[17] In a special sermon (speech) on the Holy Rasool Allah -saww and Divine Imams -asws and their qualities , our 6 th Imam -asws said the following: The great sins and people’s bad deeds did not prevent Our Lord -azwj , due to His -azwj Patience, Caring and Kindness, from choosing for the people the best of His Prophets -asws . (Allah -azwj Chose) Prophet Mohammed Ibn ‘Abd Allah -saww , the most respectable one to Him -azwj , and he -saww was sent to a noble family.

The glad news of his -saww coming was mentioned in the Books of the previous Prophets -as and and his -saww qualities were preserved in the memories of the people of wisdom. No person of Hashimite descent (the family tree of the Holy Prophet -saww ) has ever reached the level of his -saww discipline and no person of the inhabitants of ‘Abtah’ (Arab) has ever climbed to his -saww high position.

Self-control (from meaningless matters) was of his -saww attributes and generosity was part of his -saww nature. He -saww was made with the dignity of prophet-hood and its discipline Every nation and every father delivered glad news about him -saww to the next generation. No indecency ever touched him -saww and no illegal relation ever made him unclean. He was in the best group and of most honourable descent, the tribe of glory, in the well-preserved mother and in the best protective hands.

Allah -azwj had Chosen the Holy Prophet -saww as it pleased Him -azwj , Selected him -saww , and Gave him -saww the keys to knowledge and the sources of wisdom. Allah -azwj Raised him -saww as the mercy and blessings for His -azwj servants and as the season of spring for His -azwj lands. Allah -azwj Sent to him -saww the Book in which there is communication and explanations. The Rasool Allah -saww has explained it (the Book) to people.

He -saww has arranged it into a system with the knowledge that explains in detail and a religion in which Allah -azwj has clearly Defined its obligations, determined its limits for the people and has clarified for people (what is expected from them). There are matters that Allah -azwj has Stated to His -azwj servants openly. In it (the Book) there is guidance to salvation and evidence to show the right guidance.

The Rasool Allah -saww has preached the message that he had brought and demanded obedience to what he was ordered to preach and delivered the responsibilities of a Prophet -saww towards his -saww followers.
