Hadith.5904 - Safwan ibn Yahya and Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Musa ibn Bakr, from Zurara, who reported from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said
"A favor is only truly a favor when it is done for someone with noble lineage or faith. Prayer is the means of closeness for every pious person. Hajj is the jihad for every weak individual. Everything has a form of charity, and the charity of the body is fasting. A woman's jihad is being a good wife. Seek sustenance through charity. Whoever is certain of divine compensation will be generous in giving. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, sends down assistance according to the burden. Safeguard your wealth through zakat. Moderation is half of livelihood. No person who is moderate will face poverty. Having fewer dependents is one of the two forms of ease. One who prays without action is like an archer without a bowstring. Affection is half of intelligence. Anxiety is half of aging. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, sends down patience in proportion to the calamity. Whoever strikes his hand on his thigh during a calamity, his reward is nullified. Whoever grieves his parents has been disobedient to them."
5904 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"اَلصَّنِيعَةُ لاَ تَكُونُ صَنِيعَةً إِلاَّ عِنْدَ ذِي حَسَبٍ أَوْ دِينٍ اَلصَّلاَةُ قُرْبَانُ كُلِّ تَقِيٍّ اَلْحَجُّ جِهَادُ كُلِّ ضَعِيفٍ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ زَكَاةٌ وَ زَكَاةُ اَلْجَسَدِ اَلصِّيَامُ جِهَادُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ حُسْنُ اَلتَّبَعُّلِ اِسْتَنْزِلُوا اَلرِّزْقَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ مَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْخَلَفِ جَادَ بِالْعَطِيَّةِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُنَزِّلُ اَلْمَعُونَةَ عَلَى قَدْرِ اَلْمَئُونَةِ حَصِّنُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بِالزَّكَاةِ اَلتَّقْدِيرُ نِصْفُ اَلْعَيْشِ مَا عَالَ اِمْرُؤٌ اِقْتَصَدَ قِلَّةُ اَلْعِيَالِ أَحَدُ اَلْيَسَارَيْنِ اَلدَّاعِي بِلاَ عَمَلٍ كَالرَّامِي بِلاَ وَتَرٍ اَلتَّوَدُّدُ نِصْفُ اَلْعَقْلِ اَلْهَمُّ نِصْفُ اَلْهَرَمِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُنَزِّلُ اَلصَّبْرَ عَلَى قَدْرِ اَلْمُصِيبَةِ مَنْ ضَرَبَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ عِنْدَ اَلْمُصِيبَةِ حَبِطَ أَجْرُهُ مَنْ أَحْزَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ فَقَدْ عَقَّهُمَا".
