Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-Amali, The Dictations of Shaykh al-Mufid Thirty Ninth Assembly Met on Saturday, 23rd of the month of Ramadhan, in 411 Hijrah.

Our grand Sheikh al-Mufid, Abu Abdillah Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Nu’man, may Allah support his capabilities, narrated: Hope from none but Allah He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Walid, may Allah bless him with mercy, reported to me from his father who reported from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, who reported from ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasani, from al-Ishfahani, from al-Minqari, from Hafs ibn Ghiyath al-Qadhi, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah Ja'far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him, say: "When anyone of you wishes that Allah grants him whatever he asks for, then he should despair of receiving anything from men; and he should pin hope on none but Allah, Most High.

When Allah knows that from his heart, He grants him all his wishes." He said: "Take account of yourselves (by introspection) before you are called upon to do so, for the place on the Day of Resurrection has fifty stations, each one has a stay of one thousand years." Then he recited the verse: '... one day the duration of which is fifty thousand years.' (70:4).

Admonitions by Ibn Al-Abbas He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Hubaish al-Katib reported to me from al-Hasan Ibn ‘Ali al-Za'farani, from Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, from Habib ibn Nasr, from Ahmad ibn Bashir ibn Sulaiman, from Hisham ibn Muhammad, from his father Muhammad ibn al-Saeb, from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Yamani, from Ikramah, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Abbas telling his son ‘Ali ibn Abdillah that: "Let knowledge be the treasure you amass; and be more jubilant because of that, than treasuring pink gold.

For I am entrusting to you an advice which if you heed, then Allah will combine for (the success in) your affairs in this world and the next. Do not be of those who hope for the hereafter without any deeds, and procrastinated seeking repentance because of prolonged hope. He speaks in this world like an ascetic, but acts like the one inclined. If given something in it, he is never content, and if favoured, he is never satisfied.

He is unable to thank for what has been given, and desires to get from what is remaining. He enjoins but does not practice it, claims to love the righteous, but does not act the way they do, and pretends to hate the ignorant, while he is one of them.
