Hadith.4575 - Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) about a woman who permitted her husband to have relations with her bondwoman. Imam (as) said: "That is permissible for him." He then asked: "What if he fears that she might be joking?" Imam (as) said: "If he knows that she is joking, then it is not permissible."

Hadith.4430 - Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi reported that he asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), about a woman who had been afflicted with drinking wine and became intoxicated, then married herself to a man while in her intoxicated state. When she sobered up, she denied it but then assumed that the marriage might be binding, so she remained with the man out of caution based on that marriage. He asked whether this was lawful for her or if the marriage was invalid due to the intoxication, and whether the man had any claim over her. Imam (as) said: "If she remained with him after she sobered up, then that is her consent." He then asked: "Does such a marriage become valid for her?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes."

Hadith.1640 - Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi’ narrated: I sent some dinars to al-Ridha (Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (as)) on behalf of some of my family members. I wrote to him informing him that seventy-five of them were Zakat, and the remainder was a gift. Imam (as) wrote back in his handwriting: "I have received them."

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.”

Hadith.4391 - Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi' asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) about a young girl who was married off by her father, and then the father died while she was still a child. When she grew older, before her husband consummated the marriage, does the marriage remain valid, or is the matter in her hands? Imam (as) replied: "The marriage performed by her father is valid for her."

One of the companions of the Prophet (s) said to the Prophet: O Messenger of Allah! Why do we find [characteristics] in our children that we do not find in ourselves? So, he said: Because they are from you, and you are not from them.

When the Qaim enters Kufa, no believer would remain, but that he would be in Kufa or that he would move to Kufa. It is also mentioned in the discourse of Amirul Momineen (a.s) that Imam Mahdi (a.s) would address his companions: Come and join us to march against this transgressor [Sufyani, Dajjal and every tyrant who confronts the Imam].

Abu Saeed Madaini visited Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) and asked him, “May I be sacrificed for you, should I go for Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.)?” He replied, “Yes, O Abu Saeed! Go for Ziyarat of the son of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) for he was most virtuous among virtuous men, purest among pure and best among the doers of good deeds. If you do his Ziyarat, Allah would grant you the reward of twenty-five Hajjs.”

"I said to him: 'People narrate that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) fasted for 29 days in the Month of Ramadan more often than he fasted for 30 days.' Imam (as) replied: 'They have lied. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) only fasted a complete month. Obligatory acts are never deficient. Verily, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, created the year with 360 days and created the heavens and the earth in six days, thus reducing the days of the year to 354. The Month of Ramadan is 30 days, as Allah (swt), the Almighty, says: "And complete the number" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185). Completeness means perfection. Shawwal is 29 days, and Dhu al-Qa'dah is 30 days, as Allah (swt), the Almighty, says: "And We appointed for Musa thirty nights" (Surah Al-A’raf 7:142). The months alternate in this way - one complete month, followed by a deficient one. The Month of Ramadan is never deficient, and Sha’ban is never complete.'"

“When the believer leaves home to visit his brother (in belief), Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, appoints an angel to place one wing on earth and one wing in the sky to provide him shadow. When he arrives at his house, the Almighty Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, will say, ‘O servant (of Allah) who has observed My right with greatness, and followed the tradition of My prophet, it is a right with Me to grant you dignity. Ask Me and I will give you, pray to Me I will answer and if you remain silent I will initiate.’ When he returns, the angel will escort him with his wings providing shadow for him until he arrives at his home. Then Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, will say, ‘O servant (of Allah) who has observed My right with greatness, it is a right with Me to give you honor and I have made it necessary that you be admitted into My paradise. I have granted you permission to intercede for My servants.’”

“Visit each other; in it there is a revival for your hearts and a study of our Ahadith (may take place). Our Ahadith helps you to be kind to each other. If you follow them you will find guidance and salvation in them. If you disregard them you will go astray and be destroyed. Therefore, follow them and I will assure you of your salvation.”

“A believer may find his brother (in belief) needy in a certain matter that is not available to him and he intends in his heart to meet such need, Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, admits him in paradise just because of his intention.”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in the state of Ihram, when passing by takes hold of a deer, draws her milk and drinks it. He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes an animal offering as penalty to offer in al-Haram (the sacred area).”’

“Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab, holding my hand, said to me, ‘Abu Hamzah holding my hand said to me, “Asbagh ibn Nubatah holding my hand showed me the seventh pillar and said, ‘This is the station of ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) He (the narrator) has said, ‘Al-Hasan ibn Ali (a.s.), would perform Salah (prayer) near the fifth pillar. When ’Amir al-Mu’minin passed away, al-Hasan (a.s.), performed Salah (prayer) at that place and it is from the side of Kindah door.’”

“Abu Ibrahim (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said to Ja‘far, ‘O Ja‘far, eat quince; it strengthens the heart and emboldens the coward heart.’”

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a small girl whose father gave her in marriage, but he died before her husband went to bed with her; if her marriage was permissible or it was it up to her to decide. He (the Imam) said, ‘Her father’s giving in marriage is permissible.’”

“Once a man asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a man who dies and leaves behind two brothers and a daughter who is small. One brother becomes the executor of the will and gives the girl in marriage to his son. The father of the boy married to the girl dies and thereafter the other brother says that his brother did not give the girl in marriage to his son so he gives the girl in marriage to his son and the girl is asked, ‘Which one of the (two) husbands is more beloved to you?’ She says, ‘The other one (son of the second brother) is more beloved to me.’ Then the second brother dies and the other brother has left behind another son older than the son who was married to the girl. He asks the girl to choose whichever of the two she likes. He (the narrator) has said that Hadith about this case says that she is for the second husband because she at that time was able to discern when she was given in marriage and it is not lawful for her to disregard the marriage which is formed after her gaining the ability to discern.’”

I asked Aba Ja’far [al-Jawad] عليه السلام to send me a long shirt [of his] which I could use as my shroud which he proceeded to do. I asked: how should I prepare it? he said: remove its buttons.

I asked Abu Ja'far al-Thani (as) about a man who died and had fasting obligations upon him. Should fasting be done on his behalf, or should charity be given on his behalf? Imam (as) said: "Charity should be given on his behalf, for it is better."

“I heard Sufyan al-Thawriy asking him (the Imam) about greening. He (the Imam) said that once a man from al-Ansar died and the Messenger of Allah was asked to attend his funeral. He (the Messenger of Allah) asked one of the relatives of the deceased to green up their fellow man; greening people are very few.’ They asked, ‘What is greening?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘It is a fresh twig which is placed near the hands up to the collar bones.’”
