Hadith's from Imamain

[Al-Noor]

Imam `Ali ar-Rida [a] said,
“The first person for whom beer was prepared in Islam in Syria was Yazid b. Mu`awiya [l]. He was sitting at a table spread with the head of al-Husayn [a] when they brought him beer.
He drank it and had his companions drink from it, saying, ‘Drink it, for this is a blessed drink. If it were not blessed, we would not have been the first ones to drink it with the head of our enemy in front of us, eating at our table spread with quiet of mind and peace at heart.’
Whoever is a follower (Shi`a) of us should abstain from drinking beer because it is the drink of our enemies. Whoever does not abstain is not one of our followers.
My forefathers narrate from `Ali b. Abi Talib [a] that the Messenger of Allah [s] said, ‘Do not follow what our enemies follow. Should you do so, you are one of our enemies just as they are.’”

Imam as-Sadiq [a] said,
"When what happened to al-Husayn [a] had happened, the angels echoed in their cries to Allah, and said: 'How could this happen to al-Husayn, your elite and the son of your Prophet?' So Allah raised the shadow of the Qa’im for them and said: 'By him I will seek vengeance for this'".

[Al-Noor]

Muhammad al-Baqir said: On the Day of Resurrection, a pavilion of fire will be made in which the supporters of the oppressors will be put, and nails of iron will be made for them scratching with it beginning with their hearts. So they will say: Our Lord, did we not worship You? He said: So He will say: Yea, however you were supporters for the oppressors.

[Al-Noor]

Allah said to the Prophet Muhammad [s],
"O Ahmad, despise the world and those who live for it, and love the hereafter and those who live for it."
The Prophet said, “My Lord! Who are the people who live for the world and who are the people who live for the hereafter?”
Allah replied, “The one who lives for this world is he who is excessive in his eating, his merriment, his sleep and his anger. He is seldom content, if he wrongs someone, he does not seek their forgiveness and he does not accept the contrition of one who apologizes to him. During worship he is sluggish while at moments of disobedience he is vigorous. His aspirations are long while his death is near. He does not evaluate his soul. He is of little benefit to others. He talks a lot. He fears (God) less. He takes inordinate delight in food. Verily those who live for the world are not thankful when they are in ease and not patient when they are in difficulty.
They belittle the merits of others. They take credit for actions that they have not done and they make claims that they do not deserve. They speak on impulse and whim. They recount the faults of others and they conceal their virtues."
So the Prophet asked, “My Lord! Are there any other faults besides all these found in those who live for the world?”
Allah replied, “O Ahmad, the faults of those who live for this world are many. There are amongst them those who are ignorant, foolish and disrespectful of the scholars amongst them. They consider themselves to be intellectuals, while those who have true knowledge know them to be fools."
Then, Allah said, "O Ahmad! [As for] the righteous people, those who live for the hereafter, their faces are gentle, they are modest and are not imprudent. Their benefit is great and their plotting little. The people are safe from them even while they themselves are in difficulty.Their speech is measured. They evaluate their souls and they care careful about it. Their eyes sleep but their hearts are awake.Their eyes shed tears and their hearts are in constant remembrance of God. While others will be counted amongst the negligent ones, they will be counted amongst those who remember God. When they begin to partake of God’s blessing they praise Him and when they finish, they thank Him. God accepts their supplications and He listens to their speech. They are a source of delight for the angels. Their supplications pierce the highest veils of light. God likes to listen to their words the way a mother likes to hear her child. Nothing would distract them from God, even for an instant. They are not extravagant in eating or speech or clothes. They consider the people around them as dead and God as ever Alive, the all-Sustainer and the Compassionate. They call those who turn away from them with magnanimity and seek those who approach them with compassion. The world and the hereafter seem as one to them. While other people die only once, these die seventy times everyday from their constant struggle against their nafs, and combating their desires and the Shaitan who flows in their veins. A gentle wind could move them [due to their frail constitution], however, when they stand before Me they are like a compact structure, I do not see in their hearts the least attachment to other people.
I swear by My might and honour, I will enliven them with the purest life. When their souls are to be separated from their bodies, I will not send to them the angel of death, and I will not allow anyone else to take their soul except Me, and I will open for their souls all the doors of the heavens, and I will lift all the veils from them, and I will command the paradise to adorn itself for them, and the heavenly escorts to rush to them, and the angels to bless them and the trees to provide fruit for them, and the fruit of heaven to be shown to them. And I will command a breeze from the breezes that blow under the throne (arsh) to transport mountains of camphor and scented musk and they will be illuminated without fire, and they will be entered into these (mountains) and there will not be a veil between Me and his soul, and I will say when I take his soul, “Congratulations and welcome to My presence. Ascend by bounties, glad tidings, mercy and contentment.” And gardens in which there will be everlasting bounties for them, they will abide in them for ever, Indeed, with God is a great reward.
If you were to see how the angels receive them from each other! O Ahmad! The people who live for the hereafter have not cared for food after they came to know their Lord, and afflictions do not affect them after they realized their sins, they weep at their mistakes, and they drive their souls and do not give them rest. Indeed, the rest for the people of paradise is in death, and the hereafter is the retreat of the true worshippers (ābidīn), their intimate company is the tears that flow on their cheeks, they sit with the angels who flank them on their right and left, their conversations are with the Mighty One who is above the throne (arsh).
Indeed, the hearts of the people of the hereafter are aggrieved in their breast. They ask, “When will we be relieved by travelling from the temporal abode to the eternal abode.”"

