verse 134 The Imam peace be upon him said May Allah forgive you She said verily God loved the righteous one The Imam peace be upon him said Go you are free by Allah From the book of أرشاد volume 2 page 146 This picture really is beautiful And shows you the level of faith That this Imam has If this was one of us And someone was pouring for his water And it fell on our face What would we do This is why we read such stories And memorize them So we practice them This is one snippet And already it contains so much lessons Another characteristic of the Imam Is his open hand in charity He is known to be giving And caring for the poor and the needy Who would leave in the middle of the night Covered so that no one Can recognize him And give out food and water To the poor in Medina It is even reported That the Imam peace be upon him Would not eat something Until he gives that same type of food He is about to eat as charity He would carry heavy loads Of bread and wheat on his back In the middle of the night And pass it out to those Who is in need Who would inform his companions Giving charity in secrecy Removes the anger of the Lord From the book Volume 3 Page 292 Since all of his charity works Was in the middle of the night No one was ever able to know Who was the covered man Taking care of us They ended up finding out After his martyrdom For about 100 families Began asking
