Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto a Prophet -as from the Prophets...

Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto a Prophet -as from the Prophets: “Say to so and so, by My -azwj Mighty and My -azwj Majesty! Even if you were to supplicate to me until your joints are broken, I -azwj will not Answer (Forgive) you until you return (all the) ones who died upon what you called them to, and they return from it’’. [5] .

[6] ابن بابويه، قال: حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن سهل بن زياد الآدمي، عن مبارك مولى الرضا (عليه السلام)، عن الرضا علي بن موسى (عليه السلام)، قال: «لا يكون المؤمن مؤمنا حتى يكون فيه ثلاث خصال: سنة من ربه، و سنة من نبيه، و سنة من وليه.

Ibn Babuwayh said, ‘Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad narrated to us, from Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Kufy, from Sahl Bin Ziyad Al Adamy, from Mubarak, A (devout) slave of Al-Reza -asws (reports) from Al-Reza Ali -asws Bin Musa -asws having said: ‘A Believer cannot become a Believer until there are three characteristics in him (that he adheres to) – A Sunnah from his Lord -azwj , and a Sunnah from his Prophet -saww , and a Sunnah from his Guardian -asws .

As for the Sunnah from his Lord -azwj , so it is the concealment of the secret. Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic [72:26] The Knower of the unseen! So He does not Reveal His secrets to any, [72:27] Except to him whom He chooses from the Rasool .

And as for the Sunnah from his Prophet -saww , so it is the concealment from the people, for Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded His -azwj Prophet -saww for concealment from the people, so He -azwj Said [7:199] Take to Forgiveness and enjoin good and turn aside from the ignorant . And as for the Sunnah from his Guardian -asws , so it is the patience upon the evil and adversities. Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Says [2:177] and the patient in tribulation and adversity.

Such are the people of truth, the pious ’.
