CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE SHIITE OF THE WORLD ON THE OCCASION OF BIRTHDAY OF IMAM HADI PEACE BE UPON HIM

Imam Hadi (p.b.u.h.) is the tenth star in the sky of Imamate and the 12^th jewel of the sea of innocence, the sun of science and attainment in the dark period of Abbasid oppressors. The great Imam and the innocent respectful leader having been praised by Almighty God in the narration of Loh as follows: “Finally, I will make prosperous son of Javad. I mean Ali who is my friend and supporter and a witness among my creatures and trustee of my narrations”.

The behaviors of Imam Hadi (p.b.u.h.) at different dimensions, provides for good lessens for the wise men who seek prosperity. To enjoy the same, we mention some models of behaviors of that great Imam.

One of the Shiite named: Aboumousa says: “One day I went to visit Imam Hadi (p.b.u.h.) and said: Oh! My Lord! He (Motevakel Abbasi) has dismissed me and has stopped my salary and has disturbed me; just because he has been aware that I am a friend and a Shiite to you. If you ask him to be merciful to me, he will accept your demand, it shall be so kind of you if you ask Motevakel Abbasi to help me.” Imam prescribed: “Don’t be sad! You will be helped upon God’s Will.”

Aboumousa says: that day ended in night. In the same evening, a few men were dispatched by Motevakel to my home and called me. I exited home and saw that Fath Ibn Khaghan (minister of Motevakel) has stood beside the door. He said: “what has happened that this man (Motevakel) has bothered me tonight to call you?!”

Aboumousa says: “I went to home of Motevakel, accompanied by Fath Ibn Khaghan, I saw that he was sitting at his own bench. Just as he saw me, he said: “Oh! Aboumousa! We neglected you and you forgot us, what do you need?” I replied: “ That bond, that tuision, that sum of money, and so and so….” I was so much surprised and told to Fath Ibn Khaghan: “Does Imam Hadi come here?” he said: “No!” I asked: “Does Imam Hadi send a letter to Motevakel?” He replied: “No”

I went to do my own choirs. Fath Ibn Khaghan followed me and told me: “Doubtlessly!  You asked Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) to pray for you and that’s why Motevakel has become kind to you and has paid your needs and your salary. I ask you to request Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) to pray for me too.”

Aboumousa says: “ Then I met Imam. Meeting me, he said: “It seems that you are quite happy and satisfied.” I answered: “Yes! My Lord! I am so under your graces and kindness. Of course, they have told me you have not met Motevakle to ask him help me.” Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) prescribed: “Almighty God knows that we will not shelter anyone in his needs, except to his sacred being and will only rely on God when dilemmas occur. Whenever we as him help us, he shall fulfill it. We fear to consider anyone else, so that God will disregard us.” I begged him: “Fath ibn Khaghan has requested me to demand you to pray for him.” Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) prescribed: “Fath is our friend in appearance; but he keeps far from us in reality. Only the prayers shall be fulfilled for one who deserves it. whenever you are pure and loyal in obedience of God, when you acknowledge truthfulness of prophet of God (peace be upon him and his progeny) and our being right, then you will ask God something and God shall not deprive you.”

Resorting to God is one of the stages of the religion, one of the ranks of the faithful men. A resorting having been commanded in religion, comprises the fact that heart has trusted God in all the affairs and has been disconnected from whoever except Him. Therefore, there is no contradiction between heart’s resort and asking for a means, provided that the man does not rely on the means or mediator and feels peaceful only in the name of God. Man shall not forget that Almighty God will grant to him his demand through a means he does not even think of, just as He might remove the effect of the mediator so that he would not have any natural impact.

One who is truly faithful that there is no source of act, but God and there is no power except from Him and God holds complete power and science so much so that it satisfies His creatures, and graces the creatures in groups or individuals, one who knows that there is no rank and power higher than His science and there is no consideration, but that of Him, shall rely on God by his heart and shall not pay any attention to anyone else whether in appearance or at heart.

But, one who does not feel it at his own heart, he is either weak in his faith, or sick at heart, which means that fear sometimes prevail heart of man and is filled with delusion; because sometimes, heat, lacking any defect in his faith, will suffer from fear and alarm. It seems that it fears sleeping besides one has died, while the dead man is nothing more than corpse and Man does not fear other creatures.

Thus, resorting does no occur except by power of heart and faith, because peace and deliberation are fulfilled by these two forces. One, whose faith is completed, will lose his faith to the mediators and whether he is seeking profits or not, God shall grace him in a way he does not think of, however, he will not stop it for God’s sake, though, while he is gaining profits, he will not rely on anyone else, but Almighty God.

It has been narrated from Imam Sadegh (peace be upon him):

“Everyone has been granted three things, three things have not been taken back from him. One who was granted praying, was also granted fulfillment. One who was granted grace, was also granted abundance, and one who was granted resorting, was also granted content, since Almighty God prescribed: “One who rely on God, God will be sufficient for him.”
