63 - مَا قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ اَلْبَاقِرُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى مَلاَئِكَةً وَكَّلَهُمْ بِنَبَاتِ اَلْأَرْضِ مِنَ اَلشَّجَرِ وَ اَلنَّخْلِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ وَ لاَ نَخْلَةٍ إِلاَّ وَ مَعَهَا مِنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَكٌ يَحْفَظُهَا وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا وَ لَوْ لاَ أَنَّ مَعَهَا مَنْ يَمْنَعُهَا لَأَكَلَتْهَا اَلسِّبَاعُ وَ هَوَامُّ اَلْأَرْضِ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهَا ثَمَرَتُهَا.

Hadith.63 - Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, has appointed angels to protect the vegetation of the earth, including trees and palm trees. There is no tree or palm except that there is an angel with it from Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, who guards it. If it were not for the presence of those angels to protect them, wild animals and pests would consume their fruits."

64 - وَ إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ خَلاَءَهُ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ أَوْ نَخْلَةٍ قَدْ أَثْمَرَتْ لِمَكَانِ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ اَلْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِهَا» قَالَ «وَ لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُ اَلشَّجَرُ وَ اَلنَّخْلُ أُنْساً إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِ حَمْلُهُ لِأَنَّ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةَ تَحْضُرُهُ.

Hadith.64 – (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) ) has narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) prohibited any Muslim from relieving himself under a tree or palm that has borne fruit due to the presence of the angels assigned to them. Imam (as) said: 'That is why trees and palms seem luster when they bear fruit, for the angels are present there.'".

65 - وَ رُوِيَ: أَنَّ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَ لاَ يَسْتَنْجِي وَقَالَ كَالْمُتَعَجِّبِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ سَمَّاهُ «بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ رِيحٌ اِسْتَنْجَى.

Hadith.65 - It was narrated that Abu Al-Hasan Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) would awaken from his sleep, perform ablution, and not perform istinja. He expressed astonishment at a man whom he referred to, saying, "I have heard that when he passes gas, he performs istinja."

66 - قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلصَّلاَةُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَثْلاَثٍ ثُلُثٌ طَهُورٌ وَ ثُلُثٌ رُكُوعٌ وَ ثُلُثٌ سُجُودٌ.

Hadith.66 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The prayer consists of three parts: one-third is for purification, one-third is for bowing (ruku), and one-third is for prostration (sujud) "

Hadith.67 - Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "When the time for prayer enters, purification (ablution) and the prayer become obligatory, and there is no prayer without purification."

68 - قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اِفْتِتَاحُ اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلْوُضُوءُ وَ تَحْرِيمُهَا اَلتَّكْبِيرُ وَ تَحْلِيلُهَا اَلتَّسْلِيمُ.

Hadith.68 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), said: "The initiation of prayer is purification (ablution), its prohibition is the takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar'), and its permissibility is the Tasleem (saying 'Assalamu Alaikum')."

69 - قَالَ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لِلْغُسْلِ صَاعٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَ لِلْوُضُوءِ مُدٌّ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَ صَاعُ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ خَمْسَةُ أَمْدَادٍ وَ اَلْمُدُّ وَزْنُ مِائَتَيْنِ وَ ثَمَانِينَ دِرْهَماً وَ اَلدِّرْهَمُ سِتَّةُ دَوَانِيقَ وَ اَلدَّانِقُ وَزْنُ سِتِّ حَبَّاتٍ وَ اَلْحَبَّةُ وَزْنُ حَبَّتَيْنِ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ مِنْ أَوْسَاطِ اَلْحَبِّ لاَ مِنْ صِغَارِهِ وَ لاَ مِنْ كِبَارِهِ.

Hadith.69 - Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) said: "For ghusl (ritual washing), a saa' of water is required, and for wudu (ablution), a mud of water is sufficient. The saa' of The Prophet (sw) is five amdad (measures), and the mud weighs two hundred and eighty dirhams. One dirham is six danaq (small units), and one danaq weighs six grains. The grain should be from medium-quality barley, not from the small or large types”.

70 - وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «اَلْوُضُوءُ مُدٌّ وَ اَلْغُسْلُ صَاعٌ وَ سَيَأْتِي أَقْوَامٌ بَعْدِي يَسْتَقِلُّونَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ عَلَى خِلاَفِ سُنَّتِي وَ اَلثَّابِتُ عَلَى سُنَّتِي مَعِي فِي حَظِيرَةِ اَلْقُدْسِ.

Hadith.70 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "Ablution (wudu) is a mud (a specific measure), and ghusl (ritual washing) is a saa' (a larger measure). There will come people after me who will underestimate these amounts, and those will be contrary to my Sunnah. The one who adheres to my Sunnah will be with me in the enclosure of holiness (Paradise)."
