Question:The Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said: "Do not neglect your prayers, for whoever neglects his prayer will be resurrected with Qaroon and Haman, and it is incumbent upon Allah to enter him into the Fire with the hypocrites." What is meant by neglecting the prayer?

Answer:In the name of Allah, neglecting the prayer means not giving it importance, prioritizing worldly matters over it, or engaging in social and ethical gatherings instead of performing the prayer on time. Allah knows best.

Question:It is narrated from Abu Baseer that Abu Abdullah (PBUH) said: The Commander of the Faithful (PBUH) said: "Whoever does not straighten his back in prayer has no prayer." Source: Wasa'il al-Shi'a by Al-Hurr al-Amili (vol. 4, p. 939). Does this mean that if someone does not straighten their back, their prayer is invalid?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if one does this deliberately, their prayer is invalid. Allah knows best.

Question:Imam Al-Sadiq (PBUH) said, "Verily, our intercession will not reach those who underestimate prayers." What is meant by underestimating prayers?

Answer:In the name of Allah, it means considering prayers as unimportant. This is evident in one's behavior when they prioritize other matters over prayers that Allah has not commanded to be prioritized over them. Allah is the Guide, and He is the All-Knowing.

Question:There are narrations reported by scholars in the hadith collections that when the Commander of the Faithful was buried by Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein (PBUT), a man came and helped them and they asked him "who are you?" He unveiled his face, he was the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH). This was narrated by Syed Hashim Al-Husseini Al-Bahrani in the book "Medinatul Maajiz" (vol. 3, p.60), Al-Majlisi in the book "Biharul Anwar (vol. 42 p. 300) and Mirza Habib Allah al-Hashimi al-Khoei in Minhaj al-Baraa’ah in Sharh Nahj al-Balaghah (vol. 5 p. 164) The Commander of the Faithful (PBUH) said: “Hand him over to me and proceed in the supplication to Allah.” Al-Hassan (PBUH) said to him that he recommended that we should not hand him over except to one of the two men, Gabriel or Al-Khidr, so who are you from among them? Then, he uncovered the veil, and then he was the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH). Then, he said to Al-Hasan (PBUH) "O Abu Muhammad, no soul dies unless he witnesses it, can't he witness his own body?! How do you put this transmission of the narration?

Answer:In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that when the soul of a person dies, he departs from this organic body, and Allah makes him in another body, which is expressed by the purgatorial (Barzakh) body. This body is similar to the one in this world in terms of shape and outlook; however, it is different in terms of the characteristics. The purgatorial body can move from what it wants to what it wants and is not prevented by any obstacle such as light passing through the body and the air. If these narrations are authentic, then this man is the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH) in his purgatorial body. Allah knows best.

Question:narration has reported that one's faith who recites Surah Al-Ma’idah would never be confused, and he would never be engaged in polytheism: 1-Is the narration authentic? 2-Does it mean that he will never engage in polytheism and be strong in faith, knowing true monotheism?

Answer:A. In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that we said the state of the supplications and the state of the reward for the work, are all accepted by the scholars, if it is in a reliable source for the twelvers. The book of Thawab Al-Amal "reward for actions" is one of these reliable books. The mercy of Allah is not far away or dear to Him that He bestows on man these two great blessings mentioned in the report as a favor from Him to His servant. Allah is the all Helper and Knowing.

