اربعون حديثا عن  الامام جعفر الصادق عليه السلام

1- وَ أَمّا وَجهُ الحَرامِ مِنَ الوِلايَةِ: فَوِلايَةُ الوالیِ الجائِرِ، وَوِلايَةِ، الرَّئيسِ مِنهُم وَ اتباعِ الوالیِ فَمَن دُونَهُ مِن وُلاةِ الوُلاةِ، إِلی أَدناهُم باباً مِن أَبوابِ الوِلايَةِ عَلی مَن هُوَ والٍ عَلَيهِ، وَ العَمَلُ لَهُم وَالکَسبُ مَعَهُم- بِجَهَةِ الوِلايَةِ لَهُم - حَرامٌ وَمُحَّرَمٌ، مُعَذَّبٌ مَن فَعَلَ ذلِکَ عَلی قَليلٍ مِن فِعلِهِ أَو کَثيرٍ، لأِنَّ کُلَّ شَئ ءٍ - مِن جِهَةِ المَعُونَةِ – مَعصِيَةٌ کَبيرَةٌ مِنَ الکَبائِرِ، وَ ذلِکَ أَنَّ في وِلايَةِ  الوالِی الجِائِر دَوسَ (دَرسَ) الحَقِّ کُلِهِ، وَإِحياءَ الباطِلِ کُلِّهِ، وَإِظهارَ الظُّلمِ  وَالجَورِ وَالفِسادِ ،وَإِبطالَ الکُتُبِ وَقَتلَ الأَنبِياءِ  وَالمُؤمِنينَ، وَ هَدمَ المَساجِدِ  وَتَبديلَ سُنَّةِ اللهِ وَ شَرايِعِهِ فَلِذلِکَ حَرُمَ العَمَلُ مَعَهُم وَ مَعُونَتُهُم  وَالکَسبُ  مَعَهُم إِلاّ بِجِهَةِ الضَّروُرَةِ  نَظيِرَالضَّروُرَةِ إِلی  الدَّمِ وَالمَيمَنَةِ. (تحف العقول ص332)

2- اِنَّ مَعرِفَةَ اللهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ آنِسٌ مِن کُلِّ وَحشَةٍ، وَصاحِبٌ مِن کُلِّ وَحدَةٍ، وَنُورٌ مِن کُلِّ ظُلمَةٍ، وَقُوَّةٌ مِن کُلِّ ضَعفٍ،وَشِفاءٌ مِن کُلِّ سُقيمٍ. (فروغ الکافی ج8 ص247)

FORTY TRADITIONS FROM IMAM JAFER SADlQ (A.S)

1.However, the prohibited form of guardiouship: So the rulership of the tyrant ruler &: the rulership of his govemers, their chief, the follwers of the rulers, so besides them the sub rulers under the rule of the main ruler, right down to the smallest one, is a door out of the doors of rulership upon whom he is a ruler. And working for them &: having bussiness &: trade relations whith them (as an acceptance of their rule) is prohibited &: unlawful

Who soever does it, whether more of it or less of it, will get tormented &: chastised.

Because all that done (as an assistance to them) is a big sin among the big sins.

And this is because during the rulership of the tyrant all the righteousness gets wiped off. &: all that is falsehood will be revived in the rulership of the oppressor &: tryrant ruler. And the cruelity &: brutility &: corruption manifested &: the heavenly books will get falsified &: forfeited. And the Prophets &: faithfuls will be killed. And the mosques will get dislodged &: dismantled. And the sunnah &: ordinances &: religious laws of Allah be changed. This is the reason why co working with them, helping, &: assisting them except where there exists a nececity like eating (haram &: probited) blood &: corpse (deal body). )for saving of life etc) is prohibited. (TUHfUL AQOOL. P .3.32)

2. Indeed the cognition &: knowing of Allah provides comfort in all terrors &: frights. And it is the companion in all solitudes &: lonlinesses &: the light in all darknesses &: energy in all weaknesses &: feeblenesses &: the cure of all diseases &: ailments. (FAROO AL KAFI VOL 8. P 247)

