Proper Social Transaction

Pearl of Wisdom

Imam asked Nawf al-Bakali, 'Do you know who my shi'a are, Nawf?' to which he replied, 'By Allah, no.' Imam replied, my shi'a have parched lips and empty stomachs. They are those whose faces disclose asceticism, for they are ascetics by night, lions by day.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 28, no. 95

Proper Social Transaction

Behaving correctly with Almighty Allah's creation without disobedience to Him comes from Allah's increased favour to His bondsmen. Whoever is humble to Allah in his heart behaves well openly.

Keep company with people for the sake of Allah, not for your portion of something which belongs to this world or to seek position or for showing off or to increase your own reputation.

Do not cross the limits of the Law for the sake of eminence and fame: they will not profit you at all, and you will miss the next world without gaining any benefit.
