Surely, these young men come to us with false sayings attributed to you! So, Ja`far (as) said to him: What is that, Sandal? He said: It came to us from you that you narrated to them that Allah becomes angry with what angers Fatima, and He becomes pleased with what pleases her. He said: So, Ja`far (as) said: O Sandal! Do you not narrate that Allah becomes angry with what angers His believing servant, and He becomes pleased with what pleases him? He said: Of course. He said: Then, why do you deny that Fatima (sa) was a believer, and that Allah becomes angry with what angers her, and that He becomes pleased with what pleases her?!

While he was standing at the door, he commanded that Sa`d was to be washed. When he was embalmed, shrouded, and carried on his coffin, the Messenger of Allah (sw) followed him without sandals and without a cloak. He would take to the right of the coffin once and to the left of the coffin once until he ended up at the grave. So, the Messenger of Allah (sw) entered the grave and settled it, saying: Give me stones, and give me fresh soil to fill in the gaps. <br>When he finished preparing his grave, the Messenger of Allah (sw) said: Surely, I know that he will be afflicted, and that affliction will reach him, but Allah loves a servant that does an act that He proscribed. When he evened the dust on him, the mother of Sa`d said: O Sa`d! Congratulations to you on Paradise. So, the Messenger of Allah (sw) said: O mother of Sa`d! Stop, and do not make assumptions for your Lord, for Sa`d has been afflicted with constriction [in his grave]. He said: So, the Messenger of Allah (sw) returned, and the people returned. So, they said to him: O Messenger of Allah! We have seen you do for Sa`d that which we have not seen you do for anyone else. You followed his funeral without sandals and without a cloak. So, he (sw) said: The angels were without their cloaks and without their sandals, so I did the same. They said: You took to the right of the coffin once and to the left of the coffin once. He said: My hand was in the hand of Gabriel (as), and I went where he took me. They said: You commanded that he be washed, and you offered his funeral prayer, and placed him in his grave, then you said: “Sa`d has been afflicted with constriction.” So, he (sw) said: Yes. He had poor character when dealing with his family.

Sinan from `Abdullah b. Muskan from Abi `Abdillah al-Sadiq (as). He said: The most deserving of people to hope that the people become rich are the poor, because if the people become rich, then they will become needless of their wealth [and they would give it out more freely]. The most deserving of people to hope that the people become rectified are those with flaws, because if they become rectified, they will stop following up on their flaws. The most deserving of people to hope that the people become forbearing are the fools who need to be pardoned for their foolishness.  However, the poor hope for the people to become poor, those with flaws hope that the people become flawed, and the fools hope that the people become foolish; even though poverty brings about stinginess, flaws cause people to find flaws in others, and foolishness brings about the sins.

9 - حدثنا أحمد بن هارون الفامي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن جعفر بن بطة، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إسحاق بن سعد، عن بكر بن محمد، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام)، قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): الناس في الجمعة على ثلاث منازل: رجل شهدها بإنصات وسكون قبل الامام وذلك كفارة لذنوبه من الجمعة إلى الجمعة الثانية وزيادة ثلاثة أيام، لقول الله عز وجل: (من جاء بالحسنة فله عشر أمثالها) (4)، ورجل شهدها بلغط (5) وملق وقلق فذلك حظه، ورجل شهدها والامام يخطب فقام يصلي فقد أخطأ السنة، وذاك ممن إذا سأل الله عز وجل، إن شاء أعطاه، وإن شاء حرمه (1).
