Imam Jafer e Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that one day
I and my father Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) went to the mosque of the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.w.), when I saw a group of my fathers companions sitting between
the prophet's grave and the pulpit my father went near them and saluted them
and said.
”By Allah (s.w.t.) I love your smell and
your souls help us love you by being pious and by sincere efforts
and you should know that our mastership can be achieved only by being pious and
by sincere efforts towards good deeds.
One who claims to be from a group, then his
actions should be in accordance to the actions of that group. You are the
followers and helpers of Allah (s.w.t.). You are the ones who preceed
everyone from amongst the earlier ones and the later ones (in good deeds). You
preceed in our love in this world and will preceed in going to Paradise in the
hereafter.
I guarantee you paradise on the basis of the
gurantee of Allah (s.w.t.) and the Holy Prophet(s.a.w.w.). All the beleiveing
women are Houries and all the beleivers are most truthful (Siddiq)."
Hazrat Ali (a.s.) often told Hazrat Qambar
that,
”May I give you a glad tiding which you
may then spread to others that, By Allah (s.w.t.) when the Holy Prophet
departed from this world he was displeased with everyone from his
Ummat except the Shias.
Take heed that for every thing there is an
authenticity and honour and , Shias are the authenticity and honour of
religion.
Take heed that for every thing
there is a leader, and the leader of the all the gatherings is the
gatherings of Shias, and for every thing there is a chief and the chief
of the land is that land wherein Shias dwell, and every thing has a desire and
the desire of the world is that it is inhabited by Shias.
By Allah (s.w.t.), if anybody of you had not
been on this earth then your enemies would never have enjoyed its benefits and
they will not benefit in the hearafter and our enemies how much so
ever he prays and how much so ever he tries will always desrve the verse “
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ () toiling [under burdens
of sin], worn out [by fear], (88:3)
تَصْلَى نَارًا حَامِيَةً about to
enter a glowing fire, (88:4)
And if your enemy asks Allah (s.w.t.) for
something against you, Allah (s.w.t.) will accept his dua but in your favor.
And whosoever amongst you asks from Allah
(s.w.t.) for one of his wishes Allah (s.w.t.) will fulfill his 100 wishes and
whosoever does a good deed it will be recorded infinite no of times. And if a
Shia does something wrong then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) becomes his
saviour from its after effects.
By Allah (s.w.t.) those amongst you who fast do
hold elevated positions in the gardens of paradise and the angels will pray for
their success till Iftar. And those amongst you who do hajj and umrah will be
amongst the closest people of Allah (s.w.t.).
You all are entitled to the call of Allah
(s.w.t.) (for the feast) and his mastership. You will not be frightened or
sorrowful of anything and you all would be in Paradise. Compete with each
other in doing good deeds.
By Allah (s.w.t.) (after us) no one would be
more nearer to the Throne of Allah (s.w.t.) than our Shias. Allah
(s.w.t.) has been very curtious to them. If there would have been no fear
of your laziness and the enemies taunting you and people considering it to be
too great then definitely the angels would have come in the open to salute you.
Amirul Momeneen (a.s.) then said that those who
love us and accept our mastership will not be frightened or sorrowful of
anything when they rise from the graves though others would be terrified and
sorrowful.”
