Tradition 3
Abu Dhar: ... Later, as the Prophet was approaching me I heard
him saying: "... and what if he
has committed adultery? And what if he has stolen something?" As
the Prophet approached
me, I impatiently asked him: "O' Prophet of God! May God make me
your devoted servant!
Who were you talking with over there in Harra? I heard someone
answering your questions."
The Prophet said: "(The angel) Gabriel showed himself to me at
Harra and said: Give goodnews to your nation: whoever dies and has
not associated any partners with God (the
Almighty) will enter Heaven. I said: O' Gabriel! And is that so
even if he has committed
adultery? And is that so even if he has stolen something?
Gabriel answered in the positive.
Again I asked: And even if he has committed adultery? And is
that so even if he has stolen
something? Gabriel answered: Yes, even if he has drunk an
intoxicating drink."
Tradition 4
Prophet Muhammad: "Whoever leaves this world and has not
associated any partners withGod will enter Heaven whether he has
done some good deeds or some evil ones."
Tradition 5
Allah said: "Whoever interprets My Words according to his own
viewpoint has no faith in Me.
And whoever considers Me to be similar to My creatures does not
recognize Me. And whoever
makes comparisons in my religion does not believe in My
religion."
Tradition 8
Imam Sadiq: "In fact unity and justice are the foundations of
religion. The amount of religious
knowledge is extensive, and every sane person must acquire it.
Therefore remember what will
make it easier for you to attain this knowledge, and prepares
you to retain it."
Tradition 22
Imam Ali went on the pulpit and said: No one experiences true
faith unless he realizes thathe will obtain only what is destined
to be his, and he will not obtain anything that is destined
to belong to others.
Tradition 23
God's Prophet (a.s) said: One of the signs of certitude is that
you do not displease God to
please the people, and do not admire the people for the daily
bread that God has granted you
through them, and that you do not blame the people for God
depriving you of your daily
bread. No one's greed will bring him an increase in his daily
bread, and no one's jealousy willstop one's daily bread. If one
tries to escape from his daily bread as he escapes from death,
one's daily bread seeks its owner faster than death does. In
fact, God the Almighty has

established comfort and peace of mind in certitude and
contentment, and has established
sorrow and discomfort in anger and doubt.
Critique
Just watch the daily news to counter this tradition. The volume
of people violating the laws,
kicking people out of jobs, destroying the huge volume of
resources to increase the prices and
Allah seems not to care the least for that.
Companies destroying good products to descrease the supply
Companies polluting the environment
People deceiving other people
Here is a short list
Tradition 25
Imam Sadiq: Imam Ali's servant named Ghanbar really liked him
and would always follow
him at night with his sword in order to protect him. One night
Imam Ali (a.s) noticed him and
asked him what he was doing. He said: I am following you. The
Imam (a.s) asked: Are you
trying to protect me from heavenly or earthly creatures? He
replied: I am guarding you
against earthly creatures. The Imam (a.s) said: Please go home
since no one on Earth can
do me any harm unless God' permits so. Then Ghanbar returned
home.
