Tell them that I -asws enjoin upon you to be pious before Allah -azwj , to restrain yourselves from the worldly attractions in the matters of your religion, to work hard, to maintain truthfulness in your words, keep your trust, perform long prostrations, and to maintain good neighbourly relations. \n This is what Prophet Mohammed -saww has brought (from Allah -azwj ). Return the trust to those who have entrusted you, whether they are virtuous people or evildoers.

The Messenger of Allah -saww would command to return the needle and swing thread. Maintain good relations with the people of your tribe, attend their funerals, visit their sick people, and fulfil your obligations toward them.

\n If one of you maintains restraint in the worldly attractions in the matters of his religion, is truthful in his words, keeps his trust, has acquired proper moral discipline to behave toward people, it will be said about him: \u2018This is a Jafari (follower of Jafar ibn Mohammed -asws ) and this will bring me -asws joy and delight and they will say: \u2018This is the discipline of Jafar -asws .\u2019 If otherwise, its misfortune and disgrace will trouble me -asws and they will say: \u2018This is the behaviour of Jafar -asws .\u2019 By Allah -azwj my father -asws spoke to me -asws about a man who lived with a Shia of Ali -asws tribe whose beauty was in his keeping his trust, fulfilling his obligations, and his being the most truthful in his words.

With him they would keep their important documents and valuables. If one were to ask people of the tribe about him, they would ask, \u2018Who is like him\u2019?
