Frasi di Ja'far al-Sadiq

Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq, ossia Abū ʿAbd Allāh Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī , è stato il sesto Imam sciita duodecimano, ismailita e alawita/Mustaʿlī, nonché quinto Imam Nizārī.

Figlio di Muhammad al-Baqir e di Umm Farwa , nacque a Medina il 20 aprile del 702 e morì nella medesima città il 14 dicembre del 765. È inumato nel cimitero cittadino del Baqiʿ al-Gharqad. Il suo Imamato durò per 31 anni, dal 734 al 765.

Il suo laqab di al-Ṣādiq gli venne dalla sua facile profezia che una rivolta alide contro gli Omayyadi, affidata alla debole guida del suo parente Ibn ʿAbd Allāh, detto "al-Nafs al-Zakiyya", sarebbe inevitabilmente fallito.

Sposò Hamīda al-Barbariyya, e tra i suoi figli figurano:

Ja'far al-Sadiq: Frasi in inglese

“One who does not use his intelligence will not succeed and one who does not use his knowledge will have no intellect. One who understands will attain nobility and excellence, and one who is tolerant will triumph. Knowledge is a shield (against evil), truth begets honour and ignorance disgrace, understanding is distinction, generosity is salvation and good manners command love and respect.”

The man further asked, "Has he empowered them with their actions?" al-Sadiq said, "If He had delegated it to them, He would have not confined them to enjoining good and forbidding evil." The man further asked, "Is there a station or a position between the two?"”

General Quotes

“Then I (al- Sadiq) asked him (the thief) about his act. He said: 'perhaps, you are Ja'far b. Mohammed?' 'Yes,' I said. He said to me:'What does your noble origin avail you while you are ignorant?' 'Which verse of the Quran am I ignorant at?' I asked. He said these Words of Allah, the Great and Almighty:Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it, and whoever brings and evil deed he shall be recompensed only with the like of it.(Quran, 6:160) 'When I stole the two loaves of bread, they were two evil deeds. And When I stole the two pomegranates, they were two evil deeds, too. So these are four evil deeds. When I gave each one of them as alms, Allah has subtracted 4 evil deeds from 40 good deeds. So, I have 36 good deeds.' I (al- Sâdiq) said: 'May your mother loses you! It is you who are ignorant at the Book of Allah. Have you not heard that Allah said: (Allah) accepts-(deeds) from the pious only.(Quran, 5:27) When you stole the two loaves of bread, they were two evil deeds. And when you stole the two pomegranates, they were two evil deeds, too. And when you gave them to other than their owner without the permission of their owner, you have added four evil deeds to the four evil deeds, and you have not added four evil deeds to forty good deeds. So, he began looking at me. Then I left him and went away.”
