Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْخَیْرُ مَعْقُودٌ بِنَوَاصِی الْخَیْلِ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The reward till the Day of Judgment is tied to the forehead of a horse.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمِّی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا اشْتَرَیْتَ دَابَّهً فَإِنَّ مَنْفَعَتَهَا لَکَ وَ رِزْقَهَا عَلَی اللَّهِ.

3. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from his father from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Ali b. Riyab from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If you buy a domestic animal you will benefit from it and its sustenance is with Allah.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ بَکْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ الْجَعْفَرِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْکَاظِمَ ع یَقُولُ مَنِ ارْتَبَطَ فَرَساً أَشْقَرَ أَغَرَّ وَ أَقْرَحَ فَإِنْ کَانَ أَغَرَّ سَائِلَ الْغُرَّهِ بِهِ وَضَحٌ فِی قَوَائِمِهِ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَیَّ لَمْ یَدْخُلْ بَیْتَهُ فَقْرٌ مَا دَامَ ذَلِکَ الْفَرَسُ فِیهِ وَ مَا دَامَ أَیْضاً فِی مِلْکِهِ لَا یَدْخُلُ بَیْتَهُ حَنَقٌ قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ مَنِ ارْتَبَطَ فَرَساً لِیُرْهِبَ بِهِ عَدُوّاً أَوْ یَسْتَعِینَ بِهِ عَلَی جَمَالِهِ لَمْ یَزَلْ مُعَاناً عَلَیْهِ أَبَداً مَا دَامَ فِی مِلْکِهِ وَ لَا یَدْخُلُ بَیْتَهُ خَصَاصَهٌ.

4. It is narrated that Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “One who domesticates a horse having white forehead or a part white for the sake of Allah, his house will not have poverty as long as the horse is present in it. He will not face any difficulty as long as this horse is with him.” It is also narrated that Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “One who keeps a horse to scare or destroy an enemy, gets help as long as the horse is with him and his house will not have poverty.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ أَوْ مَنْزِلِ غَیْرِهِ فَلَقِیَ فَرَساً أَشْقَرَ بِهِ وَضَحٌ أَوْ کَانَتْ لَهُ غُرَّهٌ سَائِلٌ فَهُوَ الْعَیْشُ کُلُّ الْعَیْشِ لَمْ یَلْقَ فِی ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمِ إِلَّا سُرُوراً وَ إِنْ تَوَجَّهَ فِی حَاجَهٍ فَلَقِیَ الْفَرَسَ قَضَی اللَّهُ حَاجَتَهُ.

5. And from the previous chain from Sulayman b. Ja’far al-Ja’fari from Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (a.s.) who said: “One who sees a horse having a part of its body white while coming out of his or someone’s house, he will have lots of happiness on that day. If he is going for some work and sees such a horse on his way, Allah will accomplish that task and fulfill his desire.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَی الْیَقْطِینِیِّ عَنِ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِیدِ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا رَکِبَ الرَّجُلُ الدَّابَّهَ فَسَمَّی رَدِفَهُ مَلَکٌ یَحْفَظُهُ حَتَّی یَنْزِلَ فَإِنْ رَکِبَ وَ لَمْ یُسَمِّ رَدِفَهُ شَیْطَانٌ فَیَقُولُ لَهُ تَغَنَّ فَإِنْ قَالَ لَا أُحْسِنُ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَلَا یَزَالُ یَتَمَنَّی حَتَّی یَنْزِلَ وَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا رَکِبَ الدَّابَّهَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِی هَدانا لِهذا وَ سُبْحانَ الَّذِی سَخَّرَ لَنا هذا وَ ما کُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِینَ إِلَّا حُفِظَتْ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ وَ دَابَّتُهُ حَتَّی یَنْزِلَ.

1. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who says Bismillaah before mounting an animal, an angel sits behind that person and protects him till he gets down from that animal. However if he does not say Bismillaah, the Satan sits behind him and asks him to sing. If he says that he does know how to sing he asks him to make a wish. Now the person continuously goes on wishing for something or the other till he gets down. One who recites: Bismillaahi wa laa h’aula wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil h’amdu lillaahilladhee hadaanaa lihaadhaa wa sub- h’aanalladhee sakhkhara lanaa haadhaa wa maa kunnaa lahu muqrineen, he and his mount reach the destination safely.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ آدَمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ دَابَّهٍ عُرِّفَ بِهَا خَمْسَ وَقَفَاتٍ إِلَّا کَانَتْ مِنْ نَعَمِ الْجَنَّهِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “If an animal travels for Hajj five times, it is like a camel of Paradise.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْهَیْثَمِ بْنِ أَبِی مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ شَیْخٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا یُکَنَّی بِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْحُمَّی رَائِدُ الْمَوْتِ وَ سِجْنُ اللَّهِ فِی أَرْضِهِ وَ فَوْرُهَا وَ حَرُّهَا مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ وَ هِیَ حَظُّ کُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنَ النَّارِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Fever is a spy of death and a prison of Allah on earth. High fever is from Hell and a part of fire for the believer.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاشَانِیِّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سُفْیَانَ بْنِ عُیَیْنَهَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع قَالَ: نِعْمَ الْوَجَعُ الْحُمَّی تُعْطِی کُلَّ عُضْوٍ قِسْطَهُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ لَا خَیْرَ فِیمَنْ لَا یُبْتَلَی.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ali b. Muhammad al-Qashani from al-Qasim b. Muhammad from Sulayman b. Dawud from Sufyan b. U’yaynah from al-Zuhri from Ali b. al-Hussain (a.s.) who said: “Fever is a good disease. It gives a part of suffering to each and every part of body. Not getting involved in it has no good.”

حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی یُوسُفُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حُمَّ حُمَّی وَاحِدَهً تَنَاثَرَتِ الذُّنُوبُ مِنْهُ کَوَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ فَإِنْ أَنَّ عَلَی فِرَاشِهِ فَأَنِینُهُ تَسْبِیحٌ وَ صِیَاحُهُ تَهْلِیلٌ وَ تَقَلُّبُهُ عَلَی فِرَاشِهِ کَمَنْ یَضْرِبُ بِسَیْفِهِ فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ أَقْبَلَ یَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ بَیْنَ إِخْوَانِهِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ کَانَ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ فَطُوبَی لَهُ إِنْ تَابَ وَ وَیْلٌ لَهُ إِنْ عَادَ وَ الْعَافِیَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَیْنَا.

3. It was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Ahmad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Yusif b. Ismail through his chain to him who said: “If a believer has fever once, his sins are destroyed like dry leaves fall off in the wind. His cries on his bed are like Tasbih and moans like praising Allah. His turning left and right is like fighting with sword in the way of Allah. If he worships Allah along with his brothers and friends, he will be forgiven. If he repents, he is indeed fortunate and if he breaks repentance, he is ill-fated. Any way, we prefer his well being and salvation.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سُفْیَانَ بْنِ عُیَیْنَهَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِیَّ بْنَ الْحُسَیْنِ زَیْنَ الْعَابِدِینَ ع یَقُولُ حُمَّی لَیْلَهٍ کَفَّارَهُ سَنَهٍ وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّ أَلَمَهَا یَبْقَی فِی الْجَسَدِ سَنَهً.

1. It is narrated that Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) said, “Having fever for a night compensates for sins of a year because its pain remains in the body for a year.”
