IMAM JAAFAR BIN MOHAMMAD (ASWS), said:
Those who take refuge with ALLAH (SWT) will be guided. Those who entrust ALLAH (SWT) will need no one else. Those who are satisfied with their sustenance will be enriched. Those who live piously and fear ALLAH (SWT) will be saved.
O Slaves of ALLAH (SWT) ! Live as piously as you can and obey ALLAH (SWT). Leave the leadership to those who are qualified and you will achieve salvation.
“Be patient, verily ALLAH (SWT) is with the patient” (8:46), “And be not like those who have forsaken ALLAH (SWT); and He made them forget themselves. Such are the transgressors. Not equal are the inmates of the fire and the dwellers of Paradise. The dwellers of Paradise are the achievers” (59:19-20), and they are the Shia of ALI (ASWS).
Then JAAFAR BIN MOHAMMAD (ASWS) explained the above verse.
My father (IMAM MOHAMMAD BIN ALI (ASWS)) narrated from his father (ASWS), from UM SALMAH (SA), one of the wives of the PROPHET (SAWW), who said:
The MESSENGER OF ALLAH (SAWW) read this verse, “Not equal are the inmates of the fire and the dwellers of Paradise. The dwellers of Paradise are the achievers” (59:20).
So I (UM SALMAH (SA)) asked the PROPHET (SAWW), “Who are the inmates of the fire?’
The MESSENGER OF ALLAH (SAWW) replied, “They are those who hate ALI (ASWS) and his progeny and reduce their true status.”
“Who are the dwellers of Paradise?” I asked.
“The Shia of ALI (ASWS) .” replied the MESSENGER OF ALLAH (SAWW).
