Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Tuhaf Al-uqul ( the Masterpieces of the Mind ) Al-mufaddal Bin Omar's Commandment For the Community of Shiism I command you to fear God exclusively without associating with him anything. I command you to declare that there is no god but Allah and that Mohammed is His servant and messenger. Fear God and utter only the good wording. Seek the satisfaction of God and fear of His wrath.

Keep up the traditions of God, do not exceed His limits, watch Him in all of your affairs, and satisfy yourselves with His act, whether they are for you good or evil. Cling to enjoining good and forbidding evil. Do them who did you favors as many favors as possible, pardon them who mistreated you, and do to people what you want them to do to you. 4. Associate with people as much as possible. You should not let any point be taken against you.

Stick on religious knowledge, show piety against the forbidden (matters), and respect the friendship of him whoever befriends you whether he was pious or sinful. Commit yourselves to excessive piety, for it is the source of the religion. Offer the (obligatory) prayers in their proper times and fulfill the obligatory rituals as exactly as possible. Do no show any negligence in performing the rites that God has made incumbent upon you and the matters that bring God's satisfaction.

I have heard Abu Abdillah (Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq, peace be upon him) saying: "Learn the religious affairs and do not be like the Bedouins. God will not regard (by a look) those who lack any acquaintance with the religious affairs on the Day of Resurrection. Be moderate whether you are rich or poor. Take some of the worldly affairs as means to the life to come.

I have heard Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) saying: "Take some of this (the world) as means to that (the life to come), and do not be burdens on people." Behave courteously with everybody and do favors to everyone. Beware of aggression, for I have heard Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) saying: "Aggression is the quickest in punishment." 9.

Carry out the prayers and the fasting, as well as the other obligatory rituals, that God has made incumbent upon you, and defray the obligatory zakat to their proper people. Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) said: "O Mufaddal, tell your acquaintances to defray the zakat to its proper people and I will guarantee for them. " Adhere to the loyalty to (the leadership of) Mohammed's family (peace be upon them).
