Abstract:
Zaydism, a branch of Shiʿi Islam dating to the eighth century CE, has historic roots in the Northern Highlands of Yemen and the Caspian regions of Northern Iran, and its literary tradition is among the richest within Islamic civilization. The most significant and by far largest collections of Zaydi manuscripts are housed by the many public and private libraries of Yemen, an endangered cultural heritage tradition, currently at risk due to the conflict and warfare in Yemen. Of great importance are also holdings of Yemeni manuscripts that are kept elsewhere. In view of the poor state of scholarship in the area of Zaydi studies, the challenges that result from the significant dispersal of the material are manifold. Yemeni Manuscript Cultures in Peril contributes to the history of books and libraries and their role in the scholastic culture in Yemen, past and present. The contributions brought together in this volume address a wide spectrum of aspects concerning Yemeni manuscript cultures, with some focusing on their history and present state within Yemen and others discussing the collections of manuscripts of Yemeni provenance in Europe and elsewhere. Contributors are: Hassan Ansari, Stefanie Brinkmann, Gabriele vom Bruck, Bernard Haykel, Brinkley Messick, Christoph Rauch, Anne Regourd, Valentina Sagaria Rossi, Karin Scheper, Sabine Schmidtke, Jan Thiele, Daniel Martin Varisco, Arnoud Vrolijk, and Zayd al-Wazir.

الملخص:
الزيدية ، فرع من الإسلام الشيعي يعود تاريخه إلى القرن الثامن الميلادي ، لها جذور تاريخية في المرتفعات الشمالية في اليمن ومناطق بحر قزوين في شمال إيران ، وتقاليدها الأدبية هي من بين أغنى التقاليد في الحضارة الإسلامية. توجد أهم وأكبر مجموعات المخطوطات الزيدية في العديد من المكتبات العامة والخاصة في اليمن ، وهي تقليد تراث ثقافي مهدد بالانقراض ، وهو حاليًا معرض للخطر بسبب الصراع والحرب في اليمن. من الأهمية بمكان أيضًا مقتنيات المخطوطات اليمنية المحفوظة في أماكن أخرى. في ضوء الحالة السيئة للمعرفة في مجال الدراسات الزيدية ، فإن التحديات التي تنجم عن التشتت الكبير للمواد الدراسية متعددة الجوانب. تساهم ثقافات المخطوطات اليمنية المعرضة للخطر في تاريخ الكتب والمكتبات ودورها في الثقافة المدرسية في اليمن في الماضي والحاضر. تتناول المساهمات التي تم جمعها في هذا المجلد مجموعة واسعة من الجوانب المتعلقة بثقافات المخطوطات اليمنية ، حيث ركز البعض على تاريخهم وحالتهم الحالية داخل اليمن ، بينما ناقش البعض الآخر مجموعات المخطوطات اليمنية الأصل في أوروبا وأماكن أخرى. المساهمون هم: حسن أنصاري ، وستيفاني برينكمان ، وغابرييل فوم بروك ، وبرنارد هيكل ، وبرينكلي ميسيك ، وكريستوف راوخ ، وآن ريغورد ، وفالنتينا ساجاريا روسي ، وكارين شيبر ، وسابين شميدتك ، وجان ثييل ، ودانييل مارتن فاريسكو ، وأرنود فروليك ، وزيد الوزير. .
The traditional account of the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension has inspired generations of writers and storytellers from the beginnings of Islam until today. By the tenth century, narratives describing Muhammad’s encounter with prophets and angels, his colloquy with God, and his visits of heaven and hell lead to the formation of the ""Book of Ascension,"" a novelizing and engaging literary genre most commonly written in Arabic and Seljuk Turkic. This is the study of an extremely rare Persian ""Book of Ascension,"" which was written in Persian by an anonymous author and dates from the Ilkhanid Period (1256-1353). Christiane Gruber presents an English translation alongside the original manuscript text, together with critical commentary. The text appears to promote adherence, as well as to encourage conversion, to Sunni Islam -- providing a fascinating insight into the interplay between artistic practices and missionary efforts aimed at promoting Sunni Islam in Persian lands during Ilkhanid rule.

