The Sayings And Preaching of Al-Imam Ali (p.b.u.h) – Part 93

Al-Imam Ali (p.b.u.h), said:

Hadith n. 396

396. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: Let it be death but not humiliation. Let it be little but not through others. He who does not get while sitting will not get by standing either. The world has two days one for you and the other against you. When the day is for you, do not feel proud but when it is against you endure it.

Hadith n. 397

397. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: The best scent is musk; its weight is light while its odour is fragrant.

Hadith n. 398

398. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: Put off boasting, give up self-conceit and remember your grave.

Hadith n. 399

399. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: The child has a right on the .father while the father too has a right on the child. The right of the father on the child is that the latter should obey the former in every matter save in committing sins of Allah, the Glorified, while the right of the child on the father is that he should give him a beautiful name, give him good training and teach him the Qur’an.

Hadith n. 400

400. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: Evil effect of sight is right; charm is right; sorcery is right, and fa’l (auguring good) is right, while tiyarah (auguring evil) 89 is not right, and spreading of a disease from one to the other is not right. Scent gives pleasure, honey gives pleasure, riding gives pleasure and looking at greenery gives pleasure.
