Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Adab as-Salat: The Disciplines of the Prayer Second Revised Edition Conclusion Hereunder the translation of some noble narratives are related to complete the advantage and to have the blessings of the sayings of the [Prophet's] pure progeny: The noble al-Kāfī on the authority of Sa'd, quotes Imām al-Bāqir (' a ) to have said: “O Sa'd, learn the Qur'an, for it comes on the Resurrection Day in the best of forms,” then he added to the same effect, saying that it would pass through each rank of the masses of the believers, the martyrs, the prophets and the ranks of the angels, and all of them say: “This is brighter than us,” until the Messenger of Allah ( s ) introduces it… as the hadīth goes.[^1] Imām as-Sādiq (' a ) is quoted to have said: “When Allah, the Exalted, gathers all the first and the last peoples, they suddenly see a person proceeding, having an image the better of which has never been seen before.” ^2 There are many other hadīth s of similar content that prove the sayings of the people of knowledge to the effect that for each being in this world there is a matching image in the Hereafter.

From the hadīth s of this chapter it is deduced that the deeds also have their images in that world. The noble al-Kāfī , on the authority of Imām al-Bāqir (' a ), says: “The Messenger of Allah ( s ) said: “I, the Book of Allah and my progeny will be the first to come to the Almighty, the Omnipotent, then my ummah will come after us.

Then I ask: What did you do with the Book of Allah and my ?”[^3] In another hadīth , the Almighty, the Glorified, says to the Qur'an: “By My Omnipotence and Majesty, and by My High State, I will surely honor him who has honored you, and I will disdain him who has disdained you.”[^4] We must know that if we did not revive the precepts and the teachings of the Qur'an by putting them to practice and understanding their truth, we would not be able to reply the question of Allah's Messenger on that day.

Which disdain is worse than discarding its objectives and neglecting its calls? Honoring the Qur'an and its people, who are the infallible , is not done only by kissing its cover or their holy shrines. This is a weak sign of honoring and respecting, which will only be acceptable if done according to its instructions and their teachings. Otherwise they would be more like scorning and sporting.

Noble hadīth s strongly warn those who recite the Qur'an and then do not practically follow its teachings.
