And it is effective with every relationship and this verse...

And it is effective with every relationship and this verse is revealed about Aale Muhammad and all those who have made a pledge with them.”[^3] Also quoting from Ayyashi it is narrated from Umar bin Maryam that he said: I asked His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) about the verse: “And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined.” He replied: “It is about all relationships and its ultimate interpretation is related to us.”[^4] I say: From these traditional reports, it is clear that attachment to Imam (as) is a cause of security from a difficult accounting and thus two points remain to be discussed: First: Explanation that attachment will be effected through Dua .

Second: The proof that the implication of attachment is absolute good and favor in any way it might be. Whether it be through the tongue or in any other way.

And Dua is the best type of favor through the tongue and that which proves it, is a traditional report mentioned in Usool Kafi through his own chain of narrators from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) that Amirul Momineen (as) said: “Join your relationships even if it be by a greeting.”[^5] Also through authentic chain of narrators it is narrated from Ishaq bin Ammar that he said: I heard His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) say: “Indeed, Sile Rahem (doing good to the kinsfolk) and doing good makes the accounting easy and erases sins, so do good to your relatives and do good to your brothers, even it be through greeting or replying to greeting.”[^6] As for the meaning of hardship in accounting: It means a complete and detailed accounting as mentioned in Tafseer Burhan through authentic chain of narrators from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) that he said to a man: “So-and-so, what did you do with your brother?” He replied: “May I be sacrificed on you, I had an account with him, so I took my rights completely.” Imam Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) said: “Tell me about the statement of the Almighty Allah: ‘And they fear an evil accounting’, so you think that they fear that He will do injustice to them or oppress them?

No, by Allah they are afraid of a complete and detailed accounting ( Istiqsa ).”[^7] In Kafi also it is narrated from another chain that: “No, by Allah, they do not fear except a complete accounting, thus Allah, the Mighty and Sublime named it bad accounting and one who has taken a detailed account has done bad.”[^8] A similar tradition is narrated from Ayyashi also.