(Bihar al-Anwar)

[SBM]

Allah said to the Prophet Muhammad [s],
"O Ahmad, despise the world and those who live for it, and love the hereafter and those who live for it."

My question
If Allaha really despise the world why would he create it? Any if the world has to be despised why people pray for long life and better health
should not they ask for quick death and shorter life.
A lot of Prophets in Islam had a very very long life on this earth.

[Al-Noor]

A man entered the house of Imam as-Sadiq [a], and he was praying. At the end of his prayer, the Imam [a] supplicated to his Lord:
O He who has favoured us with honour, and promised us intercession, and made us carry the Message, and made us the inheritors of the prophets, and made us a seal of the previous nations, and has favored us with successorship, and gave us knowledge of what has past and forthcoming, and made the hearts of the people yearn for us (Ahl al-Bayt).
Forgive me and my brothers and the visitors of the grave of Abi Abdillah al-Husayn b. ‘Ali [a], and who spends out of their wealth [for our cause]. Forgive those those who ready their bodies in doing good to us for their hope in what is with You of compensation for keeping good relations with us, and for the happiness they bring to your Prophet Muhammad [s], and for obeying our commands, and for the anger they bring upon our enemies. So, compensate them on our behalf by being content with them, and support them in the night and day, and support their families and children whom they have left behind, with the best support. Accompany them and protect them against the evil of every hostile tyrant - weak ones of your creation or strong ones - and against the evil of the devils of humanity and jinn. Grant them the best, which they are to receive from You for being in strange places away from their homelands, and for the preference they give us over their own children, families and relatives.
O Allah, our enemies mock at them for their visiting us, but that did not stop them from coming to us, and they went against those who are against us. So, have mercy on those faces which have been changed by the Sun. And have mercy upon those cheeks which have rolled over the grave of Abi ‘Abdillah al-Husayn [a], have mercy on those eyes which have shed tears in compassion for us, have mercy on those hearts which have become restless and anguished for us, and have mercy on those who cry heavily for us.

[Al-Noor]

An old man with a crunched back approach Imam Ja`far b. Muhammad [a] while he was sitting, and the old man said, "May the peace and blessings of God be upon you."
The Imam [a] said, "And may the peace and blessings of God be with you, O old man, come to me."
The old man then came to him [a] and kissed his hand and cried. So the Imam said, "O old man, why are you crying?"
The old man said, "O son of the Messenger of God, I have been longing to be with you for 100 years. I said to myself: ‘This is the year, this is the month, this is the day’, and I did not see you. And you censure me from crying?"
Imam Ja`far began to cry, and then said, "O old man, you will be with us. And that you will hurry to be with the weight (thaqal) of the Messenger of God [s] on the Day of Resurrection."
The old man said, "I will take heed and after today I will not cry, O son of the Messenger of God."
The Imam [a] said, "The Messenger of Allah [s] said: 'Verily, I am leaving with you two weight things (thaqalayn), and if you hold on to them you will never go astray: The Book of Allah revealed, and my progeny, the Ahl Al-Bayt.' I will come and you will be with us on the Day of Resurrection."
The Imam then said, "O old man, I don't think that you are from Kufa."
The old man said, "No."
The Imam [a] said, "Then where are you from?"
The old man said, "May I be your sacrifice: I am from Sawaduha."
The Imam [a] said, "Where are you situated in comparison to my oppressed grandfather’s grave, Husayn?"
The old man said, "I live nearby."
The Imam [a] said, "How often do you go to him?"
The old man said, "I go frequently."
Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq said, "O old man, God will seek vengeance for his blood. There is no calamity for the descendents of Fatima like the calamity of Husayn. And 17 members of his Ahl al-Bayt were killed. They have patiently strove in the way of God. And He has rewarded them, the patient ones, the best of rewards. And when the Day of Resurrection comes, the Messenger of Allah [s] will come to Husayn [a] and his [s] hand will be on his [a] head, dripping with blood. Then, the Prophet [s] will ask, "O Lord! Ask my Nation: Why did you kill my son?!"
Imam as-Sadiq [a] said, "All sadness and crying is disliked [in Islam] except the sadness and crying upon Husayn".

