In the sixth tradition in the above-mentioned chapter, we read that Imam Sadiq said: لا يَرى أَحَدُكُم إذا أدْخَلَ عَلى مُؤمِنٍ سُروراً أنَّهُ عَليهِ أدخَلَهُ فَقَط، بَل واللهِ عَلَينا، بَل وَاللهِ عَلى رَسولِ اللهِ. “When one of you makes a believer happy, you should not think that you have only made him happy. No, I swear by God, you have also made us happy.

No, I swear by God, you have also made God’s Prophet happy.” [^5] Therefore the Prophet and the Immaculate Imams all get happy when they see that their followers are being kind to each other and making each other happy. Making Others Happy Will Save You Sodayr Seyrafi quoted on the authority of Imam Sadiq : “When a believer is resurrected on Judgment Day, he might see someone ahead of him who tells him not to be afraid of what he sees, and gives him glad tidings of happiness from the Lord.

Then that person always accompanies him until the Reckoning. His Reckoning will be an easy one, and he will be told to go to Heaven. That person who always walks ahead of him will still accompany him. Then the believer will ask: “May God have Mercy upon you. You have been walking ahead of me since I was resurrected, and have given me glad tidings of God’s Mercy on me. Now please tell me who you are.” That person will say: “I am the result of your deeds making other believers happy in your life.

God created me out of that happiness to give you glad tidings.”[^6] In this tradition, we see that all our deeds will somehow be manifested in the Hereafter. Imam Sadiq’s Followers are Men of Action Kulayni narrated that Mohammad ibn Jamhoor said: “Najashi was a farmer who was appointed as the governor of the provinces of Ahwaz and Fars. One of his agents went to see Imam Sadiq and said: I owe Najashi a lot of taxes and know that he really likes you. Can you please write a recommendation for me?

Imam Sadiq wrote: “In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Make your brother happy in order to make God happy.” Then the man took the letter and gave it to Najashi. Najashi waited until others left. Then he kissed the letter and asked him what he wanted. The man told Najashi that he had been taxed 10,000 Dirhams. Najashi ordered the tax not to be taken from him, and asked if he had made him happy that way. The man said yes.

Then he ordered that a horse, a servant and a maid be given to him and asked if he had made him happy. The man said yes. Then Najashi ordered the carpet he was sitting on to be given to him, too.
