Chapter 24 - On Good Deeds

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “The nobility of a believer depends on his prayer and staying up at night (to worship God). Speak nicely with the people.”

An Arab went to see the Prophet (a.s) when the Prophet was going to war. He grabbed the leading rope of his horse and said: “O' Prophet of God! Please teach me something to help me enter Heaven.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Then treat others as you like them to treat you. And do not wish for them what you do not like yourself. Now let go of my horse.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Whoever saves the Muslims from fire or flood will go to Heaven.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whenever God wills to strengthen Islam and the Muslims, then He will give the riches to those who pay its dues and spend it in a good way. But when He wills to weaken Islam and the Muslims, He will give the riches to those who do not pay its dues and do not spend it in the proper way.”
