"Al-Bada' does take place to Allah (swt) from ignorance."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Wash your hands in one utensil; it is good for the betterment of your moral behavior . 555

“I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), leveled the pebbles when he wanted to perform Sujud (prostration).”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One’s trusting a treacherous person and wasting assets is a worthless act.’”

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘A wine addict will meet Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, when he meets Him, as a worshipper of idols will do.’”

When Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was killed, the heavens rained red dust.

"The fence belongs to the one to whom the boundary rope (al-qimat) is attached."

I was in the presend of Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) when `Amr ibn `Ubayd entered and aked, “May I be your ransom! What is the wrath which is referred to in the Word of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted: And to whomsoe ver My Wrath is due shall perish indeed?1 Thus, Abu Ja`far (AS) replied. O `Amr! That is punishment. Verily, whoever claims that Allah, the Mighty and High, declines from one thing to another, then he has certainly given Him an attribute of the created. Verily, nothing instigates Allah, the Mighty and High, and nothing modifies Him.

I was in the congregation of Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, and then ‘Amru bin Ubayd entered into him, and he said to him: May I be sacrificed for you, the saying of Allah: «And he upon whom descends My wrath, has indeed fallen» (20:82). What is that wrath? Then Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, said: It is the punishment, O Amru. Verily, he who claims that Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has moved from one thing to another thing, he has indeed described him with the characteristic of a created, for indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, is not incited by anything nor changed by anything.

Al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) said: These two verses were revealed for the people of our wilaya and our enemies, “Thus, then, if he is of those brought near, then relief and satisfaction” – meaning, in his grave, “and the Paradise of Bliss” (56:88-89) – meaning, in the Hereafter – “and if he is of those who bely the truth and are misguided, then he will be in boiling water” – meaning, in his grave – “burning in Hell” (56:92-94) – meaning, in the Hereafter.

Indeed our sayings are hard to understand. Only the following four can understand them: either a nearby-stationed angel; a dispatched Prophet; a servant of God whose faith has been tested or a strong town.” Shoayb al-Had’dad asked, “What do you mean by a strong town?” The Imam (MGB) replied, “I mean a heart with a firm belief.”

I heard al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) saying: “Surely, our narrations are difficult and distressing. None can handle them except an angel brought near, a commissioned prophet, a believer whose heart has been tested by Allah for faith, or a fortified city.” `Amr said: So I said to Shu`ayb: “O Abu’l Hasan! What is the fortified city?” He said: I said: I asked al-Sadiq (as) about it, and he said to me: “The well-constituted heart.”

‘Call upon Me, I will answer you’. You have been given the assurance of acceptance of supplications. Seven angels are appointed for arresting each Satan so that none can overpower you till the end of this month. Know that, the doors of heaven are opened from the first night of Ramadan and that the supplications in this month are always accepted.”

“There is no doubt that it has been mentioned in the Book of Allah that twelve (caliphs) will rule over people.”

“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘One who cannot find an offering and likes to fast the three days during the first ten days, it is not an offense for him to do so.”

“I saw abu Ja’far (a.s.), drink water from a pottery bowl.’”

“It is a responsibility for Allah to expose the house wherein sin is committed, to the sun to cleanse it (subject it to ruination).”

“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said, ‘Rest in the form of a short nap between sunrise and noontime; Allah gives food and water to a fasting person during his sleep.”’

“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When horses roam and swords shake, two Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) are sufficient for him and this is another reduction.”’