Hassan Ansari & Amin Ehteshami, Seeking Certitude: Scriptural Authority in Early Shiʿi Jurisprudence.
In this monograph, Hassan Ansari and Amin Ehteshami provide a synoptic examination of epistemological discussions concerning the authority of scriptural sources (akhbār) in Shiʿi jurisprudence during the third to sixth centuries AH. Seeking Certitude: Scriptural Authority in Early Shiʿi Jurisprudence provides the first book-length study of this under-examined topic of the Shiʿi intellectual tradition. Through close readings of primary texts, the authors trace and evaluate the views of the period’s most prominent thinkers such as Ibn Qiba, al-Kulaynī, Ibn Junayd, Ibn Bābawayh, al-Mufīd, al-Murtaḍā, al-Ṭūsī, Ibn Zuhra, and Ibn Idrīs. The subjects discussed include the developments of Shiʿi legal theory during the third/ninth to sixth/twelfth centuries; various ways of conceptualising what constitutes a ‘scriptural’ source; justifications offered for including the reports attributed to the Prophet and the Imams as the second most authoritative source of law after the Qurʾan; frameworks elaborated for evaluating the authenticity of scriptural sources; epistemological discussions regarding the reliability of historical reports in general and scriptural reports in particular; solutions proposed for resolving disagreeing and contradictory reports; and the legitimacy of using a scriptural report of uncertain origins as evidence for determining a legal ruling as binding. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in Islamic law and legal theory, theology, scriptural hermeneutics, medieval intellectual history, and Islamic studies.
Cambridge History of Islam, which surveys the political and cultural history of Islam from its Late Antique origins until the eleventh century, brings together contributions from leading scholars in the field. The book is divided into four parts. The first provides an overview of the physical and political geography of the Late Antique Middle East. The second charts the rise of Islam and the emergence of the Islamic political order under the Umayyad and the Abbasid caliphs of the seventh, eighth and ninth centuries, followed by the dissolution of the empire in the tenth and eleventh. 'Regionalism', the overlapping histories of the empire's provinces, is the focus of Part Three, while Part Four provides a cutting-edge discussion of the sources and controversies of early Islamic history, including a survey of numismatics, archaeology and material culture.

The Qur’an in Islam
Part V
By Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Husain Tabatabai (Blessings of God with him)
Chapter thirty five, verse ten speaks of the relationship between a sincere system of belief and a fitting character:
💢 مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۖ وَمَكْرُ أُولَٰئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ💢
"Whoever desires honor, then to Allah belongs the honor wholly. To Him do ascend the good words; and the good deeds, lift them up, and (as for) those who plan evil deeds, they shall have a severe chastisement; and (as for) their plan, it shall perish"
Originator:10 (translation Shakir)
In chapter thirty, verse ten we learn again of this relationship between belief and action:
💢 ثُمَّ كَانَ عَاقِبَةَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا السُّوأَىٰ أَن كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ💢
"Then the fate of those who committed misdeeds was that they denied the signs of Allah and they used to deride them"
The Romans: 10 (translation Qoli Qarai)
To summarize, the Qur'an is composed of the following Islamic fundamentals which together form an interlocking whole: a primary system of belief in the Unity of God, Prophet hood and the Day of Reckoning, accompanied by a second group of beliefs, namely, belief in the Tablet, the Pen (which delineates the sequence of cosmic events), the rule of destiny and the decree (without implying pre-determination), the angels, the throne of the Creator, and, finally, in the creation of the sky, the earth and everything between them. Thereafter, we observe that man's well-being lies in his character being in harmony with these principles.
The shari'ah, namely the laws and code of behavior explained in the Qur'an and commented upon in every detail by the model of the Prophet's life, is the means whereby a man may practice these principles.
At this point we should add that the Prophet's family are his chosen heirs and are entrusted with the task of exemplifying and explaining further the prophetic message and the shari'ah after the Prophet's death.
The Prophet himself has shown that the tradition, hadith, known as the hadith al-thaqalayn which all sects of Islam accept, refers specifically to this matter of succession.🔷🔶

