dead in the graves and inquires what they regret for today when they have
vividly seen (and known) this (the next life). Then the dead will say:
"Verily, we regret and envy the believers who are in their mosques and
they are praying while we are not; they give alms and we do not; they fast
during Ramadan but we do not; they donate in charity what they have more than
the need of their family members while we do not; ..."

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Be careful of the prayers, for, on the Day of Resurrection,

will be of the people of salvation; otherwise, he will be thrown into
Fire."

the one whom other believers trust with their souls and wealth. Shall I not
introduce 'a Muslim' to you? A Muslim is the one from whose hand and tongue

against another believer, or leave him/her in a lurch, or backbite against
him/her, or suddenly reject him/her."

virtue of worship."

much gold as the height of Abu Qubais Mount which he would distribute in the
way of Allah."
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol.1, p.184
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The virtue of knowledge is more beloved with Allah than the
virtue of worship."
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 1, p. 167

only to Allah and, then, repent.)
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 77, p. 63
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "During the third part of every night and on the night
before Friday from the beginning (until the break of dawn) Allah sends an angel
unto the sky of the earth in order to call: 'Is there any needy who asks that I

him? Is there any seeker of forgiveness that I may forgive him?'"
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 3, p. 314

owner."

it by his heart."

than anything else." (Because most of our sins are committed by it, such
as backbiting, telling lies, defaming, mocking, insulting, etc.)

his lusts, and his tongue."

than leprosy does against his body."

Almighty and Glorious, than the performance of ten thousand rak'at of
recommended prayers."

'Anas-ibn-Mlaik narrates from Hazrat Muhammad (S) who said:

owner, it (the thing being given) says five things: 'At first I was perishing
and you gave me life; I was insignificant and you made me great; I was an enemy
and you turned me into a friend; you used to protect me then but now I will
protect you up to the Day of Resurrection'."
Al-Ithna 'Ashariyyah, p.223
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "My community will continue to live fairly while they are

Wasa'il-ush Shia'ah, vol. 6, p.13

It is narrated from Hazrat Muhammad (S) who said:
"When I ascended to the sky, I
saw three lines written on the door of Heaven:
The first line: In the Name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful; I am Allah and there is no god save Me that My
Grace preceeds My wrath.
The second line: In the Name of Allah,
the Beneficent the Merciful; charity is repaid ten times and loan eighteen
times, and regard for kinship thirty times.
The third line: He who understands My
Rank and My Lordship should never accuse Me regarding sustenance."

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Yes, the reward of a woman during her pregnancy until
childbirth, and unto when she weans the child, is like that of a stationed
(soldier guarding the Muslims' borders against the attack of pagan enemies) for
the sake of Allah. So, if she dies during that, she will have the rank of a
martyr."
Man La Yahduruhul Faqih, vol. 3, p. 561
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "When a woman conceives with child she will be as a warrior
who fasts during the day and keeps vigil at nights praying, and strives with
his soul and wealth on the way of Allah. Then, when she delivers, there will be
for her such a great reward with Allah that she does not know how magnificent
it is. Thereafter, when she suckles (the child), she will have as much reward
as freeing a child from Ismail's descendants for every suck. And, when she
brings suckling the child to an end, an angel beside her tells her to begin the
action again for she has surely been forgiven."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 103, p. 221

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Verily, maidens are like fruits of a tree; when its fruits
ripen and are not reaped, sunshine ruins them and the wind scatters them.
Maidens are in the same situation. When they comprehend what the women
perceive, there is no remedy for them save a husband. If they are not given in
marriage, they will not be secured from corruption, because they are human
beings, too. (They have the same human instincts and temperament as
others)."
Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 337
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Any young man who marries at the beginning of his youth,

expenditure is easier."

Hazrat Muhammad (S) with no regard to the class of the one's generation, emphasized
and said: "When someone refers to you for marriage and you approve

earth."

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "He who marries a woman only for her beauty (regardless of
her Faith), he will not see (gain) what he likes; and he who marries a woman
only for her wealth, Allah will leave him with that wealth only. Therefore, it
is to you that you look for a religious wife."
Al-Tahthib, vol. 7, p.399
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: He who marries a woman for her wealth, Allah will leave him only
with that; and he who marries a woman (only) for her beauty, he will see in her

gather those merits for him."

