Instructions to two of his commanders

Pearl of Wisdom

when interpreting the Qur'anic verse: And most of them do not believe in Allah without ascribing partners to Him , 'This refers to when people used to say, 'We are being rained on from the storm of x, or the storm of y [referring to various false gods]. And they used to consult soothsayers and believe whatever they told them.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 58, p. 317, no. 8

Instructions to two of his commanders

Letter 13 Instructions to two of his commanders

I have appointed Malik bin Harith as chief of the staff over you and the armies under you. Take your orders from him and obey him. Treat him as if he is your shield and armour because there is no risk of laziness or lethargy from him, nor of nervousness and blunders nor of any error of commission and omission.
