Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim, Exalted Aphorisms And Pearls Of Speech Muhammad (S) And His Progeny Muhammad (s) and his Progeny محمّد صلَّى اللّه عليه وآله وسلَّم وأهل بيته Be pleased with Muhammad (s) as your guide [and role model] and as the one who will lead you to salvation. 1ـ اِرْضَ بِمُحَمَّد صلَّى اللّه عليه وآله وسلَّم رائِداً، وإلَى النَّجاةِ قائِداً.

Follow the guidance of your Prophet for it is the truest guidance, and emulate his practices for they are the most exemplary practices. 2ـ اِقْتَدُوا بِهُدى نَبِيِّكُمْ، فَإنَّهُ أصْدَقُ الهُدى، واسْتَنُّوا بِسُنَّتِهِ، فَإنَّها أهْدىَ السُّنَنِ. Be cautious of exceeding the limits with regards to us; say that we are servants of our Lord, and then you may believe anything you wish about our merits. 3ـ إيّاكُمْ والْغُلُوَّ فينا، قُولُوا:إنّا مَرْبُوبُُونَ، واْعْتَقِدُوا في فَضْلِنا ما شِئْتُمْ.

Indeed we, the household [of the Prophet], are the doors of wisdom, the lights that dispel darkness and the illumination of the nations. 4ـ ألا وَإنّا أهْلَ البَيْتِ أبْوابُ الحِكَمِ، وأنْوارُ الظُّلَمِ، وضِياءُ الأُمَمِ. Where are you wandering and where are you coming from and where are you straying to and what are you bewildered by while you have among you the progeny of your Prophet – they who are the guides towards right and speakers of truth?

5ـ أيْنَ تَتِيهُونَ، ومِنْ أيْنَ تُؤْتَوْنَ، وأنّى تُؤْفَكُونَ، وعَلامَ تعْمَهُونَ، وَبَيْنَـكُمْ عِتْرَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ، وَهُمْ أزِمَّةُ الصِّدْقِ وألْسِنَةُ الْحَقِّ؟ Where are those who allege that they are firmly grounded in knowledge apart from us, while they lie and transgress against us, and harbour jealousy towards us because Allah, the Glorified, elevated us and lowered them, gave us and deprived them, put us in [His proximity] and expelled them; it is through us that guidance is granted and the blindness [of ignorance] is removed, not though them!

6ـ أيْنَ الَّذينَ زَعَمُوا أنَّهُمُ الرّاسِخُونَ فِي العِلْمِ دُونَنا كِذْباً وبَغْياً عَلَيْنا وَحَسَداً لَنا، أنْ رَفَعَنا اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ ووَضَعَهُمْ، وأعْطانا وحَرَمَهُمْ، وأدْخَلَنا وَأخْرَجَهُمْ، بِنا يُسْتَعْطَي الهُدى، وَيُسْتَجْلَي العَمى لا بِهِمْ. The most virtuous of good deeds is loving us and the most despicable of evil deeds is hating us. 7ـ أحْسَنُ الحَسَناتِ حُبُّنا، وأسْوَءُ السَّـيِّئاتِ بُغْضُنا.
