جعفر بن محمد الصادق

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.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said that Jibraeel (a.s.) told him, “O Muhammad (s.a.w.s.)! One who from your Ummah participates in a battle in the way of Allah, each and every drop of rain falling from the sky will bear witness on the Day of Judgment to the trouble he had to take.”

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.).”

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.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Saying words of condolence is a way to enter Paradise.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who makes Quran his conversation and mosque his home Allah will make a house for him in Paradise.”

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’.”

6. My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of al-Haytham ibn Abu Masruq al-Nahdi, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of `Ali ibn Ri`ab, on the authority of al-Halabi that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said, Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, made Ibrahim and Sarah feed the children of the believers from the tree in Paradise, which has udder like the udder of a cow. They are in palaces made from pearls. When the Day of Judgement comes, they will be dressed up, perfumed, and brought to their parents. Both the children and their parents will be royalty in Paradise.

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).”

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’.”

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.).”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Allah will make three types of people enter Paradise without any accounting – a just leader, a truthful trader and an elderly person who spent his life in Allah’s obedience.”

4. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his father that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The horses of warriors are from Paradise.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (sw) said, “The reward of offering a Prayer in Masjidun Nabawi is equal to the reward of ten thousand Prayers offered in any other mosque except the Prayer offered in Masjidul Haraam whose reward is equal to the reward of a hundred thousand Prayers offered in another mosque.”

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 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.”

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.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) said, “One who gives Sadaqah to a destitute and the latter supplicates for the former his supplications are accepted immediately.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “You are sure to go to Heaven if you perform the following three acts: charity during the times of poverty, treating all the people kindly, and being just with yourself.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted God's Prophet (a.s): “Whoever makes ablution, prays, pays the alms tax, quenches his anger, watches his tongue, repents, and wishes well for the members of the Holy Household of the Prophet has perfected the true aspects of religion, and the gates of Heaven will be open to him.”
