The Prophetic Hadiths in Al-Khisal

By: Mohammad Javad Shomali
Al-Khisal (lit. traits of character) of Shaykh Saduq is one of the most valuable early sources of hadiths (narrations) from Prophet Muhammad and his household. Shaykh Saduq, Muhammad b. Babawayh al-Qummi (d.329/940), was an outstanding jurist and a prominent scholar of hadith. He was given the title "Imad Al-Din" by Shaykh Tusi.
In Al-Khisal, Shaykh Saduq has prepared a collection of traditions in an interesting way. The main themes of the traditions are ethics, manners and good characteristics. All the traditions are presented with a complete record of transmission. Furthermore, they are divided into different groups according to numbers e.g. all the traditions related to the number one are gathered in one part then traditions related to number two and so on. It starts with one and ends with one million. Al-Khisal seems to be the first on record to be compiled with this style. Moreover, Al-Khisal is a great encyclopedia on Islamic knowledge and many authoritative works on Shi'ite traditions such as Bihar Al-Anwar have cited it as a reference.
The following article is a collection of traditions from the Prophet, selected from Parts One to Twelve of Al-Khisal.

Characteristics related to the Number One

Abandoning the present to attain the promised

ØæÈی áãä Êј ÔåæÉ ÍÇÖÑÉ áãæÚæÏ áã یÑå

Blessed be the one who abandons a current tangible desire to attain an unseen promised reward.[1]

A believer's honor is in one practice and his glory is in one characteristic
It is reported from Prophet Muhammad (S) that the Gabriel went to him and said:
ÌÇÁ ÌÈÑÆیá Úáیå ÇáÓáÇã Åáی ÇáäÈی áی Çááå Úáیå æ Âáå ÝÞÇá: “یÇ ãÍãÏ ÚÔ ãÇ ÔÊ ÝÇä˜ ãیÊ æ ÇÍÈÈ ãÇ ÔÊ ÝÇä˜ ãÝÇÑÞå æ ÇÚãá ãÇ ÔÊ ÝÇä˜ ãÌÒی Èå æ ÇÚáã Çä ÇáÔÑÝ ÇáÑÌá ÞیÇãå ÈÇáیá æ ÚÒå ÇÓÊÛäÇÄå Úä ÇáäÇÓ
."
O Muhammad! Live for as long as you want. You will finally die. Love whatever you want. You will finally be separated from it. Do whatever you want. You will finally be rewarded for it. Know that a man's honour is in his staying up at night and his dignity is in his independence from people. [2]

A characteristic that constitutes half of the religion
ÍÓä ÇáÎáÞ äÝ ÇáÏیä

Being good-tempered constitutes half of the religion.[3]

A characteristic that is the best thing given to a Muslim
Þیá áÑÓæá Çááå áی Çááå Úáیå æ Âáå: “ãÇ ÇÝÖá ãÇ ÇÚØی ÇáãÑÁ ÇáãÓáã¿” ÞÇá: “ÇáÎáÞ ÇáÍÓä
".
God's Prophet was asked: "What is the best thing given to a Muslim?" He replied: "A good temper".[4]

Characteristics related to the Number Two

Two blessings which are normally taken for granted

äÚãÊÇä ã˜ÝæÑÊÇä: ÇáÇãä æÇáÚÇÝیÉ

Two blessings are taken for granted, security and health. [5]

There is no good in this life except for two kinds of men
áÇ ÎیÑ Ýی ÇáÚیÔ ÇáÇ áÑÌáیä: ÚÇáã ãØÇÚ¡ Ãæ ãÓÊãÚ æÇÚ

There is no good in this life except for two kinds of men: a knowledgeable one who is obeyed and an obedient student. [6]

Seek refuge from two characteristics
ÞÇá ÑÓæá Çááå áی Çááå Úáیå æ Âáå ÃÚæÐ ÈÇááå ãä ˜ÝÑ æ ÇáÏیä¡ Þیá یÇ ÑÓæá Çááå ÃیÚÏá ÇáÏیä ÈÇá˜ÝÑ¿ ÝÞÇá äÚã

