We -asws are the custodians of Allah -azwj upon His -azwj creatures, and treasurers upon His -azwj Knowledge. We -asws treasure it, and veil it, and conceal it from our -asws enemies, just as Rasool-Allah -saww had concealed until Allah -azwj Permitted for him -saww regarding the emigration and he -saww fought the Polytheists.

We -asws are upon the manifesto of Rasool-Allah -saww until Allah -azwj Permits for us -asws regarding the manifestation of His -azwj Religion with the sword, and we -asws call the people to it. We -asws will strike them upon it repeating just as Rasool-Allah -saww had struck them in the beginning’’.

[22] ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Beware of craving the desires of yourself to the ones above you and suffice with what Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Rasool-Allah -saww : So do not let their wealth or their children fascinate you [9:55] . And He -azwj Said: And do not extend your eyes towards what We have Provided with spouses from them, being a blossom of the life of the world [20:131] .

So, if you fear anything from that, then remember the life of Rasool-Allah -saww , and it was so that his -asws staple diet was from the barley, and his -saww sweet was from the dates, and his -saww fuel was from foliage leaves when he -saww could find it’’.

[23] (The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Al-Sadiq -asws and Al-Baqir -asws regarding Words of Exalted: Do you not see those who replaced the Favour of Allah for Kufr [14:28] : ‘Favour of Allah -azwj is His -azwj Rasool -saww when he -saww informed his -saww community with the one -asws from the Imams -asws who will be guiding them, and released their people into the abode of perdition? [14:28] .

That is the meaning of the words of the Prophet -saww : ‘Do not be returning after me -saww becoming Kafirs, striking the necks of each other’. And the Religion is built upon following the Prophet -saww : Say (O Rasool): ‘If you love Allah, then follow me. [3:32] , and following the Book: and follow the Light which has descended with him, [7:157] , and following the Imams -asws from his -saww children: and those who followed them with goodness [9:100] .

Thus, following the Prophet -saww would inherit the love, Allah will Love you’ [3:31] , and following the Book would inherit the fortunes, then the one who follows Guidance, he will neither stray nor be wretched [20:123] , and following the Imams -asws would inherit the Paradise’’.