3- عَن عمَرِبنِ حَنظَلَة قالَ: سَأَلتُ اَبا عَبدِاللهِ (ع) عَن رَجُلَينِ مِن اَصحابِنا بَينَهُما مُنازِعَةٌ فی دَينٍ اَو ميراثٍ، فَتَحاکَما اِلی السُّلطانِ وَاِلَی القُضاةِ اَيَحِلُّ ذلِکَ؟ قالَ:مَن تَحاکَمَ اِلَيهِم فی حَقٍّ اَو باطلٍ فاِنَّما تَحاکَمَ اِلی الطّاغُوتِ، وَ ما يَحکُمُ لَهُ فإنَّما يَأخُذُ سُحتاً ،وَاِن کانَ حَقّاً ثابِتاً لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ اَخَذَهُ بِحُکمِ الطّاغُوتِ وَما  اَمَرَ اللهُ اَن يُکفَرَ بِهِ،قالَ اللهُ تَعالی يُريدُونَ اَن يَتَحاکَمُوا اِلَی الطّاغُوتِ وَقَد اُمِرُواَن يَکفُرُوبِهِ، قُلتُ فَکَيفَ يَصنَعانِ؟قالَ يَنظُرانِ مَن کانَ مِنکُم مِمَّن قَد رَوی حَديثَناوَنَظَرَ في حَلالِناوَحَرامِنا وَعَرفَ اَحکامَنا فَليَرضَوا بِهِ حَکَماً فاِنّي قَد جَعَلتَهُ عَلَيکُم حاکِماً. (الوسائل ج18 ص99)

4- اَلقُضاةُ اَربَعةٌ:ثَلاثَةٌ في النّارِ وَواحِدٌ في الجَنَّةِ: رَجُلٌ قَضی بِجُورٍ وَهُوَ يَعلَمُ فَهُوَ في النّارِ، وَرَجُلٌ قَضی بِجَورٍ وَهُوَ لا يَعلَمُ فَهُوَ في النّارِ،وَرَجُلٌ قَضی بِحَقّ وَهُوَ لا يَعلَمُ فَهُوَ فِي النّارِ، وَرَجُلٌ قَضی بِحَقٍّ وَهُوَ يَعلَمُ فَهُوَ في الجَنَّةِ. (تحف العقول 365)

5- مَن رَأی أَخاهُ عَلی أَمرٍيَکرَهُهُ وَلا يَرُدُّهُ عَنهُ وَهُوَ يَقدِرُ عَلَيهِ فَقَد خانَهُ. (امالی صدوق ص162)

6- لا يَتبَعُ الرَّجُلَ بَعدَ مَوتِهِ إِلاّ ثَلاثُ خِصالٍ: صَدَقَهٌ أَجرهَا اللهُ له  في حَياتِهِ فَهِيَ تَجرِي لَهُ بَعدَ مَوتِهِ، وَسُنَّةُ هُدیً يُعمَلُ بِها، وَوَلَدٌ صالِحٌ يَدعُولَهُ. (تحف العقول ص363)

3. Umer bin Hazala says I enquired from Imam Jaffer Sadiq(A.S) "Two men out of us have a dispute about a debt or a heritage &: proceed toward the king &: the judges of the age (appointed by the king) to get their affair settled. Is this act of theirs lawful?'

Imam Sadiq said, 'Anyone who refers to them for Judgement of whether something right or false, so truely he has referd to Taghut (satan, Devil). And what so ever judgment the (satanic institution,) executes for him (should that even be a right one) is getting (haram) Prohibited wealth, because, he gets it upon the order of false diety, (satan). Where as, Allah has commanded in the Holy Quran to deny the satan &: devil. Allah said 'They desire to undergo the rulership of satan (Taghoot) &:' They have already been ordained to disbelieve it.'

