bird
the tree
“Abu Abdullah (as): “regarding the tree which the man uproots from his house, inside the Al-Harram’. He said; ‘If the house was built and the tree was in it, then it is not for him that he uproots it; but if it was such that it grew in his house and it is for him, then he can uproot it’.” Al Kafi, Vol. 4, h. 30
the shadow
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (as) having said: ‘Allah Mighty and Majestic Created the creatures. So He Created the ones He Loved from what He Loved, and whatever He Loved He Created it from the clay of the Paradise; and He Created the ones He hated from what He hated, and whatever He hated, Created it from the clay of the fire. Then He sent them into the shadows’. So I said, ‘And which thing is the shadow?’ So he (as) said: ‘Do you not see your own shadow in the sunshine? It is something, but is not a thing’ (Al-Kafi vol 2, part 1, h. 3, H1450)
thorn
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Just as grapes can never be harvested from thorn bushes, thus can the wrongdoers never come up to the level of the righteous, for they are two distinct paths, whichever one of them you take is where you will arrive.’ (Mizan al-Hikmah h. #50)
salat
Sa’d ibn Khalaf narrated that Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “Salat is as sweet smelling as a freshly cut branch of a green tree when they are performed on time. One picks from a tree when it is fresh, pure and good smelling. Therefore I advise you to perform your prayers on time.” Mishkāt al-anwār fī ghurar al-akhbār h. 345
comfort
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There is a means of comfort for everything. The birds get their rest from being with other birds. Likewise believers (momin) rest when they associate with other believers.” ( Mishkāt al-anwār fī ghurar al-akhbār h. #492).
the bird
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘No animal, including a bird or any other kind, is killed unjustly except that it will raise a complaint against him [the killer] on the Day of Resurrection. (Mizan al-Hikmah h. # 206)
Free Palestine!
the mountain
Abu Ja’far – Imam Al-Baqir (a.s.) said the following: “A believer (momin) is stronger than a mountain. A mountain loses its parts but no loss takes place in the religion of a believer (momin).” (Al-Kafi, Vol 2, h. 37)
the world
“The world is like the water of the ocean. The more a thirsty person drinks from it, the thirstier he becomes, until it kills him.” (Imam Jafar Sadeq – Al – Kafi , Vol. II, # 24)
