There is no spending of the people which is better than the good speech’.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Yaqteen, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Abu Al Hassan Al Safahany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen -asws said: ‘Speak good (words) to be recognised by it, and do good deeds so that would become from its deserving ones’. [42] عنه، عن علي بن أسباط، رفعه، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: رحم الله عبدا قال خيرا فغنم، أو سكت على سوء فسلم.

From him, from Ali Bin Asbaat, raising it, said, ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘May Allah -azwj have Mercy on a servant who speaks good so he would succeed, or remains silent upon evil, so he greets (Salaam)’.

[43] عنه، عن جعفر بن محمد الاشعري، عن ابن القداح، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال الله تبارك وتعالى: إنما أقبل الصلوة ممن تواضع لعظمتي، ويكف نفسه عن الشهوات من أجلى، ويقطع نهاره بذكرى، ولا يتعاظم على خلقي، ويطعم الجائع ويكسوا العارى، ويرحم المصاب، ويؤوى الغريب، فذلك يشرق نوره مثل الشمس وأجعل له في الظلمات نورا وفي الجهالة علما وأكلاه بعزتي، وأستحفظه ملائكتي، يدعوني فألبي، ويسألني فأعطى، فمثل ذلك عندي كمثل جنات الفردوس لا تيبس ثمارها ولا تتغير عن حالها.

From him, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qadah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Allah -azwj Blessed and High Said: “But rather, I -azwj Accept the Prayer from the one who humbles himself to My -azwj Magnificence, and refrains himself from the lustful desires for My -azwj Sake, and passes his day in My -azwj remembrance, and does not revere My -azwj creatures, and feeds the hungry, and clothes the naked, and has mercy upon the injured, looks after the poor.

So that is the one whose light will shine like the sun, and I -azwj will Make for him a light in the darkness, and in the ignorance, a flag, by My -azwj Honour. And My -azwj Angels would protect him, and he will supplicate to Me -azwj and I -azwj will Listen, and ask Me -azwj and I -azwj shall Give. So the example of that in My -azwj Presence is the example of the Garden of Al Firdous (the Paradise), its fruits neither rot nor does their colour change’.
