of that person. He would get the reward of a truthful person who has never lied in his whole life-time. He would appear on the Day of Judgment in the similar state. That person would do intercession of others along with other truthful people till they all enter Paradise and settle down with those truthful persons. One who fasts for three days in Rajab, Allah would erect a barrier between him and Hell whose distance would be equal to travel of seventy years. Allah would say at the time of Iftar, ‘You have right upon Me and My love for you has become obligatory. O angels! I hold you witness that I have forgiven his sins from start till the end’. One who fasts for four days in the month of Rajab, he will remain safe from calamities like the evils of Jinns, leprosy, leucoderma, mischief of Dajjal and the punishment of grave. He would get the reward of wise persons who repent. He would be handed over the scroll of deeds in his right hand and made to stand in the first row of worshippers. One who fasts for five days in the month of Rajab it is the duty of Allah to please him on the Day of Judgment. His face would be shinning like the full moon when he is resurrected on the Day of Judgment. Rewards equal to the number of grains of sand would be written for him and he would be made to enter Paradise without any accounting. He would be given choice to ask whatever he wants from Allah. One who fasts for six days in the month of Rajab, his face would be brighter than sun when he is resurrected on the Day of Judgment. Apart from this, he would be given extra light, which would light up all those gathered on that day. He would be gathered along with protected people and would pass through the Sirat Bridge without any accounting. His sins as great as disobeying parents and breaking relations will be forgiven. One who fasts for seven days in the month of Rajab, Allah would close all seven doors of Hell for him and prohibit the fire of Hell for his body. One who fasts for eight days in the month of Rajab, Allah would open all eight doors of Paradise for him one by one and he would be given choice to enter Paradise from whichever door he wishes. One who fasts for nine days in Rajab would come out of his grave saying Laa ilaaha illallaah and would not see anything except Paradise. The light of his face would brighten the people gathered on that day and people would think of him as a prophet. The minimum reward given to him at that time is entrance to Paradise without any accounts. One who fasts for ten days in Rajab would be given two emerald wings decorated by illuminating pearls and rubies. He would enter Paradise flying over the Sirat Bridge with the help of these wings. He would be counted among the just and dear ones of Allah. He is like one who prayed for a hundred years with the pure intention of seeking reward from Allah. One who fasts for eleven days in Rajab, there would be no one greater in front of Allah than him except one who has fasted more than him. One who fasts for twelve days in Rajab would be made to wear two dresses of brocade and silk. If one of those dresses is brought to this world it would illuminate the world from east to west and scent the world with fragrance better than musk. One who observes thirteen fasts in Rajab, a table would be spread under the shade of the Divine throne and a number of eatables would be laid on it for him. The span of this table would be seventy times the area of this earth. Trays made of brocade and rubies will be laid on it. Every tray would have seventy thousand types of eatables each having distinct aroma and color. That person would have food from this table while others would be involved in a great difficulty. One who fasts for fourteen days in Rajab, Allah would grant him huge palaces made of pearls and rubies of such kind that eyes have neither seen nor ears heard about nor can a human mind imagine them. One who fasts for fifteen days in Rajab would stand at the place of faithful people. Every angel, messenger and apostle passing by him would say, ‘Congratulations, for you are in peace, near to Allah, honest, fortunate and happy and would rest in gardens’. One who fasts for sixteen days in Rajab would be among those who are first to ride upon the vehicles of bright light. He would fly from Paradise to the door of Mercy in these vehicles. One who observes seventeen fasts in Rajab, seventy thousand lamps would be illuminated for him at the Sirat Bridge so that he enters Paradise passing the bridge in the light of these lamps. Angels would welcome him saying, ‘Well done’ and ‘Peace be upon you’. One who fasts for eighteen days in Rajab would be given a place on the thrones made of pearls and rubies in the Minaret of Ibrahim in Paradise. One who fasts for nineteen days in the month of Rajab, Almighty Allah would construct a palace of pearls for him facing the palaces of Adam (a.s.) and Ibrahim (a.s.). He would salute them and they too would salute him and respect his position. He would be given the reward of a thousand fasts for each fast. One who observes fast for twenty days in Rajab it is as if he has worshipped Allah for a thousand years. One who fasts for twenty-one days in Rajab, on the Day of Judgment he would get to intercede for people numbering the sinners of Rabi and Mudhir tribes. One who fasts for twenty-two days in Rajab a caller would give call from heaven, ‘O friend of Allah! There are glad- tidings for you. There is great honor for you in Allah’s eyes. You are friend of prophets, truthful ones, martyrs and the virtuous upon whom Allah has revealed His bounties and mercy. They are your best friends’. One who fasts for twenty-three days in Rajab a call would be given from heaven, ‘O slave of Allah! You are fortunate. You have taken less pain and you are getting much more benefit. The veil is taken off from you. You are rewarded greatly by your Lord. You will be a neighbor of Khaleel (Prophet Ibrahim) in Darus Salaam. One who observes fast for twenty-four days in Rajab the Angel of death would come to him in the form of a handsome youth wearing a green brocade dress mounted on a green horse of Paradise. He would be holding a golden cup decorated with a green silk more fragrant than musk filled with the pure wine of Paradise. He would make that person drink that wine while taking his soul away. The difficulties at death-bed would be eased for him and his soul would be wrapped in green silk. Such a sweet fragrance would come out if it that all the inhabitants of seven heavens would be scented with it. He would remain satisfied in his grave as well as when he would be resurrected until he reaches the cistern of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.). One who fasts for twenty-five days in Rajab would be surrounded by seventy thousand angels, each holding an umbrella made of pearls and rubies when he is resurrected from the grave. They would have ornaments and excellent dresses. They would say, ‘O dear one of Allah! Let us go to Him soon’. Then he would go to Paradise first along with the dear ones of Allah. Indeed it is a great success. One who fasts for twenty-six days in Rajab the Almighty Allah would build a hundred palaces of pearls and rubies under the shade of His throne. There would be a tent made of red silk of Paradise in front of each palace. While people would be busy in accounting of their deeds, this person would rest over here peacefully. One who observes fast for twenty- seven days in Rajab, the Almighty Allah will expand his grave to the distance covered in four hundred years and the whole area would be fragranced with Amber and Musk. One who fasts for twenty-eight days in Rajab Allah would create a distance of nine barriers between him and the fire of Hell. The width of each barrier is equal to the distance covered in five hundred years between the earth and heaven. For a person who fasts for twenty-nine days in Rajab Allah would forgive him even if he would have robbed every man on the order of an unjust or even if she is a woman who has been unchaste seventy times. One who fasts for thirty days in the month of Rajab a caller would call out, ‘O slave of Allah! Your past sins are forgiven. Your deeds can have a new beginning’. Allah would grant him all the gardens and every garden would have forty thousand cities. Every city would have forty palaces and every palace would have forty thousand houses and every house will have forty thousand dining tables and every dining table would have forty thousand dishes and every dish would have forty thousand types of cuisines each having a distinct color and aroma. Every house will have forty thousand golden thrones and the span of those thrones would be equal to two thousand hands. A virgin Hoorul Ein would be seated on each throne having three hundred thousand dazzling hair on their heads and each lock of hair would be held by one thousand slave-girls who will be scenting it with musk and amber so that the person who fasted during Rajab comes near her. All this is for the person who fasted for the whole month of Rajab.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What should a person do who is not able to observe fast for the whole month due to weakness, menstruation or some other reason?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “They should give food to poor as charity. I swear by Him in Whose control is my life that they would get much more than what I have said if they give charity daily. All the creatures of this earth and the heavens cannot even estimate one-tenth of the reward, which that person would get in Paradise.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What should a person do who is not able to pay charity also?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “He should recite the following Tasbeeh of Allah a hundred times daily for thirty days in the month of Rajab: ‘Sub-h’aanal ilaahil jaleeli sub-h’aana mallaa yambaghit tasbeeh’u illaa lahu sub-h’aanal a-a’zzil akrami sub-h’aana mallabisal i’zza wahuwa lahu ahl’.

5. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. al-Hassan b. al-Saqr from Abi Tahir Muhammad b. Hamzah b. al-Yasaa’ from al-Hassan b. Bakkar from Abi al-Hassan al-Ridha (a.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah appointed Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) as His Apostle after three nights of the month of Rajab had passed. Hence observing fast on this day has reward equal to fasting seventy years.” Saad bin Abdullah says that according to our elders, there is a mistake and the real saying is that Allah appointed him as apostle when three nights were left in the month of Rajab.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Ya’qub b. Yazid from al-Huseen b. Yazid al-Makharaki al-Kufi from Abi Janadah al-Saluli from Abi Hamzah al-Thumali from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “I asked the Imam as to what he meant by that defect.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It is the oath of Allah’s disobedience.” I asked, “What is the meaning of that anger?” He replied, “Taking an oath out of anger and then repenting it.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ أَبِی السَّمْرَاءِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ قَالَ: جَرَی ذِکْرُ شَعْبَانَ عِنْدَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ صَوْمِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِیهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ کَذَا وَ کَذَا وَ فِیهِ کَذَا وَ کَذَا حَتَّی إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَیَدْخُلُ فِی الدَّمِ الْحَرَامِ فَیَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ فَیَنْفَعُهُ ذَلِکَ وَ یُغْفَرُ لَهُ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Abdul-Jabbar from Abi al-Samraa from Ismail b. Abd al-Khaliq who said: “The fast of Shaban would benefit him a lot; even if he has murdered a respected person he would be forgiven.”

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Muhammad b. Sinan from al-Muffadhal b. Umar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who fasts continuously from Shaban to the month of Ramadan then by Allah, these fasts would be counted among repentance of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الزُّرْبِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَرْحُومٍ الْأَزْدِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ مَنْ صَامَ أَوَّلَ یَوْمٍ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ صَامَ یَوْمَیْنِ نَظَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَیْهِ فِی کُلِّ یَوْمٍ وَ لَیْلَهٍ فِی دَارِ الدُّنْیَا وَ دَامَ نَظَرُهُ إِلَیْهِ فِی الْجَنَّهِ وَ مَنْ صَامَ ثَلَاثَهَ أَیَّامٍ زَارَ اللَّهَ فِی عَرْشِهِ مِنْ جَنَّتِهِ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ.

4. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “One who fasts on first of Shaban then surely, Paradise would be made obligatory for him. If he observes two fasts, the Almighty Allah would look at him with mercy in this world every day and night. He would also shower His mercy on him in Paradise. One who fasts for three days would get to visit Allah daily on the Divine throne in Paradise.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَهْزِیَارَ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ أَبِی زِیَادٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَعْبَانُ شَهْرِی وَ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرُ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ رَبِیعُ الْفُقَرَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْأَضْحَی لِشِبَعِ مَسَاکِینِکُمْ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ.

5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Shaban is my month and Ramadan is the month of Allah. It is spring for the poor. The Almighty Allah has made Eid-ul-Azha so that poor get to eat meat and hence you should perform Qurbani and offer meat to them.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ صَاحِبِ السَّابِرِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ صَوْمُ شَعْبَانَ وَ رَمَضَانَ وَ اللَّهِ تَوْبَهٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ.

6. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that he said, “By Allah, the fasts of Shaban and Ramadan are like repenting before Allah.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَهَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: کَانَ أَبِی ع یَفْصِلُ مَا بَیْنَ شَعْبَانَ وَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِیَوْمٍ وَ کَانَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ ع یَصِلُ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا وَ یَقُولُ صَوْمُ شَهْرَیْنِ مُتَتابِعَیْنِ تَوْبَهٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ.

7. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by al-Hussain b. al-Hassan b. Aban who said it was narrated to us by al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from his brother al-Hassan from Zur’a b. Muhammad from al-Muffadhal b. Umar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “My father used to take a day’s gap between the fasts of the months of Shaban and Ramadan. However Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) used to fast for two months continuously and used to say, ‘Fasting for these two months continuously is like repenting before Allah. These are the months of Allah and they compensate for the sins of the two months of past and present each’.”

8. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Umar b. Khalid from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to fast in the months of Shaban and Ramadan continuously. However he used to stop people from doing so.These are the months of Allah and they compensate for the sins of previous and next months.”

9. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Hafs b. al-Bukhtari from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The wives of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to put off their obligatory fasts, if any till the month of Shaban so that they do not act as barrier for his desires. As soon as Shaban arrived, they used to start observing fast and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) also used to observe fast. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to say, ‘Shaban is my month’.”

10. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Uthman b. Isa from Sama’a b. Mihran who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Did any of your ancestors fast during the month of Shaban?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes, my greatest ancestor the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) fasted in Shaban.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِی نَجْرَانَ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ یَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ صَوْمِ شَعْبَانَ- هَلْ کَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آبَائِکَ یَصُومُهُ فَقَالَ خَیْرُ آبَائِی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَکْثَرُ صِیَامِهِ فِی شَعْبَانَ.

11. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Abdulrahman b. Abi Najran from Yunis b. Ya’qub who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) about the month of Shaban, “Did any of your ancestors observe fast in these days?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “My greatest ancestor the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to observe many fasts during Shaban.”

Yunis who said it was narrated to us by Wakee’ from Sufyan from Zayd b. Aslam who said: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked regarding the fast of Rajab. He replied, “Why don’t you care for the fasts of Shaban?”

Qays al-Madani who said I was informed by Abu Sa’eed al-Muqri who said it was narrated to us by Usama b. Zayd who said: Usama bin Zaid says that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to fast so much that people used to say that you are always fasting and when he did not fast, people used to say that he won’t fast now. The narrator asked, “Is there any month in which the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to fast a lot?” He replied, “In the month of Shaban. Shaban is a month falling between Rajab and Ramadan. People are unaware of its excellence. The record of deeds of people is sent to Almighty Allah in this month. I wish I am fasting when my record of deeds is being sent.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِی حَاتِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ حَمْزَهَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا یَزِیدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِی صَدَقَهُ الرَّفِیقِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَیُّ الصِّیَامِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ شَعْبَانُ تَعْظِیماً لِرَمَضَانَ.

14. It was narrated to us by Ahmad b. al-Hassan al-’Attar who said it was narrated to us by Abdulrahman b. Abi Hatim who said it was narrated to us by al-Hajjaj b. Hamzah who said it was narrated to us by Yazid who said I was informed by Sadaqah al-Raqiqi who said it was narrated to us by Thabit from Anas who said: “The fasts of Shaban for the welcoming of Ramadan.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ یَزِیدَ الْعَبْدِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی غُنْدَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَیْبٌ عَنْ نَوْبَهَ الصَّیْمَرِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَهَ عَنْ أَبِی سَلَمَهَ أَنَّ النَّبِیَّ ص لَمْ یَکُنْ یَصُومُ مِنَ السَّنَهِ شَهْراً تَامّاً إِلَّا شَعْبَانَ یَصِلُ بِهِ رَمَضَانَ.

15. The narrator says that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) did not use to fast for a whole month except in Shaban, which he used to link with Ramadan.

16. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Ibrahim who said it was narrated to us by al-Hassan b. Muhammad al-Maroozi from his father from Yahya b. Abbas from Ali b. ’Amir al-Wasiti who said I was informed by ’Ata b. al-Sayib from Sa’eed b. Jubayr from Ibn ’Amir who said: “One who fasts for one day in Shaban, Allah writes from him seventy rewards and each reward will be equal to that of worshipping Allah for a year. One who fasts for two days, He would save him from those sins, which destroy a person. One who fasts for three days, his position in Paradise would increased by seventy levels with pearls and rubies. One who fasts for four days in Paradise his earnings would increase greatly. One who fasts for five days would be loved by the people. One who fasts for six days, Allah would keep away seventy types of calamities from him. One who fasts for seven days he would remain safe from the mischief and evil thoughts of Satan and his gangs. One who fasts for eight days won’t go thirsty from this world and would be satisfied by a pure cistern. One who fasts for nine days, Munkir and Nakir would be lenient with him while questioning in the grave. One who fasts for ten days his grave would expand by seventy spans. One who fasts for eleven days his grave would be lit up by eleven minarets of light. One who fasts for twelve days seventy thousand angels would visit his grave every day till the Day of Judgment. One who fasts for thirteen days angels of all seven heavens would repent for him. One who fasts for fourteen days all the terrestrial and aquatic animals will be ordered to seek forgiveness for him. One who fasts for fifteen days, the Almighty Allah calls out, ‘I assure you by My Honor that I won’t burn you in the fire of Hell’. One who fasts for sixteen days, seventy rivers of fire will be extinguished for him. One who fasts for seventeen days all the doors of Hell would be closed for him. One who fasts for eighteen days in Shaban all the doors of Paradise would be opened for him. One who fasts for nineteen days would be given seventy thousand palaces made of pearls and rubies in Paradise. One who fasts for twenty days would be married to seventy thousand Hoorul Ein. One who fasts for twenty-one, days angels would congratulate him and keep moving their wings on his body. One who fasts for twenty-two days would be made to wear seventy thousand dresses made of satin and brocade. One who fasts for twenty-three days would be made to sit on a bright mount and roam throughout Paradise. One who fasts for twenty-four days would intercede for seventy thousand people who believed in the Oneness of Allah. One who fasts for twenty-five days hypocrisy would be kept away from him. One who fasts for twenty-six days Allah would give him permit to pass through the Sirat Bridge. One who fasts for twenty-seven days Allah orders to give him freedom from Hell. One who fasts for twenty-eight days his face would be illuminated and light would emanate from his face. One who fasts for twenty-nine days Almighty Allah would please him. One who fasts for thirty days in Shaban Jibraeel (a.s.) would stand in front of Divine throne and call out, ‘O person! Your deeds have a new beginning for your pasts sins have been forgiven’. The Almighty Allah would say, ‘I would forgive you even if the number of your sins is equal to the number of stars in the skies, or drops of rain, or leaves of trees, or grains of sand, or drops of dew or number of days of the world. This reward and forgiveness for fasting in the month of Shaban is not much for Allah.” Ibne Abbas says that this reward is for the month of Shaban only.

1. My father narrated to me, he said: Sa'd b. Abdullah narrated to us, he said: Ahmad b. Muhammad narrated to us, from al-Husayn b. Sa'eed, from Ibn Abi 'Umayr, he said: Ahmad b. al-Nadr al-Khazzaz narrated to me, from 'Amr b. Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far (AS), he said: "O Jabir! Whoever enters the month of Ramadan and fasts its days, stands in prayer during its nights, guards his chastity, guards his tongue, lowers his gaze, and refrains from harming others, he will emerge free of sins as the day his mother bore him." I said: "May I be your ransom! How excellent is this hadith!" He said: "How stringent is its condition."

2. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan narrated to us, saying: Al-Husayn b. al-Hasan b. Aban narrated to us, from al-Husayn b. Saʻeed, from al-Husayn b. ʻUlwan, from ʻAmr b. Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Jaʻfar (as) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SW), upon seeing the crescent moon of Ramadan, would turn towards the Qiblah and say: اللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَیْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ الْإِیمَانِ وَ السَّلَامَهِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ الْعَافِیَهِ الْمُجَلِّلَهِ وَ الرِّزْقِ الْوَاسِعِ وَ دَفْعِ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ تِلَاوَهِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْعَوْنِ عَلَی الصَّلَاهِ وَ الصِّیَامِ اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنَا لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ سَلِّمْهُ لَنَا وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا حَتَّی یَنْقَضِیَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا "O Allah! Let it bring us security, faith, safety, Islam, abundant sustenance, prevention of diseases, Quranic recitation, assistance in prayers and fasting. O Allah! Safeguard us for the month of Ramadan, safeguard it for us, and accept it from us until the month of Ramadan completes and You forgive us.” Then he would turn to the people and say: 'O Muslims! When the crescent of the month of Ramadan appears, the rebellious devils are shackled, the gates of heavens, the gates of Paradise, and the gates of Mercy are opened, and the gates of Hellfire are closed, and supplications are answered. A large number of people are freed by Allah at the time of Iftar daily. A caller calls out every night, “Is there anyone who has a wish, Is there any seeker of forgiveness? O Allah! Reward everyone who spends in Your way and ruin the wealth of every miser till the moon of the month of Shawwal appears.” Abu Jaʻfar (as) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, it is not the day of receiving the dinars and dirhams."

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar from Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Ahmad b. Hilal from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr from Aban from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: "When the Prophet (sw) returned from 'Arafat and proceeded to Mina, he entered the mosque, and people gathered around him asking about the Night of Qadr. He stood as a preacher and said, after praising Allah, 'Now then, which of you asked me about the Night of Qadr? I did not withhold it from you because I did not know about it. Know, O people, that whoever witnesses the month of Ramadan while being healthy and sound, fasts during its days, spends a portion of its nights in prayer, maintains his prayers, attends the Friday prayers, and sets out for the Eid prayer, has indeed attained the Night of Qadr and has earned the reward of the Lord.’ <br>Then Abu Abdullah (as) said: 'By Allah, he has earned rewards that are unlike the rewards given by people.'"

4. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says that the month of Ramadan was nearing and three days of Shaban were left when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) told Bilal (r.a.) to call people to him. When people came, the Holy Prophet mounted the pulpit and praised and glorified the Lord. Then he said, “The month, which you are going to have now is supreme among all other months. There is a night in this month, which is better than a thousand months. The doors of Hell are closed in this month and the doors of Paradise are opened. One who is not forgiven in this month also Allah distances him. Similarly, a person has parents and is not able to get himself forgiven Allah distances him. One who does not recite Salawat when my name is mentioned in front of him, his salvation is not possible and Allah distances him.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَیْدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِیٍّ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا حَضَرَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَی عَلَیْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَیُّهَا النَّاسُ کَفَاکُمُ اللَّهُ عَدُوَّکُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ قَالَ ادْعُونِی أَسْتَجِبْ لَکُمْ وَ وَعَدَکُمُ الْإِجَابَهَ أَلَا وَ قَدْ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِکُلِّ شَیْطَانٍ مَرِیدٍ سَبْعَهً مِنْ مَلَائِکَتِهِ فَلَیْسَ بمخلوق [بِمَحْلُولٍ] حَتَّی یَنْقَضِیَ شَهْرُکُمْ هَذَا أَلَا وَ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ مُفَتَّحَهٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِ لَیْلَهٍ مِنْهُ أَلَا وَ الدُّعَاءُ فِیهِ مَقْبُولٌ.

5. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from al-Hussain b. Alwan from ’Amru b. Shimr from ’Amru b. Khalid from Zayd b. Ali from his forefathers from Ali (a.s.) who said: ‘Call upon Me, I will answer you’. You have been given the assurance of acceptance of supplications. Seven angels are appointed for arresting each Satan so that none can overpower you till the end of this month. Know that, the doors of heaven are opened from the first night of Ramadan and that the supplications in this month are always accepted.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ جَمِیلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِی کُلِّ لَیْلَهٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عُتَقَاءَ وَ طُلَقَاءَ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ أَفْطَرَ عَلَی مُسْکِرٍ فَإِذَا کَانَ آخِرُ لَیْلَهٍ مِنْهُ أَعْتَقَ فِیهَا مِثْلَ مَا أَعْتَقَ فِی جَمِیعِهِ.

6. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Surely, the Almighty Allah frees a large number of people on every night of the month of Ramadan. However one who concludes his fast with an intoxicant won’t be freed. The number of people freed in one night of the month of 2 Surah Momin 40:60 Ramadan is equal to the number of people freed in all the past nights.”

7. And it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari who said it was narrated to us by al-Hassan b. Mahbub al-Zarrad who said it was narrated to us by Abu Ayoob’ from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Allah is Merciful and He grant this reward to that person also who gives a little milk or a glass of drink or a few dates to others for Iftar. A person who is kind to slaves in this month, the Almighty Allah would be kind to him in accounting of his deeds. This is a month whose beginning is with mercy, middle is forgiveness and the end is with acceptance of supplications and freedom from Hell. There are four characteristics, which you cannot avoid. With two of them, you can please Allah and you cannot neglect the other two also. They are bearing witness that there is no lord except Allah and that I am His Messenger. And the two things, which you cannot avoid, are that you seek Paradise and protection against the fire of Hell from Allah.”

9. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says at the end of a lengthy tradition, “In the month of Ramadan, the doors of heavens are opened, satans are shackled in chains and the deeds of believers are accepted. Ramadan is an excellent month. It was also called the al-Marzooq (a month in which bounties are given) during the time of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).”

10. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to us by Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Muhammad b. al-Hakam the brother of Hisham from ’Amru b. Yazid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The freedom from the fire of Hell is assured by Allah during the nights of Ramadan except for a person who concludes his fast with an intoxicant or one who is malicious and one who possesses Shaheen.” The narrator asked, “What is this Shaheen?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Chess.”

11. The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.), “Allah says, ‘Surely We revealed it (Quran) on a blessed night’,so which is that blessed night?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It is the night of Qadr (power), which is one of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. The Holy Quran was revealed in the night of Qadr only. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime says, ‘The fate of everything would be decided by the Divine order in this night’. All the good and bad, obedience and disobedience, birth and death, earnings etc. are decided by the Will of Allah for the whole year in this night only.” The narrator asked, “What is the meaning of verse: ‘The grand night is better than a thousand months’?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The reward of good deeds performed in this night is better than that of doing the same for a thousand months without the night of Qadr. If the Almighty Allah wouldn’t have multiplied the reward for a believer they wouldn’t have got it but He multiplies the reward for them.”

Eat and drink for there is no fear or sorrow for you. O Ummah of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.)! I swear by My Honor that I would surely send you to Paradise. The first and last communities would be surprised on seeing you and you would be given an illuminated crown and you would be made to ride a camel created from light, whose bridles will be of light. There will be a thousand circles on it and an angel would be standing on each circle holding a pillar of light in his hand and you will be made to enter Paradise without any accounting of deeds.

The door of Paradise named Rayyaan, which will not open till Qiyamat would be opened for the men and women of the Ummah of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) who observe fast and Rizwan, the treasurer of Paradise would give a call, ‘O Ummah of Muhammad! Move towards Rayyan.’ Then my people will enter this door into Paradise. Thus one who could not be forgiven in this month will not be forgiven in any other month. There is no power or strength except with the Greatest Lord!’

Abbas who said: It is narrated from Ibne Abbas that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to free every prisoner and give (material help) to every beggar as soon as the month of Ramadan approached.

1. It is narrated that Ali (a.s.) used to recite this blessed supplication during the first ten days of Zilhajj. He used to say that if one recites the supplication: ‘Laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dadal layaalee wadduhoori laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dada amwaajil buh’oori laa ilaaha illallaahu wa rah’matuhu khairum mimmaa yaj-maoo’na laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dadash shauki wash shajari laa ilaaha illallaaha illallaahu a’dadash sha’ri wal wabari laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dadal h’ajari wal madari laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dada lamh’il u’yooni laa ilaaha illallaahu fil laili idhaa a’s-a’s wa fis’ s’ub- h’i idhaa tanaffasa laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dadar riyaah’i fil baraariyyi was’ s’ukhoori laa ilaaha illallaahu minal yaumi ilaa yaumi yunfakhu fis’ s’oor’ ten times during these ten days the Almighty Allah would reward him a rank equaling pearls and rubies in Paradise for each Tahleel. There would be a distance equal to that of traveling a hundred years on a fast vehicle between each rank. There would be a city on each level having a castle made of precious stone and those cities won’t be cut off from each other. They would have surrounding walls, forts, high-rises, houses, wives, beds, Hoorul Ein, food laid on tables, servants, rivers, trees, ornaments and dresses. No one can describe them. When that person comes out of grave, each and every hair on his body would be illuminated and seventy thousand angels would surround him and walk with him till the door of Paradise. When this person enters Paradise, the angels would follow him until they reach the city, whose outer appearance would be like that of a ruby and it would be like green emerald from inside. It will have all sorts of things created by Allah in Paradise. When they reach here, he would be told, “O loved one of Allah! Do you know which city is this and what all things it has?” He would reply, “I don’t know but who are you?” They would say, “We are angels. When you recited Laa ilaaha illallaah in the world, we saw you and this city along with the servants is for you. You would be given a better reward from the Almighty Allah. You will see in Darus Salaam, the neighborhood of Allah what He has given you. You will see that this reward would never be taken back.” The narrator says that one must recite this supplication much so that one is rewarded more.

1. It is narrated that there was a rich man. When he saw the moon of Zilhajj, he observed fast on the next day. When this news reached the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.), he called that person and asked, “Why did you observe fast on that day?” He replied, “May my parents be sacrificed on you, these are the days of Mash-a’r and Hajj. I hope Allah includes me also in their prayers.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “You will get the reward of freeing a slave, sacrificing a hundred camels and carrying the load on a hundred horses in the way of Allah for each fast. When Yaum-e-Tarweeya (8th Zilhajj) arrives you will get the reward of freeing a thousand slaves, sacrificing a thousand camels and carrying load in the way of Allah on a thousand horses. You will get the reward of freeing two thousand slaves, sacrificing two thousand camels and carrying load in the way of Allah on two thousand horses for the fast of the day of Arafah. All these are compensation for the sins of sixty years before and after it, in your life.”

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to us by Musa b. ’Umayr from Ali b. al-Hakam from Ahmad b. Zayd from Musa b. Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who fasts on the first day of Zilhajj Almighty Allah would note down the reward of the fasts of eighty months for him. If he observes fast for nine days Allah would note the reward of fasts of an age for him.”

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from some of his companions from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The fast on the day of Tarweeya is a compensation for sins committed in a year and the fast on the day of Arafah is a compensation for sins committed in two years.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to us by Ibrahim b. Hashim from al-Qasim b. Yahya from his grandfather al-Hassan b. Rashid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Observe fast on this day and recite Durood on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny in excess. Also keep away from those people who troubled them and denied their rights. Prophets used to order to observe the day of appointment of their successor as Eid.” He asked, “What is the reward of a person fasting on this day?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “He would get the reward of fasting for sixty months. Similarly don’t leave the fast on 27th Rajab for the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was appointed as prophet on this day and its reward is also equal to the fasts of sixty months.”

2. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Isa from Ali b. Sulayman b. Yusif al-Bazaz from al-Qasim b. Yahya from his grandfather al-Hassan b. Rashid who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Is there any other Eid for Muslims except the two Eids and Friday?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes, here is an Eid greater than them; the day when Amirul Momineen (a.s.) was appointed as caliph and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) had made his love compulsory on believing men and women at Ghadeer-e- Khum. A good deed performed on this day is equal to the deeds of eighty months. Muslims should remember Allah in excess on this day and recite Durood and Salaam on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) many times and give more for the expenses of his family members.”

1. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Ibrahim who said it was narrated to us by Ibn Sahl Harun b. Muhammad Zanjalah who said it was narrated to us by Abu al-Abbas Ahmad b. Hameed who said it was narrated to us by Abu Salih from Sa’d b. Sa’eed from Abi Tayyibah from Nur b. Wabarah from al-Rabee’ b. Khatheem from Abdillah b. Mas’ud from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) from Jibra’il from Israfeel from His Lord May He be glorified and exalted that he said: ‘and ask His forgiveness; surely He is oft-returning (to mercy).’ This gift is special to me and my Ummah. The prophets and their people before me did not get this gift.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِیلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَخْتَوَیْهُ بْنُ شَبِیبٍ الْبَاهِلِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ التَّیْمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِیِّ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِیِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یُصَلِّی لَیْلَهَ الْعِیدِ سِتَّ رَکَعَاتٍ إِلَّا شُفِّعَ فِی أَهْلِ بَیْتِهِ کُلِّهِمْ وَ إِنْ کَانُوا قَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَهُمُ النَّارُ قَالُوا فَلِمَ ذَاکَ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْمُحْسِنَ لَا یَحْتَاجُ إِلَی الشَّفَاعَهِ إِنَّمَا الشَّفَاعَهُ لِکُلِّ هَالِکٍ وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ یَقْرَأُ فِی کُلِّ رَکْعَهٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ.

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who offers a six rakat Salaat on the eve of Eid would be able to intercede for all members of his family even if they be condemned to Hell.” The narrator asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Why will the intercession of sinners be accepted?” He replied, “Virtuous do not need intercession. They are sinners who need it much.” Muhammad bin Husain (Shaykh Sadooq) says that one should recite Surah Tauheed five times in each rakat of the above-mentioned prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَیْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ الْفَارِسِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَحْیَا لَیْلَهَ الْعِیدِ لَمْ یَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ یَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who remains awake during the night of Eid his heart would remain alive on the day the hearts are destined to die.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَغْدَادِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا یَحْیَی بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْمِصْرِیُّ بِمِصْرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُکَیْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ فَضَالَهَ عَنْ عِیسَی بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ الْخُدْرِیِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ کُرْدُوسٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَحْیَا لَیْلَهَ الْعِیدِ وَ لَیْلَهَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ لَمْ یَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ یَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ.

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who stays awake during the night of Eid and of 15th Shaban his heart would remain alive on the day the hearts are destined to die.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الطُّوسِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَکَمُ عَنْ سَعِیدِ بْنِ بَشِیرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَهَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَ خَتَمَهُ بِصَدَقَهٍ وَ غَدَا إِلَی الْمُصَلَّی بِغُسْلٍ رَجَعَ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who fasts during the month of Ramadan, ends it with charity and goes to prayer-mat after taking ritual bath he would be forgiven before he gets up from the prayer-mat.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَبُو یَعْقُوبَ الْقَزَّازُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یُوسُفَ إِمْلَاءً قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَیْثٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّخَعِیُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ أَبِی [زِیَادٍ] عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ التَّیْمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِیِّ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ره قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّی أَرْبَعَ رَکَعَاتٍ یَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ بَعْدَ صَلَاهِ الْإِمَامِ یَقْرَأُ فِی أَوَّلِهِنَ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّکَ الْأَعْلَی فَکَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَ جَمِیعَ الْکُتُبِ کُلَّ کِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ فِی الرَّکْعَهِ الثَّانِیَهِ وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحاها فَلَهُ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ مَا طَلَعَتْ عَلَیْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ فِی الثَّالِثَهِ وَ الضُّحی فَلَهُ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ کَأَنَّمَا أَشْبَعَ جَمِیعَ الْمَسَاکِینِ وَ دَهَّنَهُمْ وَ نَظَّفَهُمْ وَ فِی الرَّابِعَهِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثَلَاثِینَ مَرَّهً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذَنْبَ خَمْسِینَ سَنَهً مُسْتَقْبِلَهً وَ خَمْسِینَ سَنَهً مُسْتَدْبِرَهً.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who offers a four rakat Salaat after Eid congregational prayer reciting Surah Aa’la in the first rakat it would be as if he has recited all the books revealed by Allah. If he recites Surah Shams in the second rakat he would get the reward equal to the number of things on which the rays of sun fall. If he recites Surah Zuha in the third rakat he would get the reward of feeding all the poor, cleaning and scenting them. If he recites Surah Tauheed ten times in the fourth rakat Allah would forgive the sins committed by him during past and future fifty years. Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali, the writer of the book says that this reward is for the person who remained in Taqayyah and offered Salaat behind the Imam of other sect; then he should offer the above-mentioned Salaat with the intention of Eid prayer. One who prays behind an Imam appointed by Allah whose obedience is compulsory cannot offer any Salaat till noon. If one offers Salaat behind an Imam of one’s own sect (whose obedience is not compulsory) then too there is no need to offer any Salaat till noon.

مَا حَدَّثَنِی بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَیْنَهَ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ لَمْ یُصَلِّ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فِی جَمَاعَهٍ یَوْمَ الْعِیدِ فَلَا صَلَاهَ لَهُ وَ لَا قَضَاءَ عَلَیْهِ.

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “For one who does not offer Salaat-e-Eid in congregation there is no Salaat or its Qaza obligatory for him.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ سَمَاعَهَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا صَلَاهَ فِی الْعِیدَیْنِ إِلَّا مَعَ إِمَامٍ فَإِنْ صَلَّیْتَ وَحْدَکَ فَلَا بَأْسَ.

2. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Uthman b. Isa from Sama’a b. Mihran from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Salaat of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid- e-Qurbaan can be offered only in congregation. However if one wishes to offer it alone there is no harm in it.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ یَحْیَی وَ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَا صَلَاهَ یَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَ الْأَضْحَی إِلَّا مَعَ إِمَامٍ.

3. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “Salaat of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-e-Qurbaan can be offered only in congregation.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ الْحَلَبِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلَاهِ الْعِیدَیْنِ هَلْ قَبْلَهُمَا صَلَاهٌ أَوْ بَعْدَهُمَا قَالَ لَیْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا شَیْ ءٌ.

4. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Muhammad b. Sinan from Abdillah b. Sinan al-Halabi from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Is there any Salaat before or after the Salaat of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-e- Qurban?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “No, neither before nor after.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ حَرِیزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الصَّلَاهِ فِی الْفِطْرِ وَ الْأَضْحَی قَالَ لَیْسَ فِیهِمَا أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَهٌ وَ لَیْسَ بَعْدَ الرَّکْعَتَیْنِ وَ لَا قَبْلَهُمَا صَلَاهٌ.

5. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Hamad b. Isa from Hareez from Muhammad b. Muslim who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) regarding Salaat of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-e-Qurban. Imam (a.s.) replied, “There is no Azaan or Iqamah for them and there is no Salaat before and after these two rakats.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: صَلَاهُ الْعِیدَیْنِ رَکْعَتَانِ لَیْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا شَیْ ءٌ.

6. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Salaat of Eid-ul-fitr and Eid- e-Qurban consists of two rakats and there is no Salaat before and after it.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: صَلَاهُ الْعِیدَیْنِ رَکْعَتَانِ لَیْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا شَیْ ءٌ. وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَیْنَهَ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَیْسَ یَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَ لَا یَوْمَ الْأَضْحَی أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَهٌ أَذَانُهُمَا طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ خَرَجُوا وَ لَیْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا صَلَاهٌ وَ مَنْ لَمْ یُصَلِّ مَعَ إِمَامٍ فِی جَمَاعَهٍ فَلَا صَلَاهَ لَهُ وَ لَا قَضَاءَ عَلَیْهِ.

7. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “There is no Azaan or Iqamah for Salaat of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-e-Qurban. Sunrise is their Azaan. As soon as sun rises, people should come out of their houses for Salaat. There is no Salaat before these two prayers. For one who does not pray these prayers in congregation no prayer is obligatory on him nor he has to offer their Qaza.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Salih b. al-Sindi from Ibn Sinan from a man from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Ending the fast with water washes the sins of the heart.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِیلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَصُومُ حَتَّی یُقَالَ لَا یُفْطِرُ ثُمَّ صَامَ یَوْماً وَ أَفْطَرَ یَوْماً ثُمَّ صَامَ الْإِثْنَیْنِ وَ الْخَمِیسَ ثُمَّ آلَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ إِلَی صِیَامِ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ- خَمِیسٍ فِی أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ وَ أَرْبِعَاءَ فِی وَسَطِ الشَّهْرِ وَ خَمِیسٍ فِی آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ وَ کَانَ یَقُولُ ذَاکَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ وَ قَدْ کَانَ أَبِی ع یَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلَیَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ یُقَالُ لَهُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَفْعَلُ کَذَا وَ کَذَا فَیَقُولُ لَا یُعَذِّبُنِی اللَّهُ عَلَی أَنْ أَجْتَهِدَ فِی الصَّلَاهِ کَأَنَّهُ یَرَی أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص تَرَکَ شَیْئاً مِنَ الْفَضْلِ عَجْزاً عَنْهُ.

1. Muhammad bin Musa al-Mutawakkil narrated to me, from Abdullah bin Ja'far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin 'Isa, form al-Hassan bin Mahbub, from Jamil bin Salih, from Muhammad bin Marwan, from abu 'Abdillah (a.s.) who said: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) used to fast until it was said he does not break his fast (he does not eat). Then he would fast for a day and break his fast on another day. After that, he would fast on Monday and Thursday. Furthermore, he would fast on three days in the month – Thursday in the start of the month, Wednesday in the middle of the month, and Thursday in the end of the month. He used to say, 'This is the perpetual fasting.'" My father (AS) used to say, "No one is more detestable to me than a man who is told that the Messenger of Allah (sw) used to do so-and-so, and he says, 'Allah will not punish me for doing ijtihad in prayer,' as if he sees that the Messenger of Allah (sw) has left some excellent deeds due to weakness."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع صِیَامُ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ وَ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی کُلِّ شَهْرٍ یَذْهَبْنَ بِبَلَابِلِ الصُّدُورِ وَ صِیَامُ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی کُلِّ شَهْرٍ صِیَامُ الدَّهْرِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ فِی کِتَابِهِ- مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَهِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثالِها

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “The fasts of the month of Patience (Ramadan) and three fasts of a month keep the evil-thoughts away from one’s heart. The three fasts of a month are equal to the fasts of an age for Allah says in His book, “Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it.”9

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنِ الصِّیَامِ فِی الشَّهْرِ کَیْفَ هُوَ فَقَالَ ثَلَاثَهُ أَیَّامٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ فِی کُلِّ عَشَرَهِ أَیَّامٍ یَوْماً إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ فِی کِتَابِهِ- مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَهِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثالِها ثَلَاثَهُ أَیَّامٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ.

3. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Abi Basir who said: The narrator asked Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.), “How can one gain the reward of fasting for a month?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “By observing fast for three days of every month because the Almighty Allah has said that one who does a good deed would get ten rewards for it. Hence observing fast for three days of a month is equal to fasting for an age.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَیْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنِ الْأَحْوَلِ عَمَّنْ ذَکَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ خَمِیسَیْنِ بَیْنَهُمَا أَرْبِعَاءُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْخَمِیسُ فَیَوْمٌ تُعْرَضُ فِیهِ الْأَعْمَالُ وَ أَمَّا الْأَرْبِعَاءُ فَیَوْمٌ خُلِقَتْ فِیهِ النَّارُ وَ أَمَّا الصَّوْمُ فَجُنَّهٌ.

4. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked about fasting on two Thursdays and a Wednesday in between them. He replied, “The specialty of Thursday is that one’s deeds are presented on this day while 9 Surah Anaam 6:160 Wednesday is characterized by the creation of Hell on this day. Hence a fast on Wednesday is shield against Hell.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ حَرِیزٍ قَالَ: قِیلَ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا جَاءَ فِی صَوْمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ فَقَالَ قَالَ عَلِیٌّ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ النَّارَ یَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ فَأَحَبَّ صَوْمَهُ لِیُتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ.

5. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Hamad b. Isa from Hareez who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) was asked regarding fasting on Wednesday. He replied that Ali (a.s.) used to say, “The Almighty Allah created Hell on Wednesday. He likes the person fasting on this day seeking protection against the fire of Hell.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی أَخِی مُغَلِّسٍ الصَّیْرَفِیِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ صَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّی قِیلَ مَا یُفْطِرُ وَ أَفْطَرَ حَتَّی قِیلَ مَا یَصُومُ ثُمَّ صَامَ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ ع یَوْماً وَ یَوْماً ثُمَّ قُبِضَ ص عَلَی صَوْمِ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ وَ قَالَ یَعْدِلْنَ الدَّهْرَ وَ یَذْهَبْنَ بِوَحَرِ الصَّدْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ وَ أَیُّ أَیَّامٍ هِیَ فَقَالَ أَوَّلُ خَمِیسٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ وَ أَوَّلُ أَرْبِعَاءَ بَعْدَ الْعَشْرِ مِنْهُ وَ آخِرُ خَمِیسٍ مِنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ صَارَتْ هَذِهِ الْأَیَّامُ قَالَ لِأَنَّ مَنْ کَانَ قَبْلَنَا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْعَذَابُ نَزَلَ فِی هَذِهِ الْأَیَّامِ فَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَذِهِ الْأَیَّامَ کُلَّهَا لِأَنَّهَا الْأَیَّامُ الْمَخُوفَهُ.

6. It is narrated by Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to fast so much that people used to say that he does not miss any fast. Then he used to discontinue observing fast for so many days that people used to say that he does not observe fast. Then he started observing fast for alternate days like Dawood (a.s.). When he passed away from this world, he was fasting (one of the three fasts of a month). He said that these fasts are equal to the fasts of an age and it kills the evil thoughts arising in one’s heart.” The narrator asked, “May I be sacrificed on you, what are those days?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “First Thursday of every month, the Wednesday coming after first ten days of a month and last Thursday of the month?” The narrator asked, “Why are these days selected?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The communities before us had to bear the chastisement on these days. Hence the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to fast during these days and they are the days of fearing Allah.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ یَسَارِ بْنِ یَسَارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِأَیِّ شَیْ ءٍ یُصَامُ الْأَرْبِعَاءُ قَالَ لِأَنَّ النَّارَ خُلِقَتْ یَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ.

7. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah from Aban from Abi Ja’far al-Ahwal from Yasar b. Yasar who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) the reason behind recommendation of the fast on Wednesday. Imam (a.s.) replied, “This is so because Hell was created on Wednesday.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ بُکَیْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِمَا جَرَتِ السُّنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ ثَلَاثَهُ أَیَّامٍ فِی کُلِّ شَهْرٍ الْخَمِیسُ فِی الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَّلِ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءُ فِی الْعَشْرِ الثَّانِی وَ الْخَمِیسُ فِی الْعَشْرِ الْآخِرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَذَا جَمِیعُ مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ السُّنَّهُ فِی الصَّوْمِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

8. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Hassan b. Ali from Bukayr from Zurarah who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “What is recommended in a fast?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Fasting on three days every month.” The narrator asked, “Are you talking about recommended fasts?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع أَوْ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ أُؤَخِّرُهَا فِی الصَّیْفِ إِلَی الشِّتَاءِ فَإِنِّی أَجِدُهُنَّ أَهْوَنَ عَلَیَّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ احْفَظْهَا.

9. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from al-Hussain b. Abi Hamzah who said: The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) or Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Can I postpone fasting for three days of a month till winter for I would find it easier to fast then?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes, but do not reduce their number.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمِّی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنْ یَزِیدَ بْنِ خَلِیفَهَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّهُ یَشْتَدُّ عَلَیَّ الصَّوْمُ فِی الْحَرِّ فَأَجِدُ الصُّدَاعَ فَقَالَ اصْنَعْ کَمَا أَصْنَعُ أَنَا إِذَا سَافَرْتُ أَتَصَدَّقُ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ بِمُدٍّ عَلَی أَهْلِیَ الَّذِی أَقُوتُهُمْ بِهِ.

10. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from his father Muhammad b. Khalid from Abdillah b. al-Mughira from Yazid b. Khalifa who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “O master! It is difficult for me to fast during summer and my head starts aching.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Do what I do. When I go on a journey, for each day I give in Sadaqah one Mudd (750 grams) of food as I give to my family members.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ بْنِ أَیُّوبَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْکَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی إِبْرَاهِیمُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّی قَدِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَیَّ صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی کُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَمَا یُجْزِی عَنِّی أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ مَکَانَ کُلِّ یَوْمٍ أَ یَکْفِی أَتَصَدَّقُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَهُ دِرْهَمٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صِیَامِ یَوْمٍ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to us by Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah b. Ayoob’ from al-Hassan b. Uthman from Ibn Muskan who said it was narrated to me by Ibrahim b. al-Muthana who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “It is difficult for me to fast for three days every month. Is it enough that I give one dirham in charity for every fast?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Giving a dirham in charity is better than fasting for a day.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سُفْیَانَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ لَإِفْطَارُکَ فِی مَنْزِلِ أَخِیکَ الْمُسْلِمِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صِیَامِکَ سَبْعِینَ ضِعْفاً أَوْ تِسْعِینَ ضِعْفاً.

1. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “The reward of doing Iftar at the house of a brother in faith is seventy or ninety times the reward of a fast.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ جَمِیلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَی أَخِیهِ وَ هُوَ صَائِمٌ فَأَفْطَرَ عِنْدَهُ وَ لَمْ یُعْلِمْهُ بِصَوْمِهِ فَیَمُنَّ عَلَیْهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَوْمَ سَنَهٍ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who goes to a brother in faith fasting and does Iftar at his house and does not tell him about his fast Allah grants him the reward of fasting for a year.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِیسَی عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْمُسَیَّبِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص یَا أَبَتِ مَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ زَارَکَ فَقَالَ ص مَنْ زَارَنِی أَوْ زَارَ أَبَاکَ أَوْ زَارَکَ أَوْ زَارَ أَخَاکَ کَانَ حَقّاً عَلَیَّ أَنْ أَزُورَهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ حَتَّی أُخَلِّصَهُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab who said it was narrated to me by Uthman b. Isa from al-’Ala b. al-Museeb from Abi Ja’far from his father from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that Imam Hasan (a.s.) asked the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.), “O father! What is the reward of your Ziyarat?” He replied, “One who performs my Ziyarat, your father and your brother, it is obligatory for me to do his Ziyarat on the Day of Judgment and free him from sins.”

2. It was narrated to me by Hamzah b. Muhammad al-Alawi (rah) who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hussain al-Qawariri close to the reading to Ali b. ’Ubayd who said it was narrated to us by Ja’far b. Amir al-Baghawi who said it was narrated to us by Uthman b. Isa al-Rawasi from al-’Ala b. al-Museeb from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father Muhammad b. Ali from his father Ali b. al-Hussain b. Ali (a.s.) who said: Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that Imam Husain (a.s.) asked the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.), “O father!

Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil reported: Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari narrated to us from Ahmad and Abdullah, the two sons of Muhammad ibn Isa, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from al-'Ala ibn Raziin, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja'far (as), who said: Ali ibn al-Husayn (as) used to say: "Any believer whose eyes shed tears for the killing of al-Husayn (as) until they flow down his cheeks, Allah, the Exalted, will prepare for him in Paradise chambers in which he will reside for ages. And any believer whose eyes shed tears until they flow down his cheeks because of the harm we have suffered from our enemy in this world, Allah will grant him a place of truth. And any believer who suffers harm for us and his eyes shed tears until they flow down his cheeks from distress or suffering, Allah will remove the harm from his face and grant him security on the Day of Resurrection from the wrath of the Fire."

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. al-Khattab from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Harun al-Makfoof who said: “O Abu Haroon! One who cries after reciting the poems of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes ten people cry Allah would make everyone enter Paradise. One who cries after reciting the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes five people cry everyone would get Paradise. One who recites the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes a person cry Paradise would be made obligatory for both of them. If a discussion of Husain (a.s.) is held in front of a person and a tear equal to the wing of a fly comes out of his eyes his reward is with the Almighty Allah and Allah won’t be satisfied without giving him Paradise.”

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told Abu Umara, “Recite a poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.).” He recited the poem and Imam (a.s.) cried. He went on reciting and Imam (a.s.) cried continuously till the wails started coming out of his house. Then Imam (a.s.) said, “O Abu Umara! One who recites a poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes fifty persons cry Paradise belongs to him. One who recites a poem and forty persons cry Paradise is for them. If thirty persons cry Paradise is for them also. One who recites a poem and twenty persons cry they too will get Paradise. One who makes ten people cry after reciting a poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) they too will get Paradise. One who makes a person cry after reciting a poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) they too will get Paradise. One who recites the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and cries alone he too will get Paradise. One who makes just a crying face after reciting the poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) he too will get Paradise.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ الْمَدَائِنِیِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ آتِی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ ع قَالَ نَعَمْ یَا أَبَا سَعِیدٍ ائْتِ قَبْرَ ابْنِ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَطْیَبِ الطَّیِّبِینَ وَ أَطْهَرِ الطَّاهِرِینَ وَ أَبَرِّ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ إِذَا زُرْتَهُ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَکَ عِتْقَ خَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِینَ رَقَبَهً.

14. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Sa’eed al-Madaini who said: Abu Saeed Madaini asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “May I be sacrificed for you, should I go for Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.)?” He replied, “Yes, O Abu Saeed! Go for Ziyarat of the son of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) for he was most virtuous among virtuous men, purest among pure and best among the doers of good deeds. If you do his Ziyarat Allah would grant you the reward of freeing twenty-five slaves.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ الْکَلْبِیِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ بَیْنَهُمْ مَلَکٌ یُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْصُورٌ فَلَا یَزُورُهُ زَائِرٌ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ وَ لَا یُوَدِّعُهُ مُوَدِّعٌ إِلَّا شَیَّعُوهُ وَ لَا یَمْرَضُ إِلَّا عَادُوهُ وَ لَا یَمُوتُ إِلَّا صَلَّوْا عَلَی جِنَازَتِهِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ.

15. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Surely four thousand angels having their hair covered in mud and in distressed state will mourn at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) till the Day of Judgment. The name of their leader is Mansur. He welcomes the person who comes for Ziyarat. These angels won’t separate from that person. If he falls ill they will treat him, if he dies they attend his funeral prayer and repent for him after his death.”

وَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ مَلَکٍ یُصَلُّونَ عَلَیْهِ عَدَدَ کُلِّ یَوْمٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ وَ یَدْعُونَ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ یَقُولُونَ یَا رَبَّنَا هَؤُلَاءِ زُوَّارُ الْحُسَیْنِ افْعَلْ بِهِمْ افْعَلْ بِهِمْ.

16. And it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam who said it was narrated to us by Ali b. Hamzah from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah has appointed seventy thousand angels, distressed and having their hair covered in mud to send salutations on the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) everyday. They pray for the person who comes for Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) saying, “O Lord! These are the visitors of Imam Husain (a.s.) do this and that for them.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ فَمَنْ زَارَهُ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ شَیَّعُوهُ حَتَّی یُبْلِغُوهُ مَأْمَنَهُ وَ إِنْ مَرِضَ عَادُوهُ غُدْوَهً وَ عَشِیّاً وَ إِنْ مَاتَ شَهِدُوا جِنَازَتَهُ وَ اسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.

17. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The Almighty Allah has appointed four thousand angels at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.). They will mourn over Imam (a.s.) with their hair covered in dust and in a distressed state till the Day of Judgment. One who goes for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) knowing his right, angels will go with him till he returns to his homeland. If he falls ill they would treat him day and night. If he dies they would attend his funeral prayer and repent for him till the Day of Judgment.”

18. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Abi Ismail al-Sarraj from Yahya b. Mu’ammar al-’Attar from Abi Basir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Four thousand angels are appointed at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) with their hair covered in mud and in a distressed state. They will mourn Imam Husain (a.s.) till the Day of Judgment. They welcome whoever comes for the Ziyarat and that person does not return until they accompany him. He does not fall ill but that they come to treat him. He does not die but that they attend his funeral prayer.”

19. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) asked Abul Jarud, “How far is the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) from your house?” He replied, “If I go on a mount it takes a day to reach and if I walk, it takes a little more than that.” Imam asked, “Do you go for Ziyarat every Friday?” He replied, “No, but I go whenever I get time.” Imam said, “You are unjust. If this place would have been near my home I would have migrated over there.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ کَثِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی نُمَیْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ وَلَایَتَنَا عُرِضَتْ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ فَلَمْ یَقْبَلْهَا قَبُولَ أَهْلِ الْکُوفَهِ بِشَیْ ءٍ وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّ قَبْرَ عَلِیٍّ ع فِیهِ وَ أَنَّ لِیَ الزُّلْفَهَ لِقَبْرٍ آخَرَ یَعْنِی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ وَ مَا مِنْ آتٍ أَتَاهُ یُصَلِّی عِنْدَهُ رَکْعَتَیْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ یَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَّا قَضَاهَا لَهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَتَحُفُّهُ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ أَلْفُ مَلَکٍ.

20. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “Our Wilayat was presented to the people of various cities but no one accepted us like the people of Kufa. This is so because the holy grave of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) is over there and there is one more grave near him i.e. the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.). One who comes for the Ziyarat, offers a two-four rakat Salaat near the grave and seeks desires from Allah his desires would be fulfilled immediately. Surely one thousand angels surround the grave daily.”

21. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan (rah) who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “When you go for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.), visit him in a state of grief, face covered with dust, hair uncombed, hungry and thirsty because when Imam Husain (a.s.) was martyred, he was aggrieved and gloomy. His hair was covered in mud; he was troubled, hungry and thirsty. Seek your desires over there and return. Do not make that place your home.”

22. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) asked a narrator, “Do you go for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.)?” He replied, “Yes.” Imam enquired, “Do you carry necessary belongings on the journey?” He replied, “Yes.” Imam said, “You won’t do this when you visit the grave of your parents!” He asked, “Then what should we eat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Milk and bread.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بَلَغَنِی أَنَّ قَوْماً إِذَا زَارُوا الْحُسَیْنَ ع حَمَلُوا مَعَهُمُ السُّفْرَهَ فِیهَا الْجِدَاءُ وَ الأخصبه [الْأَخْبِصَهُ] وَ أَشْبَاهُهُ لَوْ زَارُوا قُبُورَ أَحِبَّائِهِمْ مَا حَمَلُوا مَعَهُمْ هَذَا.

23. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “I have been informed that when some people come for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) they carry sweet eatables with them but they don’t do so when they visit the graves of their loved ones!”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ بَشِیرٍ الدَّهَّانِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَیُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ زَارَ الْحُسَیْنَ بْنَ عَلِیٍّ ع عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ فِی غَیْرِ یَوْمِ عِیدٍ کُتِبَتْ لَهُ عِشْرُونَ حِجَّهً وَ عِشْرُونَ عُمْرَهً مَبْرُورَاتٍ مُتَقَبَّلَاتٍ وَ عِشْرُونَ غَزْوَهً مَعَ نَبِیٍّ مُرْسَلٍ أَوْ إِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ.

24. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “If a believer does the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) knowing his right on any day except Eid he would get the reward of twenty accepted Hajjs, twenty Umrahs and twenty battles fought along with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam.”

25. And from the previous chain who said: Bashir Dahhan asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “I cannot go for Hajj on a few occasions. What if I go to the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) on the day of Arafah?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “O Bashir! It is excellent; for one who does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) knowing his right on any day except Eid, would get the reward of twenty accepted Hajjs, twenty accepted Umrahs and fighting twenty battles along with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam. One who does Ziyarat on the day of Eid would get the reward of one hundred Hajjs, a hundred Umrahs and fighting a hundred battles alongside the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam. One who goes for Ziyarat knowing his right would get the reward of one thousand accepted Hajjs, one thousand accepted Umrahs and fighting one thousand battles alongside the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam.” Bashir asked, “How can I get the reward of halting in Arafah?” Imam (a.s.) looked at him angrily and replied, “When a believer goes for the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.), he should first go to river Euphrates and perform ritual bath and then go for Ziyarat. If he does so the reward of a Hajj is noted down for each step he takes.” The narrator says that he is not sure whether Imam (a.s.) included the reward of a battle and Umrah also.

26. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) and Imam Ridha (a.s.) that if a person does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) on the day of Arafah, the Almighty Allah would send that person back with tranquility of heart.

27. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from al-Haytham b. Abi Masruq al-Hindi from Ali b. Asbat who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah looks at the visitors of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) on the day of Arafah before Asr.” He asked, “Does He look at them before He even looks at the people gathered in Arafah?” “Yes,” replied Imam (a.s.). He asked, “Why?” Imam (a.s.) explained, “Among the latter (Arafah) may be some born out of wedlock but in the former (Kerbala) there won’t be any illegitimate born.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْکَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی یَتَجَلَّی لِزُوَّارِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع قَبْلَ أَهْلِ عَرَفَاتٍ فَیَفْعَلُ ذَلِکَ بِهِمْ وَ یَقْضِی حَوَائِجَهُمْ وَ یَغْفِرُ ذُنُوبَهُمْ وَ یُشَفِّعُهُمْ فِی مَسَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ یَثْنِی بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَیَفْعَلُ ذَلِکَ بِهِمْ.

28. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The Almighty Allah showers mercy on the people gathered at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) before the people gathered in Arafat on the day of Arafah. He fulfils their wishes, forgives their sins, grant them solutions to their problems then looks at the people of Arafah and grants all these bounties to them also.”

29. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab from Muhammad b. Salih from Abdillah b. Hilal from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Abdullah bin Hilal asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “May I be sacrificed on you, what is the minimum reward of the person who visits Imam Husain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “O Abdullah! The minimum reward is that Allah will safeguard him and his belongings till he reaches home. And when it is the Day of Judgment, Allah protects him more.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَی الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ زَائِرَ الْحُسَیْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَیْهِ تُجْعَلُ ذُنُوبُهُ جِسْراً [عَلَی] بَابِ دَارِهِ ثُمَّ یَعْبُرُهَا کَمَا یُخَلِّفُ أَحَدُکُمُ الْجِسْرَ وَرَاءَهُ إِذَا عَبَرَ.

30. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Hassan b. Musa al-Khashab from some of his men from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The sins of a person who visits the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) is like a bridge passing by. When you pass by a bridge you leave the road behind. Similarly, when a person goes for Ziyarat he leaves his sins behind.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُبَیْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ النَّهَاوَنْدِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ثُوَیْرِ بْنِ أَبِی فَاخِتَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا حُسَیْنُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ یُرِیدُ زِیَارَهَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ ع إِنْ کَانَ مَاشِیاً کُتِبَ لَهُ بِکُلِّ خُطْوَهٍ حَسَنَهٌ وَ مُحِیَ عَنْهُ سَیِّئَهٌ فَإِنْ کَانَ رَاکِباً کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ حَافِرٍ حَسَنَهً وَ حَطَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ سَیِّئَهً حَتَّی إِذَا صَارَ فِی الْحَائِرِ کَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِینَ الْمُنْجِحِینَ حَتَّی إِذَا قَضَی مَنَاسِکَهُ کَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْفَائِزِینَ حَتَّی إِذَا أَرَادَ الِانْصِرَافَ أَتَاهُ مَلَکٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص یُقْرِئُکَ السَّلَامَ وَ یَقُولُ لَکَ اسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ فَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَکَ مَا مَضَی.

31. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told Husain bin Suwair, “O Husain! One who starts from his home with an intention of doing the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) Allah would note a reward and wipe a sin for every step taken. If he is on a mount Allah would note down a reward and wipe a sin for every step of the mount till he reaches Kerbala. The Almighty Allah would include him among those who get salvation. And when he performs the deeds of Ziyarat Allah includes him among the successful. When he makes an intention to return, an angel would come and say, ‘The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has sent his salutations to you and has conveyed that your past sins are forgiven. Now you can have a new start in your deeds’.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ بَشِیرٍ الدَّهَّانِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَیَخْرُجُ إِلَی قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَلَهُ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ بِأَوَّلِ خُطْوَهٍ مَغْفِرَهٌ لِذُنُوبِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَزَلْ یُقَدَّسُ بِکُلِّ خُطْوَهٍ حَتَّی یَأْتِیَهُ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُ نَاجَاهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدِی سَلْنِی أُعْطِکَ ادْعُنِی أُجِبْکَ اطْلُبْ مِنِّی أُعْطِکَ سَلْنِی حَاجَتَکَ أَقْضِهَا لَکَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ حَقٌّ عَلَی اللَّهِ أَنْ یُعْطِیَ مَا بَذَلَ.

32. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Basheer al-Dahhan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “When a person starts from his house for the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) and takes his first step after bidding farewell to his family, his sins are forgiven and he would go on becoming pure as he steps towards the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.). When he reaches the holy grave, Allah would tell him, ‘O My servant! Seek from Me and I will grant you. Call Me and I will answer you. Express your desires and I will fulfill them’. It is incumbent on Allah to repay him whatever he spends.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَائِکَهً مُوَکَّلِینَ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَإِذَا هَمَّ الرَّجُلُ بِزِیَارَتِهِ أَعْطَاهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُ فَإِذَا أخطأ [خَطَا] مَحَوْهَا ثُمَّ إِذَا أخطأ [خَطَا] ضَاعَفُوا لَهُ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَمَا تَزَالُ حَسَنَاتُهُ تُضَاعَفُ حَتَّی تُوجِبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّهَ ثُمَّ اکْتَنَفُوهُ فَقَدَّسُوهُ- وَ یُنَادُونَ مَلَائِکَهَ السَّمَاءِ أَنْ قَدِّسُوا زُوَّارَ قَبْرِ حَبِیبِ حَبِیبِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلُوا نَادَاهُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ ص یَا وَفْدَ اللَّهِ أَبْشِرُوا بِمُرَافَقَتِی فِی الْجَنَّهِ ثُمَّ نَادَاهُمْ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ عَلِیٌّ ع أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لِحَوَائِجِکُمْ وَ دَفْعِ الْبَلَاءِ عَنْکُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ ثُمَّ اکْتَنَفُوهُمْ عَنْ أَیْمَانِهِمْ وَ عَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمْ حَتَّی یَنْصَرِفُوا إِلَی أَهَالِیهِمْ.