God's Prophet (S) said: "I seek refuge in God from disbelief and debt." He was told, "O Prophet of God! Is debt equal to disbelief?" He replied: "Yes". [7]

Whoever possesses two characteristics is a true believer
ãä æÇÓی ÇáÝÞیÑ æ ÇäÝ ÇáäÇÓ ãä äÝÓå ÝÐᘠãæãä ÍÞÇ

Whoever is sympathetic with the poor and treats the people fairly is a true believer.[8]

Saying what is right under two conditions
ãÇ ÇäÝÞ ãÄãä ãä äÝÞÉ åی ÇÍÈ Çáی Çááå ÚÒ æ Ìá ãä ÇáÞæá ÇáÍÞ Ýی ÇáÑÖÇ æ ÇáÛÖÈ
.
Nothing that a believer does is more loved by God, the Honourable and Exalted, than saying what is right whether he is pleased or angry.[9]

Two characteristics loved by God in the Heavens and by the people on Earth
ÞÇá ÑÌá ááäÈی áی Çááå Úáیå æ Âáå: “یÇ ÑÓæá Çááå Úáãäی ÔیÆÇ ÅÐÇ ÃäÇ ÝÚáÊå ÃÍÈäی Çááå ãä ÇáÓãÇÁ æ ÃÍÈäی ÇáäÇÓ ãä ÇáÇÑÖ” ÝÞÇá áå: “ÇÑÛÈ ÝیãÇ ÚäÏ Çááå ÚÒ æ Ìá یÍȘ Çááå æ ÇÒåÏ ÝیãÇ ÚäÏ ÇáäÇÓ یÍȘ ÇáäÇÓ
."
A man asked the Prophet (S): "O Prophet of God! Please let me know something which I can do to be loved by God in the Heavens and by the people on Earth." The Prophet (S) told him: "Be inclined to what belongs to God to be loved by God, the Honourable and Exalted, and abstain from what belongs to people to be loved by people." [10]

Jealousy is not proper except in two circumstances
áÇ ÍÓÏ ÇáÇ Ýی ÇËäÊیä ÑÌá ÂÊÇå Çááå ãÇáÇ Ýåæ یäÝÞ ãäå ÂäÇÁ Çááیá æÂäÇÁ ÇáäåÇÑ æ ÑÌá ÂÊÇå Çááå ÇáÞÑÂä Ýåæ یÞæã Èå ÂäÇÁ Çááیá æ ÂäÇÁ ÇáäåÇÑ

It is not proper to be jealous except in two circumstances. The first case is to be jealous of a man to whom God has granted things and he gives some of them in charity day and night. The second case is to be jealous of a man to whom God has granted the Qur'an and he recites it during the day and the night.[11]

Two fears and two securities
ÞÇá Çááå ÊÈÇј æ ÊÚÇáی æ ÚÒÊی æ ÌáÇáی áÇ ÃÌãÚ Úáی ÚÈÏی ÎæÝیä æ áÇ ÃÌãÚ áå Ããäیä¡ ÝÇÐÇ Ããääی Ýی ÇáÏäیÇ ÃÎÝÊå یæã ÇáÞیÇãÉ æ ÅÐÇ ÎÇÝäی Ýی ÇáÏäیÇ ÂãäÊå یæã ÇáÞیÇãÉ
.
God's Prophet (S) said: "God the Blessed and the Sublime swore by his Honour and Grandeur that He would not give His servants two fears and two securities. If a person is not afraid of Me in this world, I will scare him on the Day of Resurrection and if he is afraid of Me in this world, I will make him secure on the Day of Resurrection."[12]

Two things improve this nation and two destroy it

.
The two things that made early generation(s) of this nation happy are abstinence and certitude, and the two things that would destroy the ending generation(s) of this nation are stinginess and having high aspirations.[13]

Characteristics related to the Number Three

Three characteristics, each of which would cause one to be under the Shade of God's Throne