Question:1- I have read an old narration which is that the Messenger (PBUH&HF) was having cupping. After cupping, he poured the rest of the blood, it was taken by perhaps Um Salma (may Allah be pleased with her) or another woman. She drank the remaining blood which the Messenger (PBUH&HF) poured on the ground. The Messenger (PBUH&HF) said to Um Salama or the other woman "why did you do that?" they said "it can be for blessing". The Messenger (PBUH&HF) said, “As long as you drank blood, no harm will ever happen to you, but do not do this thing again.” The same content of this story is in the books of the opponents, but it is mentioned, according to them, that a man took the remaining blood from the Messenger, not a woman, and did not drink it. Is the narration true, mentioned in the books? I saw someone talking about it, but I don't know from which books, so please could you look for the authenticity of the narration? 2-There is another story that the Messenger (PBUH&HF) took a bar and hit an animal, but he did not notice, so he hit a sheikh who said: "O Messenger of Allah, you hit me on my stomach. The Messenger exposed his pure belly and said, “Should you punish or forgive me?” The man stood up and kissed the belly of the Messenger and said: “I forgive you, Messenger of Allah.” The Messenger said "O Allah, forgive Souda ibin Qais as he forgave your Prophet Muhammad." Is this narration authentic? Does this mean that if this man commits a sin, and will be forgiven, he will be in Paradise, no matter what his sins are, as long as the Messenger, according to the narration, said, it means Allah forgives you. The Messenger did say that he must not commit the sin, because his supplication does not work, if the man does not repent. Rather, he asserted saying: Allah Almighty will forgive Souda bin Qais no matter what his sins are, because the Messenger prayed for him according to our understanding of the narration. What is your opinion?

Answer:In the name of Allah, all narrations are weak in terms of authenticity of transmission and include the Prophet’s consent to eating forbidden foods, especially the narration that relates the story of Souda ibin Qais, for it includes the issuance of disobedience and injustice by the Prophet (PBUH&HF) - and may Allah forbid - in the case of negligence, it has been proven that all prophets (PBUT) and the Messenger (PBUH&HF) who is the most honorable of them, are infallible from every sin, whether it was intentional or by mistake. Allah is the all Guide.

Question:It was narrated that a man from the people of Karmand, a village in the vicinity of Isfahan, was a camel driver to Maulana Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (PBUH) when he was heading to Khurasan. When he wanted to leave, he said to him: “O son of the Messenger of Allah! Honor me with something from your handwriting, so that I may seek blessings from it, and the man was from the common people, so he (PBUH) wrote: (Be loving the family of Muhammad, even if you are immoral and love the ones who love them, even if they were immoral). The references: : (Al-Dawat by Al-Rawandi p. 28, Bihar al-Anwar, i - Beirut, vol 66, p. 253). The questions are: 1. How authentic is this narration? 2. Is it permissible to love the immoral one who loves the family of Muhammad (PBUT), because it is narrated that the infallible Imams (PBUT) ordered to face the sinners with frowning faces?

Answer:A. In the name of Allah, the narration is reported through different narrators. As for loving the one who loves the family of Muhammad (PBUH&HF) even if he was immoral, it is permissible to love this immoral as it is reasonably acceptable. Allah is the Guide.

Question:Is the narration that Ali Ibin Abu Talib buried Salman Al-Farsi authentic?

Answer:In the name of Allah, it is mentioned in our reliable reference, and there is no problem with that. Allah is the all Guide and Knowing.

Question:Is the narration which states that Imam Ali (PBUH) appears in the grave alongside Munkar and Nakeer authentic or weak?

Answer:In the name of Allah, this narration has evidence, but we should understand the meaning of the word “grave”, as it is not the pit in which the body of the dead was placed. It is rather when the dead are called to be held accountable with his purgatorial body, as it is known that the human soul departs from the biological body in which he lives in this world. It will be placed in another body which is similar to it in terms of shape and form but it is different from it in fact, for that body can emerge from the wall from one end to the other end without being affected by the wall. In one moment, it reaches every corner of the world with the power of Allah. All what is mentioned of accountability of the dead in the grave, punishing or affirming it is linked to the world of purgatory. The presence of the Imam Ali (PBUH) in every dead person in the world of purgatory is miraculous, and it is a supernatural act. It is not doubted that how one person can exist in different places at one moment because the absence of one person in multiple places and times at the same time is related to the world of nature. The miraculous act is not subject to natural factors. Allah knows best.

Question:Is the narration that says that Imam Ali (PBUH) attends forty places at the same time authentic or weak?

Answer:In his name, the miracles, my son, are broader than you can imagine. Therefore, why do you doubt this narration with the availability of narrations that indicate the presence of the Imam (PBUH) at every Shiite at the time of death? Allah is the all Guide.
