"He must pay the full blood money (diyyah) plus one-third."

Abu Ja’far (asws) has said; ‘By Allah (azwj)! Had she (asws) spread her (asws) hair, they would have all died’.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Prayers are said when a deceased is placed in his grave and the surface of the grave is raised above the ground by four fingers.’”

to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Shall I mention the names of the Imams (as) during the prayer?" Imam (as) replied: "Summarize them”.

I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "What do you say about a man who cuts off one finger of a woman? How much is due for it?" Imam (as) replied: "Ten camels." I asked: "If he cuts off two (fingers)?" Imam (as) said: "Twenty (camels)." I asked: "If he cuts off three (fingers)?" Imam (as) said: "Thirty (camels)." I asked: "If he cuts off four (fingers)?" Imam (as) said: "Twenty (camels)." I said: "Glory be to Allah (swt)! He cuts off three fingers, and the compensation is thirty, but if he cuts off four, it becomes twenty? We used to hear this in Iraq and would disassociate ourselves from anyone who said it, claiming that whoever said this was influenced by Satan." Abu Abdullah (as) replied: "Wait, O' Aban! This is how the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ruled. A woman's compensation equals that of a man up to one-third of the diyyah (blood money). Once it reaches one-third, the woman's share reverts to half. O' Aban, you are applying analogy (qiyas) here, but the Sunnah, when subjected to analogy, destroys the religion."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Al-Qunut in obligatory Salah (prayer) is pleading (before Allah) and in Witr it is to ask forgiveness (from Allah).’” (Ahadith 1-9 are best explained in the form of fatwa.)

“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Qunut (supplication after recitation) in al-Witr is asking for forgiveness and in obligatory Salah (prayer) it is to ask for your wishes.’”

“I was in the presence of abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), as journey-mate between al-Madinah and Makkah. When we arrived at the area of al-Haram (the sacred area), he dismounted, took a shower, took his shoes in his hand and then entered the Sacred area barefoot. I also did as he had done. He said to me, ‘O Aban, if one does what you see me doing to show humbleness before Allah, Allah deletes one hundred thousand of his sins and writes down for him one hundred thousand good deeds. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, will build for him one hundred thousand degrees and makes his one hundred thousand wishes to come truth.’”

"For the lower lip, the compensation is six thousand (dirhams), and for the upper lip, it is four thousand (dirhams) because the lower lip holds water."

“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘One who is in a hurry may perform Salah (prayer) of Ja‘far without Tasbihat, then perform Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) them when walking (or working) for his needs.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is of the Sunnah that the Imam must not leave Mina’ for ‘Arafah, until it is sunrise.’”

“If you have laughed loudly, say, ‘O Lord, please, do not hate me.’”

"Say, ‘O Lord, I plead before You through Your Glory, Beauty and Magnanimity to provide me such and such help,’ one should mention one’s wishes.”

1. I do not know about him more of his name - from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), on seeing a dead body brought near, would say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who has not brought my life to an end.’”

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.) when coming out of the house would say, ‘In the name of Allah, I have come out, in Allah I have place my trust, and there are no means and no power without Allah.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If you need something, take Wudu’, perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer) and then praise Allah, speak of His greatness and read of verses (of Quran), then ask for your needs, your prayer will be answered.’”

“At bedtime he (abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.)) would say, ‘I believe in Allah and reject the devil. O Lord, protect me in my sleep and when I am awake.’”

“Whoever recites verse 110 of Chapter 18 he will wake up at the hour he wants to wake up.”

“I once went to visit abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when he performed Salah (prayer). I counted his Tasbih in Ruku’ (bowing down on one’s knees) and Sujud (prostration) which were sixty Tasbih.’”

“I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about Qunut (supplication after recitation in second Rak‘at) and what is said in it. He (the Imam) said, ‘Say whatever Allah makes to come out from your tongue. I do not know of anything definite for it.’”
