Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Al-hasan Al-askari Words of light A good collection of maxims and wonderful words on different social and educational issues were transmitted from Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) and considered from the treasures of the Islamic literature.
Here we present to readers some of the imam’s wonderful sayings: The Preference Of The Ahlul Bayt (A.S) Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) said, “We have ascended the tops of facts by the feet of prophethood and guardianship, and lit the seven ways with the banners of magnanimity. We are lions of battles, sources of generosity. Sword and pen are among us now, and the banner of praise and knowledge later on.
Our grandsons are the successors of religion, allies of certainty, lamps of nations, and the keys of generosity. A generous one has put on the garment of choice for loyalty that we have known in him, and the Holy Spirit in the Heavens, and he tasted from our gardens early fruits. Our Shia are the rescued party, and the pure group.
They have been as dress and protection for us, and assistance against oppressors…Springs of life will gush out for them after flames of Fire…and all bad years…’ Sheikh al-Majlisi commented on this word by saying, ‘This is absolute wisdom, and an ample blessing that deaf ears can hear and high mountains shake for.
Peace and blessings of Allah be on them…’[^119] The imams of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s) had a very high position near Allah Who had endowed them with virtues and knowledge that no one of the human beings other than them had ever been endowed with. Allah had made them the guides to His contentment, and the leaders to His obedience.
They all were and are lamps to nations and keys of generosity in this life, and in the afterlife they will be the intercessors and bearers of the banner of Hamd (praise), and Allah has given them the Highest Paradise.
His Recommendation To His Adherents Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) preached and advised his Shia by saying, “I recommend you to fear Allah, be pious in your religion, strive for Allah, be truthful in speaking, give deposit back to its owner good or bad he is, increase prostration, and to be good to neighbors. By these (principles) Muhammad (a.s.) came with his mission.
