“I re<strong>com</strong>mend you to fear Allah, the One, without a partner, (to) bear witness that there is no god<br />

but Allah, and that Muhammed is His servant and Apostle. Fear Allah and say good words; seek<br />

Allah’s good pleasure and fear His displeasure. Keep Allah’s Laws; do not transgress the things<br />

limited by Allah; conform to Allah in respect with all your affairs; and be satisfied with His decree<br />

in that which is for you and that which is against you.<br />

“You should stick to enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.<br />

“Whoever does good to you, increase him in good; pardon him who wrongs you; do to people<br />

that which you like them to do to you. “Associate with them in a better manner which you are<br />

able (to use); you had better not place a way against you. You have to fully understand the<br />

religion of Allah, to refrain from the things made forbidden by Him, and to well associate him who<br />

associates with you, pious and sinful. Cling to strong piety, for the angel of the religion is piety;<br />

perform the ritual prayers at their timings; and perform the religious duties according to their<br />

limits.<br />

“Do not fall short of that which Allah has made obligatory on you and of that through which He<br />

be<strong>com</strong>es pleased with you. For I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah, peace be on him, said: ‘Fully understand<br />

the religion of Allah, and do not be like the Arabs of the desert, for surely whoever does not<br />

obtain understanding in the religion of Allah, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.<br />

You must be moderate during riches and poverty; seek help through some of the world for the<br />

hereafter, for I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah say: ‘Seek help through some of this (world) against this (the<br />

hereafter), and do not be dependent on people.’ You should cling to kindness and good deeds to<br />

all those with whom you associate.<br />

“Beware of oppression, for Abu ‘Abd Allah used to say: ‘Surly the quickest wickedness in<br />

punishment is oppression.’ Perform what Allah has made obligatory on you such as prayers,<br />

fasting, and the rest of the religious duties decided by Allah. Pay the due zekat to those who<br />

deserve it. For surely Abu ‘Abd Allah said: ‘O Mufaddal, say to your <strong>com</strong>panions: ‘Pay zekat to<br />

those who deserve it; and I guarantee what they pay.’ You should follow the family of<br />

Muhammed, may Allah bless him and his family. Correct discord; do not backbite each other; visit<br />

each other; love each other; do good to each other; meet each other; talk with each other; do not<br />

harbor (malice) against each other. Beware of deserting one another; and beware of forsaking<br />

each other, for surely I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah say: ‘When two men of our Shi‘ites leave one<br />

another as a sign of abandonment, I will renounce one of them and curse him; I most time do that<br />

to them both.’ So Mi‘tib[1] asked him: ‘May I be your ransom, this concerns the oppressor, then<br />

what is about the oppressed?’ And he replied: ‘Because he does not ask his brother to visit him. I<br />

heard my father say: ‘When two of our Shi‘ites dispute with each other and they leave each other,<br />

then let the oppressed <strong>com</strong>e back to his friend and say to him: ‘My brother, I am the oppressor.’<br />

That the abandonment between them may <strong>com</strong>e to an end. Surely Allah, the Blessed and the<br />
