The companion of Imam Sadiq...
The companion of Imam Sadiq, Mufaddhal says, “I asked Imam Sadiq about the minimum right of faithful upon his brother. Imam replied, “He does not prefer his brother’s need for himself.”” [^3] In a comprehensive order, the commander of faithful explains the method for dealing with different group of people.
Imam says, “Force yourself to be kind and patient with people and make this as a habit for yourself. For your friend give away your life and your wealth; for your relative give your hospitality; for the public give your cordiality and your kindness; and to your enemy give your justice.
However keep your religion and your reputation for yourself because it is better for this world and the hereafter.”[^4] Also Imam Sadiq said, “One of the Prophet’s advice to Imam Ali was, “O, Ali, the best of all actions are three: 1) being just to people; 2) sharing with your brother for the sake of Allah; 3) and the remembrance of Allah at all times.”[^5] Sharing With All People Most of us may assume that only good people are worthy of help, and helping others in the way of their worldly needs is something in vain.