Do not discontinue the good practices which the earlier people of this community had acted upon, by virtue of which there was general unity and through which the subjects prospered. Do not innovate any line of action which injures these earlier practices because (in that case) the reward for those who had established those practices will continue, but the burden for discontinuing them will be on you. Keep on increasing your conversations with the scholars and discussions with the wise to stabilize the prosperity of the areas under you, and to continue with that in which your predecessors had established.
وَلاَ تَنْقُضْ سُنَّةً صَالِحَةً عَمِلَ بِهَا صُدُورُ هذِهِ الاْمَّةِ، وَاجْتَمَعتْ بِهَا الاْلْفَةُ، وَصَلَحَتْ عَلَيْهَا الرَّعِيَّةُ،لاَ تُحْدِثَنَّ سُنَّةً تَضُرُّ بِشَيء مِنْ مَاضِي تِلْكَ السُّنَنِ، فَيَكُونَ الاْجْرُ بِمَنْ سَنَّهَا، وَالْوِزْرُ عَلَيْكَ بِمَا نَقَضْتَ مِنْهَا. وَأَكْثِرْ مُدَارَسَةَ الَعُلَمَاءِ، وَمُنَافَثَةَ الْحُكَمَاءِ، فِي تَثْبِيتِ مَا صَلَحَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ بِلاَدِكَ، وَإِقَامَةِ مَا اسْتَقَامَ بِهِ النَّاسُ قَبْلَكَ.
Know that the people consist of classes who prosper only with the help of one another, and they are not independent of one another. Among them are the army of Allah, then the secretarial workers of the common people and the chiefs, then the dispensers of justice, then those engaged in law and order, then the payers of head tax (jizyah) and land tax (kharaj) from the protected unbelievers and the common Muslims, then there are the traders and the men of industry and then the lowest class of the needy and the destitute. Allah has fixed the share of every one of them and laid down His precepts about the limits of each in His Book (Qur'an) and the sunnah of His Prophet by way of of a settlement which is preserved with us.
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الرَّعِيَّةَ طَبَقَاتٌ لاَ يَصْلُحُ بَعْضُهَا إلاَّ بِبَعْض، وَلاَ غِنَى بِبَعْضِهَا عَنْ بَعْض: فَمِنْهَا جُنُودُ اللهِ،مِنْهَا كُتَّابُ الْعَامَّةِ وَالْخَاصَّةِ، وَمِنْهَا قُضَاةُ الْعَدْلِ، وَمِنهَا عُمَّالُ الاْنْصَافِ وَالرِّفْقِ، وَمِنْهَا أَهْلُ الْجِزْيَةِ وَالْخَراجِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ وَمُسْلِمَةِ النَّاسِ، وَمِنْهَا التُّجَّارُ وَأَهْلُ الصِّنَاعَاتِ، وَمِنهَا الطَّبَقَةُ السُّفْلَى مِنْ ذَوِي الْحَاجَةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ، وَكُلٌّ قَدْ سَمَّى اللهُ سَهْمَهُ، وَوَضَعَ عَلَى حَدِّهِ وَفَرِيضَتِهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَوْ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله)عَهْداً مِنْهُ عِنْدَنَا مَحْفُوظاً.
Now the army is, by the will of Allah, the fortress of the subjects, the ornament of the ruler, the strength of the religion and the means of peace. The subjects cannot exist without them while the army can be maintained only by the funds fixed by Allah in the revenues, through which they acquire the strength to fight the enemies, on which they depend for their prosperity, and with which they meet their needs. These two classes cannot exist without the third class namely the judges, the executives and the secretaries who pass judgements about contracts, collect revenues and are depended upon in special and general matters.
فَالْجُنُودُ، بِإِذْنِ اللهِ، حُصُونُ الرَّعِيَّةِ، وَزَيْنُ الْوُلاَةِ، وعِزُّ الدِّينِ، وَسُبُلُ الاْمْنِ، وَلَيْسَ تَقُومُ الرَّعِيَّةُ إِلاَّ بِهِمْ. ثُمَّ لاَ قِوَامَ لِلْجُنُودِ إِلاَّ بِمَا يُخْرِجُ اللهُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْخَرَاجِ الَّذِي يَقْوَوْنَ بِهِ فِي جِهَادِ عَدُوِهِمْ، وَيَعْتَمِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِيَما أصْلَحهُمْ، وَيَكُونُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حَاجَتِهِمْ. ثُمَّ لاَ قِوَامَ لِهذَيْنِ الصِّنْفَيْنِ إِلاَّ بِالصِّنْفِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ الْقُضَاةِ وَالْعُمَّالِ وَالْكُتَّابِ، لِمَا يُحْكِمُونَ مِنَ الْمَعَاقِدِ، وَيَجْمَعُونَ مِنْ الْمَنَافِعِ، وَيُؤْتَمَنُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَوَاصِّ الاْمُورِ وَعَوَامِّهَا.

