It is better to attend to the improvement of one’s own faults than to seek out other people’s faults.’” THREE GROUPS OF PEOPLE ARE CLOSEST TO THE HONORABLE THE EXALTED GOD ON THE RESURRECTION DAY 3-5 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, on the authority of Uthman ibn Isa, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Moskan, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “Three groups of people will be the closest to God on the Resurrection Day until He is finished with the Reckoning of the people.

The first group are those who do not oppress their subordinates when they get angry. The second group are those who associate with two people and do not favor one over the other.

The third group are those who tell the truth whether it is in their favor or not.” THE THREE CONDITIONS WHICH IMPLY THE ACCEPTANCE OF ONE’S PRAYERS 3-6 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Al-Hussein ibn Ishaq al-Tajir, on the authority of Ali ibn Mahzyar, on the authority of Ali ibn Hadid who linked it up to Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), “If your body shakes, your tears flow and you fear (God) wholeheartedly, then you can be hopeful of God’s forgiveness, since you have achieved your goal.” ONE IS NOT A TRUE BELIEVER UNLESS HE HAS THREE CHARACTERISTICS 3-7 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Idris quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad** [172] ** , on the authority of Sahl ibn Zyad, on the authority of Al-Harith ibn al-Dalhath - a servant of Al-Reza (MGB), “I heard Abal-Hassan (MGB) 3-4 حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن سنان قال: حدثنا الخضر بن مسلم الصيرفي قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: ثلاثة في ظل عرش الله عز وجل يوم لا ظل إلا ظله: رجل أنصف الناس من نفسه ورجل لم يقدم رجلا ولم يؤخر اخرى حتى يعلم أن ذلك لله عز وجل رضى أو سخط، ورجل لم يعب أخاه بعيب حتى ينفي ذلك العيب من نفسه، فانه لا ينفي منها عيبا إلا بداله عيب آخر، وكفى بالمرء شغلا بنفسه عن الناس.
