Imam Ali saw his stolen armor in the hands of a Christian man. He brought him before the judge and he himself sat next to the Christian man.
Then he said: This is my armor. The Christian man said this is my armor, but Amir al-Mu’minin does not lie either.
The judge said to Imam Ali: Do you have any witnesses?
When Imam Ali (peace be upon him) challenged Muawiyah to a duel during the Battle of Saffin so that people could be spared from the war with the death of one of them.
Amr ibn al-As said to Muawiyah: “Imam Ali has been fair to you, and it would be best if you yourself confronted him.”
The Messenger of God (pbuh&h) stated, “Don’t consider the seditions of the Last Era as malevolent! It’s because, they can ruin the hypocrites!â€
[Yes,] he mentioned that the seditions are needed to exist. He stated:
In Nahj al BilÄqah, ImÄm AlÄ« (pbuh) stated: In fact, he [ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr)] has clothed with the wisdom, and He has all the manners […]
*There is a need for us to be connected to His Excellency, through reciting honest Du’a al-Baha1. We are expected to hold the religious meetings, for reciting all the worshipping and Mathur prayers2 which where stated by the Excellency.
*Our main Dawn prayer, is expected to be for ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr). It shouldn’t be recited in our language, but narrated from [Infallible] ImÄms. One of them, is the Adh Prayer3. The other, is ImÄm Riá¸Ä (pbuh)’s prayer for ImÄm ZamÄn (pbuh) which looks very important, to me. It is as follows:
None of my ancestors were under suspicion [by some of the Shiites], as much as me! (IkmÄl al- DÄ«n, Vol. 1, P. 222)
Similarly, most of the Shiites and the friends of ImÄm HÄdÄ« (pbuh) referred to ImÄm Ḥasan AskarÄ« (pbuh) as an ImÄm, after ImÄm HÄdÄ« (pbuh)’s martyrdom. But, a few people called the other son of ImÄm HÄdÄ« (pbuh), Ja’far ibn AlÄ« “Ja’far Kaddhab [liar]â€, as their ImÄm! Also, another group considered Sayyid Muḥammad who died at the time of ImÄm HÄdÄ« (pbuh), their ImÄm!
According to most hadiths, the number of companions of ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr) is 313, who will miraculously gather around the Imam in a day or night in Mecca from near and distant places. Among them will be the Prophet Jesus (Pbuh), some companions of the Prophet Muḥammad (Pbuh&hf) and Imams (Pbuth) such as Salman al-Farsi and MÄlik b. HÄrith al-NakhaÊ¿Ä«. Women are also among the companions of the His Majesty.
the ImÄm wrote a nice letter in Latin language and in Latin style handwriting. Then, he sealed it with his seal. He also took out a sack that was full of gold and had two hundred and twenty Ashrafi1. He stated, ‘Take this letter and gold, head to BaqdÄd. Then you should be present at such bridge on such day.
When the ships that carry the captives landed on the shore, you could see a crowd of bondmen. Also, a group of deputies of Bani AbbÄs’s Emirs and a few Arab young men will gather around them. All day long, you have to be on the lookout for the slaver named “Amroo ibn YazÄ«dâ€. You will wait until the time, he introduces the bondwoman who has such and such features… she will wear silk clothes.
Not only did religion provide some programs for us to have a calm life, but also it persisted in it. This calmness has various aspects: physical, mental, personal, social, vocational, and non-vocational. It also includes the ways to eat, wear clothes, have private affairs among the married ones, sleep calmly, relationships with neighbors and friends.
On the whole, if you want to figure out whether you are close to God or not, you can see whether you are calm or not!
We can be a role model for people of the world, by paving the path of ImÄm Huá¹£ayn (pbuh); that is, we can live in such a way that people express, “The followers of ImÄm Huá¹£ayn (pbuh) are so chivalrous, calm, purely and delighted!†Tranquility and comfort are characteristics that belong to true life. Having a more comfortable life is not only a personal benefit, but also it is a social, historical, and MahdavÄ« [related to ImÄm ZamÄn (mGehr)] responsibility.
