Hadiths Of Characteristics of the Shia

:

مَا شِيعَتُنَا إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ وَ أَطَاعَهُ وَ مَا كَانُوا يُعْرَفُونَ إِلَّا بِالتَّوَاضُع‏ … ِ وَ تَعَهُّدِ الْجِيرَانِ مِنَ الْفُقَرَاءِ وَ ذَوِي الْمَسْكَنَةِ وَ الْغَارِمِينَ وَ الْأَيْتَام‏ … ِ وَ كَفِّ الْأَلْسُنِ عَنِ النَّاسِ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَ كَانُوا أُمَنَاءَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ فِي الْأَشْيَاءِ.

:

Indeed, our followers [Shia] are only those who are consciously wary of their duty to Allah and obey Him, who are known solely for their humbleness…, taking care of their poor neighbors, the destitute, those in debt and the orphans… and [are known for] restraining their tongues from anything but good when speaking about people. And they are trusted in everything among their kinsfolk.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

لَا يَزُولُ قَدَمُ عَبْدٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ فِيمَا أَبْلَاهُ وَ عَنْ عُمُرِهِ فِيمَا أَفْنَاهُ وَ عَنْ مَالِهِ مِمَّا اكْتَسَبَهُ وَ فِيمَا أَنْفَقَهُ وَ عَنْ حُبِّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

On the Day of Resurrection, the feet of the servant will not slip until he is asked about four things: his years and how he spent them, his youth and how he wasted it, his wealth, whence he earned it and how he spent it, and our love, the people of the household (Ahl al-bayt).'

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إِنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ ذَاكَ أَنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ لَمْ يُورِثُوا دِرْهَماً وَ لَا دِينَاراً وَ إِنَّمَا أَوْرَثُوا أَحَادِيثَ مِنْ أَحَادِيثِهِمْ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهَا فَقَدْ أَخَذَ حَظّاً وَافِراً فَانْظُرُوا عِلْمَكُمْ هَذَا عَمَّنْ تَأْخُذُونَهُ فَإِنَّ فِينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فِي كُلِّ خَلَفٍ عُدُولًا يَنْفُونَ عَنْهُ تَحْرِيفَ الْغَالِينَ وَ انْتِحَالَ الْمُبْطِلِينَ وَ تَأْوِيلَ الْجَاهِلِينَ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Verily the scholars are the heirs of the prophets. And that is because the prophets did not bequeath gold and silver, rather they bequeathed their words and traditions. And one who grasps any of them has indeed secured an abundant gain. See who it is you take your knowledge from; for there exists, from among us [Ahl al-Bayt] in every generation, just individuals who negate the distortions of extremists, the fabrications of falsifiers and the [false] interpretations of the ignorant ones.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

لاَ تَصْلُحُ اَلْإِمَامَةُ إِلاَّ لِرَجُلٍ فِيهِ ثَلاَثُ خِصَالٍ وَرَعٌ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنْ مَعَاصِي اَللَّهِ وَ حِلْمٌ يَمْلِكُ بِهِ غَضَبَهُ وَ حُسْنُ اَلْوِلاَيَةِ عَلَى مَنْ يَلِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَهُمْ كَالْوَالِدِ اَلرَّحِيمِ. وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِلرَّعِيَّةِ كَالْأَبِ اَلرَّحِيمِ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

None is worthy of leadership except for a man who has three characteristics: piety that prevents him from disobeying Allah, clemency with which he controls his anger, and maintaining excellent guardianship towards his people, such that he treats them like a compassionate father.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ اللَّهِ‏ لَوْ أُعْطِيتُ الْأَقَالِيمَ السَّبْعَةَ بِمَا تَحْتَ أَفْلَاكِهَا عَلَى أَنْ أَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ فِي نَمْلَةٍ أَسْلُبُهَا جُلْبَ شَعِيرَةٍ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ وَ إِنَّ دُنْيَاكُمْ عِنْدِي لَأَهْوَنُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ فِي فَمِ جَرَادَةٍ تَقْضَمُهَا.

