“I asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the meaning of the words of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'Glory be to Allah', what is the meaning of it?’ He said: ‘His Transcendence’.”

“Abstaining from annoying (others with arguments) and desisting from shouting increase one’s sustenance.”

Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Giving one DIRHAM as charity in Kūfah is equal to giving two hundred Dirhams as charity elsewhere, and praying two Rak’ah in Kūfah is equal to praying one hundred Rak’ah (elsewhere).

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when one’s realization of the bounties of Allah becomes intense, it increases his spending for people. You should continue preserving bounties by means of bearing the cost of maintenance. Do not expose bounties to losses. Once bounties are lost, very rarely do they return.”

I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, of the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Glorified be Allah» (23:91) What does He mean with it? He said: Extolment.

I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS), “What was meant by the words of Allah, the Mighty, and High: `Glory be to Allah?” He (AS) explained, “His deanthropomorphism.”

"A woman does not inherit from what her husband leaves behind of villages, houses, weapons, or animals. However, she inherits from money, slaves, clothing, and household items that he leaves behind." Imam (as) then said: "The dismantled parts of palm trunks, reeds, and doors are evaluated, and she is given her rightful share from that."

The world is making progress. Whatever you earn in this world, you earn it despite your weaknesses. Yet, you may lose some thing and not be able to hold on to them with all your strength.”He (MGB) then added, “Whoever forgets about what he has lost is in comfort, and whoever is pleased with what he has been granted will be cheerful.”

“This is about the case of a man who goes to bed with his slave-girl and sends her to do certain works for him. She becomes pregnant; he [accuses] her and receives news of her misbehaving. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she gives birth he must keep the child and must not sell him but assign for him a share from his house [and assets].’ It was then asked about a man who goes to bed with his slave-girl, does not send her to work for him but he accuses her of misbehaving and she becomes pregnant. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she gives birth he must keep the child and must not sell but assign a share for the child from his house and assets. This is not like that.’”

he heard rumors of her misconduct. Abu Abdullah (as) said: "Tell him that when she gives birth, he should keep the child and not sell it, and he should allocate a share for the child from his house." It was then said to Imam (as): "What about a man who had intimate relations with his maid but did not send her out for errands, yet he suspected her and she became pregnant?" Imam (as) replied: "When she gives birth, he should keep the child and not sell it, and he should allocate a share for the child from his house and wealth. This case is not like the previous one."

“Once Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) said to me, ‘People are of six categories.’ I then asked, ‘Can I write them down?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, you can do so.’ I then asked, ‘What should I write?’ The Imam said, ‘Write down: the people promised paradise and those warned against the fire (but ignored it). Write down, “. . . others of them have already confessed their sins and have mixed virtuous deeds with sinful ones.’” (9:102) I then asked, ‘Who are such people?’ The Imam said, ‘Wahshi (assassin of Hamza) is one of them.’ The Imam said, ‘Write down, “There are others who have no good deeds for which they may receive any reward or sins for which they may be punished. . . .” (9:106) The Imam said, ‘Write down, “As for the really weak and oppressed men, women, and children who were not able to find any means of obtaining their freedom or of having the right guidance, (4:98) [are not able to do anything against the unbelievers or find the right guidance] perhaps Allah will forgive them; He is All-merciful and All- forgiving.” (4:99) The Imam said, ‘Write down the people of ‘A’raf.’ I asked, ‘Who are they?’ The Imam said, ‘They are the people whose good and bad deeds measure equally. If they will be sent to the fire it will be due to their sins and if they will be sent to paradise it will be due to His kindness.’”
