[shia_strength] Giving precedence to the wish of Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) to our wishes. Mikyalul Makarim

 





Giving precedence to the wish of Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.)
to our wishes


This means that when we intend to take a step we
should ponder upon it whether Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) shall
be pleased with it or not. We should do it only if it is as per
his wishes and not if it is going to cause his displeasure. In
such situations we should overcome our personal desires
and achieve the Imam's pleasure. You shall become his
loved one and remembered in good words by Imam (a.s.)
and his forefathers. This is mentioned in the tradition
recorded by Fazil Muhaddis Noori quoting from Amali of
Shaykh Tusi that the narrator asked Imam Sadiq (a.s.),
"Why do we hear so much about Salman the Persian from
you?" Imam (a.s.) said, "Do not call him Salman the
Persian, say Salman the Muhammadan. Do you know why I
remember him so much."
"I don't know," said the narrator.
"It is due to three things", said the Imam (a.s.), "He
gave preference to the desire of Amirul Momineen (a.s.)
over his personal wishes. Befriending the poor and
preferring them over affluent people and his attachment to
knowledge and scholars. Indeed Salman was a righteous
Muslim and not of the polytheists."
(Beharul Anwaar Vol. 22 Pg. 327)
