hadith 309

Amr ibn Sa'eed ibn Hilal said that he once told Imam Sadiq (a.s): “May I be your devoted servant! I shall not see you for a few years. Please give me some advice which I may act upon.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) told him: “I advise you to fear God and adhere to piety, and struggling in God's way. Know that piety is not useful without struggling and making an effort. Abstain from enslaving your soul with the greed to surpass those who are better off than you are. God the Almighty frequently told His Prophet: “Let not their wealth nor their (following in) sons dazzle thee” [The Holy Quran: Tauba 9:55] God also said: “Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendor of the life of the world.” [The Holy Quran: Ta-Ha 20:131] Remember the life of the Prophet (a.s) whenever you get tempted. Remember that his food was barley and his confection was dates, and he used palm branches to make fire. Whenever a calamity falls upon you, remember the calamities that befell the Prophet of God (a.s), since no one else has ever experienced any calamities worse than those.”

عن عمرو بن سعيد بن هلال قال

قلت لأبي جعفر (عليه السلام): جعلت فداك إني لا أكاد أن ألقاك إلا في السنين، فأوصيني بشئ آخذ به، قال: أوصيك بتقوى الله، والورع والاجتهاد، واعلم أنه لم ينفع ورع إلا بالاجتهاد، إياك أن تطمع نفسك إلى من فوقك، وكثيرا ما قال الله جل ثناؤه لنبيه: ﴿فلا تعجبك أموالهم ولا أولادهم﴾ وقال: ﴿ولا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا﴾ فإن داخلك شئ فاذكر عيش رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، إنما كان قوته الشعير وحلاوته التمر ووقوده السعف، وإذا أصبت بمصيبة في نفسك فاذكر مصابك برسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فإن الخلائق لم يصابوا بمثله قط.

hadith 336

Sama'at said that Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked him: “Why do you hurt the Prophet of God (a.s)?” He replied: “May I be your devoted servant! How do we hurt him?” Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Do you not know that he gets informed of your deed, and he gets upset if he sees a sinful act. Then do not hurt the Prophet of God (a.s).”

عن سماعة قال

سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: ما لكم تسوؤون رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فقلت له: جعلت فداك وكيف نسوؤه؟ قال: أما تعلمون أن أعمالكم تعرض عليه، فإذا رأى معصية ساءه ذلك، فلا تسوؤوا رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله).

hadith 343

Hassan ibn Ziyad narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“When the following verse was revealed: “Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendor of the life of this world.” [The Holy Quran: Ta-Ha 20:131],the Prophet thought for a while, and then raised his head and said: “O' Servants of God! Whoever is not pacified with God's consolation will die while he has been constantly wishing for worldly matters. Whoever keeps an eye on what others have will constantly feel sad about (not having their wealth), and his heart ache will not be remedied. And whoever does not recognize God's blessings that are granted to him other than things to eat and wear will have a short life and an upcoming punishment.”

عن حسن بن زياد عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

لما نزلت هذه الآية ﴿لا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا﴾ أطرق رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) طويلا، ثم رفع رأسه فقال: عباد الله من لم يتعز بعزاء الله انقطعت نفسه عن الدنيا حسرات، ومن نظر إلى ما في أيدي الناس فقد كثر همه ولم يشف غليل صدره، ومن لم ير الله عليه نعمة إلا في مطعم أو في ملبس فقد قصر أجله ودنا عذابه.

hadith 351

Abi Basir narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said

“A man went to see the Prophet (a.s) and said: O' Muhammad! What do you invite the people to?” The Prophet (a.s) said: “My followers and I knowingly invite the people to God. I invite you to One who will remove your difficulties from you when you call Him during times of hardship, or sorrow; One who will provide for your needs when you get poor, and will guide you safely out of the desert should you get lost there.” The man said: O' Muhammad! Please give me some advice.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Do not get angry.” He asked for more advice. The Prophet (a.s) said: “Like for others what you like for yourself.” He asked for more advice. The Prophet (a.s) said: “Do not swear at people, since then they will become your enemies.” He asked for more advice. The Prophet (a.s) said: “Do not abandon doing good deeds for those who need you.” He asked for more advice. The Prophet (a.s) said: “Love the people so that they love you. Serve some water for your brethren to drink. Treat them with kindness and good temper. Do not be impatient since then you will lose this world and the Hereafter. Put on proper trousers and do not unbutton your shirts since this is a form of haughtiness, and God does not like a haughty person.”

عن أبي بصير عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال

أتى رجل النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: إلى ما تدعو يا محمد؟ فقال: أدعو إلى الله على بصيرة أنا ومن اتبعني، وأدعوك إلى من إن أصابك ضر فدعوته كشفه عنك، وإن استعنت به وأنت مقهور أعانك، وإن سألته وأنت مقل أغناك، وإن ضللت في فلاة الأرض أرشدك، فقال له: أوصني يا محمد، فقال: لا تغضب، قال: زدني، قال: ارض من الناس بما ترضى لهم من نفسك، قال: زدني، قال: لا تسب الناس فتكتسب العداوة منهم، قال: زدني، قال: لا تزهد في المعروف عند أهله، قال: زدني، قال: تحبب إلى الناس يحبوك، وإن استسقى أخوك من دلوك فصب له، وألق أخاك بوجه منبسط إليه، ولا تضجر فيمنعك الضجر من حظك للآخرة والدنيا، وأبرز إلى نصف الساق، وإياك وإسبال الإزار فإن ذلك من الخيلاء والله لا يحب الخيلاء.
