When the Holy prophet (SAW) migrated to Medina where people were attracted by his good character and manners, Abu Aamir the Monk, an aristocrat member from the Khazraj tribe and well-versed in Torah and Gospel, envied the Holy prophet (SAW) and continuously challenged him until he participated in the battles of Uhud and Hunain. He finally fled to Rome to prepare an army to fight against Islam.
From Rome, he wrote a letter to build the Dhirar Mosque, but God informed the Holy prophet (SAW) of the issue. When the Messenger of Allah (SAW) returned from the battles of Tabuk, the hypocrites came to him, saying: “O Messenger of Allah!
We have built a mosque, so bless it with your coming.” They meant to give value to the mosque with the Holy prophet’s presence in it and to achieve their goal, but immediately the following verse was revealed: “And those who built a Masjid to cause harm and for unbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and an ambush to him who made war against Allah and His Messenger before; and they will certainly swear: We did not desire aught but good; and Allah bears witness that they are most surely liars.
Never stand in it at all...” [^6] Also al-Mofaddhal relates: “I was in the presence of Imam Sadiq (AS) when the question of deeds was brought up. I said: ‘How little my deeds are!’ The Imam said: ‘Be silent! Ask for forgiveness of God!’ Then he said: ‘A little deed with piety is better than many deeds without piety.’ I said: ‘Are many deeds devoid of piety?’ The Imam said: ‘Yes.
It is like a man who feeds the poor, is kind to the neighbors, his house is open with generosity, but a door of unlawfulness is opened to him and he enters through it. Such a deed is devoid of Taqwa. There is another person who has nothing but never does an unlawful act.” [^7] These verses and narrations were used to say that our deeds should be righteous. Furthermore, the results of deeds are important, for our deeds have no value without result.