33. And from the previous chain from Salih b. al-Harith b. al-Mughira from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: ‘O guest of Allah! There are glad-tidings of my friendship in Paradise for you’. Then Ali (a.s.) calls out, ‘I guarantee the fulfillment of your desires in this world and the hereafter and keeping calamities away from you’. Then all the angels would surround him in a circle and accompany him home.”

34. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Muhammad b. Sinan from al-Hussain b. al-Mukhtar from Zayd al-Shaham from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) is equal to that of twenty Hajjs and even better than that.”

35. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Sa’eed al-Madaini who said: Abu Saeed Madaini visited Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) and asked him, “May I be sacrificed for you, should I go for Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.)?” He replied, “Yes, O Abu Saeed! Go for Ziyarat of the son of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) for he was most virtuous among virtuous men, purest among pure and best among the doers of good deeds. If you do his Ziyarat, Allah would grant you the reward of twenty-five Hajjs.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ النَّخَعِیِّ عَنْ شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ أَوْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلَنِی فَقَالَ لِی یَا شِهَابُ کَمْ حَجَجْتَ مِنْ حِجَّهٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ تِسْعَهَ عَشَرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِی تُتِمُّهَا عِشْرِینَ حِجَّهً یَکْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَکَ زِیَارَهَ الْحُسَیْنِ ع.

36. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Ahmad b. al-Nadhr Nakha’i from Shihab b. Abd Rabbuhu or from a man from Shihab from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Perform it twenty times and you would be like one who does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain Ibne Ali (a.s.) once.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حُذَیْفَهَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع کَمْ حَجَجْتَ فَقُلْتُ تِسْعَهَ عَشَرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّکَ لَوْ أَتْمَمْتَ إِحْدَی وَ عِشْرِینَ حِجَّهً لَکُنْتَ کَمَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَیْنَ بْنَ عَلِیٍّ ع.

37. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) asked Huzaifa bin Mansur, “How many times have you performed the Hajj?” “Nineteen times,” he replied. Imam said, “If you perform it twenty-one times you would be like one who does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain Ibne Ali (a.s.) once.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَدَقَهَ عَنْ صَالِحٍ النِّیلِیِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ أَتَی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ ع عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ کَانَ کَمَنْ حَجَّ مِائَهَ حِجَّهٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.

38. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that a person who does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) once knowing his right is like one who has performed Hajj a hundred times along with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَدَقَهَ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ عَطِیَّهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَمَانِینَ حِجَّهً مَبْرُورَهً.

39. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Sadaqah from Malik b. ’Atiyyah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that if a person does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) once knowing his right the Almighty Allah would note down a reward of an accepted Hajj.

41. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Yazid b. Abd al-Malik who said: “All these Hajjs and Umrahs are accepted and blessed.” The narrator says that before they stood up to leave, a person came and told Imam (a.s.), “I have performed nineteen Hajjs. Pray to Allah that I complete twenty.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Have you performed the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.)?” He replied, “No” Imam (a.s.) told him, “This Ziyarat is better than twenty Hajjs.”

42. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said that the place of grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) is honored and well- known. One who seeks protection knowing its right, would be safeguarded. The narrator asked, “May I be sacrificed on you, tell me about the area of that place.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The radius of H2hands is included in the area of his grave.”

43. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that the place of grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) was included among the gardens of Paradise and then Imam (a.s.) further said that the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) is one among the rose-gardens of Paradise.

13. My father (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sa'd ibn Abdullah told me from Ya'qub ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Abi 'Umayr, from Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb, who said: 'I entered upon Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him) while he was in his place of prayer. I sat until he completed his prayer, and I heard him conversing with his Lord, saying: 'O You who have honored us with dignity, who have promised us intercession, who have entrusted us with the message, who have made us heirs of the Prophets, who have sealed the previous nations with us, who have granted us the will, who have given us knowledge of what has passed and what will remain, and who have made the hearts of people incline toward us, forgive me and my brothers and the visitors of the grave of my grandfather, Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn ibn Ali (peace be upon him), those who have spent their wealth and dedicated their bodies seeking our goodness and hoping for what You have in connection with us, and the joy they have brought to Your Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their response to our command, and the anger they have directed toward our enemy. They sought thereby Your pleasure, so protect them with Your satisfaction, and safeguard them by night and by day, and grant them the best of successors among their families and children who were left behind, and accompany them and save them from the evil of every tyrant and every weak one among Your creation, and from the evil of the devils of mankind and jinn. Grant them the best of what they have hoped for from You during their estrangement from their homelands, and what they preferred over their children and bodies and families and relatives. O Allah, our enemies have blamed them for leaving, but that has not stopped them from rising and coming to us, despite the opposition against them. Have mercy on those faces that have been changed by the sun, and have mercy on those cheeks that have turned over the grave of Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn (peace be upon him), and have mercy on those eyes that have shed tears for us, and have mercy on those hearts that have grieved and burned for us, and have mercy on that cry that was for us. O Allah, I entrust to You those souls and those bodies until You grant them to drink from the pond on the Day of Thirst.' He continued to invoke this supplication while in prostration. When he finished, I said to him, 'May I be your ransom! If what I heard from you was for someone who does not know Allah, I would think that the Fire would never touch him at all. By Allah, I have wished that I had visited him and not made the pilgrimage.' He said to me, 'How close you are to him! What is preventing you from visiting him, O Mu'awiyah? And why do you abandon the pilgrimage?' I said, 'May I be your ransom! I did not know that the matter would reach this.' He said, 'O Mu'awiyah, who invokes for his visitors in the heavens more than those who invoke for them on earth? Do not abandon it for fear of anyone. Whoever abandons it out of fear will see the regret for what they wish they could have done with their own hands. Do you not love for Allah to see you among those who are called to by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? Do you not love to be among those who shake hands with the angels tomorrow? Do you not love to be among those who will be greeted by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) tomorrow?'"

45. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “There is no angel in the heavens and the earth who comes for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) taking permission from Allah. One group of angels or other keeps on coming down to Imam Husain (a.s.) or going up.”

46. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “The number of any creature of Allah is not more than that of angels. Seventy thousand angels come down to earth every night and circumambulate the Holy Kaaba all night. They come to the holy grave of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) before sunrise and salute him, then salute Amirul Momineen (a.s.) at his grave, then salute Imam Hasan (a.s.) at his grave and come to salute Imam Husain (a.s.) at his grave and go back to the heaven before the sun rises. Then seventy thousand angels come to earth during the day. They circumambulate the Holy Kaaba all day and salute the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) at his grave before sunset. Then they come to salute Amirul Momineen (a.s.) at his grave, then salute Imam Hasan (a.s.) at his grave and finally they come to salute Imam Husain (a.s.) at his grave and return to heaven before the sun sets.

47. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Hassan b. Ali b. Abi Uthman from Muhammad b. Fudhayl from Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that angels continuously move to and fro the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) and all the seven heavens.

48. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “Perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) and don’t do injustice to him because he is the chief of martyrs and chief of the youths of Paradise.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ رِبْعِیِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِالْمَدِینَهِ أَیْنَ قُبُورُ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَ أَ لَیْسَ أَفْضَلُ الشُّهَدَاءِ عِنْدَکَ الْحُسَیْنَ ع وَ الَّذِی نَفْسِی بِیَدِهِ إِنَّ حَوْلَ قَبْرِهِ أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.

49. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Hamad b. Isa from Rib’i b. Abdillah who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) in Medina, “Where is the grave of the martyrs?” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Isn’t Imam Husain (a.s.) excellent among the martyrs according to you? I swear by Him in Whose hands is my life, four thousand angels surround the grave of Imam (a.s.) having their hair soiled and crying till the Day of Judgment.”

50. Umme Saeed Hamsiya says that she was present near Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.). She had sent someone to rent a mule so that she can perform Ziyarat of the martyrs. Imam (a.s.) asked her, “Why don’t you go for the Ziyarat of the chief of the martyrs?” She asked, “May I be sacrificed for you, who is the chief of the martyrs?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Imam Husain (a.s.) is the chief of martyrs.” She asked, “What is the reward of one who does his Ziyarat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It is equal to a Hajj and Umrah.” Then showing his three fingers he conveyed that the reward is three times that of performing that deed.

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَکَمِ بْنِ مِسْکِینٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِیدٍ الْأَحْمَسِیَّهِ قَالَتْ جِئْتُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَدَخَلْتُ فَجَاءَتِ الْجَارِیَهُ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ جِئْتُکَ بِالدَّابَّهِ فَقَالَ ع یَا أُمَّ سَعِیدٍ أَیُّ شَیْ ءٍ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّهُ أَیْنَ تَبْغِینَ أَیْنَ تَذْهَبِینَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لِأَزُورَ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقَالَ أَخْبِرِینِی ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمَ مَا أَعْجَبَکُمْ یَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ تَأْتُونَ الشُّهَدَاءَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ بَعِیدٍ وَ تَتْرُکُونَ سَیِّدَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ لَا تَأْتُونَهُ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ سَیِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ ع قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنِّی امْرَأَهٌ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِمَنْ کَانَتْ مِثْلَکِ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ إِلَیْهِ وَ تَزُورَهُ قُلْتُ أَیُّ شَیْ ءٍ لَنَا فِی زِیَارَتِهِ قَالَ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّهً وَ عُمْرَهً- وَ اعْتِکَافَ شَهْرَیْنِ فِی الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَ صِیَامَهُمَا.

51. Umme Saeed Hamsiya says that she was present near Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) when her maid came to her and said, “I have brought the mount.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What is that mount for? Where are you going?” She replied, “I am going for Ziyarat of the graves of the martyrs.” Imam (a.s.) said, “I am surprised that you people of Iraq travel long distances and perform Ziyarat of the martyrs but don’t go for the Ziyarat of the chief of martyrs. Why don’t you go for his Ziyarat?” She asked, “Who is the chief of martyrs?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Imam Husain (a.s.).” She said, “But I am a woman.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Other women like you should also go for Ziyarat.” She asked, “What is the reward of his Ziyarat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The reward of this Ziyarat is equal to that of a Hajj, Umrah, performing Etekaf in Masjid-e-Haraam and fasting for two months.”

52. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that Imam Husain (a.s.) said, “I am Qateelul A’brah. I was martyred in the state of grief and sorrow. One who comes for my Ziyarat in a state of grief and sorrow, Allah would send him back to his relatives happy.”

1. The narrator says that a person from the people of Rayy went to Imam Ali Naqi (a.s.). Imam (a.s.) asked him, “Where are you coming from?” He replied, “I am coming after performing the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.).” The Imam said: However if you perform the Ziyarat of Abdul Azim in the city of Rayy it is as if you have performed the Ziyarat of Imam Husain bin Ali (a.s.).”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی بِإِسْنَادٍ ذَکَرَهُ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ لَمْ یَقْدِرْ عَلَی صَلَاتِنَا فَلْیُصَلِّ صَالِحِی مَوَالِینَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ یَقْدِرْ عَلَی زِیَارَتِنَا فَلْیَزُرْ صَالِحِی مَوَالِینَا یَکْتُبِ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَوَابَ زِیَارَتِنَا.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from a chain he narrated from al-Sadiq (a.s.) who said: “One who cannot do good to us, should do good to our lovers and friends. He will get the reward of doing good to us. One who cannot perform our Ziyarat, should perform the Ziyarat of our virtuous lovers and friends. He will get the reward of performing our Ziyarat.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Ahmad b. Idris from ’Imran b. Musa from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr from Hamad b. Uthman from Ishaq b. Ammar who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “What is the meaning of this verse: ‘Who is it that will offer of Allah a goodly gift, so He will multiply it to him manifold’?”10 Imam (a.s.) replied, “It implies doing good to an Imam.” The narrator says that his father too heard such a tradition from Imam (a.s.).

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِیمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الْفَارِسِیِ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِیِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ أَبِی زِیَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ فِی أَعْلَی دَرَجَهٍ مِنَ الْآدَمِیِّینَ مَا خَلَا النَّبِیِّینَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِینَ وَ لَا تَسْتَضْعِفُوا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ حُقُوقَهُمْ فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ لَمَکَاناً.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his father that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The ranks of the people of Quran come next to that of the prophets and messengers. Don’t ever consider the people of Quran as weak and don’t reduce their rights for they have a high status near Allah.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ شُعَیْبٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ مَادٍّ الْقَلَانِسِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ بِمَکَّهَ مِنْ جُمُعَهٍ إِلَی جُمُعَهٍ وَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِکَ وَ أَکْثَرَ وَ خَتَمَهُ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ وَ الْحَسَنَاتِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ جُمُعَهٍ کَانَتْ فِی الدُّنْیَا إِلَی آخِرِ جُمُعَهٍ تَکُونُ فِیهَا وَ إِنْ خَتَمَهُ فِی سَائِرِ الْأَیَّامِ فَکَذَلِکَ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Ibn Abi al-Khattab from al-Nadhr b. Shu’aib from al-Hussain b. Mad al-Qalanisi from Abi Hamzah from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who recites a complete Quran between time span of two Fridays or more or less than that then concludes this recitation on Friday Allah would note down the reward of all the good deeds performed from a Friday before his birth till the last Friday. And if he concludes it on any other day then too he will get the same reward.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who memorizes Quran with difficulty will get two rewards and one who memorizes it with ease would be included among the virtuous.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Malik b. ’Atiyyah from Minhal al-Qassab from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If a youth among believers recites the Holy Quran it gets mixed in his flesh and blood. The Almighty Allah would keep him with virtuous and honored angels and the Holy Quran would act as a shield against the fire of Hell for him on the Day of Judgment. The Holy Quran would say, ‘People who acted upon anything except me have got their result. O Allah! You give the best rewards to these people’. Allah would make the reciter of the Holy Quran wear two dresses of Paradise and keep the crown of honor on his head. Allah would tell the Holy Quran, ‘Are you satisfied now?’ It would reply, ‘I desire a better reward’. Now Allah would grant peace from right and an eternal Paradise from left and then make him enter Paradise. He would be told in Paradise, ‘Go on reciting a verse of the Holy Quran and your position will go on increasing by one level for each of them’. Then the Holy Quran would be addressed, ‘Are you pleased now?’ The Holy Quran would say, ‘Yes my Lord!’” Imam (a.s.) says that one who recites the Holy Quran much and is regular in it, the Almighty Allah would grant him this reward twice.

1. It was narrated to me by Ja’far b. Muhammad b. Masruq who said it was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Muhammad b. ’Amir from his uncle Abdillah b. ’Amir from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Abdillah b. Sulayman from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who recites the Holy Quran while standing in Salaat, Allah would grant him one hundred rewards for each alphabet and if a person recites the Holy Quran while sitting in Salaat, Allah would grant him fifty rewards for each alphabet. One who recites the Holy Quran apart from Salaat, Allah would grant him ten rewards for each letter.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Ali from Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites a hundred verses in Salaat-e-Shab, Allah would note down the reward of offering Salaat for the whole night for him and one who recites two hundred verses at night apart from Salaat-e-Shab, the Almighty Allah would write a Qintar of good deeds on Lauh-e-Mahfuz. A single Qintar is equal to twelve hundred Awqiya and a single Awqiya is bigger that Mount Ohad.”

1. It was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Ahmad from his father from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Jameel b. Salih from al-Fadhl b. Yasar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A person who memorizes the Holy Quran and obeys its commandments is in the group of senior angels.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who tries to memorize the Holy Quran with extreme difficulty due to a weak memory will get two rewards.” He further said, “Why don’t the people who trade in markets whole day not recite a Surah when they return to their homes at night before going to bed? If they do so they would get ten rewards for each verse and ten sins will be wiped off.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi who said it was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Yazid al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked, “Who is the best of men?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “One who comes and goes.” He was again asked, “What is meant by one who comes and goes?” He replied, “One who starts and ends. One who starts reciting the Holy Quran and ends it. There is no one nearer to Allah than him and his supplications are accepted.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who recites ten verses of the Holy Quran at night won’t be included among the ignorant ones. One who recites fifty verses would be included among those who remember Allah much. One who recites a hundred verses would be included among those who perform Qunoot. One who recites two hundred verses would be included among Khashi-in (most humble). One who recites three hundred verses would be included among successful people. One who recites five hundred verses would be included among Mujtahideen (Holy warriors). One who recites a thousand verses would get the reward of one Qintar and a single Qintar is worth fifteen thousand Mithqal gold and a single Mithqal comprises of twenty-four Qirat and the smallest Qirat is equal to Mount Ohad and the biggest Qirat is equal to the distance between the earth and the heaven.”

Satan would not come near him and he will never forget the Holy Quran.”

Farqad from al-Hakam b. Dhahir from Abi Salih from Ibn Abbas who said: It is narrated from Ibne Abbas that one who recites Surah Anaam every night would remain safe on the Day of Judgment and would never see the fire of Hell.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع نَزَلَتْ سُورَهُ الْأَنْعَامِ جُمْلَهً وَاحِدَهً شَیَّعَهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَکٍ حَتَّی نَزَلَتْ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَعَظِّمُوهَا وَ بَجِّلُوهَا فَإِنَّ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِیهَا فِی سَبْعِینَ مَوْضِعاً وَ لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ مَا فِیهَا مَا تَرَکُوهَا.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “Surah Anaam was revealed whole at once. Seventy thousand angels kept watch on it when it was revealed on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.). Hence it should be regarded as an honored Surah and must be respected. If people had known what is there in it they would have never ignored it.”

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan b. Ali from his father from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Surah Araaf once every month would be included among those for whom there is no fear or sorrow on the Day of Judgment. One who recites it every Friday would be included among those for whom there is no accounting on the Day of Judgment. Know that one of the Muhkamat (clear verses) of the Holy Quran is present in this Surah and it will bear witness on the Day of Judgment for the reciter.”

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi Nasr from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Indeed everything has a heart and the heart of Quran is Surah Yasin. One who recites it before going to bed or any part of the day would remain safe during that day and get earnings from Allah. One who recites it before going to bed at night; the Almighty Allah would appoint seventy angels to protect him from the mischief of Satan and all sorts of calamities. If he dies the next day Allah would make him enter Paradise and thirty thousand angels would be present at the time of ritual bath of his dead body. They would repent for him and pray for his forgiveness and they would accompany him till his burial in the grave. Angels would enter the grave before he is laid down in it and worship over there and the reward of this worship would be given to him. His grave would be expanded for a distance as further as an eye can see. He would remain safe from squeeze of the grave and an illuminated light would emerge from his grave till the heaven. This light would remain till the time Allah takes him out of his grave. When he would be resurrected from his grave, he would be speaking to angels, his face would be happy and they would give him good news at every stage till they pass through the Sirat Bridge and Mizan. The angels would take him so near to Allah that none except the nearest angels and prophets have been there. He would stand in front of Allah with the prophets. While others will be sorrowful and troubled, he would have no sorrow, trouble or a difficulty. Allah would tell him, ‘Do intercession of whomsoever you want. I will accept your intercession and ask for whatever you want. I will grant you’. He will get whatever he desires and if he does intercession for a person it would be accepted while others would have to give account of their deeds. They would have been stopped and being disgraced but there would be no accounting for this person. No one will stop him and there would be no disgrace for him. He won’t face bad fortune for any of his deeds. His scroll of deeds would be opened and given to him. When he would come down after meeting Allah, people would utter Sub-h’aanallaah on seeing him. They would say, “There is no sin to the name of this servant and he will get the company of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.).”

Salim from Abi al-Hassan al-’Abdi from Jabir al-Ju’fi from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: For one who recites Yasin once in his lifetime Allah writes for him virtues million times more than the number of Allah’s creatures that are in this world and would be in the heavens on the Day of Judgment, and the same number of his sins would be forgiven and that man would not be afflicted with poverty and sorrow: he would be safe from death by being buried under debris, misfortune, insanity and doubts and from every such illness that might give him pain, and Allah would make the pangs of death and its fear easy and light; and at the time of departure of the soul, Allah would be his Helper while for one whose helper is Allah there is generous livelihood in this world while in the next there would be happiness and pleasure before Allah and also a great reward. When he meets his Lord in the Hereafter, Allah would say to all the angels that exist in skies and the earth that I am happy and satisfied with such and such a man, so O angels, all of you seek forgiveness for this man.

Abi al-’Ala from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: One who recites Saffat every Friday would remain safe from every calamity, every trouble would remain away from him in his worldly life, there would be increase in his livelihood and he would not receive any harm for himself, his property and his children from any powerful enemy or the accursed Satan. If he dies the same day or the same night he would die as a martyr, Allah would raise him as a martyr (i.e. on the Day of Judgment he would be raised like martyrs) or give him the death of a martyr; and he would be admitted into Paradise in the high position of Martyrs.

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from Sandal from Harun b. Kharija from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Surah Zumar and considers it easy to recite, the Almighty Allah would grant him prestige in this world and hereafter and he would be honored even without possessing wealth or a good family background. He would grant him honor in front of everyone. Fire would be prohibited on his body. A thousand cities would be built for him in Paradise and every city will have one thousand palaces and every palace will have one hundred Hoorul Ein. He would make two normal springs flow, two springs flow under the trees and two more green springs to flow for him. He would veil all of the Hoorul Ein.

If you knew what it is and what is its reward you would not be shortcoming in reciting it; and I will soon give your reward. O Angels make him enter Paradise and in it will be a palace of red rubies, and its doors and turrets arches.