That commander of the army should have such a position before you that he renders help to them equitably and spends from his money on them and on those of their families who remain behind so that all their worries converge on the one worry for fighting the enemy. Your kindness to them will turn their hearts to you.
The most pleasant thing for the rulers is the establishment of justice in their areas and the manifestation of the love of their subjects, but the subjects' love manifests itself only when their hearts are clean. Their good wishes prove correct only when they surround their commanders (to protect them). Do not regard their positions to be a burden over them and do not keep watching for the end of their tenure. Therefore, be broad-minded in regard to their desires, continue praising them and recounting the good deeds of those who have shown such deeds, because the mention of good actions shakes the brave and rouses the weak, if Allah so wills.
وَلْيَكُنْ آثَرُ رُؤوسِ جُنْدِكَ عِنْدَكَ مَنْ وَاسَاهُمْ فِي مَعُونَتِهِ، وَأَفْضَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ جِدَتِهِ بِمَا يَسَعُهُمْ يَسَعُ مَنْ وَرَاءَهُمْ مِنْ خُلُوفِ أَهْلِيهِمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هَمُّهُمْ هَمّاً وَاحِداً فِي جِهَادِ الْعَدُوِّ، فَإِنَّ عَطْفَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَعْطِفُ قُلُوبَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ. وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ قُرَّةِ عَيْنِ الْوُلاَةِ اسْتِقَامَةُ الْعَدْلِ فِي الْبِلاَدِ، وَظُهُورُ مَوَدَّةِ الرَّعِيَّةِ، وَإِنَّهُ لاَ تَظْهَرُ مَوَدَّتُهُمْ إِلاَّ بَسَلاَمَةِ صُدُورِهِمْ، وَلاَ تَصِحُّ نَصِيحَتُهُمْ إِلاّ بِحِيطَتِهِمْ عَلَى وُلاَةِ أُمُورِهِمْ، وَقِلَّةِ اسْتِثْقَالِ دُوَلِهِمْ، وَتَرْكِ اسْتِبْطَاءِ انْقِطَاعِ مُدَّتِهِمْ. فَافْسَحْ فِي آمَالِهِمْ، وَوَاصِلْ فِي حُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَتَعْدِيدِ مَا أَبْلى ذَوُوالْبَلاَءِ مِنْهُمْ، فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الذِّكْرِ لِحُسْنِ أَفْعَالِهِمْ تَهُزُّ الشُّجَاعَ، وَتُحَرِّضُ النَّاكِلَ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.
Appreciate the performance of every one of them, do not attribute the performance of one to the other, and do not minimize the reward below the level of the performance. The high position of a man should not lead you to regard his small deeds as big, nor should the low position of a man make you regard his big deeds as small.
ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ لِكُلِّ امْرِىء مِنْهُمْ مَا أَبْلى، وَلاَ تَضُمَّنَّ بَلاَءَ امْرِىء إِلَى غَيْرِهِ، وَلاَ تُقَصِّرَنَّ بِهِ دُونَ غَايَةِ بَلاَئِهِ، وَلاَ يَدْعُوَنَّكَ شَرَفُ امْرِىء إِلَى أَنْ تُعْظِمَ مِنْ بَلاَئِهِ مَا كَانَ صَغِيراً، وَلاَضَعَةُ امْرِىء إِلَى أَنْ تَسْتَصْغِرَ مِنْ يَلاَئِهِ مَاكَانَ عَظيِماً.
Refer to Allah and His Prophet the affairs which wory you and matters which appear confusing to you, because, addressing the people whom Allah the Sublime, wishes to guide, He said:
O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Prophet and those vested with authority from among you: and then if you quarrel about anything refer it to Allah and the Prophet if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day (of Judgement). . . (Qur'an, 4:59)
Referring to Allah means to act according to what is clear in His Book and referring to the Prophet means to follow his unanimously agreed Sunnah in regard to which there are no differences.
وَارْدُدْ إِلَى الله وَرَسُولِهِ مَا يُضْلِعُكَ مِنَ الْخُطُوبِ، وَيَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الاْمُورِ، فَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ سبحانه لِقَوْم أَحَبَّ إِرْشَادَهُمْ: (يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الاْمْرِ مِنْكُمْ فَإنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْء فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللهِ وَالرَّسُولِ)، فَالرَّدُّ إِلَى اللهِ: الاْخْذُ بِمُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ، وَالرَّدُّ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ: الاْخْذُ بِسُنَّتِهِ الْجَامِعةِ غَيْرِ الْمُفَرِّقَةِ