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "He who has two wives and does not treat justly in dividing

while he is chained in punishment and half of his body is not straight until he
enters Hell."
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 7, p. 214

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Allah, Almighty and Glorious, has said: 'Had I willed to
gather the good of this world and the next for a Muslim believer, I would set
for the one a humble heart, a thankful tongue, and a body patient in
afflictions. (To a man I would give) a pious wife whom when he looks at he is
delighted and who (she) protects herself and his properties for him when he is
away from her."
Usul
al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 327
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Verily your best woman is she who is fertile, affectionate,
keeps secrets, and is pious. She obeys her husband and is honorably dear among
her kinsmen. When she is with her husband, she reveals her ornaments but
conceals it from anyone other than him. She hearkens to his speech and obeys
his commands. When she is in private, she dresses herself beautifully and is
eager to offer him generously whatever he wants from her. She is usually
ornamented (for him) and is not plain as men are."
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 103, p. 235
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "From the prosperity of a Muslim man is that he has a pious
wife, a large (comfortable) house, a pleasant mount, and a righteous
child."

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The Jihad (fighting in the way of Allah) of a woman is to
afford pleasant company to her husband and the right of her husband over her is
the greatest right of all people over her."

ush Shiah, vol. 22, p. 9
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Certainly, Allah, Almighty and Glorious, dislikes or curses
any man or woman whose intention of divorce or marriage is merely tasting the
pleasure of it."
The Holy Prophet (S) repeated this
statement three times to emphasize that any man who divorces his wife for a new
marriage and tasting the pleasure of the new wed, as well as if any woman who
demands her divorce for the same purpose and marries another man, is involved
in the curse of Allah.
Al-Kafi, vol. 6, p. 54
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The lady from the women of my Ummah who safely observes

establishes her five cardinal prayers, and fasts in the month of Ramadan."

vol. 104, p. 107

"O' people, do not commit

will reap." (The same as you do will be done to you).

briefness in speech, short (length) of sleep, and small (portion) of food;
while there are three traits which He dislikes (in them): loquaciousness,
oversleeping, and overeating."
Al Ithna'Ashariyyah, p. 92
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Try to be clean as much as you are able to. Verily, Allah
has based the foundation of Islam on cleanliness; hence, never can a person
enter Paradise but the clean ones."
Kanz-ul-'Ummal,
Tradition 26002
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "He who purchases the food stuff which is a public necessity
and stores it for forty days with the hope that its price will go up in the
Muslim market, then, sells it and gives the entire sum as charity to the poor,
it cannot be the atonement for what he has done."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 103, p. 89

his heart, has slept in the wrath of Allah and remains in that case until he
repents."
Safinat-ul-Bihar, vol. 2, p. 318
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: " ...And he who deceives his Muslim brother, Allah takes
away the abundance of his sustenance and spoils his livelihood and leaves him
to his own self."

Shi'ah, vol. 17, p. 283
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The person who deceives a Muslim believer in buying or
selling (things), is not of us, and, on the Resurrection Day, will be raised
among the Jews, because they have been the most deceitful against
Muslims."

vol. 2, p. 79

The
Collection of Waram
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "At the moment when the coffin of a person is being lifted
and carried, the concerning soul follows its corpse and regretfully calls: 'O
you my children and my relatives! Beware that the world does not cheat you as
it did me. I gathered wealth regardless of it being lawful or unlawful and left
all of it for others. Now I am left with its burden upon me while they enjoy
the fruit of it; therefore, avoid that which is similar to what happened to
me'."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 6, p. 161
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "None passes a graveyard except that the dead call out to
him: 'O you neglectful person! Were you aware of what we have been made aware
of, it would make your blood run cold'."
Irshad-ul-Qulub
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "If your rulers are the good doers of you, rich ones are
from the gracious ones of you, and your affairs go on through consultation
among you, then (living) on the earth is better for you than (being) under it.
But, if your rulers are the wicked ones of you, your rich ones from the misers
of you, and your affairs go on without consultation among you, then (being)
under the ground is better for you than (living) on it."
Manhaj-us-Sadiqeen,
commentary, vol. 2, p. 373
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "No believer will become wretched by consultation, and none
will gain merit through stubbornness."

person, (fighting against the enemies of Islam who slaughter Muslims), is

above it."

vol. 10, p. 100

in the skies and on the earth gather to kill a (sinless) believer or be
persuaded to it, Allah will surely put them all in the Fire."