1. From the previous chain from Abi al-Mi’za from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Surahs starting with Ha Mim are best fragrance of the Holy Quran. Praise and glorify Allah excessively whenever you recite them. Whenever a person recites them, his mouth smells far better than musk and amber. Allah showers His mercy on the reciter, his neighbors, friends, relatives and near and dear ones. The Divine throne, Kursi and nearest angels would repent for him on the Day of Judgment.”

Khalifa from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Whoever regularly recites Surah Najm during the day or night would become praiseworthy and conspicuous among the people, would be forgiven (his sins) and would become popular and amiable among the people.

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from his father from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Recite Surah Rahman regularly and don’t miss its recitation because it does not have place in the heart of a hypocrite. It will be given a beautiful human face on the Day of Judgment and it would be nearest to Allah. It would be asked, ‘Who used to recite you regularly in the world’. It would respond with the names of the concerned persons. Then the faces of those persons would be brightened and they would be told, ‘Do intercession for whomsoever you want’. They would do intercession of innumerable people until there would remain no person whose intercession they wanted to do. Then those people will be ordered, ‘Enter Paradise and stay wherever you like’.”

Shimr from Jabir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Recite Surah Haqqah very often because recitation of Surah Haqqah in obligatory and recommended prayers is a sign of belief in Allah and His Prophet. It is related to Amirul Momineen (a.s.) and Muawiyah and the religion of the reciter would not remain doubtful and uncertain till he meets Allah.

He would marry the reciter to two hundred Hoorul Ein and four thousand other women.

Also the reciter of Surah Jinn would be in the company of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and his Progeny (a.s.).

And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from Sa’eed from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Whoever recites Al- Haakumut Takathur (Surah Takathur) in his obligatory Prayer, reward for a hundred martyrs would be written for him by command of Allah and whoever recites it in his recommended prayers, Allah would grant him reward for fifty martyrs. Further, if Allah wills, forty rows of angels would offer prayer with the reciter of Surah Takathur.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who recites Surah Takathur before going to bed would remain safe from the chastisement of grave.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ وَ الْعَصْرِ فِی نَوَافِلِهِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ مُشْرِقاً وَجْهُهُ ضَاحِکاً سِنُّهُ قَرِیرَهً عَیْنُهُ حَتَّی یَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّهَ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ismail b. Mihran from al-Hassan from al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Whoever recites Surah Asr in his optional prayers, Allah would raise him on the Day of Judgment with cheerful and smiling face and happy and cool eyes, and eventually he would be admitted into Paradise.

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ وَیْلٌ لِکُلِّ هُمَزَهٍ فِی فَرَائِضِهِ أَبْعَدَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الْفَقْرَ وَ جَلَبَ عَلَیْهِ الرِّزْقَ وَ یَدْفَعُ عَنْهُ مِیتَهَ السَّوْءِ.

1. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Whoever recites ‘Wailul Lekulle Humazah’ (Surah Humazah) in his obligatory prayers, Allah would remove poverty and destitution from him and make livelihood easy for him and also keep him safe from accidental or bad death.

بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ فِی فَرَائِضِهِ أَ لَمْ تَرَ کَیْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّکَ شَهِدَ لَهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ کُلُّ سَهْلٍ وَ جَبَلٍ وَ مَدَرٍ بِأَنَّهُ کَانَ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّینَ وَ یُنَادِی لَهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ مُنَادٍ صَدَقْتُمْ عَلَی عَبْدِی قَبِلْتُ شَهَادَتَکُمْ لَهُ وَ عَلَیْهِ أَدْخِلُوهُ الْجَنَّهَ وَ لَا تُحَاسِبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِمَّنْ أُحِبُّهُ وَ أُحِبُّ عَمَلَهُ.

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Surah Feel in his obligatory prayers all deserts, mountains and soil will bear witness that the person is regular in offering prayers. A call will be given out on the Day of Judgment, ‘You had said right about My servant and I have accepted your testimony. Make him enter Paradise on account of this testimony and do not account for his deeds because I love him and his deeds. “

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِی الْمِعْزَی عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أَکْثَرَ قِرَاءَهَ لِإِیلافِ قُرَیْشٍ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ عَلَی مَرْکَبٍ مِنْ مَرَاکِبِ الْجَنَّهِ حَتَّی یَقْعُدَ عَلَی مَوَائِدِ النُّورِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ. قال مصنف هذا الکتاب ره من قرأ سوره الفیل فلیقرأ معها لإیلاف فی رکعه فریضه فإنهما جمیعا سوره واحده و لا یجوز التفرد بواحده منهما

2. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from Abi al-Mi’za from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Recite Surah Feel and Quraish together in a rakat of an obligatory prayer because they are considered a single Surah. Hence it is not permissible to recite only one of them in an obligatory prayer.”

بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ الزُّبَیْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَهَ أَ رَأَیْتَ الَّذِی یُکَذِّبُ بِالدِّینِ فِی فَرَائِضِهِ وَ نَوَافِلِهِ کَانَ فِیمَنْ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ صَلَاتَهُ وَ صِیَامَهُ وَ لَمْ یُحَاسِبْهُ بِمَا کَانَ مِنْهُ فِی الْحَیَاهِ الدُّنْیَا.

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from Ismail b. al-Zubayr from ’Amru b. Thabit from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: Whoever recites Surah Maoon in his obligatory and optional prayers would be among those whose prayers and fasts are accepted by Allah, the Mighty and the Sublime, and that man would not be subjected to reckoning for whatever he has done in the world.

بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ کَانَ قِرَاءَتُهُ إِنَّا أَعْطَیْناکَ الْکَوْثَرَ فِی فَرَائِضِهِ وَ نَوَافِلِهِ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْکَوْثَرِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ کَانَ مُحَدَّثُهُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِی أَصْلِ طُوبَی.

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Whoever recites Surah Kauthar in his obligatory and recommended prayers, Allah would give him to drink from Kauthar on the Day of Judgment and he would be of those who had been with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) under the shade of the tree (of Paradise) Tooba.

1. Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) said: Whoever recites Surah Kafiroon and Surah Tauheed in one of his obligatory prayers, Allah grants forgiveness for him, for his parents and for his children, and if his name is written in the register of unfortunate and disobedient persons, then after erasing it He writes in it the register of virtuous and happy people and Allah would grant him the death of a martyr and raise him on the Day of Judgment with the martyrs.

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from Aban b. Abd al-Malik b. Karram al-Khath’ami from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Surah Nasr in his obligatory or recommended prayers Allah will give him conquest over all enemies and he will have a talking book with him on the Day of Judgment. He will have protection against the bridge, fire and fiery voices of Hell when Allah resurrects him from grave. Every person meeting him will congratulate and give him glad tidings till he enters Paradise. A number of doors of goodness will be opened for him in this world so much that he would never have imagined or desired.”

1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from Ali b. Shajarah from some of the companions Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Whenever you recite Surah Lahab, curse Abu Lahab without fail because he was such a liar that he had denied the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and whatever was revealed upon him.”

بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ مَضَی بِهِ یَوْمٌ وَاحِدٌ فَصَلَّی فِیهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ لَمْ یَقْرَأْ فِیهَا بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ قِیلَ لَهُ یَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ لَسْتَ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّینَ.

1. From the previous chain from Sayf b. ’Umayra from Mansur b. Hazim from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who offers five times prayer daily but does not recite Surah Tauheed would be told, ‘O servant of Allah! You are not a reciter of Salaat’?”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ مَضَتْ لَهُ جُمْعَهٌ وَ لَمْ یَقْرَأْ فِیهَا بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَی دِینِ أَبِی لَهَبٍ.

2. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from Abi Abdillah from Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who dies on Friday without having recited Surah Tauheed has died having faith on the religion of Abu Lahab.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ صَنْدَلٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أَصَابَهُ مَرَضٌ أَوْ شِدَّهٌ وَ لَمْ یَقْرَأْ فِی مَرَضِهِ أَوْ شِدَّتِهِ بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فِی مَرَضِهِ أَوْ فِی تِلْکَ الشِّدَّهِ الَّتِی نَزَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ.

3. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from Sandal from Harun b. Kharija from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who is involved in some sort of disease or problem and dies without reciting Surah Tauheed is condemned to Hell.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ ابن [أَبِی] بَکْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ کانَ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا یَدَعْ أَنْ یَقْرَأَ فِی دُبُرِ الْفَرِیضَهِ بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَیْرَ الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ وَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ لِوَالِدَیْهِ وَ مَا وَلَدَ.

4. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from Sayf b. ’Umayra from Ibn [Abi] Bakr al-Hadhrami from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who has faith on Allah and the Day of Judgment it is necessary for him to recite Surah Tauheed in his obligatory prayers. If a person does so Allah will grant him goodness in this world and the hereafter and will forgive him, his parents and his children.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عِیسَی بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ حِینَ یَأْخُذُ مَضْجَعَهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَ خَمْسِینَ سَنَهً.

5. It is narrated from Amirul Momineen (a.s.) that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who recites Surah Tauheed a hundred times before going to bed, Allah will forgive sins committed by him in the past fifty years.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّبِیَّ ص صَلَّی عَلَی سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ وَافَی مِنَ الْمَلَائِکَهِ تِسْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَکٍ وَ فِیهِمْ جَبْرَئِیلُ ع یُصَلُّونَ عَلَیْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ یَا جَبْرَئِیلُ بِمَا اسْتَحَقَّ صَلَاتَکَ عَلَیْهِ فَقَالَ بِقِرَاءَهِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ قَائِماً وَ قَاعِداً وَ رَاکِباً وَ مَاشِیاً وَ ذَاهِباً وَ جَائِیاً.

6. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ibrahim b. Hashim from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father (a.s.) who said: “His funeral prayer was attended by ninety thousand angels accompanied by Jibraeel (a.s.). I asked Jibraeel (a.s.), ‘Why did you people attend this funeral prayer?’ Jibraeel (a.s.) replied, ‘He used to recite Surah Tauheed while standing or sitting, riding or walking and while coming and going’.”

7. And from the previous chain from Abi al-Hassan from Aban b. Uthman from Qays b. al-Rabee’ from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Surah Tauheed eleven times before going to bed Allah will protect his house along with all the neighboring houses.”

حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ النَّهْدِیِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ فُضَیْلِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِی رَجُلٌ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ جَهْمٍ الزَّیَّاتِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَیٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَمِیرَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع یَقُولُ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ إِحْدَی عَشْرَهَ مَرَّهً فِی دُبُرِ الْفَجْرِ لَمْ یَتْبَعْهُ فِی ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمِ ذَنْبٌ وَ إِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ الشَّیْطَانِ.

8. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “One who recites Surah Qul huwallaahu ah’ad eleven times after Morning Prayer won’t commit any sin during that day even if the Satan tries hard. In this way, the Satan will be disgraced.”

9. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “One who recites Surah Tauheed before meeting an unjust person, Allah will protect him from all sides and he will remain safe from the mischief of that unjust person. He will benefit from meeting that unjust person. Whenever you develop fear of something, recite a hundred verses of the Holy Quran and say, ‘O Allah! Take this calamity away from me’ thrice.”

10. Abi (rah) from Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Hassan b. Ali b. Abi Uthman from a man from Hafs b. Ghiyath who said: “O Hafs! One from our Shias who dies without having a good knowledge of recitation of the Holy Quran, is taught the Holy Quran in grave so that Allah grants him great ranks. Know that the levels of Paradise are equal to the number of verses in the Holy Quran. A reciter of the Holy Quran is told over there, ‘Recite a verse of the Holy Quran and go to the next level’.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ismail b. Mihran from al-Hassan from al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi ’Ubayda al-Hadha from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: One who recites in Watr Prayer Surah Falaq and Surah Naas with Surah Tauheed, it is said to him: O Servant of Allah! Congratulations! Allah has accepted your Midnight Prayer.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Musa b. Ja’far b. Wahab al-Baghdadi from al-Hassan b. Ali al-Washa from Ahmad b. Umar al-Halabi who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) the meaning of the verse ‘If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small’. Imam (a.s.) replied, “One who keeps away from such sins due to which Allah throws one in Hell, Allah will forgive his sins and make him enter a good place (Paradise). There are seven greater sins, which condemn a person to Hell – killing an innocent, disobeying parents, taking interest, apostasy, accusing a virtuous woman of adultery, usurping the property of orphans and running away from Jihad.”

2. Imam Ridha (a.s.) says regarding the verse ‘If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small, “One who abstains from those sins for which Allah has promised Hell, Allah will forgive his (lesser) sins.”

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Allah revealed onto Prophet Dawood, ‘O Dawood! If a believer commits sins and repents for it and feels ashamed in front of Me while repenting I forgive him. I will make the angel forget this sin and convert this sin into a good deed. I do not care (it is not difficult for me) for I am the Most Merciful’.”

1. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who takes a loanee to a ruler and he knows that he has taken a false oath; but due to the sake of the respect of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, he condones the loanee, Allah would not be satisfied with nothing less than giving him the position of Ibrahim, the friend of the Beneficent.”

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. Khalid al-Barqi from the one who mentioned it from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A single scholar is better than one thousand worshippers and one thousand people who repent. If people benefit from the knowledge of a scholar he is better than seventy thousand worshippers.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who walks on the way to seek knowledge, Allah will make him walk on the way to Paradise. Angels spread their wings for the pleasure of a student and every thing in the earth and the heaven including the fishes of oceans repent for him. A scholar is better than a worshipper much in the same way as a full moon is compared to stars. The scholars are inheritors of the prophets and the value of inheritance of prophets is measured in terms of knowledge instead of wealth. Whoever got a little of their inheritance has achieved a lot.”

Muhammad al-Sulami from Jabir b. Yazid al-Ju’fi from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “No day or night of a scholar ends until he enters the Mercy of Allah. The angels call out, ‘Congratulations, O visitor of Allah! The way, which you are seeking, is the way to Paradise’.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ali b. Musa from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam from Hashim b. Safwan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who performs a deed after he comes to know its reward will get that reward although the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has said nothing about it.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who says a true thing and people follow it will also get the reward of people who performed that deed. One who says a false thing and people follow it, he too will get the punishment for the wrong deed performed by those people.”

Mahbub from Muawiyah from Maymun al-Qadah from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who enlivens a good Sunnah among people he too gets the reward of people performing that deed and the reward of those people will not diminish. One who starts a wrong practice among the people will get the punishment equal to that of the people following that wrong practice while the punishment of those people won’t be reduced.”

Sinan from Abi Hamzah al-Thumali from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Allah builds a house in Paradise for people who do four things – shelter orphans, have mercy on the weak, do good to parents and behave well with slaves.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) said, “One who does not dishonors people, the Almighty Allah will not reveal His chastisement on the Day of Judgment and one who does not gets angry with others, the Almighty Allah will ignore his sins on the Day of Judgment.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Do not deceive yourself for you will see the punishment and reward of your deeds. Do not waste your day for angels present along with you note down your deeds. I didn’t see an effect sooner than an effect of a new good deed on old sins. Do not consider a good deed small because you will see tomorrow that it will grant you happiness. Do not consider any bad deed small because you will see tomorrow that it will cause you pain. The Almighty Allah has said, ‘Surely good deeds wipe out sins and this is to be remembered’.”

Zayd from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Isa bin Maryam (a.s.) passed by a community. He asked them, ‘Why are you people crying?’ They replied, ‘We are crying over our sins’. He remarked, ‘If they give up these sins they would be forgiven’.”

1. My father (rh) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from al-Haytham b. Abi Masruq al-Nahdi from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Ibn Sinan from a man from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, revealed to David (a.s.): “Indeed, a servant from among My servants will come to Me with a good deed, and I will admit him into My Paradise." David (a.s) asked: "Oh Lord, and what is that good deed?" He (Allah) replied: "(It is he who) enters upon my believing servant with joy, even if it is with a single date." So David (a.s.) said: "O Lord, one who has recognized You is deserving that he does not cut off his hopes from You.”

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “If the Almighty Allah grants a person piety and abstinence I hope for Paradise for him. I love it very much that a believer pays attention towards Allah in his obligatory prayers and does not worry about the world. If a believer pays attention towards Allah He too turns towards him and develop His love in the hearts of believers and will Himself love that believer.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Jameel b. Salih from Dharih from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If a believer solves the problems of another believer the Almighty Allah will solve seventy problems of the world and hereafter for him. Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Judgment as a jurist and a scholar. If he handles a poor believer delicately the Almighty Allah will handle that person delicately as regards his wishes in the world and the hereafter. One who hides a fault of a believer the Almighty Allah will hide seventy faults of that person. One who helps a believing brother the Almighty Allah helps that person. Benefit from these advices and move towards goodness.”

Tooba is a tree of Jannat-e-Adn, grown by the Lord Himself.”

Maymun al-Qadah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Nothing in this universe except Allah, knows the reward of feeding a Muslim to satiation. Feeding a Muslim is one of the deeds of being forgiven of one’s sins.” Imam recited the verse: ‘…Or the giving of food in a day of hunger to an orphan, having relationship, or to the poor man lying in the dust.”13

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Abi Abdillah Ja’far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq (a.s.) who said: “One who feeds a believer to satiation, Allah will lay such a table in Paradise that all the Jinn and men could have their fill from it.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who frees a Muslim slave for the sake of Allah for each part of the body of that slave, the Almighty Allah will keep a part of his body safe from the fire of Hell.”

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who frees a believing slave for the sake of Allah, for each part of the body of that slave, the Almighty Allah will keep the parts of his body safe from the fire of Hell. If that slave is a woman for every two parts of the body of that woman, the Almighty Allah will keep a part of his body safe from the fire of Hell. Surely a woman is half that of a man.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who grants a loan to a believer and remains silent till it is repaid, his wealth will remain pure and angels will send salutations on him till that time.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْفُضَیْلِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ أَقْرَضَ مُسْلِماً قَرْضاً یُرِیدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا احْتُسِبَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا بِحِسَابِ الصَّدَقَهِ حَتَّی یَرْجِعَ إِلَیْهِ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who grants a loan to a believer it is considered as Sadaqah by Allah and he will get the reward of giving Sadaqah.”

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “The reward of a loan is eighteen times and if he dies it will be counted as Zakat.”

4. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “I like to give loan. One who loans and the money is not returned on the fixed day the creditor gets the reward of giving a dinar in charity for the delay of each day.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَاسِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ أُقْرِضُهَا مَرَّتَیْنِ أَحَبُ إِلَیَّ مِنْ [أَنْ] أَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا مَرَّهً وَ کَمَا لَا یَحِلُّ لِغَرِیمِکَ أَنْ یَمْطُلَکَ وَ هُوَ مُوسِرٌ فَکَذَلِکَ لَا یَحِلُّ أَنْ تُعْسِرَهُ إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ مُعْسِرٌ.

5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “I like to give one thousand dirhams as loan twice instead of giving them once as Sadaqah. It is not permissible for an indebted person to delay repayment if he is capable of doing so. Similarly it is not permissible to be strict when a person is not capable of repaying it.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Hassan b. al-Hassan al-Lu’lu’ee who raised it to from ’Amru b. Shimr from Jabir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “A worshipper prayed to Allah for eighty years. Then he fell in love with a woman and fulfilled his desires with her. When the angel of death approached him, he became mute. A beggar happened to pass by. That person pointed out the beggar to take the piece of bread lying in his pocket. The Almighty Allah had destroyed his worship of eighty years due to the adultery committed by him but He forgave him for offering that piece of bread.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ طَلْحَهَ بْنِ زَیْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ ع عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَا یُبْدَأُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ صَدَقَهُ الْمَاءِ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Ibn Sinan from Talha b. Zayd from Ja’far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq (a.s.) from his father (a.s.) who said: “My father used to say that the first deed to be rewarded on the Day of Judgment is offering water as Sadaqah.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ بَیَّاعِ الْهَرَوِیِّ قَالَ: کُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَذَکَرُوا الْوَجَعَ فَقَالَ دَاوُوا مَرْضَاکُمْ بِالصَّدَقَهِ وَ مَا عَلَی أَحَدِکُمْ أَنْ یَتَصَدَّقَ بِقُوتِ یَوْمِهِ إِنَّ مَلَکَ الْمَوْتِ یُرْفَعُ إِلَیْهِ الصَّکُّ بِقَبْضِ رُوحِ الْعَبْدِ فَیَتَصَدَّقُ فَیُقَالُ لَهُ رُدَّ عَلَیْهِ الصَّکَّ.

3. The narrator was present near Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) when there was a discussion about illness. Imam said, “Treat your illness with Sadaqah. Why don’t you offer a day’s food as Sadaqah? If the angel of death is ordered to take out the soul of a person and he pays Sadaqah, the angel of death is told to return.”

4. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil from Ibrahim from his father from Abdillah b. Maymun al-Qadah from Ja’far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq from his father (a.s.) who said: “No.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) asked, “Did you feed a poor?” He replied, “No.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) told him, “Go to your family and kiss them. It will be Sadaqah for them.”

5. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ya’qub b. Yazid who said I found in the book of Ibn Fadhal from Abi al-Bukhtari from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Making a deaf understand something without getting irritated is also a good charity.”

6. It was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Ahmad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Ibrahim b. Hashim from Musa b. Abi al-Hassan from al-Ridha (a.s.) who said: Imam Ridha (a.s.) narrates that there was drought in Bani Israel for many years at a stretch. A woman kept a morsel in her mouth. A beggar passed by and called out, “O woman! I am hungry.” The woman thought that she should offer Sadaqah and took out the morsel from her mouth and gave it to the beggar. The woman had a young child who had gone to collect some firewood in the forest. A wolf picked the child up and started running away. The woman started chasing that wolf. Allah sent Jibraeel at that time and he took the child from wolf and returned him to his mother and told her, “O woman! Are you happy to get the return of that morsel through this one?”

7. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Allah keeps away from sorrow, wild animals and unpleasant death one who gives charity during the day or night.”

8. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Sadaqah keeps one away from unpleasant death.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَیْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَیْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ الْبَتُولِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَرْضُ الْقِیَامَهِ نَارٌ مَا خَلَا ظِلَّ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَإِنَّ صَدَقَتَهُ تُظِلُّهُ.

9. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The ground of Qiyamat is fire except the shade of a believer. Indeed his Sadaqah shades him.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ یَقْطِینٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع فِی الرَّجُلِ یَکُونُ عِنْدَهُ الشَّیْ ءُ أَ یَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ أَفْضَلُ أَمْ یَشْتَرِی بِهِ فَقَالَ الصَّدَقَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَیَّ.

10. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) was asked, “Is it better for a rich person to give Sadaqah or to buy a slave and free him?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “I prefer Sadaqah.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ غَالِبٍ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: الْبِرُّ وَ الصَّدَقَهُ یَنْفِیَانِ الْفَقْرَ وَ یَزِیدَانِ فِی الْعُمُرِ وَ یَدْفَعَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا سَبْعِینَ مِیتَهَ سَوْءٍ.

11. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Safwan b. Yahya from Ishaq b. Ghalib from the one the person that narrated to him from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Good deeds and Sadaqah keep poverty away, increases life. A person who does good deeds and gives Sadaqah is safe from seventy types of unpleasant deaths.”

12. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said that once he gave a dinar as Sadaqah. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) told him, “O Ali! Don’t you know, that before a believer gives Sadaqah seventy Satans are released and they plead him not to do so. This Sadaqah passes through the hands of Allah before reaching the hands of the beggar.” Then he recited the verse: ‘Don’t you know that only Allah accepts the repentance of the servants and takes Sadaqah. Surely Allah is the Greatest Forgiver and Most Merciful.”

13. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Khalaf b. Hamad from Ismail al-Jawahiri from Abi Basir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “I like to feed a Muslim family, clothe them and safeguard their honor instead of going for a Hajj.” Then he went on increasing the number of Hajj by one comparing them with care of a family till he reached ten. Further he increased the number of Hajj in multiples of ten comparing them with care of a family till he reached seventy.

14. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If eighty people do a good deed together each person will get the reward equal to that of all the people without decrease in the reward of any one of them.”

15. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The Sadaqah given at the time of prosperity is the best Sadaqah.”

أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَیُّ الصَّدَقَهِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ یُؤْثِرُونَ عَلی أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ لَوْ کانَ بِهِمْ خَصاصَهٌ تَرَی هَاهُنَا فَضْلًا.

16. Abi (rah) from Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr from Muhammad b. Sama’a from Ibn Mihran from his father from Abi Basir from one of them who said: The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) or Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Which Sadaqah is the best?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Sadaqah given from a little wealth. Didn’t you hear Allah’s saying: ‘and prefer (them) before themselves though poverty may afflict them’? Do you realize its excellence now?”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ الصَّدَقَهُ بِالْیَدِ تَدْفَعُ مِیتَهَ السَّوْءِ وَ تَدْفَعُ سَبْعِینَ نَوْعاً مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ تُفَکُّ عَنْ لُحِیِّ سَبْعِینَ شَیْطَاناً کُلُّهُمْ یَأْمُرُونَ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلْ.

17. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Giving Sadaqah with hand keeps away unpleasant death. It keeps away seventy types of calamities and opens Satanic mouths all stopping the person from giving Sadaqah.”

أَبِی ره عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَیُّ الصَّدَقَهِ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ عَلَی ذِی الرَّحِمِ الْکَاشِحِ.

18. Abi (rah) from Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked, “Which Sadaqah is better?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “Giving Sadaqah to an inimical relative.”

19. Abi (rah) from Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. Isa al-Yaqteeni from ’Amru b. Ibrahim from Khalaf b. Hamad from the one who mentioned it from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah keeps seventy calamities away from one who gives Sadaqah in the month of Ramadan.”

20. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Muhammad b. Adhafir from ’Amru b. Yazid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) was asked, “Should we give Sadaqah to beggars or to our near relatives?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Give it to your near relatives for it carries greater reward.”

1. It was narrated to me by Hamzah b. Muhammad who said it was narrated to us by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Fadhal from Abdillah b. Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Giving Sadaqah at night keeps away unpleasant death and seventy types of calamities.”

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Sa’dan b. Muslim from Mu’alla b. Khunays who said: “Whenever my father used to give Sadaqah, he used to take it back from the hands of the beggar, kiss that Sadaqah and smell it and then return it to him. He used to do it so because Sadaqah goes into the hands of Allah before going into the hands of beggar. He used to say that I like to have in my hands too what Allah’s hands had held. Giving Sadaqah in darkness reduces the anger of Allah and wipes greater sins. It makes accounting of deeds easier. Sadaqah given during day causes abundance in wealth and life. Once Isa Ibne Maryam passed by a sea. He dropped his food in the sea. One of his companions asked, “O Ruhullah! Why did you do so? It was your food, why did you drop it?” He replied, “I dropped it so that the marine creatures consume it. It carries a great reward in front of Allah.”

Mahbub from Hamad from Sadeer from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Some people would be sitting on the chairs of light under the shade of the Divine Throne having bright faces and wearing illuminated dresses. People will wonder, ‘Are they prophets?’ A caller would say, ‘No’. People will ask, ‘Are they martyrs?’ The caller would reply, ‘They are not martyrs. They used to remain lenient with the believers and used to give time to debtors to repay loans and used to ask them to repay the loan whenever they are capable of it’.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Ibrahim b. Abdul-Hameed who said: The narrator told Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Abdur Rahman bin Siyabah had taken some money from a person and he died without repaying it. We asked that man to write off the loan but he did not accept.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Pity on that man. Didn’t he know that had he forgiven it, he would have got ten rewards for each dirham and now he will get a dirham only for each dirham?”

1. Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) said, “One who fulfils a need of a brother is like one who has begun with the desire of Allah. The Almighty Allah will fulfill his hundred desires, one of which is Paradise. One who solves the difficulty of a brother Allah will solve his difficulties on the Day of Judgment whatever be their number. One who helps a brother against an unjust man the Almighty Allah will save him from stumbling so that he can pass through the Sirat Bridge. One who tries to fulfill the desire of a brother and successfully does so is like a person who has pleased the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.). One who satisfies the thirst of a person, Allah will offer him the drink of Makhtum (sealed). One who feeds a hungry person, Allah will give him fruits of Paradise to eat. If someone dresses a bare person Allah will grant him dresses made of satin and silk. One who dresses someone else, the former will remain in Allah’s protection till that person is wearing the dress and even if a single thread is remaining. If someone protects the honor of a person Allah will appoint Wildan-e-Mukhalladin (boys who remain in Paradise forever) to serve him. If someone offers his mount to a person, Allah will make him ride a camel of Paradise and the angels will feel proud of him. One who gives shroud to a believing brother he is like a baby just born. If a person marries someone off to a loving and caring woman Allah will give him a beautiful face in grave, which will make his relatives happy. One who visits an ailing brother angels surround him and pray for him till he returns. Then angels tell him, ‘You have become pure. Congratulations for getting a pure Paradise’. By Allah, I consider fulfilling the wish of a person better than fasting for those two consecutive months while spending two sacred months in Etekaf.”

The Almighty Allah orders the angels to stay away from believers while they are conversing so that they do not note down the conversation nor do they know about it. Their conversation is known to only Allah, the Guardian of secrets. O Ishaq! Fear Allah as if you are seeing Him because even if you cannot see Him, He is definitely looking at you. If you think that He is not seeing you, you will become an infidel. If you have a belief that He is looking you and you hide your sins from other creatures and reveal them in front of Allah you have really underestimated His Sight.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Hamad b. Isa from Ibrahim b. Umar al-Yamani from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who helps an oppressed believer its reward is better than that of fasting for a month and performing Etekaf in Masjidul Haraam. One who is capable of helping a Muslim and helps him, the Almighty Allah will help him in the world and the hereafter. If a believer is being backbited and a person capable of helping him remains silent and does not defend him, the Almighty Allah will make him deprived in the world and the hereafter.”

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Ali b. Riyab from Abi al-Ward from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: "Whoever defends and supports his believing brother when he is being backbitten, Allah will support him in this world and the Hereafter. But whoever does not defend him, nor support him, nor repel the backbiting while he has the ability to do so, Allah will abase him in this world and the Hereafter."

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “I consider it better to resolve conflict between two friends better than giving two dinars as Sadaqah.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Resolving a conflict between two friends is better than worship of one year.”

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who heeds the call of a Muslim and relieves him of sorrow and difficulty Allah writes ten rewards for him, increases his rank by ten levels, grants him reward of freeing ten slaves, drives ten calamities away and will grant him ten intercessions on the Day of Judgment.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْغِفَارِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَکْرَمَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ بِکَلِمَهٍ یُلْطِفُهُ بِهَا وَ یُفَرِّجُ کُرْبَتَهُ لَمْ یَزَلْ فِی ظِلِّ اللَّهِ الْمَمْدُودِ وَ الرَّحْمَهِ مَا کَانَ فِی ذَلِکَ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who respects a Muslim while conversing, Allah will love him and solve his difficulties. That person will remain in Allah’s mercy till he continues doing so.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ زَیْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ مَنْ أَغَاثَ أَخَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ اللَّهْفَانَ عِنْدَ جَهْدِهِ فَنَفَّسَ کُرْبَتَهُ وَ أَعَانَهُ عَلَی نَجَاحِ حَاجَتِهِ کَانَتْ لَهُ بِذَلِکَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ اثْنَتَانِ وَ سَبْعُونَ رَحْمَهً مِنَ اللَّهِ یُعَجِّلُ لَهُ مِنْهَا وَاحِدَهً تصلح [یُصْلِحُ] بِهَا مَعِیشَتَهُ وَ یَدَّخِرُ لَهُ إِحْدَی وَ سَبْعِینَ رَحْمَهً لِأَفْزَاعِ یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ أَهْوَالِهَا.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who goes to a brother at the time of his difficulty and solves his problem and helps him in fulfilling his wishes, seventy-two blessings of Allah will be sent down on him for this deed. Out of which, one will be to improve his worldly life and the remaining seventy-one will be a reserved against fear of Qiyamat.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ نُعَیْمٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ کِرْدِینٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ کُرْبَهً نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ کُرَبَ الْآخِرَهِ وَ خَرَجَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ وَ هُوَ ثَلِجُ الْفُؤَادِ وَ مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ مِنْ جُوعٍ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ ثِمَارَ الْجَنَّهِ وَ مَنْ سَقَاهُ شَرْبَهَ مَاءٍ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الرَّحِیقِ الْمَخْتُومِ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who solves the problem of a believer, Allah will keep the difficulties of hereafter away from him and take him out of grave with peace of heart. One who feeds a hungry Muslim will get the fruits of Paradise to eat. One who offers water to a thirsty will get the drink of Makhtum.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ سَرَّ امْرَأً مُؤْمِناً سَرَّهُ اللَّهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ قِیلَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ عَلَی رَبِّکَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَقَدْ کُنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَسُرَّ أَوْلِیَاءَهُ فِی دَارِ الدُّنْیَا فَیُعْطَی مَا تَمَنَّی وَ یَزِیدُهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مَا لَمْ یَخْطُرْ عَلَی قَلْبِهِ مِنْ نَعِیمِ الْجَنَّهِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who keeps a believer happy, the Almighty Allah will make that person happy on the Day of Judgment and he will be told to ask for whatever he wants as a reward of keeping the lovers of Allah happy in the world. Therefore He would give you whatever you desire and Allah would bestow such bounties of Paradise as you have not even imagined.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْغِفَارِیُّ عَنْ لُوطِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یُدْخِلُ عَلَی أَهْلِ بَیْتِ مُؤْمِنٍ سُرُوراً إِلَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ السُّرُورِ خَلْقاً یَجِیئُهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ کُلَّمَا مَرَّتْ عَلَیْهِ شَدِیدَهٌ یَقُولُ یَا وَلِیَّ اللَّهِ لَا تَخَفْ فَیَقُولُ لَهُ مَنْ أَنْتَ یَرْحَمُکَ اللَّهُ فَلَوْ أَنَّ الدُّنْیَا کَانَتْ لِی مَا رَأَیْتُهَا لَکَ شَیْئاً فَیَقُولُ أَنَا السُّرُورُ الَّذِی أَدْخَلْتَ عَلَی آلِ فُلَانٍ.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who makes a believing family pleased, the Almighty Allah would make a creature out of those pleasures on the Day of Judgment. It will come to that person whenever he is in some problem. It will help him and say, ‘O lover of Allah! Do not fear’. He will ask, ‘May Allah’s mercy be upon you, who are you? If I would have owned the whole world then too it had no comparison with you’. It will reply, ‘I am the happiness you gave to such and such family’.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “When Allah resurrects a believer from his grave, He will also resurrect a person of his like, which will walk ahead of him. Whenever the believer will face a difficulty or fear on the Day of Judgment, this look-like will say, ‘Do not be sorrowful or fearful. There are glad-tidings for you from Allah’. It will continuously congratulate him till they reach the presence of Allah. His accounting of deeds will be easy and he will be ordered to enter Paradise and that look-alike will follow him. He will say to that creature, ‘Peace be upon you, for you were there with me in my grave and you are such a nice thing to come out of my grave that you are continuously giving me happiness since the time I saw you. Tell me who are you?’ It will reply, ‘I am the happiness that you gave to a believing brother in the world. Allah created me of that to give you glad-tidings’.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ja’far who said it was narrated to me by Musa b. ’Imran from al-Hussain b. Yazid who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Giving Sadaqah to a Muslim so much that the latter is satisfied is dearer to me than feeding one Afaq men.” The narrator asked, “What is meant by one Afaq?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “A hundred thousand or more than that.”

1. Dawood Raqqi narrates that his wife Rabab said: I prepared a sweet dish of dates and took it to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.). He ate it himself as well as offered it to his companions. She heard him say, “One who offers a morsel of sweet to a believer, Allah will keep the bitterness of the Day of Judgment away from him.”

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who loves his brother in any way, Allah will order the servants from Paradise to serve him.”

1. It is narrated that Imam Ridha (a.s.) said, “One who benefits from a brother for the sake of Allah, Allah will permit him to benefit from a house in Paradise.”

1. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Nadhar b. Wakee’ from al-Rabee’ b. Sabeeh who raised this narration to The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “One who meets a believer to please him, Allah will make the former happy on the Day of Judgment. One who meets a believer to make him sad, Allah will make the former sad on the Day of Judgment.”

1. It is narrated that Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “People who love each other for the sake of Allah will be sitting on the pulpits of light on the Day of Judgment. Their faces and body will be illuminated and the light of pulpits will illuminate everything. People will recognize those people as those who loved each other for the sake of Allah.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who goes to a valley and remembers and supplicates the Almighty Allah spreading his hands, the Almighty Allah will fill the entire valley with goodness for every big and small thing present there.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. Isa from Abbas b. Hilal al-Shami from Abi al-Hassan al-Ridha from his father (a.s.) who said: Imam Ridha (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that one who recites the following verse before going to bed, his house will never be damaged: Innallaaha yumassikus samaawaati wal arz”a antazoolaa wala-in zaalataa in amsakahumaa min ah’adim mim ba’dihi innahu kaanaa h’aleeman ghafooraa.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Isa from Abbas slave of al-Ridha from Abi al-Hassan (a.s.) who said: “One who recites the following supplication after Azaan of Morning and Maghrib Prayers and if he dies on that day or night he would have died after repenting (forgiven): Allaahumma innee as-aluka bi-iqbaali nahaarika wa idbaari lailika wa h’uz”oori s’alawaatika wa as’waati duaa’tika an tatooba a’layya innaka antat tawwaabur rah’eem.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Allah says: One who supplicates to Me after knowing that only I am capable of benefiting as well as harming, I will accept his supplication.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُکَیْرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ حِینَ یَأْخُذُ مَضْجَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِی عَلَا فَقَهَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِی بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِی مَلَکَ فَقَدَرَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِی یُحْیِی الْمَوْتَی وَ یُمِیتُ الْأَحْیَاءَ- وَ هُوَ عَلی کُلِّ شَیْ ءٍ قَدِیرٌ خَرَجَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ کَهَیْئَهِ یَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Muhammad b. Bukayr from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Alh’amdulillaahilladhee a’laa faqahara walh’amdu lillaahilladhee bat’ana fakhabara wal h’amdulillaahilladhee malaka faqadara wal h’amdulillaahilladhee yuh’yil mautaa wa yumeetul ah’yaa-u wa huwa a’laa kulli shai-in Qadeer thrice before going to bed will become as pure as a newborn baby.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from al-Talisani [al-Tayalisi] from Fudhayl from Muawiyah b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who supplicates for a Muslim brother in his absence, it will increase his income. His problems will end and angels will tell him, ‘You will get twice what you prayed for your believing brother’.”

1. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “Reciting salutations on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) wipes the sins sooner than the time taken by water to extinguish fire. Reciting salutations on him is better than freeing a few slaves. It is better than sacrificing lives and fighting with a sword in the way of Allah.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Salamah b. al-Khattab from Ismail b. Ja’far from al-Hussain b. Ali from his father from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Whenever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) is mentioned, send salutations on him excessively. One who sends salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) once, the Almighty Allah will order one thousand rows having a thousand angels each to send salutation on that person. Everything in this universe will send salutations on him because of the salutations of Allah and the angels. Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w.s.) are wary of ignorant and proud people. Hence no one hesitates reciting salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) except an ignorant and a proud man.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Hassan b. Ali from al-Abbas b. ’Amir from Ahmad b. Rizq-Allah from Yahya b. al-’Ala from Jabir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: ‘O Lord! Have mercy on me for the sake of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny’ Allah will order Jibraeel (a.s.) to go down and grant salvation to him. Jibraeel (a.s.) will ask, ‘How should I get down in fire?’ Allah will say: I have ordered it to remain cool for you and you will not be harmed. Jibraeel (a.s.) will ask, ‘O Lord! Tell me where is that servant of Yours?’ Allah will say that he is in the well of Sijjil. Jibraeel (a.s.) will go there and remove him from fire. Allah will ask, ‘O slave of Mine! For how long did you remain there?’ He will reply, ‘O Lord! It is not possible for me to estimate it’. Allah will swear by His Honor and say: I would have kept you in Hell in the same state if you hadn’t prayed to Me in this way. I have made it obligatory for Myself to forgive any number of sins of one who supplicates in the name of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny just like I forgave you this day.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “I will stand near Mizan on the Day of Judgment. If I see a person whose sins are more than his good deeds I will keep the salutations recited on me by him in the pan of good deeds and make it tilt in his favor.”

2. The narrator told Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “When I entered the house of Allah, I didn’t remember any supplication except salutations on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).” Imam (a.s.) replied, “No one present there did a better deed than you.”

3. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “No supplication reaches the heaven unless one recites salutation on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from the one that narrated to him from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that he has read in a heavenly scripture, “Allah will write a thousand rewards for one who sends salutations on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ridha (a.s.) said, “One who recites: Innallaaha wa malaa-ikatahu yus’alloona a’lan nabiyyi yaa ayyuhalladheenaa aamanoo s’alloo a’laihi wa sallimoo tasleemaa. Allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa aali muh’ammad immediately after Morning and Maghrib Prayers, the Almighty Allah will fulfill his one hundred wishes out of which seventy will be fulfilled in the world and thirty in the hereafter.” The narrator asked, “What is meant by the salutation of Allah, angels and the believers?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The salutation of Allah is sending down of His mercy. The salutation of angels is his glorification and the salutation of the believers is a supplication for him. One of the secrets of Aale Muhammad is in the salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny: Allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa aali muh’ammadin fil malaa-il a- a’laa wa s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa aali muh’ammadin fil mursaleen. Allaahumma’t’i muh’ammadal waseelata washsharafa wal faz”eelata waddarajatal kabeeah. Allaahumma innee aamantu bimuh’ammadinw wa lam arahu falaa tah’rimnee yaumal qiyaamati ru-yatahu warzuqnee suh’batahu wa tawaffanee a’laa millatihi wasqinee min h’auz”ihi mashrabar rawiyyan saa-ighan hanee-al laa az’ma-u ba’dahu abadaa. Innaka a’laa kulli shai-in Qadeer. Allaahumma kamaa aamantu bimuh’ammadinw wa lam arahu fa-a’rrifnee filjinaani waj- hah. Allaahumma balligh rooh’a muh’ammadin a’nnee tah’iyyatan katheeratanw wa salaamaa. One who recites this salutation thrice everyday in morning and in the evening, his sins are wiped off and forgiven. He will remain happy forever. His supplications will be accepted. His wishes will be fulfilled. His earnings will improve. He will get assistance against his enemy. Causes of good deeds will come to him and he will get the company of prophets in high gardens.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi who said it was narrated to us by Abi from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Mazarim who said who said Abu Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Send salutation of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny before asking for anything from Allah.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Ali b. Ma’bad from Wasil b. Abdillah from Abdillah b. Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: ‘O My servant! Your supplications are accepted and you are fortunate. O angels! Recite seventy salutations on him and I will recite seven hundred salutations on him’.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) went on to say, “One who recites salutation on me but does not do so on my progeny there are seventy veils between that salutation and heaven. The Almighty Allah tells him, ‘There is no reply or fortune for you. O angels do not bring his supplication to Me if he does not supplement his salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) with the salutation on his holy progeny’. If one does not join the salutation on my Ahle Bayt along with mine his prayers will remain in the veil (unanswered) forever.”