ËáÇË ÎÇá ãä ˜ä Ýیå Ãæ æÇÍÏÉ ãäåä ˜Çä Ýی Ùá ÚÑÔ Çááå ÚÒ æ Ìá {یæã ÇáÞیÇãÉ} یæã áÇ Ùá ÇáÇ Ùáå: ÑÌá ÃÚØی ÇáäÇÓ ãÇ ÓÇÆáåã áåÇ æ ÑÌá áã یÞÏã ÑÌáÇ æ áã یÄÎÑ ÇÎÑی ÍÊی یÚáã Ãä Ðᘠááå Ýیå ÑÖی Ãæ ÓÎØ æ ÑÌá áã یÚÈ ÃÎÇå ÇáãÓáã ÈÚیÈ ÍÊی یäÝی ÐᘠÇáÚیÈ ãä äÝÓå ÝÇäå áÇ یäÝی ãäåÇ ÚیÈÇ ÅáÇ ÈÏÇ áå ÚیÈ æ ˜Ýی ÈÇáãÑÁ ÔÛáÇ ÈäÝÓå Úä ÇáäÇÓ

There are three qualities having each of which would cause one to be under the Shade of God, the Honourable and Exalted, (on the Resurrection day) on the day in which there is no shade but God's Shade. The first characteristic is to grant people what you expect of them. The second characteristic is to only do what pleases God, and not do what would provoke God's Wrath. The third characteristic is not to express the faults of one's Muslim brothers in their absence, unless one first removes such faults from himself. It is better to attend to the improvement of one's own faults than to seek out other people's faults. [14]

Whoever possesses three characteristics has perfect faith
ËáÇË ÎÇá ãä ˜ä Ýیå ÇÓʘãá ÎÇá ÇáÇیãÇä: ÇáÐی ÅÐÇ ÑÖی áã یÏÎáå ÑÖÇå Ýی ÅËã æ áÇ ÈÇØá æ ÅÐÇ ÛÖÈ áã یÎÑÌå ÇáÛÖÈ ãä ÇáÍÞ æÅÐÇ ÞÏÑ áã یÊÚÇØ ãÇ áیÓ áå
.
There are three characteristic which if possessed would perfect one's faith. When one is pleased, his pleasure does not lead him into sin and wrongful deeds; when one is angered, his anger does not lead him away from what is right; and when one is in power, his power does not lead him to acquire what does not rightfully belong to him. [15]

Having three characteristics is enough for one to be bad
Åä ÃÓÑÚ ÇáÎیÑ ËæÇÈÇ ÇáÈÑ æ Åä ÃÓÑÚ ÇáÔÑ ÚÞÇÈÇ ÇáÈÛی æ ˜Ýی ÈÇáãÑÁ ÚیÈÇ Ãä یäÙÑ ãä ÇáäÇÓ Åáی ãÇ یÚãی Úäå ãä äÝÓå æ یÚÈÑ ÇáäÇÓ ÈãÇ áÇ یÓÊØیÚ ÊÑ˜å æ یÄÐی ÌáیÓå ÈãÇ áÇ یÚäیå
.
Indeed the reward of doing good to others will arrive much faster than any good deeds, the punishment for doing wrong to others will arrive much faster than any evil deeds. Having three characteristics is enough for one to be considered imperfect: paying attention to other people's faults while ignoring your own; admonishing others against evil deeds without being able to abandon them yourself and hurting your companion for nothing.[16]

Three characteristics without which you are not from God or the Prophet
"
ËáÇË áã ʘä Ýیå ÝáیÓ ãäی æ áÇ ãä Çááå ÚÒ æ Ìá” Þیá: “یÇ ÑÓæá Çááå æ ãÇ åä¿” ÞÇá: “Íáã یÑÏ Èå Ìåá ÇáÌÇåá æ ÍÓä ÎáÞ یÚیÔ Èå Ýی ÇáäÇÓ æ æÑÚ یÍÌÒå Úä ãÚÇی Çááå ÚÒ æÌá
."
God's Prophet (S) said: "There are three characteristics which if not possessed then one is neither from me nor from God, the Honourable and Exalted." The Prophet (S) was asked: "O Prophet of God! What are they?" The Prophet (S) replied: "Patience by which you forgive the ignorance of those who are ignorant, being good-tempered with people and piety which restrains you from rebelling against God, the Honourable and Exalted." [17]