Ja`far as-Sadiq [a] said to a man, "Do you sit together and speak [about us]?"
The man said, "May I be your sacrifice! Yes."
The Imam [a] said, "I love your gatherings. Keep our religion alive. May Allah have mercy on those who keep our religion alive. Allah will forgive the sins of those who mention us, listen to us, and cry for us [with a tear] even as small as the wing of a fly - even if their sins are greater than the foam in the seas."
حدثني محمد بن الحسن عن محمد بن الحسن الصفار قال حدثني أحمد ابن إسحاق بن سعيد عن بكر بن محمد الأزدي عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال:تجلسون وتتحدثون، قال: قلت جعلت فداك نعم قال إن تلك المجالس أحبها فأحبوا أمرنا انه من ذكرنا وذكرنا عنده فخرج من عينه مثل جناح الذبابة غفر الله ذنوبه ولو كانت أكثر من زبد البحر.
(Thawab al-A`maal)

[anajmi]

Another fake hadith from Al-(Ig)noor(ant). This religion isn't "our" religion meaning this religion doesn't belong to anyone. It belongs to everyone but above all it is Allah's religion. Forgiveness of sins is only associated with the mercy of Allah and not tears after rowa jiva moh for these Imams and Dais. Stop promoting idol worship!!

MOVEMENT OF IMAM HUSSAIN (AS)

The movement of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), has taught us many lessons – both on an individual and personal level and also on a societal level – some of which include:

1. PERSONAL & INDIVIDUAL :

i. Spirit of monotheism (Tawheed) and the spirit of connection to Allah;

ii. Servitude to Allah;

iii. Turning away from personal desires and the allures of this world;

iv. Submission to the will and pleasure of Allah;

v. Requirement of studying and knowing all of the Divinely taught values and worth of the human being;

vi. Bravery and chivalry;

vii. Standing firm in the face of difficulties and tribulations;

viii. The spiritual worth of the human being;

ix. Forgiveness and clemency;

x. Not being afraid of death or martyrdom – rather, to accept these wholeheartedly;

2. COMMUNAL & SOCIETAL :

i. Self-sacrifice and thinking of others before oneself;

ii. Loyalty;

iii. Equality of humanity and removal of all forms of discrimination;

iv. Importance of being political aware and active;

v. Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil;

vi. Realizing that the truth does not lie in ‘numbers’;

vii. Standing up to oppression and tyranny and not following the wicked;

viii. Understanding that “politics” is not separate from “religion,” and that “social struggle” and “spiritual action” are one and the same.

These lessons mentioned above are but a drop in the unlimited ocean of the noble Divine teachings which were embodied in the message of the Prophets and their safeguarding at the hands of all of the Imams – specifically Imam Hussain (peace be upon all of them).

When it becomes difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood, a dalil from Allah arrives which makes every thing clear. now time is near when such dalil (proof) will arrive and falsehood will vanish.

Yazid(L) of our times are changed so does the Hussain (S) but yet the concept still remains the same.

[Al-Noor]

When he was in Mecca, Imam al-Husayn [a] wrote to his brother Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya. He said the following:
"In the name of Allah the Beneficient the Merciful: From al-Husayn b. Ali to Muhammad b. Ali and those who are with him from the Children of Hashim [in Medina]. Verily, one who joins me will be martyred, and one who does not join me will not attain the Victory. Peace."

