The Prophet’s Vigil It has been reported on the authority of Imam Ali : "Staying awake to pray leads to physical health, God’s pleasure and Mercy as well as restoration to the Prophet’s moral virtues." عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: قَالَ: قِيامُ اللَّيْلِ مُصِحَّةٌ لِلبَدَنِ وَمَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَتَعَرُّضٌ لِلرَّحْمَةِ وَتَمَسُّكٌ بِأَخْلاقِ النَّبِيّينَ .

Keeping Away From A Sinful Look Imam Sadeq quoting Prophet Moses in the story of Prophet Shuaib’s daughter as saying: "Walk behind me and lead the way, for we — the Prophets — do not look at women’s rumps." عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمّدٍ عَلَيْهما السَّلامُ : وَقالَ مُوسى : كُوني خَلفي وَعَرِّفيني الطَّريقَ فَإِنّا [ الأَنبياء ] قَوْمٌ لا نَنْظُرُ إِلى أَدْبَارِ النِّساءِ .

The Prophet’s Forgiveness It has been reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq : To be powerful and to forgive is one of the habits of the Prophets and the pious ones." عَنِ الصّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ أَميرُ الْمُؤْمِنينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: العَفْوُ عِنْدَ الْقُدْرَةِ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلينَ وَالْمُتَّقينَ. Avoiding Flattery Imam Ali has said: "Flattery is not the habit of the Prophets." قال أَميرُ الْمُؤْمِنينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ : لَيْسَ المَلَقُ مِنْ خُلُقِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ .

The Prophets’ Way Of Speaking The holy Prophet has said: "We — the Prophets — have been commissioned to speak to people to the extent of their understanding." قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآله : إِنّا مَعاشِرَ الأَنبِياءِ أُمِرْنا أَنْ نُكلِّمَ النّاسَ عَلى قَدْرِ عُقُولِهِمْ .

The Prophet’s Heritage The holy Prophet has said: "Surely the Prophets have bequeathed neither Dirham nor Dinar but they have left a bequest of Knowledge." قَالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ : إِنَّ الأَنْبِياءَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثُوا دِينَارًا وَلا دِرْهَمًا ولكِن وَرَّثُوا العِلمَ . The Prophet’s Supper Imam Ali has said: "the Prophets would have dinner after performing their night prayer.

Therefore, do not forsake dinner, for forsaking it will affect your health." قال أَميرُ الْمُؤْمِنينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ : عِشاءُ النَّبِيّينَ بَعدَ العَتمةِ فلا تَدَعُوهُ فإِنَّ تَرْكَ العِشاءِ خَرَابُ البَدَنِ .
