"Imam Ali (as) used to milk the sacrificial camel and allow others to ride it, provided it was not harmed."

Salamah ibn Muhraz asked Abu Abdullah (as) while I was present. He said: "I performed Tawaf around the Kaaba and between Safa and Marwah, then went to Mina and had relations with my wife without performing the Tawaf al-Nisa." Abu Abdullah (as) said: "What a bad thing you have done," reproaching me. I said: "I was put to trial." Imam (as) replied: "There is no penalty upon you."

One who offers all of the five prayers of a day without reciting Surah Ikhlaas in any of them, will be told: O servant of Allah! You are not of those who pray.”

He said: "Archangel Jibril (as) descended with the adhan (call to prayer) upon Messenger of Allah (sw) while his head was resting in the lap of Imam Ali (as). Archangel Jibril (as) pronounced the adhan and the iqamah (second call to prayer). When the Messenger of Allah (sw) awoke, He said: 'O’ Ali, did you hear?' Imam (as) replied: 'Yes, O’ Messenger of Allah (sw).' He (sw) said: 'Did you memorize it?' Imam (as) replied: 'Yes.' The Prophet (sw) then said: 'Call Bilal and teach him,' So Imam Ali (as) called Bilal and taught him."

"My father (as) fell ill on the day of Eid al-Adha, so he prayed two units (rak'ahs) in his home and then offered the sacrifice."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (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, has said, ‘Breastfeeding after weaning is not effective, continuous fasting is not valid, one is not an orphan after experiencing wet-dream, vowing to remain silent for the whole day until the night is not valid, going back to disbelief after migrating to Islam is not permissible, migration after the conquest is not applicable, divorce before marriage is not valid, setting free of slaves before owning a slave is not valid, oath by the son against his father or of a slave against his master, or a wife against her husband is not valid, a vow for unlawful matters is not valid. Swearing to disregard good relation with relatives is not permissible. The meaning of the words of the Messenger of Allah, ‘Breastfeeding after weaning is not effective’ means that if a boy drinks the milk of a woman after he is weaned, such breastfeeding does not make marriage unlawful.’”

“I said to (Imam) abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.), ‘It is confuses me that when I ask you a question and you give an answer and then other person comes and you give a different answer for the same question.’” The Imam replied, “We answer people in a larger and reduced forms.” I then asked, “Did the Sahabah, companions of the holy Prophet speak the truth or lies when narrating his Hadith?” The Imam replied, “They spoke the truth.” I then said, “Why then they have differences?” Have you not considered the fact that a man would come to the holy Prophet (s.a.) and ask a question and would give him an answer and then he would answer that would abrogate the previous answer. Thus, Ahadith abrogated other Ahadith.”

Call in my friend.’ Then both Ayesha and Hafasa sent someone after their fathers (Abu Bakr and Umar). When they came in, God’s Prophet (MGB) covered up his face. Then Abu Bakr and Umar returned. Then the Prophet (MGB) uncovered his face and said, ‘Call in my friend.’ Again both Ayesha and Hafasa sent someone after their fathers - Abu Bakr and Umar. When they came in, God’s Prophet (MGB) covered up his face again. Then Abu Bakr and Umar said ‘We do not think that God’s Prophet (MGB) wants to see us.’ Ayesha and Hafasa said ‘When the Prophet (MGB) said ‘Call in my friend’ we hoped that he (MGB) wants to see you.’ Meanwhile the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) came in. When the Prophet (MGB) saw Ali (MGB), he hugged him and whispered one-thousand narrations to him each of which has one-thousand chapters.”

“God’s Prophet (MGB) taught Ali (MGB) one-thousand words which open up to the doors to all words (each of which open up to the doors to all words).”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is required to perform three Tawaf around the House, perform after every Tawaf two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) and two Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who borrows a certain amount of wealth and it remains with him for one year. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the person from whom he has borrowed pays Zakat for such wealth then Zakat is not due on the borrower but if the lender does not pay then he (the borrower) pays Zakat for such wealth.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Divorce three times in non-waiting period (without waiting period) if she is clean from Hayd (menses) counts as one, but if she is not clean of Hayd (menses) then it (divorce) does not have any valid effect.’”

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is the person in charge of the assets of an orphan; if he can borrow from such assets. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), would borrow from the assets of orphans under his guardianship, thus, it is not harmful.’”

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a house which a certain people divided, each one took a piece, built and left in between a courtyard with the driveway on it. A man came and bought the share of someone among them; if he can do so. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so but he must close his door and open a door to a driveway or climb down from the top of the house and close its door. When the owner of the driveway decides to sell, they have the right more than others, otherwise, it is the pathway through which he comes to set on that door.’”
