Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al Kafi (volume 4)(part 3) Chapter 103 : the Commands of the Holy Prophet To Wish Well For the Imams of Muslims, Remain Close With Their Group and As To Who They Are H , Ch. 103, H 1 A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Aban ibnn 'Uthman from ibn abu Ya'fur from abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following.

"The the Messenger of Allah addressed people in the mosque of Khif and said, "May Allah grant joy and happiness to those of His servants that on hearing my words understand them, memorize them preach them to those who have not heard them. There can be many scholars of Fiqh (law) who do not have understanding as there can be many bearers of Fiqh (law) to those who are better scholars of Fiqh (law) then the bearer.

There are three things in which the heart of a Muslim does not feel greed and treachery. Sincerity in deeds for Allah, wishing well for the leaders of the Muslims and to stay close with the group of the Muslims because their prayer encompass them from behind them and the Muslims are each other's brothers.

Their lives are as each other's lives and the least important among them strive to fulfill their responsibilities." Hammad ibn 'Uthman from Aban from ibn abu Ya'fur has narrated a similar hadith with an addition of "They are as one hand to face their enemies". In his Hadith he has mentioned that the Holy Prophet (s.a) made his speech during his farewell pilgrimage in the mosque of Khif. H , Ch.

Sufyan said to him, "O abu 'Abdallah narrate to us the text of the sermon of the Messenger of Allah in the Mosque of al-Khif." He said, "allow me to go for my needs because I am already on the horse back and when I will return then I will narrate to the text of the sermon." He said, "I swear you to your close relation to the Messenger of Allah, you must narrate the sermon first." The narrator has said that the Imam (a.s.) dismounted his horse.
