Imam, peace be on him, has mentioned in his speech, "As for that your bodies have no value<br />

except the Garden; therefore do not sell them for other than it," is that it is inappropriate to sell<br />

the bodies for something other than the garden. The author of the book al‐Wafee has narrated<br />

from his teacher an explanation to the statement of the Imam; the text of the explanation is as<br />

follows: "Surely, bodies decrease day by day; and that is because the souls from them head for<br />

another world, so if the soul is happy, then the purpose of one's effort in this world and the<br />

devotion of his bodily life are for Allah, glory belongs to Him, and for the <strong>com</strong>fort of the Gardens.<br />

That is because he follows the way of guidance and righteousness as if that he sold his body for<br />

the Garden as a bargain with Allah, the Most High, and for this reason Allah has created him. If it<br />

(the soul) is unhappy, then the purpose of his effort and the devotion of his fixed term and his life<br />

span is for associating with Satan and the chastisement of the fires. That is because he follows the<br />

way of error as if that he sold his body for the perishing lusts and animal pleasures that will<br />

be<strong>com</strong>e burning fires, that are today hidden and concealed from the senses of the inhabitants of<br />

the world, and that will appear on the Day of Judgment, And the hell shall be made manifest to<br />

him who sees, as a bargain with Satan; and those who treated (it) as a lie were lost."[1]<br />

Imam Musa, peace be on him, has said: "O Hisham, surely the Commander of the faithful, peace<br />

be on him, has said: 'Surely, among the qualities of the sane is that he must have three qualities:<br />

He answers when he is questioned. He utters when the people fall short of speaking. And he<br />

suggests an opinion that sets right his people. So whoever has nothing of these three qualities,<br />

then he is foolish.<br />

"Surely, the Commander of the faithful (Imam 'Ali), peace be on him, has said: 'None sits in front<br />

of the assembly except the one who has these three qualities or one of them. If he has nothing of<br />

them and sits (in front of the assembly), then he is foolish.' "Al‐Hasan b. 'Ali, peace be on him, has<br />

said: 'If you request the needs, then request them from those qualified to them.' He was asked:<br />

'Who are those qualified to them?' 'Those of whom Allah has given an account in His Book and<br />

mentioned them: Only those possessed of understanding will mind.' He has said: 'They are the<br />

possessors of intellects.'<br />

"And 'Ali b. al‐Husayn, peace be on him, has said: 'Sitting with the righteous brings about<br />

righteousness; the morals of (religious) scholars increase reason; obeying the just rulers perfects<br />

exaltedness; investing money perfects generosity; guiding the seeker of advice fulfilling boons;<br />

refraining from harm <strong>com</strong>pletes reason and relieves the body sooner or later. "O Hisham, surely<br />

the sane do not talk with him who accuses them of lying. They do not ask him who prevents them.<br />

They do not promise that which they do not fulfill. They do not hope for that through which they<br />

are scolded. And they do not undertake that which they miss because they have no ability (to<br />

undertake it)."<br />
