Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-Amali, The Dictations of Shaykh al-Mufid Twelfth Assembly Met on Saturday, 12th Rajab, in the year 407 Hijra, in which the following was heard.

Our grand Sheikh Abu Abdillah Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Nu’man, may Allah perpetuate His support to him, narrated: The best act is faith unblemished by doubt He said: Abu Hafs Umar ibn Muhammad al-Sayrafi reported to me from Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Mahrawayh al-Qazwini, in the year 302, reporting from Dawood ibn Suleiman al-Ghazi, that ‘Ali ibn Musa, peace be upon him, reported from his saintly father Musa ibn Ja'far, from his father al-Sadiq Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father al-Baqir Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, from his father Zainul Abideen ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn, from his father al-Shaheed Al-Husayn ibn ‘Ali, from his father Amirul Mu’mineen ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon them all, that: The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said: "The best act in the estimation of Allah, is to have faith unblemished by any doubt, and to fight in His way, without being dishonest about the spoils, and to perform Hajj, which is accepted into the grace of Allah.

And the slave who worships Allah in the best manner, remains sincere to his master and the one who is chaste, incorruptible and worshipful, will be the first to enter Paradise." Submiting to those possessing worldly authority He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan reported to me from his father, from Sa'd ibn Abdillah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from al-Hasan ibn Mahboob, from Hadeed ibn Hakeem al-Azadi who said: I have heard Abu Abdillah Ja'far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him say: "Guard yourselves from the sins fearing Allah and protect your religion with piety.

And lend it strength by dissimulation (where necessary) and by relying solely on Allah for your needs, rather than on those who possess worldly power. And know you all, that whoever submits to the one possessing worldly authority, or to the one who is opposed to his faith, in order to gain something from his transitory bounties, Allah will weaken his force, subject him to His utter displeasure and entrust all his affairs to that person.
