1.A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from âUmar ibn Aban from abu âAbd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: âThe Messenger of Allah has said, âAll good things are with the sword, under the shadow (protection) of sword and people cannot be improved without the sword. Swords are the key to paradise or hellfire.ââ صØÙØ - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (MirʾÄt al-Ê¿UqÅ«l fÄ« Sharḥ AkhbÄr Äl al-RasÅ«l (8/320))