Three things to respect and safeguard for God's sake
Åä Çááå ÍÑãÇÊ ËáÇË ãä ÍÝÙåä ÍÝÙ Çááå áå ÃãÑ Ïیäå æ ÏäیÇå æ ãä áã یÍÝÙåä áã یÍÝÙ Çááå áå ÔیÆÇ: ÍÑãÉ ÇáÇÓáÇã æ ÍÑãÊی æ ÍÑãÉ ÚÊÑÊی
.
There are three things to respect so that God will protect your faith and your worldly affairs. And if you disrespect them, God will not protect anything for you. These three things to respect are Islam, me and my 'Itrat (household).[18]

Reality of one's faith can be proved by having three characteristics
ÞÇá ÃÈی ÌÚÝÑ Úáیå ÇáÓáÇã: “ÈیäÇ ÑÓæá Çááå áی Çááå Úáیå æ Âáå ÐÇÊ یæã Ýی ÈÚÖ ÃÓÝÇÑå ÅÐ áÞیå Ñ˜È ÝÞÇáæÇ: ÇáÓáÇã Úáی˜ یÇ ÑÓæá Çááå ÝÇáÊÝÊ Åáیåã ÝÞÇá: ãÇ ÃäÊã¿ ÞÇáæÇ: ãÄãäæä¡ ÞÇá: ÝãÇ ÍÞیÞÉ ÇیãÇä˜ã¿ ÞÇáæÇ: ÇáÑÖÇ ÈÞÖÇÁ Çááå æ ÇáÊÓáیã áÇãÑ Çááå æ ÇáÊÝæیÖ Åáی Çááå¡ ÝÞÇá ÑÓæá Çááå áی Çááå Úáیå æ Âáå: ÚáãÇÁ ͘ãÇÁ ˜Ç쾂 Ãä ی˜æäæÇ ãä Çá͘ãÉ ÃäÈیÇÁ¡ ÝÇä ˜äÊã ÇÏÞیä ÝáÇ ÊÈäæÇ ãÇ áÇ ÊÓ˜äæä æ áÇ ÊÌãÚæÇ ãÇ áÇ Êǘáæä æÇÊÞæÇ Çááå ÇáÐی Åáیå ÊÑÌÚæä
"
Abu Ja'far Al-Baqir said: "God's Apostle (S) encountered a group of riders during one of his journeys. They greeted him and he asked them who they were. They said they were believers. The Apostle (S) asked them about the proof of the reality of their faith. They replied 'Contentment with what God has destined, entrusting ourselves to God, and submitting to God's orders.' Then God's Apostle (S) said, 'These are wise and knowledgeable people with such a high rank, near that of the Prophets.' Then he faced them and said, 'If you are truthful, do not build what you shall not reside in, do not collect what you shall not eat and fear God to whom you shall return.'" [19]

Faith consists of three things
ÇáÇیãÇä ãÚÑÝÉ ÈÇáÞáÈ æ ÅÞÑÇÑ ÈÇááÓÇä æ Úãá ÈÇáÇјÇä

Faith consists of whole-hearted acceptance, verbal expression and acting accordingly.[20]

It is not allowed for one not to be on speaking terms with one's Muslim brother for more than three days
áÇ یÍá ááãÓáã Ãä یåÌÑ ÃÎÇå ÝæÞ ËáÇË

It is not allowed for one not to be on speaking terms with one's Muslim brother for more than three days.[21]

.
A servant of God will be asked about four (things) on the Resurrection Day before he can move: how he spent his lifetime, what he used his youth for, how he earned his income and how he spent it and about his love for us, the members of the Holy Household.[25]
