Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-mawaaizh ( the Sermons ) Supplement 1 يا عليّ، ما أحد من الأوّلين والآخرين إلاّ وهو يتمنّى يوم القيامة إنّه لم يعط من الدنيا إلاّ قوتاً. يا عليّ، شرّ الناس من اتّهم الله في قضائه. يا عليّ، أنين المؤمن تسبيح، وصياحه تهليل، ونومه على الفراش عبادة، وتقلّبه من جنب إلى جنب جهاد في سبيل الله. فإن عوفي مشى وما عليه من ذنب. يا عليّ، لو اُهدي إليَّ كراع لقبلت، ولو دعيت إلى كراع لأجبت.

O Ali, on the Day of Resurrection, every individual, including all the past and the coming generations, will hope were they given only the minimum sustenance. O Ali, the evilest of people is that who complains against the act of Allah.

O Ali, as for the believer, his moaning is (regarded as) Tasbih -saying subhaanallah: All glory is due to Allah-, his cries are tahlil -saying la ilaha illallah: there is no god but Allah-, his sleep in beds is a sort of worship, and his turnings are jihad for Allah's sake. If he is cured, he walks among people guiltless. (i.e. all his sins are forgiven because illness is regarded as punishment for him) O Ali, if a foot of an animal is presented to me, I will accept it.

If I am invited to a foot of a sheep17, I will answer. ____________ There is a village called 'Kura' which is a place between Mecca and al-Medina and about eight miles away from Osfan. Accordingly, the Prophet (s) might have meant: "If I am invited to the village of Kura', I will answer despite its remoteness. يا عليّ، ليس على النساء جمعة ولا جماعة ولا أذان ولا إقامة ولا عيادة مريض ولا اتّباع جنازة ولا هرولة بين الصفا والمروة ولا استلام الحجر ولا حلق.

ولا تولّى القضاء ولا تستشار ولا تذبح إلاّ عند الضرورة ولا تجهر بالتلبية ولا تقيم عند قبر ولا تسمع الخطبة ولا تتولّى التزويج بنفسها. ولا تخرج من بيت زوجها إلاّ بإذنه فإن خرجت بغير إذنه لعنها الله وجبرئيل وميكائيل ولا تعطى من بيت زوجها شيئاً إلاّ بإذنه ولا تبيت وزوجها عليها ساخط وإن كان ظالماً لها.

O Ali, it is not obligatory upon women to attend the Friday and collective prayers, recite the azan or iqama, visit the sick, participate in funeral ceremonies, roam between Safa and Marwa, kiss the Black Stone, and have their hair cut (as a ritual of the hajj).

They should not assume the magistrature, be consulted, slaughter animals except in emergencies, recite the talbiya loudly, reside near a grave, listen to the sermon (of the Friday Prayers), and manage the ceremonies of their marriage themselves.