Imam Ali (as):

By Allah, if I was given all the seven domains with all that exists under its celestial spheres in order that I may disobey Allah to the extent of snatching a single grain of barley from an ant, I would not do it. Verily your world to me is more worthless than a leaf being gnawed at in the mouth of a locust.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

فَدَعُونِي أَكْتَفِي مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ بِمِلْحِي وَ أَقْرَاصِي فَبِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ أَرْجُو خَلَاصِي مَا لِعَلِيٍّ وَ نَعِيمٍ يَفْنَى وَ لَذَّةٍ تَنْحَتُهَا الْمَعَاصِي سَأَلْقَى وَ شِيعَتِي رَبَّنَا بِعُيُونٍ سَاهِرَةٍ، وَ بُطُونٍ خِمَاص‏

Imam Ali (as):

Let me suffice with salt and some loaves of bread out of [the comforts of] your world, for I see felicity to be secured only through God-wariness. What does Ali have to do with a bounty which is bound to perish and an enjoyment provided through sin? My Shia and I will meet our Lord with eyes which kept awake [at nights] and with empty stomachs.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ إِمَامَكُمْ قَدِ اِكْتَفَى مِنْ دُنْيَاهُ بِطِمْرَيْهِ وَ مِنْ طُعْمِهِ بِقُرْصَيْهِ .أَلَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَعِينُونِي بِوَرَعٍ وَ اِجْتِهَادٍ وَ عِفَّةٍ وَ سَدَادٍ . فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَنَزْتُ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ تِبْراً وَ لاَ اِدَّخَرْتُ مِنْ غَنَائِمِهَا وَفْراً وَ لاَ أَعْدَدْتُ لِبَالِي ثَوْبِي طِمْراً

Imam Ali (as):

Realize that your Imam has contented himself with two shabby pieces of clothes out of the (comforts of the) world and two loaves of bread for his meal. Certainly, you cannot live like that but at least assist me with piety, exertion, chastity and uprightness, because, by Allah, I have not treasured any gold from your world nor have I amassed plentiful wealth.

الامام الصادق «ع»- عن هشام بن سالم (محمد) قال: كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ «ع»إِذَا أَعْتَمَ وَ ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ شَطْرُهُ أَخَذَ جِرَاباً فِيهِ خُبْزٌ وَ لَحْمٌ وَ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْحَاجَةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَسَمَهُ فِيهِمْ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهُ فَلَمَّا مَضَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَدُوا ذَلِكَ فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ «ع».

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Hisham b. Salim narrated, 'When it was dark and part of the night had passed, Abu Abdillah (Imam al-Sadiq) (AS) would take a sack of bread, meat, and money, and carry it on his back to the needy of Medina. He would distribute it among them without them even recognizing him. When Abu Abdillah (AS) passed away, they missed the aid and realized that it had in fact been Abu Abdillah.'

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

النبي «ص»- لمّا نزلت هذه الآية (الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ‏ ..) قال: «اللَّه اكبر على إكمال الدين، و اتمام النّعمة، و رضا الرّبّ برسالتي، و ولاية عليّ بعدي»

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

When the verse ‘Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My favor upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion.’ was revealed, the prophet (s) said, “’God is greater’ for the perfection of religion, completion of the favor, and the Lord's approval of my mission and Ali’s custodianship after me.’

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

انْظُرْ ما بَلغَ بهِ عليٌّ عليه السلام عندَ رسولِ اللّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله ، فإنَّ عليّا عليه السلام إنّما بَلغَ ما بَلغَ بهِ عندَ رسولِ اللّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله بصِدقِ الحديثِ و أداءِ الأمانةِ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Look at the status Ali attained with the prophet (as), verily Ali reached the status he had with the prophet (s) through truthfulness in his speech and his prompt return of goods entrusted in his care.
