12.Also [narrated] from him (a), that he said, “Among the firmest handles of faith are that you love for Allah, hate for Allah, give for Allah, and withhold for Allah.”

Everything in this book that is narrated from Abu Wallad Al-Hannat has been transmitted by me from my father - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Al-Haytham ibn Abi Masruq Al-Nahdi, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Abu Wallad Al-Hannat, whose name was Hafs ibn Salim, a freed servant (mawla) of Banu Makhzum.

And whatever is narrated from Thuwair ibn Abi Fakhtah, I have narrated it from my father and from Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan - may Allah (swt) be pleased with them - from Saʿd ibn Abdullah, from Al-Haytham ibn Abi Masruq Al-Nahdi, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Malik ibn Aṭiyyah, from Thuwair ibn Abi Fakhtah, whose father's name was Saʿid ibn ʿIlaqah.

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.

Everything in this book that is narrated from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaz has been transmitted by me from Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Al-Mutawakkil - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Abdullah ibn Jafar Al-Himyari, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Khattab, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Abu Ayyub Ibrahim ibn Uthman Al-Khazzaz. It is also said that his name was Ibrahim ibn Isa.

4. Ibn Mahbub from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman does not have permission with the existence of her husband to set free a slave, give charity, contract with a slave, give gift or make a vow in her assets without the permission of her husband except payment of Zakat or doing good to parents or keeping good relations with her relatives.”’

Hadith.5890 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, brings out from the humiliation of sins to the honor of piety, Allah (swt) enriches him without wealth, honors him without a tribe, and comforts him without a companion. Whoever fears Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will make everything fear him, and whoever does not fear Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will make him fear everything. Whoever is content with the little provision Allah (swt) gives him, Allah (swt) will be pleased with his little deeds. Whoever is not ashamed to seek his livelihood, his burdens will be lightened, and his family will be blessed. And whoever renounces the world, Allah (swt) will instill wisdom in his heart, make it flow from his tongue, show him the flaws of the world - its sickness and its cure - and will take him safely from this world to the abode of peace."

Hadith.4478 - Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who married a Dhimmi woman (non-Muslim under Muslim protection) while already married to a Muslim woman. Imam (as) said: "They should be separated, and he should be given one-eighth of the prescribed punishment, which amounts to twelve and a half lashes. However, if the Muslim woman consents to it, he should still receive one-eighth of the punishment, but they should not be separated." I asked: "How is half a lash administered?" Imam (as) replied: "The whip is held by its middle, and he is struck with it."

Hadith.3662 - Al-Hasan bin Mahbub narrate from Abu Walad who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (as), 'What do you think about a man who holds positions in the service of the Sultan and has no means of livelihood except through his work for them? I pass by him, and he hosts me, treats me kindly, and sometimes gives me dirhams and clothing. I feel uneasy about this.' Imam (as) said to me: 'Take it and eat from it, for the benefit is yours, and the sin is upon him.'

Hadith.5266 - Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who inflicted a mudhiha (a wound exposing the bone) on a slave. Imam (as) said: "He is liable to pay half of one-tenth of the slave's value."

Hadith.5267 - Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) was asked about a slave who injured two men. Imam (as) said: "He is to be divided between them if his crime equals his full value." It was asked: "What if he injured one man in the morning and another in the evening?" Imam (as) replied: "He is to be divided between them as long as the governor has not ruled regarding the first injured person. But if the governor had already ruled and handed the slave over to the first injured party due to his injury, and then the slave committed another injury afterward, then his liability for that second injury falls upon the latter victim."

Hadith.5265 - Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a slave who injured a free man. Imam (as) said: "If the free man wishes, he may take retribution (qisas) from him, and if he wishes, he may take the slave if the injury is severe enough to warrant his execution. If the injury does not warrant execution, then the slave's master must pay compensation (diyyah). If the master refuses to pay the compensation, then the injured free man has a right over the slave equivalent to the diyyah of his injury, and the rest belongs to the master. The slave is then sold, the injured party takes his due, and the remainder is returned to the master."

Hadith.5301 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a forearm (the arm below the elbow) that was struck and resulted in the fracture of the wrist bone. Imam (as) replied: If the hand becomes paralyzed or all the fingers of the hand become immobile due to the injury, then two-thirds of the blood money (diyyah) of the entire hand is applicable. Imam (as) further stated: If only some of the fingers become paralyzed while others remain functional, then for each finger that becomes paralyzed, two-thirds of its individual diyyah is applicable. The same ruling applies to the leg and foot if the toes of the foot become paralyzed.

Hadith.5299 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The fingers of the hands and feet are equal in compensation (diyyah)." Imam (as) also said: "If a tooth is struck, it should be observed for a year. If it falls out, the striker must pay five hundred dirhams. However, if it does not fall out but turns black, the striker must pay two-thirds of its compensation."

Hadith.5333 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Indeed, in the book of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), it is written: 'If a man were to cut off the private part of his wife, I would obligate him to pay her full blood money (diyyah). If he does not pay her the diyyah, I would cut off his private part for her if she demands it.'"

Hadith.5334 - Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who kicked a woman in her private area, and she claimed that her menstruation had stopped while it was previously regular. Imam (as) said: "She should be observed for one year. If her menstruation returns, then nothing is required. But if it does not return, the man must pay one-third of her blood money (diyyah) for the damage to her menstruation and the harm caused to her womb."

9. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who usurps the wealth of a believer unlawfully, Allah will have hatred and enmity with him and his good deeds will not be accepted till he repents and returns the wealth to its owner.”

4. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “One who fasts on first of Shaban then surely, Paradise would be made obligatory for him. If he observes two fasts, the Almighty Allah would look at him with mercy in this world every day and night. He would also shower His mercy on him in Paradise. One who fasts for three days would get to visit Allah daily on the Divine throne in Paradise.”

311. Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (AS) saying; ‘Three things are a matter of pride for the believer and an adornment of him in the world and the Hereafter: the prayer during the last part of the night, and his dejection from what is in the hands of the people, and his Wilayah of the Imam from the progeny of Muhammad (saww). And the three who are the most evil of creation by whom the best of creation was plagued are Abu Sufyan who fought against the Messenger of Allah (sw) and opposed him, and Muawiya who fought against Ali (AS) and opposed him, and Yazid bin Muawiya, may Allah curse him, who fought against Al-Husayn bin Ali (AS) and opposed him until he killed him’.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “I consider it better to resolve conflict between two friends better than giving two dinars as Sadaqah.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Resolving a conflict between two friends is better than worship of one year.”