(‘a)."
Sunan Abu Dawud, vol. 4, p. 107
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Happiness is for the one who will attend the Qaim of my
Ahlul Bayt and will follow him before his rise. This person will love his
(Qaim's) lovers and hate his enemies, and will accept the leadership of the
Imams from before his advent. These ones are my friends, and are the most
sincere members of my Ummah whom I honor very much."
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 52, p. 129
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Allah will raise a man from my progeny, from my Ahlul Bayt,
by whom the earth will be filled with justice thoroughly the same as it has

Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The person who dies and has not known the Imam of his time
(Imam Mahdi (‘a) is that of the present time) has died the same as one who died
during the Age of Ignorance."

vol. 4, p. 96: Sahih-i-Bukhari, vol.
5, p. 13 & Sahih-i-Muslim vol. 6, p. 21, No.1849. In addition
to 25 other references introduced by Sunni scholars.
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "There will come a time for people that: they will not
respect their scholars except for their good clothing; they will not hearken to
the Qur'an except for the pleasant voice; and they will not worship Allah
except for during the fasting month; there will be no shyness in their women,
no patience in their poor ones; and no prosperity for their rich ones, they
will not be contented with a small (portion), and they will not be satiated
with abundance. They will strive (only) for their stomach; their religion is
their money (wealth); their women are their Qiblah (direction of worship); and
their homes are their mosques; they run away from their scholars just as lambs
run away from wolves. Then, when they become like that, the Lord will afflict them
with three conditions. At first, He takes the prosperity from their properties.
The second is that a cruel ruler will dominate them. The third is that they
will pass away from this world without having (true) Faith."
Waqayi'-ul-'Ayyam, p. 439
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "There will come a time for my Ummah when their rulers will
be cruel, their scholars will be greedy and have little piety, their
worshippers (will act) hypocritically, their merchants will commit usury and
conceal the defects of their buying and selling and their women will be busy
with the ornaments of the world. Hence, at this time, the most vicious of them
will dominate over them, and their good doers will invocate but they will not
be answered."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 23, p. 22
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "There will come a time for my Ummah when they will love
five things while neglecting five others:
1.
They will
love this world and neglect the next world.
2.
They will
love wealth and forget (the Day of) Reckoning.
3.
They
(their men) will love (corruptive) women and forget the houries.
4.
They will
love buildings and forget the graves.
5.
And, they
will love (their) selves and forget the Lord. Those (such people) dislike me
and I, too, dislike them."
Al-Ithna
'Ashariyyah, p. 202
Hazrat Muhammad (S) told Abu Dharr: "Take advantage of five opportunities
before five other things: Your youth before your senescence, your health before
your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your leisure before your haste,
and your life before your death."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 77, p. 77
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Fie upon that Muslim who does not allocate (at least) one
day a week to the study of the details of his religion and to explore (the
affairs) of his religion."
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 1, p. 176
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "He who studies the religion of Allah, He is sufficient to
remove his grief and provides him with sustenance from whence he could never
imagine."
Mahajjat-ul
Bayda vol. 1, p.15
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The one amongst my Ummah who memorizes forty traditions
from among those which people need for their religious life (to propagate and
instruct), Allah will raise him from the dead as a jurist on the Day of
Resurrection."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 2, p. 153
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Verily, a servant can gain the rank of him who both fasts
during the day and keeps vigil at night, keeping up prayers, through his good
disposition."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 71, p. 373

vol. 2, p. 302

people whatever you wish for yourself."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 75, p. 27
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "Verily, when one of His servants establishes a prayer in
congregation and asks Him something which He does not grant, Allah will be
ashamed until He fulfils it."
Bihar-ul-Anwar,
vol. 88, p. 4
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "One prayer of a man in congregation is worthier than his
forty years of prayers at home (alone)."
Mustadrak-ul-Wasa'il, vol. 6, p. 446
Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: "The rows of my followers in the congregational prayer on
the earth are like the rows of angels in the sky; and a rak'at of prayer in
congregation is equivalent with twenty-four rak'ats, and every rak'at with
Allah, Almighty and Glorious, is more beloved than forty years of worship.
Therefore, on the Day of Justice, when Allah gathers all human beings from the
beginning to the end for Reckoning, there will be no believer who has attended
the congregational prayer but for whom Allah will decrease the grievousness of
the Day of Reckoning and after that the one will be told to enter Heaven.
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 88, p. 6
Once a blind man came to Hazrat Muhammad (S) and said that there
was not anybody to take him to the mosque to attend the congregational prayer
with him (S) when he heard the prayer call. Then Hazrat Muhammad (S) said: Stretch a thread from your house unto the
mosque and attend the congregational prayer."
