Al-Arbal: relates that the Caliph once sent to Imam al-H"d: (a.s.) 30,000 silver coins. He gifted them to a Bedouin Arab from Kufa saying: ‘Pay off your debts with this and spend the rest on your family and dependents and excuse me [for not giving you more].’ The man said: ‘O son of the Messenger of Alla>h, I didn’t ever hope for even a third of this amount but Alla>h knows well where he places his mission.’ Then he took the money and left.281 Hadith from Imam Had i (A) ‘Better than the good-deed is he who performs it.
More striking than the beautiful words is he who says them. More worthy than knowledge is he who conveys it. More evil than evil is he who causes it. More frightening than fear is he who brings it.’ ‘Allah cannot be defined except with what he has defined himself.
How can He be defined when wits are unable to perceive Him, imaginations fail to reach Him, minds cannot explain Him, and the visions cannot encompass Him?’ ‘When justice is dominant, one may not suspect another unless he is sure of his suspicion about him, and when injustice is dominant, one should not assume good thing about another unless he is sure of it.’ ‘Jealousy erodes the good deeds and brings about the bad fortunes.’ ‘Beware of jealousy for it will work against you and will have no effect on your foe.’ ‘Indeed, both the scholar and the student share in prosperity.’ ‘Allah has made the world a place of calamity and the hereafter a place of outcome.
He has set the calamities of the world to be the cause of the reward of the hereafter, and has made the reward of the hereafter a substitute for the calamities of the world.’ ‘Self-conceit restrains (one) from seeking knowledge and brings about scorn and ignorance.’ What others have said about Imam Ali al-Hadi Al-Junayd: said: ‘I swear by Almighty Alla>h that he is the best of the people of the earth and the most virtuous of Alla>h’s creation.’ The physician Yazd"d said: ‘If any created being knows the unseen then he does.’282 Al-Y"fi!: said: ‘He was a devoted worshipper of Alla>h, a learned jurist and an Imam.’ Ibn .ajar al-Haytham: said: ‘He was heir to his father’s knowledge and magnanimity.’283 Ibn al-!Im"d al-.anbal: said: ‘He was a learned jurist, an Imam, and a devoted worshipper.’284 Al-Shibr"w: al-Sh"fi!: said: ‘He had many charisms (kar"m"t).’285 The Eleventh Imam He is Imam .asan al-!Askar: (a.s.) son of Imam Mu9ammad al- H"d: (a.s.).
