____________ Referring to the series of relaters of this commandment, Sheikh as-Saduq records the following in his Al-Mashyakha: (About the commandment of the Prophet (s) for Amir ul-Mu'minin (a) that is narrated by Hemmad bin Amr and Anas bin Mohammed, I have narrated it from Mohammed bin Ali Shah in Marwalruth from Abu Hamid Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Ahmed bin al-Hussein from Abu Yazid Ahmed bin Khalid at-Tamimi from Mohammed bin Ahmed bin Salih at-Tamimi from his father Ahmed bin Salih at-Tamimi from Mohamed Bihar ul-Anwar; Hatem al-Qattan from Hemmad bin Amr from Ja'far bin Mohammed from his father from his grandfather from Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him.

I also narrated it from Mohammed bin Ali Shah from Abu Hamid from Abu Yazid from Mohammed bin Ahmed bin Salih at-Tamimi from his father from Anas bin Mohammed Abu Malik from his father from Ja'far bin Mohammed from his father from his grandfather from Ali bin Abi Talib (a) that the Prophet (s) said: O Ali, I command…) يا عليّ، من كظم الغيظ وهو يقدر على إمضائه أعقبه الله يوم القيامة أمناً وإيماناً يجد طعمه. يا عليُّ، مَن لم يُحسن وصيّته عند موته كان نقصاً في مروءته ولم يملك الشفاعة.

يا عليُّ، أفضل الجهاد من أصبح ولا يهتمّ بظلم أحد. يا عليُّ، مَن خاف الناس لسانه فهو من أهل النار. يا عليُّ، شرّ الناس من أكرمه الناس إتّقاء شرّه. يا عليُّ، شرّ الناس من باع آخرته بدنياه. O Ali, for those who suppress their anger while they are able to punish, Allah will endow them with security and tasteful faith on the Day of Resurrection.

O Ali, he who does not provide a proper will in his final hours is suffering a defect in his personality and will be deprived of the right of Intercession.2 O Ali, the best of jihad is to begin your day without intending to oppress anybody. O Ali, he whose utterance is avoided by people will be an inhabitant of Hell. O Ali, the evilest of my people are those whom people respect for avoiding their evildoings.

3 O Ali, the evilest people are those who sold their lives to come with their worldly lives. ____________ This means that such a person does not deserve to intercede for anybody or be interceded by anyone, for his omission of dedicating a one-third of his will to charity. In other way of narration, the word 'obscene language' replaces the word 'evildoing'. وشرّ من ذلك من باع آخرته بدنيا غيره. يا عليُّ، مَن لم يقبل العذر من متنصّل صادقاً كان أو كاذباً، لم ينل شفاعتي.

يا عليُّ، إنّ الله عزّ وجلّ أحبّ الكذب في الصلاح، وأبغض الصدق في الفساد.
