“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, sawiq digests heads (hard to digest food).”’ (See also Hadith 1 above).

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not take light what you use as a toothpick, it can cause a boil in one’s belly (that may cause one’s death).”’

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Salah (prayer) is not performed in al-Shuqrah valley.’”

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a Jurmuq (a larger slipper worn over another one) if it is permissible to perform Salah (prayer) with it and I showed it to him (the Imam) and he (the Imam) said, ‘It is permissible to perform Salah (prayer) with it.’”

“I said to Abu Abdillah (as): “May I be sacrificed for you! When will al-Qa’im appear?” He said: “O Abu Muhammad (Abu Baseer), we, the Ahlul Bayt, do not time. Muhammad (sw) has said: “The diviners have lied!” O Abu Muhammad, before this matter there will be five signs; a call (from the Heaven) in the month of Ramadan, the rising of as-Sufyani, the rising of al-Khurasani, the killing of Nafs al-Zakiyya, and a sinking in the desert. Before the appearance of al-Qa’im there must be two plagues; the white plague and the red plague.” I said: “What are they?” He said: “The white plague is a torrential death and the red plague is killing by the sword. Al-Qa’im does not appear until his name will be called out from the Heaven in the twenty-third night of Ramadan, which will be a night of Friday.” I said: “What will be called out?” He said: “The caller will call out the name of al-Qa’im and the name of his father and will say: “So-and-so the son of so-and-so is al-Qa’im of Muhammad’s progeny. You are to listen to him and to obey him.” And nothing created by Allah that has a spirit will remain except that it hears the shout, the sleepers will awake and get out to courtyards and the virgins will get out of their veils. Then al-Qa’im will appear after hearing the call. It will be the call of Gabriel (as).”

I am God. There is no god but Me. Whoever confesses to My Unity will enter My Stronghold. And whoever enters My Stronghold is secure from My punishment.”

I heard Aba `Abdillah al-Sadiq (as) say: A Jew came to the Prophet (sw) and stood in front of him, staring at him. So, he said: “O Jew! What do you need?” He said: “Are you more virtuous or Musa the son of Imran, the prophet whom Allah spoke to, who was given the Torah and the staff, for whom the sea was split, and who was shaded by the cloud?” So, the Prophet (sw) said to him: “It is disliked for a servant to praise himself, but I will say:
When Adam (as) made the mistake, he repented by saying: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to forgive me.’ So, Allah pardoned it for him.
When Nuh (as) boarded the Ark and feared drowning, he said: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to save me from drowning.’ So, Allah saved him from that.
When Ibrahim (as) was thrown into the fire, he said: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to deliver me from this.’ So, Allah made it cool and peaceful.
When Musa (as) cast his staff and felt fear in himself, he said: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to keep me safe from this.’ So, Allah said: ‘Fear not. Surely, it is you who is superior.’ (20:68) O Jew! [Even] if Moses were to meet me and disbelieve in me and my prophethood, his faith would not avail him at all, nor would his prophethood avail him.
O Jew! From my progeny is the Mahdi. When he appears, Jesus the son of Mary will descend to support him, and he will pray behind him.”

“The letters of abu Muhammad (a.s.) would come about the matters related to al-Junayd, who killed Fars, abu al-Hassan and others. When he passed away letters about the issues related to abu al-Hassan and his friend continued coming from (Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.) but there was no mention of al-Junayd. I became depressed about it. Thereafter, the news of the death of al-Junayd reached us.”

And whatever is narrated from Amr ibn Thabit, who is Amr ibn Abi Al-Miqdam, I have narrated it from Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Al-Ṣaffar and Al-Hasan ibn Matil together, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Khaṭṭab, from Al-Hakam ibn Miskin, from Amr ibn Thabit Abi Al-Miqdam.

10 – Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Khālid b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī, al-Barqī, known by the kunya of Abū Jaʿfar. The Qummis spoke against him, but the defamation is not about him. The defamation was only with regards to whom he narrated from, for he was not mindful of whom he took from, upon the manner of the people of reports (ahl al-akhbār). Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā banished him from Qum, but he brought him back later and apologized to him.

He is Amir ibn Abdullah ibn Jadhaah, an Arab from Kufa.

Whoever recites Surah Asr in his optional prayers, Allah would raise him on the Day of Judgment with cheerful and smiling face and happy and cool eyes, and eventually he would be admitted into Paradise.

“Surely the Almighty Allah has locked sin in a house. There is a door to that house which is locked. There is a key of that lock and the key to sin is wine.”

“I once asked Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), 'What should I say when I face the Black Stone?’ He (the Imam) replied, 'Say Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and say O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause).’ I also heard him when going near the Black Stone say Takbir (Allah is great beyond description), peace and obedience is due for the Messenger of Allah (saw).’”