1. The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Which is the best deed on Friday?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Reciting Durood on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny a hundred times after Salaat-e-Asr on Friday. It is better to recite more than that.”

قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ فِی رِوَایَهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَیَابَهَ وَ ابْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ نَاجِیَهَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ: إِذَا صَلَّیْتَ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَوْصِیَاءِ الْمَرْضِیِّینَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِکَ وَ بَارِکْ عَلَیْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَکَاتِکَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَیْهِ وَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ عَلَی أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَهُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَکَاتُهُ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَکَ مِائَهَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَهٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْکَ مِائَهَ أَلْفِ سَیِّئَهٍ وَ قَضَی لَکَ بِهَا مِائَهَ أَلْفِ حَاجَهٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَکَ بِهَا مِائَهَ أَلْفِ دَرَجَهٍ.

2. Who said Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah and in the narration of Abdillah b. Sayabeh and Ibn Ismail from Najayh from one of the Imams (a.s.) who said: It is narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) or Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that one should recite the following supplication after Friday Prayer: Allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa aali muh’ammadin al-aus’iyaa-il marz”eena bi-afz”ali s’alawaatika wa baarik a’laihim bi- afz”ali barakaatika was salaamu a’laihi wa a’laihim wa a’laa arwaah’ihim wa ajsaadihim wa rah’matullaahi wa barakaatuh. The Almighty Allah writes a hundred thousand rewards for the reciter and wipes a hundred thousand sins and fulfils a hundred thousand wishes and increases the position by a hundred thousand levels.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَهَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَی السَّابَاطِیِّ قَالَ: کُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَیْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا هَذَا لَقَدْ ضَیَّقْتَ عَلَیْنَا أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ خَمْسَهٌ أَصْحَابُ الْکِسَاءِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ کَیْفَ أَقُولُ قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَنَکُونَ نَحْنُ وَ شِیعَتُنَا قَدْ دَخَلْنَا فِیهِ.

3. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from his father from ’Amru b. Sa’eed from Musdaq b. Sadaqah from Ammar b. Musa al-Sabati who said: “I was in the presence of Abi Abdillah (a.s.), thus a person said, "O Allah, send your blessings upon Muhammad and the household (i.e. Ahl al-Bayt) of Muhammad." So Abu Abdullah (a.s.) said to him: "O man, you have excluded us. Don’t you know that the household are five [which are] the people of the cloak?” He asked, “How should I say?” He (a.s.) replied, “Say: O Allah, send your blessings upon Muhammad and the family (i.e. Al) of Muhammad, and so, we and our Shias are included in it.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ja’far who said it was narrated to me by Musa b. ’Imran from al-Hussain b. Yazid from Muawiyah b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites: Rabbi s’alli a’laa muh’ammadinw wa ahli baitih a hundred times in a day, Allah will fulfill his hundred wishes during that day – thirty of which are related to this world while remaining seventy are related to the hereafter.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Recite salutation loudly, for it keeps away hypocrisy from you.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Musa from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Muawiyah b. Wahab from ’Amru b. Yazid from Salim al-Makki from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “If he appears on the Day of Judgment without leaving these actions purposely after every prayer Allah will open all eight doors of Paradise for him and he will be free to enter Paradise from whichever door he wishes.”

1. It was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Muhammad from Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hassan b. Ali b. Fadhal from Ghalib b. Uthman from Shu’aib from a man from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who controls himself at the time of fear and anger, Allah will prohibit fire for his body.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “Amr bin Maroof and Nahi Anil Munkar are the creatures of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. One who helps them has honored Allah. One who insults them, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime will disgrace him.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمِّی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ یَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا اجْتَمَعَ أَرْبَعَهٌ قَطُّ عَلَی أَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ یدعوا [فَدَعَوْا] إِلَّا تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْ إِجَابَهٍ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from Muhammad b. Ali from Yunis b. Ya’qub from Abd al-A’la from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If four people gather and supplicate together their supplication is accepted before they disperse.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Abi Humam Ismail b. Humam from Abi al-Hassan al-Ridha (a.s.) who said: “A supplication done secretly is better than seventy supplications done openly.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَامُورَانِیُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ حَمْزَهَ الْبَطَائِنِیِّ عَنْ مَنْدَلِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ أَبِی الصَّبَّاحِ الْکِنَانِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یُحِبُّ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ کُلَّ دَعَّاءٍ فَعَلَیْکُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ فِی السَّحَرِ إِلَی طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِنَّهَا سَاعَهٌ تُفْتَحُ فِیهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَ تَهُبُّ الرِّیَاحُ وَ تُقَسَّمُ فِیهَا الْأَرْزَاقُ وَ تُقْضَی فِیهَا الْحَوَائِجُ الْعِظَامُ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi who said it was narrated to me by Abu Abdillah al-Jamurani from al-Hassan b. Ali b. Hamzah al-Bata’ini from Mandal b. Ali from Abi al-Sabah al-Kanani from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Allah loves all the supplications of a believer. I advise you to supplicate between dawn and sunrise because the doors of heaven are opened, breeze of mercy blows, sustenance is distributed and greatest wishes are fulfilled during that time.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ ع أَنَّهُ کَانَ یَقُولُ مَنْ دَعَا لِإِخْوَانِهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِینَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنْ کُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مَلَکاً یَدْعُو لَهُ.

1. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “One who supplicates for believers, the Almighty Allah appoints an angel for each believer to supplicate for that person.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یَدْعُو لِلْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِینَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ الْأَحْیَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ إِلَّا کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُؤْمِنَهٍ حَسَنَهً مُنْذُ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ إِلَی أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَهُ.

2. And from the previous chain from Abi al-Hassan al-Ridha (a.s.) who said: “No believer supplicates for a living or dead believing men and women and Muslim men and women but that the Almighty Allah writes for him the reward of the good deeds of all believers from Adam (a.s.) till Qiyamat.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبِی عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ فَضْلِ بْنِ یُوسُفَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ خَمْسَاً وَ عِشْرِینَ مَرَّهً اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِینَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ کُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مَضَی وَ کُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ بَقِیَ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ حَسَنَهً وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ سَیِّئَهً وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ دَرَجَهً.

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Abi from Ali b. al-Nu’man from Fadhl b. Yusif from Abdillah b. Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites twenty five times everyday: Allaahummagh fir lil mu-mineena wal mu- minaati wal muslimeena wal muslimaat the Almighty Allah will write for him the reward of all the believers who passed away till those are yet to be born and wipe his sins out and increase his rank.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الحارفی [الْحَارِثِیِ] عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ دَعَا لِلْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ إِلَّا رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِی دَعَا لَهُمْ مِنْ کُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُؤْمِنَهٍ مَضَی مِنْ أَوَّلِ الدَّهْرِ وَ هُوَ آتٍ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَیُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَی النَّارِ یُسْحَبُ فَیَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ یَا رَبَّنَا هَذَا الَّذِی کَانَ یَدْعُو لَنَا فَشَفِّعْنَا فِیهِ فَیُشَفِّعُهُمُ اللَّهُ فِیهِ فَیَنْجُو مِنَ النَّارِ.

4. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “No one supplicates for believing men or women except that the Almighty Allah will accept the same supplication for him corresponding to the number of believers who passed away until those who will be born till the Day of Judgment. If an order is given to take that person to Paradise those believers will call out, ‘O Lord! He is the same person who supplicated for us. We stand to save him’. The Almighty Allah will accept their intercession and save him from the fire (of Hell).”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَیْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُکُمْ فَلْیَعُمَّ فَإِنَّهُ أَوْجَبُ لِلدُّعَاءِ.

5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “When one of you supplicates it should be for everyone in general, because it a factor for acceptance of supplications.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع کَانَ یَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیمِ دَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ سَبْعِینَ نَوْعاً مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ أَیْسَرُهَا الْخَنْقُ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Allah, the Mighty and Sublime will remove seventy types of calamities from the one who says ‘Laa h’aula wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a’liyyil a’z’eem’ the least of which is death due to suffocation.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِی کُلِّ یَوْمٍ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ دَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَنْهُ سَبْعِینَ نَوْعاً مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ أَیْسَرُهَا الْهَمُّ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ibrahim b. Hashim from ’Amru b. Uthman from Muhammad b. Adhafir from ’Amru b. Yazid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Allah will remove seventy types of calamities from the one who says a hundred times everyday: ‘Laa h’aula wa laa quwwata illaa billaah’ the least of which is sorrow.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muawiyah b. Hakeem from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Aban b. Uthman from Muhammad b. Sa’eed from ’Atiyyah al-’Ufa from Abi Sa’eed al-Khudri from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: ‘How can I misguide a person who is guided, protected and needless?’”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ اللُّؤْلُؤِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ یَحْیَی بْنِ زَکَرِیَّا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ الثُّمَالِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِیَّ بْنَ الْحُسَیْنِ ع یَقُولُ مَنْ کَبَّرَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ مِائَهَ تَکْبِیرَهٍ کَانَ کَمَنْ عتق [أَعْتَقَ] مِائَهَ نَسَمَهٍ.

1. Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) said, “One who recites Takbir a hundred times in the evening is like one who has emancipated a hundred slaves.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ أَبِی هَارُونَ الْمَکْفُوفِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لِأَبِی هَارُونَ الْمَکْفُوفِ یَا أَبَا هَارُونَ إِنَّا نَأْمُرُ صِبْیَانَنَا بِتَسْبِیحِ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع کَمَا نَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالصَّلَاهِ فَالْزَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ یَلْزَمْهُ عَبْدٌ فَیَشْقَی.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told Abu Haroon Makfuf, “O Abu Haroon! We advise our children to recite Tasbih of Zahra (s.a.) much in the same way as we do to offer Salaat. You too recite this Tasbih for one who does not recite it, is unfortunate.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ الْبَجَلِیِّ ابْنِ أَخِی صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ أَبِی الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ نُعَیْمٍ الْعَائِذِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع مَنْ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِیحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ غُفِرَ لَهُ وَ هِیَ مِائَهٌ بِاللِّسَانِ وَ أَلْفٌ فِی الْمِیزَانِ وَ تَطْرُدُ الشَّیْطَانَ وَ تُرْضِی الرَّحْمَنَ.

2. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) said, “One who seeks forgiveness after reciting Tasbih of Zahra (s.a.) will be forgiven. Although it is recited a hundred times, it is equal to one thousand Tasbih in Mizan. It keeps Satan away and pleases the Merciful.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ أَبِی خَلَفٍ الْقَمَّاطِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ تَسْبِیحُ فَاطِمَهَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع فِی کُلِّ یَوْمٍ فِی دُبُرِ کُلِّ صَلَاهٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَیَّ مِنْ صَلَاهِ أَلْفِ رَکْعَهٍ فِی کُلِّ یَوْمٍ.

3. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “I like reciting this Tasbih every day after Salaat more than offering a thousand rakats of prayer daily.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ بْنِ أَبِی نَجْرَانَ عَنْ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِیحَ فَاطِمَهَ ع قَبْلَ أَنْ یَثْنِیَ رِجْلَیْهِ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ الْفَرِیضَهِ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ یَبْدَأُ بِالتَّکْبِیرِ.

4. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Allah forgives one who recites Tasbih of Zahra (s.a.) before getting up after Salaat. One should begin it by reciting Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar).”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا یَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ یُکْتَبُ مُحْسِناً مَا دَامَ سَاکِتاً فَإِذَا تَکَلَّمَ کُتِبَ مُحْسِناً أَوْ مُسِیئاً.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Musa b. ’Imran from Ali b. al-Hussain b. Ribat from some of his men from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A believer is counted among virtuous till he is silent. As soon as he speaks, he is included either among good people or bad ones.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِکُلِّ دَاءٍ دَوَاءٌ وَ دَوَاءُ الذُّنُوبِ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “There is a cure for every malady and the cure of sins is repentance.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ عِیسَی بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ سَلَّامٍ الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ مِائَهَ مَرَّهٍ حِینَ یَنَامُ بَاتَ وَ قَدْ تَحَاتَّتِ الذُّنُوبُ کُلُّهَا عَنْهُ کَمَا تَتَحَاتُّ الْوَرَقُ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ یُصْبِحُ وَ لَیْسَ عَلَیْهِ ذَنْبٌ.

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from al-Hussain b. Ali from Isa b. Hisham from Salam al-Hannat from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who seeks the forgiveness of Allah a hundred times at bedtime all his sins are destroyed like dry leaves of a tree fall off and none of his sins remains in the morning.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَقُولُ مُقَامِی فِیکُمْ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَکُمْ حِصْنٌ حَصِینٌ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ فَمَضَی أَکْثَرُ الْحِصْنَیْنِ وَ بَقِیَ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ فَأَکْثِرُوا مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَمْحَاهٌ لِلذُّنُوبِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ ما کانَ اللَّهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِیهِمْ وَ ما کانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

3. It is narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “My presence among you and your repentance is a strong fortress to remain safe from chastisement.” Imam said, “Now our great protection is no longer with the world and the only thing remaining is repentance. So repent a lot for it wipes sins as Almighty Allah says: But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness.”15

Sahl who said: The narrator wrote to Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) to let him know those deeds, which will keep him along with Imam (a.s.) in this world and the hereafter. Imam (a.s.) replied, “Recite Innaa anzalnaa (Surah Qadr) extensively and your tongue should not stop from repenting.”

5. Imam Muhammad (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who has Astaghfirullaah written under each of his sin on the Day of Judgment is indeed fortunate.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Musa b. Ja’far al-Baghdadi from Muhammad b. Jumhur from Abdillah b. Abdulrahman from Muhammad b. Abi Hamzah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Astaghfirullaahalladhee laa ilaaha illaa huwar rah’maanur rah’eemul h’ayyul qayyoomu wa atoobu ilaih seventy times every day in the month of Shaban his name will be noted in Afaq-e-Mubeen.” The narrator asked, “What is this Afaq-e- Mubeen?” There is a vast forest in front of the Divine Throne, which has springs flowing in it and has cups equal to the number of stars.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ali b. al-Sindi from Muhammad b. ’Amru b. Sahl from Harun b. Kharija from Jabir al-Ju’fi from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who seeks forgiveness of Allah seventy times after the Morning Prayer Allah forgives him even if he has committed seventy thousand sins in the previous day and one who has committed more than seventy thousand sins there is no good for him.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who performs four deeds, becomes deserving of a great light of Allah. They are: testifying that there is no Lord except Allah and I am His prophet, saying Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji-oo’n at the time of difficulty, saying Alh’amdulillaah on hearing a good news and saying Astaghfirullaah on committing a sin.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The deed that is rewarded soon is a good action and the deed punished soon is injustice. The deed is bad enough when a person sees faults in others but is blind as far as his self is concerned and he advises people to avoid sins but does not avoid them himself and if he troubles with useless talk those who sit with him.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ali b. Musa from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam from Sayf from Abdulrahman b. Sayabeh from Ibn Ishaq from al-Harith from Ameer al-Mumineen (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Fa sub- h’aanallaahi h’eena tumsoona wa h’eena tus’bih’oona wa lahul h’amdu fis samaawaati wal arz”i wa a’shiyyanw wa h’eena tuz’hiroon thrice at night has received all the rewards of that night and distanced all the mischief. One who recites it in the morning will receive all the good and kept away from all the mischief of that day.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Ali b. Mahziyar from Ja’far b. Basheer from Sayf from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who does not feel shy in earning his sustenance and meets his expenses is prosperous and has a good family. One who observes piety in the world, Allah fills his heart with wisdom, makes his tongue speak, keeps him away from worldly defects, diseases and their treatments and takes him to the ‘abode of peace’ (Daarus Salaam) safe and sound.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Surely an angel descends carrying a scroll in the beginning of day and night and writes the deeds of men. Hence one should do good deeds in the beginning of day and night. God willing, you will be forgiven during the other times also if Allah wills, because Allah, the Mighty and Sublime says: ‘Therefore remember Me, I will remember you’. And He says: ‘and certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest’.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far from Ibrahim b. Mahziyar from his brother Ali b. Mahziyar from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Mansur b. Yunis from Muhammad b. Marwan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “There is nothing but that it has a measure and a weight except the tears. For indeed a drop of it can extinguish a sea of fire. And when ones eyes are filled with tears, his face will never see poverty or disgrace. And when tears are flowing, Allah prohibits the fire of Hell on it and even if one person is weeping the whole community is dealt with mercy (by Allah).”

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Tooba (congratulations) for that face which Allah sees mercifully and that person who is weeping over his sins in fear of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime and none else is aware of this sin.”

حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَهْزِیَارَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ یُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ الثُّمَالِیِّ عَنْ زَیْنِ الْعَابِدِینَ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ وَ عِزَّتِی وَ عَظَمَتِی وَ جَلَالِی وَ بَهَائِی وَ عُلُوِّی وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَکَانِی لَا یُؤْثِرُ عَبْدٌ هَوَایَ عَلَی هَوَاهُ إِلَّا جَعَلْتُ هَمَّهُ فِی آخِرَتِهِ وَ غِنَاهُ فِی قَلْبِهِ وَ کَفَفْتُ عَلَیْهِ صَنِیعَتَهُ وَ ضَمَّنْتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ رِزْقَهُ وَ آتیه [أَتَتْهُ] الدُّنْیَا وَ هِیَ رَاغِمَهٌ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) said that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime says, “(I swear) by My Honor, Greatness, Beauty, Strength and high-rank, one who gives preference to My pleasure over his desires I will fulfill the aim of his hereafter. I will make his heart self-sufficient, earth and heavens are guarantors of his sustenance and he will get worldly wealth even without desiring it.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who has hereafter as his ultimate aim every morning and evening, Allah makes his heart self- sufficient and he will be granted worldly things. He will not pass away from this world without earning his sustenance completely. One who has this world as his aim, Allah will put hunger before his eyes and scatter his worldly affairs and he will not get anything from the world except what was ordained for him.”

Mahbub from Malik b. ’Atiyyah from Sa’eed al-A’raj from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One of the most definite signs of belief is that one loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, grants for the sake of Allah and deprives for the sake of Allah.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Muhammad b. Marid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “No believer passes away while he is away from his home having no one to weep over him except that the parts of the earth where he used to worship and the clothes, which he used to wear will weep for him. All those doors of heaven weep for him, from which his deeds used to go up and the angels appointed on him will weep for him.”

1. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “A believer of Bani Israel had a neighbor who was an infidel and he used to behave very well with the believer and performed good deeds in the world. When the infidel died, Allah built for him a house of mud in Hell which protected him from its heat and provided him sustenance from elsewhere. He was told, ‘You are getting these comforts because of your nice behavior with your so and so believing neighbor and doing good in the world’.”

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “No believer has a milching animal in his home but that the people of that house will be made holy and they would be congratulated. If he has two goats they will be made holy and given glad-tidings twice everyday.” Some companions asked, “How will he be made holy?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) answered, “An angel will stand near them every morning and evening and say: ‘You have become holy and are congratulated. You have become pure and your food too.” I asked, “What does ‘You have become holy’ means?” He replied, “You have become pure.”

When the two angels enter to question him, Patience tells Salaat, Zakat and good deeds: ‘Protect your friend. If you fail to do so, I will protect him.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Abi Jameela from Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (a.s.) who said: "that an angel passed by a person standing near a door. The angel asked him, “O servant of Allah! Why are you standing here?” He replied, “One of my believing brothers lives here. I want to salute him.” The angel asked, “Is he your near relative or you are having some work with him?” He replied, “He is neither a near relative of mine nor do I have any work with him. He is just a Muslim brother for me and hence, I have come to pay respect to him. I have made it obligatory on myself to salute him for the sake of pleasure of the Lord of the worlds.” The angel said, “Allah has sent me to you to convey His salutations and has said: Your only aim was to please Me and you met Me. I have made Paradise obligatory for you, given you salvation from My anger so that you are granted freedom from the fire of Hell."

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Muawiyah b. Wahab who said: “When a person does Taubah Nasooh, Allah loves him; and his sins of this world and hereafter are concealed.” The narrator asked, “How does Allah conceal all his sins?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “He makes the two angels who write deeds forget those sins and orders the parts of his body to keep the sins hidden. All the parts of the earth where he has committed sins are ordered to hide his sins. Hence when that person comes in the presence of Allah, nothing in this universe will testify to even the smallest of his sins.”

There is no worshipper like one who worships Me keeping away from what I have prohibited. There is no one who beautifies Me more than those who abstain because they do not beautify themselves with those things they are independent of.” Musa (a.s.) asked the Lord, “O the Most Merciful of the merciful ones! What is the reward of those people?” Allah replied, “O Musa! Those who seek nearness fearing Me will be with My best friends where no ordinary person can come. I feel ashamed to inquire about the deeds of those who worship Me keeping away from what I have prohibited. One who seeks nearness to Me through abstinence in this world I will grant him every kind of paradise so that he may live wherever he likes.”

An angel will be appointed to take that person to Hell and he will call out to the believer, ‘Please help me for I had done good to you and fulfilled your desire in the world. Can you repay that good deed of mine today?’ The believer will ask the angels to leave that person. Upon hearing the desire of that believer, Allah will order the angels to obey the believer and leave that person alone.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ سَیَابَهَ بْنِ أَیُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحِیمِ الْقَصِیرِ قَالَ: بَعَثَ الْوَالِی إِلَی رَجُلٍ مِنْ آلِ أَبِی طَالِبٍ فِی حیاته [جِنَایَهٍ] فَمَرَّ بِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَتْبِعُوهُ بِخَاتَمِ عَقِیقٍ قَالَ فَأُتْبِعَ بِخَاتَمِ عَقِیقٍ فَلَمْ یَرَ مَکْرُوهاً.

