Hadith 463
۞
Hadith.5432 - Al-Husayn ibn Saʿid narrated that Al-Husayn ibn Ulwan reported from Amr ibn Thabit from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as):
"O' Ali (as), I advise you regarding certain traits concerning yourself, so preserve them."
Then Prophet (sw) said: "O' Allah (swt), assist him!
Seek truthfulness - never let a lie leave your mouth.
And seek Piety - never allow yourself to commit a betrayal.
And seek Fear of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic - as if you see Him (swt).
And seek Abundant weeping from the fear of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic - for every tear shed, a house will be built for you in Paradise.
And seek Sacrificing your wealth and blood in defense of your religion.
And seek Adhering to my tradition in prayer, fasting, and charity.
As for prayer, it is fifty rak'ahs.
As for fasting, it is three days in every month; a Thursday at the beginning (of the month), a Wednesday in the middle, and a Thursday at the end (of the month).
As for charity, it should be given to your utmost ability until you say, 'I have gone to excess,' though you will not have gone to excess.
You must uphold the night prayer, you must uphold the night prayer, you must uphold the night prayer.
You must uphold the midday prayer (Salat Al-Zawal).
You must recite the Quran in all conditions.
You must raise your hands in prayer and move them in supplication.
You must use the siwak (tooth-stick) before every ablution and before every prayer.
You must adopt good morals - embrace them.
You must avoid bad morals - stay away from them.
If you fail to do so, then blame none but yourself."