Spiritual Wayfaring Topic 4
💠 Minor Sins: The Basis for Greater Sins
🍃 In this whispered prayer (munājāt), Imam Sajjad (peace be with him) informs us of the multiple effects of sins in three stages.
🍃 He warns us that whenever our souls incline towards satanic or animalistic desires, right away, we should pay attention to these negative effects of sins, and be aware that the result of acting upon these desires is the (spiritual) death of our hearts.
🍃 Of course, in the presence of God, committing any sin, big or small, is a grate offense, because He is the Superior Being, and the smallest sin before such greatness and magnanimity is a crime and treachery.
The Prophet (peace be with him and his progeny) says:
*لَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى صِغَرِ الذَّنْبِ وَ لَكِنِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنِ اجْتَرَأْتُم*
💠 "Do not look at the smallness of the sin; rather, look against whom you have had the audacity (to disobey)."
In another tradition he says:
*إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَرَى ذَنْبَهُ كَأَنَّهُ صَخْرَةٌ يَخَافُ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ يَرَى ذَنْبَهُ كَأَنَّهُ ذُبَابٌ مَرَّ
عَلَى أَنْفِه*
💠 "Certainly, the believer sees his sin as if it is a boulder, which he is afraid will fall on him; whereas, the disbeliever sees his sin as if it is a fly that passed by his nose."
🍃 The Qur’an and the traditions categorize sins into minor and greater, and the effects of each sin - in this world and the next - are described to us. However, in the aforementioned traditions, the Prophet wants us to increase in our understanding of the Absolute Greatness of Allah.
🍃 The more our understanding of God’s greatness and the signs of His existence increases, and we realise the immense blessings that God has endowed upon us, our audacity to disobey God lessens.
The Prophet says:
*إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ رَضِيَ مِنْكُمْ بِالْمُحَقَّرَاتِ وَ الذَّنْبُ الَّذِي لَا يُغْفَرُ قَوْلُ الرَّجُلِ لَا أُؤَاخَذُ بِهَذَا الذَّنْبِ اسْتِصْغَاراً لَهُ*
💠 "Certainly, Satan is satisfied with you because of small sins, since sins that are not forgiven are those about which the sinner says, I will not be reprimanded for this sin due to its smallness.”

