[39] Those Whose Prayers are Not Answered...

[39] Those Whose Prayers are Not Answered: Imam Abu Abdullah -azwj said the prayers of these four are not answered: 1) the one who sits at home and expect Allah -azwj will give him sustenance, Allah -azwj says, ‘didn’t I ask you to go out in the search of sustenance’, 2) the one who would ask for the destruction of his wife, Allah -azwj says Didnt I give you the right to divorce her, 3) the one who would spend his resources in inappropriate way and ask Allah -azwj for sustenance, he would be told by Allah -azwj , didn’t I asked you to observe moderation and correct your ways, 4) the one who has given out loan without a witness, he will be told by Allah -azwj didn’t I asked you to arrange for a witness.

[40] Praying for the Destruction Ahlul Bait -asws ’s Enemies: Younis bin Amar says, ‘I told Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws , during Hajj time, about my neighbour who was from Qurash family ‘Alay Mohraz’ who always tries to talk ill about me, would like to tease me and whenever I pass near him, he would say, this man is ‘Rafazi’ who informs Jafar bin Mohammed -asws about his all affairs.

Imam -asws replied ask for Allah -azwj ’s wrath on that man, Imam -asws taught me, ‘when you are in the last prostration ‘Sajjadah’, after reciting first two parts ‘Rakat’, then say the following after praising Allah -azwj : Ya Allah -azwj , that son of such has made me infamous and has troubled me and has annoyed me and has tried to embroiled me into troubles.

Ya Allah -azwj , inflict him with your wrath so that his attentions are turned away from me, bring death closer to him, and take away his influence and authority and please do it to him in haste. When I came back to my home in Kufa, I asked about him from my family, they told me he is very ill, while they have not finished telling me, we heard loud screams and crying sounds from his house and some told me he has passed away.

[41] Mubahila Against Enemies of Ahlul Bait- asws : Abu Masruk said to Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws that we present Quranic Verses to our opponents (in beliefs) to prove they are on the unjust path.
