Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-Amali, The Dictations of Shaykh al-Mufid The First Assembly In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Beneficent All praise be to Allah, the Sustainer of the worlds. And blessings and peace be upon the noble master, Muhammad ibn Abdillah, the last of the Prophets, and upon his progeny, (who are) the straight path, the infallible Imams. May peace be upon them all from Allah.

It met on Saturday, the first of the month of Ramadhan, in the year 404 Hijra, in Baghdad at the location called al-Zayyarain on the Rib'ah street, at the residence of Dhamrah Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul Rehman al-Farsi, may Allah perpetuate his honour, by way of dictation from his books: Registering Good Deeds The grand Shaikh al-Mufid Abu Abdillah Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Nu’man, may Allah continue to bless him with His protection and beneficence today said: Abul Hasan Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Walid reported to me from his father Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al Saffar, from Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Muhammad ibn Khalid, from Ibn Hammad, from Abu Jamilah, from Jabir ibn Yazeed that Abu Ja'far Muhammad al-Baqir, peace be upon him, reported from his father that: "Surely, the Angel appointed to the servant (of Allah) records (everything) in his books of deeds.

So, register a good deed at its beginning and at its end, (so that) Allah may forgive you that which transpires in between." Condition for the Acceptance of Acts of Devotion.

He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Zubair al-Kufi reported to me, with permission to report from Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Faddhal, who reported from ‘Ali ibn Asbat who reported from Muhammad ibn Yahya, the brother of Mughallas, from al-Ula ibn Razin, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two (Imams), peace be upon them, saying that: I told him: "We see a man deeply engrossed in the acts of devotion, humble and trying his best (to please Allah), yet he is opposed to you.

Does that benefit him anything?" He said: "O Muhammad, the similitude of us Ahlul Bayt is like that of a household among Banu Israel, of whom whoever strived devotedly for forty nights, his prayer was answered." Among them there was one who strenuously worshipped for forty nights and his prayer went unanswered. So he came to Isa, son of Maryam, peace be upon him, complaining about the situation he was in, and beseeching him to pray for him. So Isa made ablutions, and prayed.