Imam Redha (peace be with him) says:
*«الصَّغَائِرُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ طُرُقٌ إِلَى الْكَبَائِرِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَخَفِ اللَّهَ فِي الْقَلِيلِ لَمْ يَخَفْهُ فِي الْكَثِيرِ»*
💠 "Lesser sins pave the way for greater sins; thus, the one who is not afraid of God in committing lesser sins, will not be afraid of him in committing greater sins."
🍃 It is for this reason that we must always be cautious and by understanding the nature of our relation to Allah, we should continuously pay attention to our smallness before Him.
🍃 Of the most important acts in order to achieve this, are:
🍁- Set some time to be with Allah in solitude.
🍁- Be attentive towards one’s spiritual obstacles.
🍁- Supplicate to Allah and plead with him.
🍁- Find ways to get rid of these spiritual obstacles.
🍁- Constantly seek help from Allah and His Awliya (close servants of Allah) on this path.
🍃 Death of the heart has different levels, which depend on one’s cognizance (ma’refat) of Allah and the type of sin committed.
🍃 If one continues to disobey Allah, it is possible for his heart to die, such that it would never be brought back to life again. This is why in munājāt al-Tāebīn, Imām Sajjād (peace be with him) requests Allah to grant life to his heart.

.....Do not desist from performing and promoting good deeds and do not withhold refraining against evil deeds and bad ones. Should you do that, the worst among you would become your leaders, if so happens, you would pray from God but won't be answered and responded by God.
📚 Nahjul Balagha; Letter 47.
أوصيکما بتقوي الله، وألا تبغيا الدنيا وإن بغتکما، ولا تأسفا علي شيء منها زوي عنکما، و قولا بالحق، و اعملا للأجر، و کونا للظالم خصماً، و للمظلوم عوناً. لا تترکوا الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنکر فيولي عليکم أشرارکم، ثم تدعون فلا يستجاب لکم
Imam Ali ibn-e Abi Tālib (عليهما السلام ) said the following:
To render relief to the grief-stricken and to provide comfort in hardship means the atonement of great sins.
Nahj-ul Balāghah, Wisdom. 24
امير المؤمنين سلام الله عليه: من کفارات الذنوب العظام اغاثه الملهوف،و التنفیس عن المکروب

Life and Worship by means of caring and supporting oppressed people
Allamah Muhammad Taqi Ja'fari:
"The final aim of human life is the success of man's supreme nature in life, which begins from God and returns to God through worship. Worship means accomplishing the nature of life in its various aspects. Once man steps beyond his purely natural life, his worshiping will begin. If man understands himself as a part of the general rhythm of the universe, who must make efforts to activate the disposition of his existence, he will turn to worship. Thus, all aspects of man's life can be regarded as worship, and as Imam Ali (peace be with him) says, the whole world can become man's mosque.
📚["The Mystery of Life" by Allamah Muhammad Taqi Ja'fari, pg. 115]
Therefore the one who is trying to help, support and care transgressed, oppressed, and tortured by the tyrants is worshipping God provided that he consciously move along the path toward God.

📃 Wisdom of Life 📃
✅Last prophet of God Prophet Mohammad (peace be with him and his progeny) said:
🌹The most incapable person (who lacks faith) is he who cannot pray (due to negligence of God).
🌹And the stingiest is he who is stingy in the conveying of Salam (greeting to others).
Commentary:
There is no hopelessness in Islam, instead trust in God for each and every step of life is the greatest sign of one’s belief and faith. Prayer eliminates hopelessness and strengthens trust.
Regarding stinginess, it is one of the worst characteristics, which should be removed willingly and understandingly for the sake of adherence to Qor’ānic values and teachings of Ahlulbayt (peace be with them) before passing over the life-bridge and leaving the realm of this life.

