Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Honoring The Almighty Allah, The Religion Of Allah And The Messenger Of Allah (S) ==================================================================================== The fact is that praying for His Eminence is paying respect to him as mentioned in the second point and as for it being respect of Allah, it requires no clarification because respect of every believer only for the sake of his faith is nothing but respect of Allah.

As for the beauty and charm of respecting the religion of Allah it is among the evident matters and it can be easily understood by intellect. And there is no need to quote traditional reports in this regard.

Moreover, most of the obligatory acts and recommended deeds are promulgated from this point of view: like the recommended baths ( ghusl ), Prayer for respect of Masjid, and recommended ritual purifications before entering Masjids and recitation of Qur’an etc… It would be apt here to relate an anecdote that is very much edifying.

In the book of Elaamun Naas Bi Majaraa Baraamika Maa Bani Abbas it is mentioned: Muhammad bin Yazid Mubarrad has narrated: A Jew came to Abu Uthman Maazani and requested him to teach the book of Seeybooya for a hundred dinars. But Abu Uthman refused to accept the money and teach the Jew that book. Mubarrad says: I said to him: Glory be to Allah! You rejected a hundred dinars while you needed every dirham of it?

He said: Yes, O Abul Abbas, but the problem is that the book of Seeybooya is based on three hundred verses of the Book of Allah and I didn’t want to give it in the charge of a disbeliever. Mubarrad fell silent and did not say anything. Mubarrad says: Not much time passed but that one day Wathiq arranged a wine party.

Accompanied with his friends, he watched the singing girls recite the following couplets: O glooms, indeed your giving injury to a man (Rajolan) who has sent salaam to you as a mark of respect is injustice. A guest considered the pronunciation of the word of ‘Rajolan’ incorrect and he said: The right way to pronounce it is ‘Rajolun’ since it is the subject of ‘inna’ (Indeed). The singer said: I have learnt it in the same way from my teacher. There arose a dispute about it among the guests.

Some said it was right, others supported the singer. Wathiq asked: Who is there in Iraq whom we can refer to about Arabic grammar? They said: Abu Uthman Maazani in Basra is alone having such expertise.