I said 'so how do they settle their dispute?' He replied ',They should look for the one among you who narrates our hedieth (traditions) &: sees into (Probes) our licit (lawful) &: our forbidden &: knows our legal provisions &: ordinances so they must get contented with his judgement (mediation). Truely, I have already made them the rulers over you. (ALW ASAIL VOL 18, P 99)

4. The Judges are four (catagories). Three of them are to enter the hell fire &: a single one into the heaven. 1, The one who makes Judgement cruelly &: by injustice &: he is aware of it. 2. The one who makes judgements cruelly &: tyrnaically (unjustly) but unknowingly, he is in the fire of hell. .3. And a man who makes Judgement according to justice &: rightly &: he does not know it, so he is in the hell fire. 4. And a person who makes judgement rightly &: justly &: he knows it, so he will enter the paradise. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P .365)

5. The person who sees his brother (religious) involved (in a problem) which is the cause of his trouble &: dislikeness &: he does not remove it from him although he can do that, has committed a dishonesty with him. (AMALI SADDUK, P 162)

6. Nothing follows a person after his death except three virtues &. qualities.

1. The alms &: charity that he may have executed by the grace of Allah in his life &: which continues on after his death. (ie)-(like schools, hospitals, social welfare institutions, books, wells, bridges, roads etc.) 2. And a decent &: good tradition (left over by him) which is put into practice (after his death). 3. A pious son who prays for him. (TUHFUL AQOOL, P .36.3)

7- لِلمُسلِمِ عَلی اَخيهِ المُسلِمِ مِنَ الحَقَّ اَن يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيهِ اِذا لَقِيَهُ، وَيَعُودَهُ اِذا مَرِضَ، وَيَنصَحَ لَهُ اِذا غابَ، وَيُسَمِّتَهُ اِذا عَطَسَ، وَيُجيبَهُ اِذا دَعاهُ، وَيتبَعَهُ اِذا ماتَ. (اصول کافی ج2 باب اخوة المؤمن علی هخيه ص171)

8- أَلمُؤمِنُ أَخُوالمُؤمِنِ، کَالجَسَدِ الواحِدِ، إِنِ اشتَکی شَيئاً مِنهُ وَجَدَ أَلَمَ ذلِکَ في سائِرِ جَسَدِهِ، وَأَرواحُهُما مِن رُوحٍ واحِدَةٍ، وَانَّ روُحَ المُؤمِنِ لَأَشَدُّ اِتّصالاً بِروُح اللهِ مِن اتِّصالِ شُعاعِ الشَّمسِ بِها. (اصول کافی ج2 باب اخوة المؤمن ص166)

9- حَقُّ المُسلِمِ عَلَی المُسلِمِ أَن لا يَشبَعَ وَيَجُوعَ أَخُوهُ، وَلا يَروی وَيَعطَشَ اَخُوهُ،وَلا يَکتَسِیَ وَيَعری اَخُوهُ،فَما أَعظَمَ حَقَّ المُسلِمِ عَلی أَخيهِ المُسلِمِ، وَقالَ : أَحِبَّ لِاَخيکَ المُسلِمِ ما تُحِبُّ لِنَفسِکَ. (اصول کافی ج2 باب حق المؤمن علی اخية ص170)

10- أَلمُؤمِنُ أخُو المؤمن، عَينُهُ وَدليلُهُ  لا يَخُونُهُ وَلا يَظلِمُهُ وَلا يَغُشُّهُ وَلا يَعِدُهُ عِدَةً فَيُخلِفُهُ. (اصول کافی ج2 باب اخوة المومنين ص166)

11- أَدنی ما يَخرُجِ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الايمانِ أَن يُؤَاخِيَ الرَّجُلَ عَلی دينِهِ فَبُحصيَ عَلَيهِ عَثَراتِهِ وَزَلاّتِهِ لِيُعَنِّفَهُ بها يَوماً[ما] (معانی الاخبار ص394)

