جعفر بن محمد الصادق عليه السلام

"If the crescent sets before twilight, it is for one night. If it sets after twilight, it is for two nights."

"If a man travels during the Month of Ramadan and departs after midday, he must fast that day, and it will be counted as part of his Month of Ramadan fast. However, if he enters a place before dawn with the intention of staying there, he is obligated to fast that day. But if he enters after dawn, fasting is not obligatory for him, although he may fast if he wishes."

"The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, when the last ten nights (of Month of Ramadan) arrived, would tighten his waistbelt, avoid women, revive the nights (with worship), and dedicate himself fully to worship."

the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Among the etiquettes of a guest is that he does not fast voluntarily except with the host's permission. Among the obedience of a wife to her husband is that she does not fast voluntarily except with his permission and instruction. Among the righteousness and obedience of a servant to his master is that he does not fast voluntarily except with his master's permission. Among the dutifulness of a child to their parents is that they do not fast voluntarily except with their parents' permission and command. Otherwise, the guest would be ignorant, the wife disobedient, the servant corrupt and sinful, and the child undutiful." [chapte=CHAPTER 54 - CHAPTER ON GHUSL (RITUAL PURIFICATION) ON SPECIFIC NIGHTS IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN, AND WHAT HAS BEEN NARRATED ABOUT THE LAST TEN NIGHTS AND THE NIGHT OF QADR] بَابُ الْغُسْلِ فِي اللَّيَالِي الْمَخْصُوصَةِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وَفِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ H1ِ 2015 - رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُغْتَسَلُ فِي ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ أُصِيبَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ قُبِضَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ » قَالَ «وَ اَلْغُسْلُ فِي أَوَّلِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ هُوَ يُجْزِي إِلَى آخِرِهِ ». Hadith.2015 - Al-'Ala narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of the Imams (as) that he said: "One should perform the ritual bath (ghusl) on three nights in the Month of Ramadan: the nineteenth, the twenty-first, and the twenty-third. The Commander of the Faithful (as) was struck on the nineteenth and passed away on the twenty-first." Imam (as) added: "The ghusl should be performed at the beginning of the night, and it suffices until its end."

"The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sought permission from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, regarding Mecca three times over the course of time. Allah (swt) granted him permission for it during one hour of the day, after which He made it sacred as long as the heavens and the earth remain."

Umm Salama (ra) said to the Messenger of Allah (s): May my mother and my father be your sacrifice! If a woman married two different men in her life, and they both died, and they went to Paradise, which of the two will she be with? So, he (s) said: O Umm Salama! She will choose the one who had more beautiful character and was better to his family. O Umm Salama! Surely, beautiful character will achieve the good of this world and the Hereafter.

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: The pressure of the grave for the believer is an expiation for any wasted blessings of his.

The Messenger of Allah (s) met some youth from the Ansar and said: Surely, I want to recite to you; so, whoever weeps will have Paradise. So, he recited the end of [Surat] al-Zumar, “Those who disbelieve will be driven to Hell in groups” (39:71) to the end of the chapter. So, the whole community wept except one youth. Then, he said: O Messenger of Allah! I wept, but the tears did not flow out of my eyes. He said: Then, I will repeat it to you, and whoever weeps will have Paradise. He said: So, he repeated it to them, and the community and the youth wept, so they all went to Paradise.

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Be modest before Allah in the most rightful way. They said: What should we do, O Messenger of Allah? He said: If you do so, none of you will sleep except that he will see death before his eyes. You should guard your mind and what goes into it, as well as your stomach and what it consumes. You should remember the grave and misfortune. He who wants the Hereafter should abandon the adornment of the life of this world.

he heard his father Abu Ja’far (a) saying: After the Night Ascension, the Prophet (s) related to Ali (a): O Ali, in Paradise, I saw a river that was whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and straighter than arrow. There were pitchers as many as the stars in it. On its shore, there stand the domes of ruby and white pearls. As Gabriel stroke the bank of that river with his wing, it was pure musk. (He then added) I swear by Him Who prevails Mohammed’s soul, there are trees in Paradise clapping with the praise (of Allah) and making sounds that no one among the early and the late generations has ever heard like them. They bear fruits like pomegranates. The one on whom such fruits are thrown cuts it into ninety garments. There, the believer will be sitting on chairs of light. They are the white-forheaded honorables. On the Day of Resurrection, you will be their leader. Each one of them will put slippers whose laces are luminous to cast light upon the way he wants to take in Paradise. Meanwhile, a woman will look down upon him and say, ’All Glory be to Allah. O Allah’s servant, do you not have anything with me?’ He will ask her who she is. She will answer, ’I am one of those about whom Allah said: So, no soul knows what is hidden for them of that which will refresh the eyes; a reward for what they did.’ (The Prophet (s) then added) I swear by Him Who prevails Mohammed’s soul, seventy thousand angels will visit that believer every day in Paradise and will call him by his name and his father’s.

Whoever [gossips] about his believing brother based on what he sees with his own eyes and hears with his own ears, he is the one whom Allah says regarding, “Surely, those who love to see indecency spread among the believers will suffer a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter.” (24:19)

Backbiting (ghiba) includes saying regarding your brother that which Allah has hidden. Slander (buhtan) includes saying regarding your brother that which is not [true] in him.

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Surely, Allah hated for me to have six characteristics, and He hated for my deputies from my descendants and their followers after me to have them as well: (1) trifling whilst in prayer, (2) lewd actions whilst fasting, (3) bragging after giving charity, (4) coming to the mosques in a state of janaba, (5) browsing the houses [of people without their permission], and (6) smiling in front of graves.

A worshiper does not say [the following] seven times per day -- I ask Allah for Paradise, and I seek refuge in Allah from the Fire -- except that the Fire says: "O Lord! Give him refuge from me."

People will pass through the Path in different ranks. The Path is thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword. Some will pass through it like lightning, some will pass through it galloping, some will pass through it walking, and some will pass through it crawling. Some will pass through it hanging, and the Fire will overtake part of him and leave part of him.

Whoever among the believers dies between after midday on Thursday and midday on Friday, Allah will safeguard him from the pressure of the grave.

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: My intercession anon will not be given to one who delays his obligatory prayers after their timing.

“May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, the word Muhaddith does not exist in our reading. What then is the meaning of The Messenger, Prophet and Muhaddith?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “A messenger is one to whom the angel comes openly and speaks to him. A prophet is one who sees in his dream. Sometimes prophethood and messengership may exist in one person. Al-Muhaddith is one who hears the voice but does not see the person (of the angel).” I then asked, may Allah keep you well, “How would one know that what one sees in his dream is true and that it is from the angel?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “He receives help for success to know the angel. Allah has your book the last book and your Prophet the last of prophets.”

Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh will surely forgive those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) every week. They will not leave this life with any sorrows about it and they will dwell with Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) in Paradise. O Dāwūd! Who does not like to be the neighbour of Ḥusain (a.s.) in Paradise?!!! I replied, “(Only) those who have not achieved salvation.”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is permissible for one after experiencing sexual relation to walk in all kinds of Masjid but he must not sit in them. This does not apply to Masjid al- Haram and Masjid of the Messenger of Allah.’”
