Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 2 7: Relating The Praiseworthy Qualities Of Imam (aj) To remember Imam (aj) through the mention of his Fadail (special qualities). Proof for this is based on the general traditions that recommend the narration of the Fadail of other Purified Imams (as).

For example it is mentioned in Al-Kafi that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) is reported to have remarked, “It is the duty of a group of heavenly angels to look at two or three people who are discussing the Fadail of Aale Muhammad (as). One of the angels says, ‘Look at them!

In spite of the fact that they are so few in number and in spite of having so many enemies, they are still discussing the Fadail of Aale Muhammad (as).’ The other group of angels says: That is Allah’s grace; He grants it to whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace. [^1] In the same book through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from Maseer from Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) that he said to me: Do you have secluded meetings and discuss among yourselves what you like?

I replied: Yes, we indeed talk about the excellences of Aale Muhammad in private. The Imam said: I would like it very much to be present in those gatherings. By Allah, I like your fragrance and your souls.

Indeed you are following the religion of the Allah and His angels, thus you help it through piety and effort.[^2] In the same book it is narrated from Imam Musa Kazim (as) that he said: That which is most despicable for Satan and his group is mutual interaction of the believer for the sake of Allah.

He said: When two believers meet and remember Allah and discuss the excellence of us, Ahle Bayt (as), Iblees scratches his face badly and then his soul screams due to the intensity of pain so much that the angels of the sky and the custodians of Paradise hear it and they curse him and no angel remains but that he curses him, thus the Satan becomes disgraced and helpless.[^3] It can also be supported by traditional report that talk of responding to a good turn and to speak nicely of one who has done a favor to you.

Like the tradition of Imam Zainul Abideen (as) mentioned in the Treatise of Rights, which is also quoted in books like Makarimul Ahklaq and Tohaful Uqool etc. In the said tradition, the Imam explains the rights of one who has done a favor to us.
