Sayings of Imam Mohammad Mehdi (AS)
A hadith of eighth Imam Hazrat Ali Bin Moosa Al-Raza (AS) as quoted in
Biharul Anwar Volume 78, says that the intellect of a Muslim does not
mature & complete until he has ten qualities:
1) Benevolence & benefaction be expected & hoped from him
2) And people be secure & peaceful from his evil doing
3) He considers the small amount of benefaction from others as
abundant & plentiful
4) And takes plenty of his own benevolence & goodness to be a meager
amount of it
5) He does not get tired & exhausted by the demands & requirement
asked to be fulfilled
6) He does not get fatigued & restless from seeking knowledge for all
the length of his life
7) He loves poverty more than the plentiful ness & affluence, on the
course of Allah
8) And he loves disgrace & abjectness of the way of Allah more than
the honour on the course of His enemy
9) And anonymity is more liked by him than fame
Then he (A.S) said: "The tenth one & what is the tenth?"
The person asked him (A.S.) "What is that?" Imam (A.S.) reflected, "He
does not see a person but that he says 'He is better & more pious than
myself.'" |
