Reading Time: < 1 minute

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) made a will in his last moments:

“Pay seventy Dinars to my paternal cousin Hasan Aftas.”

He was asked, “Master you are making a gift to someone who has attacked you with a sword?”

Imam (a.s.) replied,

“Do you think I should not be included among those concerning whom the Qur’an says:

‘And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and fear the evil reckoning…” (Surah ar-Rā’d: 13:21)

Allah has created Paradise, purified it and made it fragrant. Its fragrance is felt at a distance of two thousand years (of travel). But the one who disobeys his parents or breaks ties with the kin will be so far away from Paradise, that he will not even experience its fragrance.. ( Bihar Al Anwar)