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ibrahim b. ’Uqba from Sayabeh b. Ayoob’ from Muhammad b. al-Fadhl from Abd al-Raheem al-Qaseer who said: “Give a cornelian ring to him.” The order of Imam was obeyed and a ring was given to him. And because of this, he didn’t have to face any harm from that unjust ruler.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِی جَنُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ [أَبِی] الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مَجْلُودٌ فَقَالَ أَیْنَ کَانَ خَاتَمُهُ الْعَقِیقُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ کَانَ عَلَیْهِ مَا جُلِدَ.

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Abi Junub from his father from Umar b. [Abi] al-Miqdam from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Where is his cornelian ring? If he had been wearing that, he would not have been lashed.”

وَ رُوِیَ فِی حَدِیثٍ آخَرَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْعَقِیقُ حِرْزٌ فِی السَّفَرِ.

4. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Cornelian is an amulet in journey.”

حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ مَزْیَدٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع قَالَ: تَخَتَّمُوا بِالْعَقِیقِ یُبَارِکِ اللَّهُ عَلَیْکُمْ وَ تَکُونُوا فِی أَمْنٍ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ.

5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “Keep a cornelian ring in your hand so that Allah gives you abundance and you remain safe from calamities.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ: شَکَا رَجُلٌ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قُطِعَ عَلَیْهِ الطَّرِیقُ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلَّا تَخَتَّمْتَ بِالْعَقِیقِ فَإِنَّهُ یُحْرَزُ مِنْ کُلِّ سُوءٍ وَ فِی حَدِیثٍ آخَرَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع مَنْ تَخَتَّمَ بِالْعَقِیقِ لَمْ یَزَلْ یَنْظُرُ الْحُسْنَی مَا دَامَ فِی یَدِهِ وَ لَمْ یَزَلْ عَلَیْهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَاقِیَهٌ.

6. And from the previous chain who said: “Why didn’t you wear a cornelian ring? It protects one from all evils?”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَی الْخَشَّابُ عَنْ عَقِیلِ بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ الْمَکِّیِّ یَرْفَعُهُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ صَاغَ خَاتَماً عَقِیقاً فَنَقَشَ فِیهِ مُحَمَّدٌ نَبِیُّ اللَّهِ وَ عَلِیٌّ وَلِیُّ اللَّهِ وَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِیتَهَ السَّوْءِ وَ لَمْ یَمُتْ إِلَّا عَلَی الْفِطْرَهِ.

7. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Musa al-Khashab from ’Aqeel b. al-Mutawakil al-Makki who raised it to from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father from his grandfather (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that: “One who wears a ring inscribed ‘Muh’ammadun nabiyyullaahi wa a’liyyunw waliyyullaah’ Allah will save him from unpleasant death and he will die a natural death only.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الرَّیَّانِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الشَّیْبَانِیِّ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا رُفِعَتْ کَفٌّ إِلَی اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- أَحَبُّ إِلَیْهِ مِنْ کَفٍّ فِیهَا عَقِیقٌ.

8. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ali b. al-Rayan from Ali b. Muhammad b. Ishaq al-Shaybani who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “No hand raised in front of Allah is loved by Him more than one which has a cornelian in it.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ بِنْتِ إِلْیَاسَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: مَنْ سَاهَمَ بِالْعَقِیقِ کَانَ سَهْمُهُ الْأَوْفَرَ.

9. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Ali b. bint Ilyas al-Khazaz from al-Ridha (a.s.) who said: “One who seeks sustenance through cornelian will get a huge share.”

10. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Ali al-Aqooli from Ahmad b. Harun al-’Attar from Ziyad al-’Abdi from Musa b. Ja’far from his father Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father Muhammad b. Ali from his father Ali b. al-Hussain from his father al-Hussain b. Ali (a.s.) who said: ‘I swear by Myself, I have made it obligatory on Myself that I will never punish with fire (of Hell) one who wears cornelian in his hand and is the lover of Ali (a.s.).”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْأَنْصَارِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ مَا افْتَقَرَتْ کَفٌّ تَخَتَّمَتْ بِالْفَیْرُوزَجِ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “The hand having a turquoise ring will never be needy.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو یَعْقُوبَ یُوسُفُ بْنُ السُّخْتِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الْبَصْرِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَهْزِیَارَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَی أَبِی الْحَسَنِ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع فَرَأَیْتُ فِی یَدِهِ خَاتَماً فَصُّهُ فَیْرُوزَجٌ نَقْشُهُ لِلَّهِ الْمُلْکُ فَأَدَمْتُ النَّظَرَ إِلَیْهِ فَقَالَ مَا لَکَ تَنْظُرُ فِیهِ هَذَا حَجَرٌ أَهْدَاهُ جَبْرَئِیلُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنَ الْجَنَّهِ فَوَهَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِیٍّ ع أَ تَدْرِی مَا اسْمُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَیْرُوزَجٌ قَالَ هَذَا اسْمُهُ بِالْفَارِسِیَّهِ أَ تَعْرِفُ اسْمَهُ بِالْعَرَبِیَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هُوَ الظَّفَرُ.

2. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Abu Ya’qub Yusif b. al-Sakht from al-Hassan b. Sahl al-Basri from Ali b. Mahziyar who said: “It is Zafar.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ عُبَیْدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع تَخَتَّمُوا بِالْجَزْعِ الْیَمَانِیِّ فَإِنَّهُ یَرُدُّ کَیْدَ مَرَدَهِ الشَّیَاطِینِ.

1. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “Wear a ring of Jiz-e- Yamani in your hand for the deceit of Satan is destroyed through it.”

حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا یُلَقَّبُ بِسِکْبَاجَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ صَاحِبِ الْأَتْرَاکِ وَ کَانَ یَقُومُ بِبَعْضِ أُمُورِ الْمَاضِی ع قَالَ: قَالَ یَوْماً وَ أَمْلَاهُ عَلَیَّ مِنْ کِتَابِ التَّخَتُّمِ التَّخَتُّمُ بِالزُّمُرُّدِ یُسْرٌ لَا عُسْرَ فِیهِ.

1. It is narrated from Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) who read out from a book: “There are lots of comforts for a person wearing the Emerald ring and there is no hardship for him.” The narrator wrote down these words of Imam (a.s.).

حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبِی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ کَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ تَخَتَّمُوا بِالْیَوَاقِیتِ فَإِنَّهُ یَنْفِی الْفَقْرَ.

1. Imam Ridha (a.s.) narrates that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Wear a Ruby ring for it puts an end to poverty.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الرَّیَّانِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِابْنِ وَهْبٍ الْعَبْدِیِّ قَرْیَهٌ مِنْ قُرَی وَاسِطٍ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: نِعْمَ الْفَصُّ الْبِلَّوْرُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Billaur is an excellent gem.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Harun b. Muslim from Mas’ada b. Sadaqah from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father (a.s.) that Ali (a.s.) who said: Keep your head up. There is a lot of honor for you near Allah and you won’t be disgraced due to your humility.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص کُلُّ عَیْنٍ بَاکِیَهٌ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَهَ أَعْیُنٍ عَیْنٌ بَکَتْ مِنْ خَشْیَهِ اللَّهِ وَ عَیْنٌ بَاتَتْ سَاهِرَهً فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ وَ عَیْنٌ غُضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ وَ قَالَ ص طُوبَی لِصُورَهٍ نَظَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَیْهَا تَبْکِی عَلَی ذَنْبٍ مِنْ خَشْیَهِ اللَّهِ لَمْ یَطَّلِعْ عَلَی ذَلِکَ الذَّنْبِ غَیْرُهُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “All the eyes will cry on the Day of Judgment except three – an eye which cried out of fear of Allah, an eye which remained awake for the sake of Allah and an eye which refrained from seeing what Allah has prohibited.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Tooba (Congratulations) be for the face to look at which is so nice whose eyes are weeping over sins committed by him that are not known to anyone.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Tooba (Congratulations) be for one who avoids lust today for the sake of those promised things he has not seen.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ الْکُوفِیُّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ یُصِیبَ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ بِعَذَابٍ یَقُولُ لَوْ لَا الَّذِینَ یَتَحَابُّونَ فِیَّ وَ یَعْمُرُونَ مَسَاجِدِی وَ یَسْتَغْفِرُونَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ لَوْلَاهُمْ لَأَنْزَلْتُ عَلَیْهِمْ عَذَابِی.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Kufi from his father from Abdillah b. al-Mughira from al-Sakuni from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: “But for those who love each other, build mosques and repent at dawn, I would surely have chastised the people of the earth.”

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “All the good deeds are hidden in three qualities – seeing, silence and speech. One who’s seeing is not a lesson is useless. One who is not a fountain of silence and deep thought is ignorant. One whose speech is not the remembrance of Allah is worthless. A person whose seeing is a lesson, silence is thought, conversation is remembrance of Allah, who cries over his sins and from whom people remain safe, is indeed fortunate (there is Tooba for him).”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ayoob’ b. Nuh from al-Rabee’ b. Muhammad al-Sulami from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “There is nothing among the worship of Allah better than silence and going to the house of Allah walking.”

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Ali b. Mahziyar who raised it to who said: “Soon a time will come when good things will rest on only ten things. Nine of them are keeping away from people and one is keeping silent.”

3. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Musa b. ’Amru from Ali b. al-Hussain b. Ribat from some of his men from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Good deeds are written for a Muslim till he is silent. As soon as he speaks, either a good deed or a sin is written down for him.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ibn Abi Najran who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who patches his clothes, stitches his shoes and carries his own luggage will remain away from pride.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَدَقَ کَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ یُصَدِّقُهُ اللَّهُ وَ نَفْسُهُ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ وَ إِذَا کَذَبَ کَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ یُکَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ وَ نَفْسُهُ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ کَاذِبٌ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who speaks truth, first Allah testifies to his words and he considers himself truthful. One who lies, first Allah falsifies his words and that person himself knows that he is a liar.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: الْمُسْتَتِرُ بِالْحَسَنَهِ تَعْدِلُ سَبْعِینَ حَسَنَهً وَ الْمُذِیعُ بِالسَّیِّئَهِ مَخْذُولٌ وَ الْمُسْتَتِرُ بِالسَّیِّئَهِ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. Isa from Abbas b. Hilal who said I heard Aba al-Hassan al-Ridha (a.s.) who said: “A good deed done secretly is better than seventy good deeds and one who sins openly will not be helped. One who sins secretly, may be forgiven.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَکْرٍ عَنْ زَکَرِیَّا بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِیزِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ مَنْ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْباً فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لِی أَنْ أُعَذِّبَهُ وَ أَنَّ لِی أَنْ أَعْفُوَ عَنْهُ عَفَوْتُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The Almighty Allah has said that one who commits a sin thinking that He (Allah) has the choice to either forgive or punish him, He will forgive that person.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ یَحْیَی بْنِ بَشِیرٍ عَنِ الْمَسْعُودِیِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع مَنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ أُمِرَتْ جَوَارِحُهُ أَنْ تَسْتُرَ عَلَیْهِ وَ بِقَاعُ الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَکْتُمَ عَلَیْهِ وَ أُنْسِیَتِ الْحَفَظَهُ مَا کَانَتْ تَکْتُبُ عَلَیْهِ.

1. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “Allah will forgive one who repents to Him. The parts of his body and the earth will be ordered to hide his sins. The angels who note down the deeds of a person will be made to forget the sins.”

أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ بَیَّاعِ السَّابِرِیِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ تَابَ فِی سَنَهٍ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ السَّنَهَ لَکَثِیرَهٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ تَابَ فِی شَهْرٍ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ لَکَثِیرٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ تَابَ فِی یَوْمِهِ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ یَوْماً لَکَثِیرٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ تَابَ إِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُهُ هَذِهِ یَعْنِی حَلْقَهُ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ.

2. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who repents a year before his death, Allah will forgive him.” Then he said, “A year is too much; Allah will forgive even one who repents a month before his death.” Then he said, “A month is also too much, Allah will forgive even one who repents a day before his death. Then he said, “A day is also too much, Allah will forgive even one who repents just a moment before death.”

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Allah gives abundant sustenance to whomsoever He desires. Similarly the mercy of Allah is spread far and wide for the sinners day and night waiting for the person to repent and be forgiven. The mercy of Allah waits at sunset for the people who committed sins during the day to repent and get themselves forgiven.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ کَتَبَ عَلَی خَاتَمِهِ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ الْمُدْقِعِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by ’Amru b. Ali from his uncle Muhammad b. Umar who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who inscribes: Maashaa Allaahu laa quwwata illaa billaahi astaghfirullaah on his ring, will remain safe from devastating poverty.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ یَحْیَی بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْأَشْعَرِیِّ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ أَ مَا تَدْخُلُ السُّوقَ أَ مَا تَرَی الْفَاکِهَهَ تُبَاعُ وَ الشَّیْ ءَ مِمَّا تَشْتَهِیهِ فَقُلْتُ بَلَی فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ لَکَ بِکُلِّ مَا تَرَاهُ وَ لَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَی شِرَائِهِ وَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَیْهِ حَسَنَهً.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) asked one of his companions, “Are there any fruits in the market which you like and desire to have?” “Yes,” said he. Imam (a.s.) said, “If you see a thing, which is beyond your capacity to buy, be patient and you will get a reward for it.”

حَدَّثَنِی حَمْزَهُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: قَالَتْ لَهُ [أُمُ] سَلَمَهَ رض بِأَبِی أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّی یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْمَرْأَهُ یَکُونُ لَهَا زَوْجَانِ فَیَمُوتَانِ فَیَدْخُلَانِ الْجَنَّهَ لِأَیِّهِمَا تَکُونُ فَقَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص تَخَیَّرُ أَحْسَنَهُمَا خُلُقاً وَ خَیْرَهُمَا لِأَهْلِهِ یَا أُمَّ سَلَمَهَ إِنَّ حُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ ذَهَبَ بِخَیْرِ الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Hamzah b. Muhammad who said I was informed by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father Ibrahim b. Hashim from Musa b. Ibrahim who raised it to The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) who said: “The woman will live with one who had a better character and behavior with the people around him. O Umme Salma! Good character grants good rewards in this world and the hereafter.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ مَا حَسَّنَ اللَّهُ خَلْقَ عَبْدٍ وَ لَا خُلُقَهُ إِلَّا اسْتَحَی أَنْ یُطْعِمَ لَحْمَهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ النَّارَ.

2. It is narrated that Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “There is no creature of Allah which has a good character and Allah does not feel ashamed to make his flesh a morsel of Hell.”

أَبِی ره عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع کَانَتِ الْفُقَهَاءُ وَ الْحُکَمَاءُ إِذَا کَاتَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً کَتَبُوا بِثَلَاثٍ لَیْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَابِعَهٌ مَنْ کَانَتِ الْآخِرَهُ هَمَّهُ کَفَاهُ اللَّهُ هَمَّهُ مِنَ الدُّنْیَا وَ مَنْ أَصْلَحَ سَرِیرَتَهُ أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَانِیَتَهُ وَ مَنْ أَصْلَحَ فِیمَا بَیْنَهُ وَ بَیْنَ اللَّهِ أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ فِیمَا بَیْنَهُ وَ بَیْنَ النَّاسِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “It is the habit of jurists and wise people to advise about three things in their every letter written to each other. Nothing else was present among them; that is one who is only worried about the hereafter, Allah will fulfill his worldly wishes and needs. Allah improves the exterior of one who improves his interior and one who develops good between himself and Allah, Allah develops good between him and the people.”

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who resists his own self instead of people, will get protection against the fear of the Day of Judgment.”

1. Abi (rah) from Sa’d b. Abdillah from al-Fadhl b. ’Amir from Musa b. al-Qasim from Safwan b. Yahya from al-Haytham b. Waqid who said I heard Aba Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If Allah has given His slave great bounties then if he praises Allah for those bounties this praise is better and heavier than that bounty.”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Musa b. al-Qasim from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from some of his companions from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who thanks Allah after having food is like a person who has fasted. One who thanks Allah for a thing which He has not granted him, he will get the reward of patient ones.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from his father who raised the hadith who said: “A person who does good in the world is like a person who does good in the hereafter.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.)! How is it possible?” He replied, “He will be forgiven by the mercy of Allah. His good deeds will be given to other people also and they will be made to enter Paradise. Hence he will be doing good in the world as well as the hereafter.”

1. A person asked the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.), “Teach me a deed which makes me beloved for Allah in the heaven and people on the earth.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Remain attached to Divine things so that Allah loves you and remain aloof from what people have so that they love you.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “O Ali (a.s.)! The Almighty Allah has kept poverty among His creatures as a trust. One who keeps it hidden will be like one who stays awake at night for Allah and observes fast. One who reveals his poverty in front of a person who can fulfill his desire but does not do so, such a person has killed that poor man. This person is not killed by a sword or a lance but by a wound on his heart.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ya’qub b. Yazid from the one who mentioned it from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said that the Almighty Allah will order a caller on the Day of Judgment to call out for the poor ones. Some people will stand up and they will be ordered to go to Paradise. When they reach the door of Paradise, they will be asked, “Do you want to go to Paradise even before accounting of deeds?” They will reply, “Were we given something whose account we should give?” Almighty Allah will say, “My servants! You are right. I didn’t give you poverty to disgrace you but for this day. Go among the people and see. Whoever did good to you, hold his hand and make him enter Paradise along with you.”

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “O poor ones! Be happy. Allah’s pleasure is granted to your hearts. Allah will pay the price of your poverty. If you had not been poor there was no reward for you.”

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who helps his brother who is thirsty and sorrowful, solves his problem and helps in fulfilling his desires the former will be granted seventy-two bounties, which will keep him safe from fear on the Day of Judgment.”

Muhammad from his father from Ameer al-Mumineen (a.s.) that he said that The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) who said: “Allah showers mercy on the father who helps his son in doing good. He showers mercy on a person who helps his neighbor in doing good. One who helps his friend in doing good Allah showers mercy on the former. Similarly one who helps his companion in doing good, Allah showers mercy on the former too. Also one who helps his master in doing good, Allah showers mercy on that person.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors, who narrate from Amirul Momineen (a.s.), who narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who goes to a journey and recites the verse: Wa lammaa tawajjaha tilqaa-a madyana… till Allaahu a’laa maa naqoolu wakeel Allah will protect him from every wild animal, thief, oppressor and poisonous animals till he returns home. This deed keeps poverty and Satan away. Once Adam (a.s.) became seriously ill and began to fear. He complained about it to Jibraeel (a.s.) who told him, ‘Take a branch of a bitter almond and keep it on your chest’. He did so and was relieved from the fear by Allah. One who wants that the distance becomes short for him while traveling should carry a stick of bitter almond.”

2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far from Muhammad b. Isa from Abdillah al-Dahqan from Durust from Ibrahim from Abi al-Hassan the first (a.s.) who said: “I guarantee that one who leaves his house wearing a turban will remain safe from theft, drowning and burning (to death).”

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar who said it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Ishaq b. Sa’eed from Bakr b. Muhammad al-Azdi from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: 'Do you sit and talk (about our narrations)?' I said, 'May I be sacrificed for you, yes.' He said, 'Indeed, I love those gatherings, so love our matter. Indeed, whoever mentions us and we are mentioned in their presence, and a tear as small as a fly's wing comes out from their eye, Allah forgives their sins, even if they are more than the foam of the sea.'

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “The sins of the lovers of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) are destroyed in the same way as dry leaves of a tree fall off due to wind.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا قَضَی مُسْلِمٌ لِمُسْلِمٍ حَاجَهً إِلَّا نَادَاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَیَّ ثَوَابُکَ وَ لَا أَرْضَی لَکَ بِدُونِ الْجَنَّهِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who fulfils a desire of a Muslim brother, Allah calls out to the former, ‘Your reward is with Me and I won’t be satisfied unless I send you to Paradise.”

1. And from the previous chain from Bakr b. Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who is not aware of the status of Allah is not aware of the status of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) also. And one who is not aware of the status of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) is not aware of the status of a believer also. If someone sees a believing brother and shakes hands with him, sins are wiped off from their faces like dry leaves fall off a tree due to wind, till they (the believers) separate from one another.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ بِنِعْمَهٍ فَعَرَفَهَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ جَهَرَ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَیْهَا فَفَرَغَ مِنْهَا حَتَّی یُؤْمَرَ لَهُ بِالْمَزِیدِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “O Abu Ishaq! When Allah grants a bounty to His servant and he recognizes it with his heart and he praises and glorifies Allah openly, Allah will grant him a better bounty as soon as this bounty gets finished.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَرْءُ أَرْبَعِینَ سَنَهً آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْأَدْوَاءِ الثَّلَاثَهِ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْخَمْسِینَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ حِسَابَهُ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ السِّتِّینَ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ الْإِنَابَهَ إِلَیْهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ السَّبْعِینَ أَحَبَّهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الثَّمَانِینَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِإِثْبَاتِ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَ إِلْقَاءِ سَیِّئَاتِهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ التِّسْعِینَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ کُتِبَ أَسِیرَ اللَّهِ فِی أَرْضِهِ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “When a person reaches the age of forty, Allah keeps him safe from three diseases like insanity, leprosy and white spots. When he reaches the age of fifty, Allah curtails his accounting. When he reaches the age of sixty, Allah makes him return to Himself. When he reaches the age of seventy, the people of heavens start loving him. When he reaches the age of eighty, Allah orders that his good deeds be written down and sins not be written. When he reaches the age of ninety, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime forgives his past and present sins and writes him as a prisoner of Allah on His earth.”
