عبد الله بن جعفر

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq was asked, “What is the punishment of murder?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Hell.”

A person who commits suicide will remain in Hell forever.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “A person who laughs while committing a sin will enter Hell weeping.”

“This verse is revealed regarding Qadiris: “taste the touch of Hell. Surely We have created everything according to a measure.”32

Al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will spread His mercy to the point where Iblis will hope for His mercy.

“If a few children of a person die and if he/she hopes for reward in turn those children will act as a shield in front of the fire of Hell for that person.”

“One who blames a believing man or woman falsely, the Almighty Allah will count him among ‘Teenat-e-Khabaal’ on the Day of judgment.” The narrator asked the meaning of ‘Teenat-e- Khabaal’. Imam answered, “The dirty liquid coming out of the private parts of a fornicator woman.”

Whoever loses children after teaching them about Allah, they will shield him from the Fire by the permission of Allah.

I saw the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) kiss Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.) and say: The fire will not touch the face of those who are sincere in their love for Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.) and their progeny, even if their sins are equal to the number of (grains of) sand, unless they have committed a sin that expels them from the faith.

There is a mill in Hell which grinds five. Don’t you wish to ask me what it grinds?’ They asked him (MGB), ‘What does it grind?’ Ali (MGB) said, ‘It grinds wicked wise men; corrupt Quran recitors; wicked oppressors; dishonest ministers; and gnostics who lie. There is a town in Hell which is called Hasineh. Don’t you wish to ask me what is in it?’ They asked him, ‘O Commander of the Faithful! What is in it?’ He (MGB) replied, ‘The hands of the perfidious party (Nakiseen).’”

When `Isa b. Maryam (as) was born, he was one day old, but it was as though he was two months old. When he was seven months old, his mother took him by the hand to the scribes and sat him in front of the teacher. So, the teacher said: Say: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. So, `Isa (as) said: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. So, the teacher said: Say the alphabet. So, `Isa (as) raised his head and said: Do you know what the alphabet is? So, he took a stick to discipline him, so he said: O teacher! Do not discipline me. If you do not know, then ask me so that I may explain it to you. He said: Explain it to me. So `Isa (as) said: “A” is the signs (alaa’) of Allah, “B” is the delight (bahja) of Allah, “J” is the beauty (jamal) of Allah, and “D” is the religion (din) of Allah. “H” is the horror (hawl) of Hell, “W” is the woe (wayl) of the people of the Fire, and “Z” is the roar (zafir) of Hellfire. “Ḥ” is the falling (hattat) of sins from those who repent. “K” is the words (kalam) of Allah, for which there is no substitute. “Sa`fas” is a measure (sa`) for a measure, and a reward for a reward. “Qarshat” means that He gathers them (qarashahum) and resurrects them. So, the teacher said: O woman! Take your son by the hand, for he is learned, and he has no need for a teacher.

“Safeguard your religion through piety and seeking help from Allah instead of seeking help from the worldly ruler. Know that if a believer bows in front of a ruler for worldly benefits, Allah will weaken his voice, make that ruler his bitter enemy and hand him over to the ruler whom he had relied upon. Even if that person is successful in getting wealth Allah will take away abundance (Barakat) from it. If he spends that wealth for Hajj, Umrah or for freeing slaves, Allah will not give any reward for it.”