7. Some of the rights of a muslim upon his muslim brother are that he salutes him when he meets him. And visits him when he becomes ill, &' when he is absent he wishes him his benovelence &' beneficience ie, defends him in his absence). &' prays for him when he sneeks, (saying يرحمک الله (God take pity on you) &' accepts his invitation when he invites him &' ascorts his funeral when he dies.' (USOOL AL KAFJ VOL 2. P 171)

(chapter: 'Faithful's rights upon his brother' 8. Faithful is the brother of faithful just like one single

body, (so that) if one part of it has a complaint the entire body feels &' recieves the pain &' trouble. And their souls are from a single soul. And indeed the tie &' connection of the faithful's soul to the soul of Allah is more powerful &' strengthier than the connection of the rays of sun with it. (USOOL AL KAFJ VOL 2. P 166)

9. The muslims' right upon (another) muslim is that he must not be full &' satiated &' his brother remains hungery. And he must not get his thirst quenched &' his brother remains thirsty. And he must not dress himself up when his brother is naked. So how great &' exhoberent is the right of a muslim upon his muslim brother. And he (A.S) said do wish for your muslim brother the same which you want for yourself. (USOOL AL KAFJ VOL 2, P 170 Faithful's right upon his brother.')

10. Faithful is the brother of faithful, his eye &' his guide. He does not commit any dishonesty &' does not execute aggression upon him nor teachery &' deception And when he commits &' gives him a word, does not go back upon it. (USOOL AL KAFJ VOL 2, P 166, chapter: Brother hood of faithfuls)

11. The smallest thing which turns a man out of faith (renders him faithless) is that he keeps counting the faults, lapses missteps &' fauxes of his brother in faith so that one day he may reprimand him. (by those weaknesses).

(MAANJ AL EKHBAR. P .394)

(تحف العقول ص304)

20. Seventy sins of ignorant are forgiven before one sin of a

scholar is forgiven.. (USOOLAL KAFI VOL I. P 47)

I. Because the scholar by virtue of his knowledge knows all the pros & cons & consequences of committing a sin, where as, an a un aware & ignorant person does not know them. But this is not a justification for comittingsin by those ignorant or that one should not become educated & learned in the field of religious ethics & Islamic code of conduct.)

21- وَلا تَکُن بَطِراً في الغِنی وَلا جَزِعاً في الفَقرِ، وَلا تَکُن فَظّاً غَليظاً يَکرَهُ النّاسُ قُربَکَ ،وَلا تَکُن واهِناً يُحَقِّرُکَ مَن عَرَفَکَ، وَلا تُشارَّ مَن فَوقَکَ، وَلا تَسخَر بِمَن هُوَ دُونَکَ،وَلا تُنازٍع الاَمرَ اَهلَهُ،وَلا تُطِعِ السُّفَهاد،وَلا تَکُن مَهيناً تَحتَ کُلَّ اَحَدٍ،وَلا تَتَّکِلَنَّ عَلی کِفايَةِ اَحَدٍ، وَقِف عِندَ کُلَّ اَمرٍ حَتّی تَعرِفَ مَدخَلَهُ مِن مَخرجِهِ قَبلَ اَن تَقَعَ فيهِ فَتَندَم، وَاجعَل قَلبَکَ قَريباً تُشارِکُهُ، وَاجعَل عَمَلَکَ والِداً تَتَّبِعُهُ،وَاجعَل نَفسَکَ عَدُوّاً تُجاهِدُهُ،وَعارِيَةً تَرُدُّها، فإِنَّکَ قَد جُعِلتَ طَبيبَ نَفسِکَ وَعُرَفتَ آيَةَ الصَّحَّةِ،وَبُيَّنَ لَکَ الدّاءُ، وَدُلِتَ عَلیَ الدَّواءِ،فَانظُر قِيامَکَ عَلی نَفسِکَ.
