[36] ” عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ إِلَى مَا تَدْعُو يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ‏ أَدْعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلى‏ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي‏- وَ أَدْعُوكَ إِلَى مَنْ إِنْ أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ فَدَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ وَ إِنِ اسْتَعَنْتَ بِهِ وَ أَنْتَ مَقْهُورٌ أَعَانَكَ وَ إِنْ سَأَلْتَهُ وَ أَنْتَ مُقِلٌّ أَغْنَاكَ وَ إِنْ ضَلَلْتَ فِي فَلَاةِ الْأَرْضِ أَرْشَدَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَوْصِنِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ لَا تَغْضَبْ قَالَ زِدْنِي قَالَ ارْضَ مِنَ النَّاسِ بِمَا تَرْضَى لَهُمْ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ زِدْنِي قَالَ لَا تَسُبَّ النَّاسَ فَتَكْتَسِبَ الْعَدَاوَةَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ زِدْنِي قَالَ لَا تَزْهَدْ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ قَالَ زِدْنِي قَالَ تَحَبَّبْ إِلَى النَّاسِ يُحِبُّوكَ وَ إِنِ اسْتَسْقَى أَخُوكَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فَصُبَّ لَهُ وَ الْقَ أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ مُنْبَسِطٍ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا تَضْجَرْ فَيَمْنَعَكَ الضَّجَرُ مِنْ حَظِّكَ لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ ابرز [اتَّزِرْ] إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ إِسْبَالَ الأزرار [الْإِزَارِ] فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَ اللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْخُيَلَاءَ.

Abu Basir narrated that Imam Baqir -asws said: “A man went to see the Rasool Allah -saww and said: O’ Muhammad! What do you invite the people to?” Rasool Allah -saww said: “My -saww followers and I -saww knowingly invite the people to Allah -azwj .

I -saww invite you to One -azwj who will Remove your difficulties from you when you call Him -azwj during times of hardship, or sorrow; One -azwj who will Provide for your needs when you get poor, and will Guide you safely out of the desert should you get lost there.” The man said: O’ Muhammad -saww ! Please give me some advice.” The Rasool Allah saw said: “Do not get angry.” He asked for more advice. Rasool Allah -saww said: “Like for others what you like for yourself.” He asked for more advice.

Rasool Allah -saww said: “Do not swear at people, since then they will become your enemies.” He asked for more advice. Rasool Allah -saww said: “Do not abandon doing good deeds for those who need you.” He asked for more advice. Rasool Allah -saww said: “Love the people so that they love you. Serve some water for your brethren to drink. Treat them with kindness and good temper. Do not be impatient since then you will lose this world and the Hereafter.