🔹We women are restricted and limited, confined to your (i.e. all men in general) houses, fulfillers of your desires, bearers of your children, and you men are superior to us because of (joining) the Friday and congregational prayers, visiting the sick, participating in burials, pilgrimage after pilgrimage, and better than all that, struggling in the path of God.

🔸The Prophet then turned towards her and said: 'take my message and go, O lady, and inform the women after you that for each and every one of you to be an excellent spouse to her husband, her seeking his complete satisfaction and her following of what he agrees and approves is equivalent to all that you mentioned.'

. الدرّ المنثور : أخرَجَ البَيهَقيُّ عن أسماءَ بِنتِ يَزيدَ الأنصاريّةِ أنّها أتَتِ النّبيَّ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله وهُو بَينَ أصحابهِ ، فقالَت : بأبي أنتَ واُمّي! إنّي وافِدَةُ النِّساءِ إلَيكَ ، واعلَمْ - نَفسي لَكَ الفِداءُ - أنّهُ ما مِن امرأةٍ كائنَةٍ في شَرقٍ ولاغَربٍ سَمِعَت بمَخرَجي هذا إلّا وهِيَ على مِثلِ رأيِي ، إنّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَكَ بالحَقِّ إلَى الرِّجالِ والنِّساءِ ، فآمَنّا بكَ وبإلهِكَ الّذي أرسَلَكَ ، وإنّا مَعشَرَ النِّساءِ مَحصوراتٌ مَقصوراتٌ ، قَواعِدُ بُيوتِكُم ومَقضى شَهَواتِكُم وحامِلاتُ أولادِكُم ، وإنّكُم مَعاشِرَ الرّجالِ فُضِّلتُم علَينا بالجُمُعَةِ والجَماعاتِ وعِيادَةِ المَرضى وشُهودِ الجَنائزِ والحَجِّ بَعدَ الحَجِّ ، وأفضَلُ مِن ذلكَ الجِهادُ في سبيلِ اللَّهِ ، وإنّ الرّجُلَ مِنكُم إذا خَرَجَ حاجّاً أو مُعتَمِراً أو مُرابِطاً حَفِظنا لَكُم أموالَكُم ، وغَزَلنا لَكُم أثوابَكُم ، ورَبَّينا لَكُم أموالَكُم5 فما نُشارِكُكُم في الأجرِ يا رسولَ اللَّهِ ؟

💠Rights & Rewards of Men & Women in Islam. Part. 2. (English - Arabic)
3️⃣“Beyhaqi narrated from Asma' bint Yazid al-Ansari that she went to the Prophet (peace be with him and his progeny) whilst he was with his companions, and said:
🔹‘May my mother and father be ransomed for you! I come to you representing women, and know - may my soul be sacrificed for you - that there is no woman that exists in the east or the west except that they believe in what I am about to say to you. God sent you with the truth to men and women, so we have faith in you and in your God who sent you.
🔹We women are restricted and limited, confined to your (i.e. all men in general) houses, fulfillers of your desires, bearers of your children, and you men are superior to us because of (joining) the Friday and congregational prayers, visiting the sick, participating in burials, pilgrimage after pilgrimage, and better than all that, struggling in the path of God. When a man from among you goes for the obligatory or voluntary pilgrimage, or is stationed away from home, we protect your property for you, sew your clothes, bring up your children, so what do we share with you in reward, O Messenger of God?’
🔸The Prophet (peace be with him and his progeny) turned his whole face to his companions and said:
🔸'Have you ever heard a woman speaking better than she has in her asking about her religion?'
🔹They said: 'O Messenger of God, we did not think that a woman could be so guided like this!'
🔸The Prophet then turned towards her and said: 'take my message and go, O lady, and inform the women after you that for each and every one of you to be an excellent spouse to her husband, her seeking his complete satisfaction and her following of what he agrees and approves is equivalent to all that you mentioned.'
🔹So the woman left saying: 'There is no God but God and aggrandizing God with utmost delight.'"
