Hadith 304

The book of Husayn Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ of Fazalah, from Abdullah Bin Yazeed, from Ali Bin Yaqoub who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘Do not let the people deceive you from yourself for the Recompense will come to you besides them, and do not let the day pass by from you with such, for with you is one who is recording upon you! And do not consider the little good as less, for tomorrow you will see it whereby it will cheer you, and do not consider the little evil as less, for tomorrow you will see it whereby it will worsen you! And do good for I-asws have not seen anything more intensely sought nor quicker in coming across than a new good deed for an old sin. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says: Surely the good deeds erase the evil deeds, that is a Reminder for the mindful [11: 114]’’. [154]
The book of Husayn Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ of Ibn Mahboub, from Al Sumali who said, ‘I heard Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws saying: ‘One who words with what Allah-azwj has Imposed upon him, so he is best of the people, and one who shuns what Allah-azwj has Prohibited upon him, so he is from the most worshipping of the people, and one who is content with what Allah-azwj has Apportioned for him, so he is from the richest of the people’’. [155]
The book of Husayn Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Ali Bin Al Numan, from Ibn Muskan, from Dawood Bin Farqad, from Abu Shayba Al Zuhry, ‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘Woe be to the one not making it a religion of Allah-azwj with instructing with the act of kindness and forbidding from the evil’. He-asws said: ‘And the one who says, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, will not enter the kingdoms of the sky until he completes his words with righteous deeds, and there is no religion for the one who makes it a religion without a just Imam-asws, and there is no religion for the one who makes it a religion with obedience to an oppressor’. He-asws said: ‘And every people are inspired by the abundance until they visit the graves’. He-asws said: ‘And the one who does good and does not do evil is better than the one who does good and does evil, and the one who does good, and evil is better than the one who does evil and does not do good’. And he-asws said; ‘And the pausing at the suspicion is better than storming into the destruction’’. [156]
The book of Husayn Bin Saeed and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Al Nazr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from a man from the clan of Hashim who said, ‘I heard him saying, ‘Four, one who has these in him, his Islam would be perfect, and even if there were signs in what is between his head and his feet, that would not reduce him – the truthfulness, and the modesty, and good manners, and the thanking’’. [157]
(The book) ‘Al Tamhees’ – from Mihzam Al Asady, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Ourasws Shia is one whose voice does not exceed his hearing, not even the lobe of his ear, and he does not praise us openly, and does not connect with a hater of ours-asws, nor does he dispute a friend of ours-asws, nor does he sit with a faulter of ours’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘How do I deal with these Shias? ’
He-asws said: ‘Among them is the scrutiny, and among them is the distinguishing and among them is the change. There will come upon them years annihilating them, and a plague killing them, and differing scattering them! Our-asws Shia is one not howling the howling of the dog, nor coveting like coveting of the crow, and he does not beg even if he were to die of hunger! ’
I said, ‘So where can I seek them? ’
He-asws said: ‘Seek them in the outskirts of the earth. They, their lives are light, their houses get transferred, the ones when they are present, are unknown, and when they are absent, they are not missed, and if they fall sick they are not consoled, and if they propose they are not married, and if they see evil, they dislike it. And if the ignorant one addresses them, they greet, and if one with a need seeks shelter to them they are merciful, and during the death they are not grieving, and in the graves they are visiting each other. Their hearts do not differ, and even if you were to see the cities being different with them’’. [158]