Is it so difficult to understand that Islam is NOT Grave/Dead/Mortal Worship?? And why Islam, no religion, no law, no principle will teach this; this is totally against all the logic and reason ......... what would you achieve by this? If you believe Allah is there and HE does what He pleases than why not only seek His help and guidance?? Yes, people matter, events count, but these are 'lessons', these are 'teachers', these are a means to an end, not the end in themselves. Allah is start and Allah is end; it has been Allah, it is Allah and it will be Allah, simple, nothing else lasts ............ if you learn to bow to Him only you will never ever need to bow to anybody! Thank Him only for what He has bestowed upon you!

so who is bothering you? of course Islam is all about worshiping one god and respecting his prophet and his family. iblees prayed hard for 40000 years but 10 seconds of his ego made him cursed....follow Quran and prophet and the guided ones to be successful and obey what they preach. Allah emphasis on prayers too much yet he never explained how many rakat should be prayed and how, this was just to show that come and learn from the prophet and follow what he says and preach.

It is narrated, "Whenever Husayn b. `Ali [a] was mentioned in front of Imam Ja`far b. Muhammad, he would not be seen smiling on that day till nightfall."

The Prophet Muhammad [s] said,
"O Ali, to he who visits me during my lifetime or after my death, or visits you in your lifetime or after your death, or visits your two children in their lifetimes or after their death - I will be sure to save them on the Day of Judgment; save them from the Day’s fury and hardship until they are raised with me at my level."
أبو علي الاشعري، عن محمد بن عبد الجبار، عن محمد بن سنان، عن محمد بن علي رفعه قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا علي من زارني في حياتي أو بعد موتي أو زارك في حياتك أو بعد موتك أو زار ابنيك في حياتهما أو بعد موتهما ضمنت له يوم القيامة أن اخلصه من أهوالها وشدائدها حتى اصيره معي في درجتي.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir [a] said,
"The closest of people to Allah, the most knowledgeable about Him and the most kind to the people are Muhammad [s] and the Imams [a], so enter where they enter and disassociate from whom they disassociate with. It denotes Husayn and his descendants, as the truth is with them and they are the successors; the Imams [a] are amongst them. So wherever you see them follow them, and when the day comes when you no longer see one from them, beseech Allah and remain on the sunna you are upon. Love those whom you love and hate those whom you hate, for what comes to you of the relief will not be expedited."
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار قال حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى ومحمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب والهيثم بن أبي مسروق النهدي عن الحسن بن محبوب السراد عن علي بن رئاب عن أبي حمزة الثمالي عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال سمعته يقول إن أقرب الناس إلى الله عز وجل وأعلمهم به وأرأفهم بالناس محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم والائمة عليهم السلام فادخلوا أين دخلوا وفارقوا من فارقوا عنى بذلك حسينا وولده عليه السلام فإن الحق فيهم وهم الأوصياء ومنهم الأئمة فأينما رأيتموهم فاتبعوهم وإن أصبحتم يوما لا ترون منهم أحدا فاستغيثوا بالله عز وجل وانظروا السنة التي كنتم عليها واتبعوها وأحبوا من كنتم تحبون وأبغضوا من كنتم تبغضون فما أسرع ما يأتيكم الفرج.

[Al-Noor]

A man asked Imam ar-Rida [a] about the hadith of Imam as-Sadiq [a], "When the Qa’im [a] appears, he will kill the offspring of the murderers of Husayn [a] for the actions of their forefathers."
Imam ar-Rida [a] said, "This is correct."
The man asked, "And [what about] the saying of Allah, '…and no one will bear the burdens of others…' (6:164), what is its meaning?"
The Imam replied, "Allah is Truthful in all that He says. However, the offspring of those who killed Husayn [a] are pleased with the action of their forefathers and are proud of it. Whoever is pleased with something is like the one who had performed that deed. If a man is killed in the East and someone in the West is pleased that he was killed, then he will be considered a partner in that crime in the sight of Allah. When he appears, the Qa’im [a] will kill them for being pleased with the actions of their forefathers."

[anajmi]

The imam is smart enough to cover loopholes in his hadiths.

[anajmi]

so enter where they enter and disassociate from whom they disassociate with.

Considering the fact that the imam has gone into hiding, his followers should go into hiding too.
