traduza o texto completo e perfeitamente para o português Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) told to one chieftain, “Abstain from tyranny
and injkustice! The suppreed overcomes the pangs of tyranny, but the
tyrant faces Retribution for the tyranny for ever.”
The Imam (a.s) further added: On the Day of Judgement three persons
will be the dearest to Allah:
1. One who is not unjust to a persaon even in a state of acute anger.
2. One who is an arbiter in some matter and doesn’t take sides
unjustly.
3. One who tells the truth even at the risk of harm to his own person.
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) said, “One must be scared of doing an
injustice to a person who has no helper in the world except Allah.”
The Imam (a.s) further added, “The cruel person doesn’t usurp as
much value by usurping anything from the weakling than what the
weak person takes away from the tyrants faith!”
“And when a person does wrong to anyone, he infact wrongs himself
because, as you sow, so shall you reap!”
434THE RIGHTS OF THE RULERS AND THE RULED OVER
EACH OTHER
Imam Zain al Abedeen (a.s) says that since Allah has given authority to
the kings and the emirs, it is imperative for them to be just and sagacious
with their subjects. They should show affection for the subjects like the
parents do for their children. They should be thankful to Allah for the
position bestowed on them. In this regard the long epistles written to
Malik e Ashtar, Sahl bin Haneef and Mohammed bin Abi Bakr are worth
perusal.
It is authentically reported that Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) said, “A fair
person in authority over the affairs of Muslims deals with them justly.
He keeps his doors always open for them, erects no curtain or obstruction between them and himself. He considers their affairs with keen interest and fulfills their legitimate needs. Allah will remove all his fears
and give him admittance to the Heaven on the Day of Judgement.”
Remember, Allah has made every individual a sort of a king in his
own way. It is in place to quote the following tradition here:
“Everyone of you is a ruler and you will have to account for your subjects”
Questions will be asked and enquiries made. Like enquiries are made
with a shepherd about his flock.
On the Day of Judgement everyone will be asked about how he treated
his subjects. As Allah has given authority to kings over the subjects of his
realm, the courties and nobles have authority over smaller numbers than
the king, every house-holder has authority over his family, servants and
slaves.The house-holder is responsible for the maintenance of the persons under his authority. Similarly every individual is the master over
his own limbs and body. He has to keep his senses in control that they
don’t become the cause of Retribution for him on the Day of Reckoning.
Allah has mad the behaviour and habits subordinate to the individual.
There is none in this world who is not a ruler in lesser or greater measure. Every person is bestowed with the power to rule according to his
ability. Allah expects him to be thankful and perform his task according
to the Dictum of the Creator.If the person does his task properly, Allah
will enhance his authority and bounty for him.One who goes in the contrary direction, Allah will withdraw the bounty from him.If the rulers are
just to the subjects and express their thanks to Allah along with the subjects, Allah will extend the period of their dominance. Therefore he has
said that even if the king is an infidel, but he deals with the subjects
435judiciously, his realm will prosper. To the contrary the realm of a cruel
Muslim king disintegrates.
436ABOUT HELPING MOMINEEN AND KEEPING THEM
CONTENTED
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) says that making a momin smile is a big virtue. There is no supplication more than making a momin happy and helping him to meet his needs.
It is in the traditions that Hazrat Moosa (a.s) received a revelation from
Allah, “O Moosa! I have made the Heaven lawful for some of my
creatures.” Hazrat Moosa (a.s) asked, “Who are these persons?” Allah
replied, “These are the persons who make their fellowmen happy!”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) said that a momin tired of the repression
of the Muslim king flew to another realm of an infidel and took refuge
there. The kind ruler there treated the momin properly and provided him all
the necessary facilities. In the meantime the infidel king died. Allah revealed to
him that but for his being an unbeliever He would have sent him to the Heaven.
However the fire of the Hell was made cold for him.
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said that one who pleases a momin, it is
like pleasing the Prophet of Islam (a.s). One who has pleased the Prophet
(a.s), he has pleased Allah. And a person who pleases Allah, qualifies to
enter the Heaven.
It is narrated from Sadeer Sarraf that once he was with Imam Jafar e
Sadiq (a.s). At that meeting a discussion came up about the rights of
brother momins. The Imam (a.s) gave his attention to me and asked, “If
you wish I shall tell you about the rights?” Sadeer said, “Ya Hazrat!
Kindly tell!” The Imam (a.s) said: When Allah orders the death of a person, the Karamain Katibain (the two angels who keep an account of the
deeds of the person) go to the Firmament and tell to Allah,’ O Allah! This
was your pious creature! He was always busy in your obedience and always abstained from anything that can be termed your disobedience!
Now you have taken away his spirit. What is your order to us in his regard?’ Allah will say, ‘You return to the world and sit praying near his
grave.and enter the reward for your prayers in his account till I raise him
on the Day of Resurrection!’ The Imam (a.s) added, “O Sadeer! Do you
want to hear further of the virtues of a momin?” He said, “Ya Hazrat!
Kindly relate!” The Imam (a.s) said: At the time of raising the person
from the grave, a pleasant looking apparition will emerge from the grave
and go in front of him. When the person would get scared on seeing the
manifestations of the Doomsday, this apparition would put his fears to
rest. It will give him the tiding of the happiness and comforts in store for
him and that he need not worry for anything. It will remain with the
437person up to the place where he will have to give the account of his
deeds. Allah will ease the process of accounting for the man. And will
order his conduct to the Heaven. At that time the apparition will move in
front of him. The momin will tell to the apparition,’ May Allah be kind on
you! You have kept company with me ever since I emerged from the
grave and have been the harbinger of good news at every step. You are
now leading me to the Heaven! Tell me, who you are?’ The apparition
would reply, ‘I am that happiness and comfort which you gave to suchand-such a momin. Allah has created me on account of that happiness
only that I keep giving you tidings of happiness coming your way!’
Mashal narrates that one year he went for the Haj. After the Haj he
went to the presence of Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s). The Imam (a.s) inquired
of him, “From where are you coming?” He said, “After performing the
Haj.” The Imam (a.s) asked, “Do you know that the felicity of performing
the Haj for a person is that in his account of deeds, six thousand good
deeds are recorded. Allah also pardons six thousand bad deeds of the
person!” Masaal said, “Subhan Allah! There is so much reward for a
Haji!” The Imam (a.s) said, “I shall tell you of an act that brings much
more reward. The momin who helps a brother momin or makes him
happy, gets reward equal to performing Haj ten times.”
