“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘When a man completes one Salah (prayer) properly, all of his other prayers are accepted; even though they may not be complete. If he loses them, altogether, none of his Salah (prayer) is accepted, and not even his optional or obligatory prayers are counted. Optional Salah (prayer) are accepted only after obligatory prayers are accepted. If one does not perform obligatory prayers, optional prayers are not accepted; they are to complete therewith the shortcomings of the obligatory ones.”

"Those who look at women from behind, are they not afraid that the same may happen to their own women?"

"In the wisdom of the family of Dawud (as), it is fitting for a wise person to be focused on his own affairs, to safeguard his tongue, and to be aware of the people of his time."

Were it not for prostration before Allah and the gatherings of the [pious ones among the] people who [choose to] utter virtuous words, just as the best dates are plucked [and harvested], I would have wished for death.”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who rinses his mouth and nostril when he is fasting. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so but he must not swallow it.’”

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Accompany someone like yourself. Do not accompany one who suffices you; it is humiliation for a believing person.’”

“If one assumes the state of Ihram before Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) and then involves with woman or hunting, there is nothing upon him.’”

‘Breastfeeding does not bring unlawfulness unless it grows flesh and blood.’”

"The son of the cursed woman is attributed to his mother, and all his matters and affairs belong entirely to her."

“When al-Qa’im rises, the swords will be brought down. On each sword there will be the name of the man, who will use it in fighting, and the name of his father.” O people of understanding! Would you please ponder a little on these traditions that talk about al-Qa’im (as), his conduct, his virtue, the angels, who will support him, his rough cloths and coarse food, his strife to obey Allah, his jihad for the sake of Allah to do away with injustice, oppression and tyranny, and to spread justice, fairness and kindness, the aspects of his companions, who will be three hundred and thirteen men, who will be the rulers of the world and by whom, with the support of the angels, the east and the west will be conquered? It is clear that the high position and honored rank that Allah has granted to Imam al-Mahdi, have not been granted to any of the previous imams (as). Allah has made Imam al-Mahdi (aj) the means that will carry out His promise, which He has promised the Prophet (S) of; to perfect the religion and make it prevail over all religions.
