149. His Virtues

464.الإرشاد : رُويَ أنَّهُ (الكاظم عليه السلام) كانَ يَدعو كَثيراً فَيَقولُ : اللَّهمَّ إنّي أسألُكَ الرّاحَةَ عِندَ المَوتِ وَالعَفوَ عِندَ الحِسابِ . وَيُكَرِّرُ ذلك . وَكانَ مِن دُعائِهِ عليه السلام : عَظُمَ الذَّنبُ مِن عَبدِكَ فَليَحسُنِ العَفوُ مِن عِندِكَ . وَكانَ يَبكي مِن خَشيَةِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى تَخضَلُّ لِحيَتُهُ بِالدُّموعِ . وَكانَ أوصَلُ النّاسِ لأهلِهِ ورَحِمِهِ وَكانَ يَفتَقِدُ فُقَراءَ المَدينَةِ في اللَّيلِ فَيَحمِلُ إليهِم (الزَّنبيلَ) فيهِ العَينُ وَالوَرَقُ وَالأدِقَّةُ وَالتُّمورِ فَيوصِلُ إلَيهِم ذلك وَلا يَعلَمونَ مِن أيِّ جَهَةٍ هُوَ .1

464. It is narrated in al-Irshad: 'It is reported that al-Kazim used to supplicate a lot and say, 'O Allah! Indeed I ask You for ease at the time of death and pardon at the time of the account', and he used to repeat this several times. And among his supplications were, 'The sin of Your slave is great, so graceful will be the pardon from You.' He used to weep out of fear of Allah until his beard was soaked with tears. He used to be most diligent with maintaining relations with his family and his kin. He used to visit the poor of Madina at night, for whom he would take a basket of gold, silver, flour and dates. He would deliver all this to them whilst they did not even know where he came from.' 2

465.الحَسَنُ بنُ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ يَحيَى العَلَويِّ : حَدَّثَني جَدّي : كانَ موسَى بنُ جَعفَرٍ يُدعى‏ العَبدَ الصّالِحَ مِن عِبادَتِهِ وَاجتِهادِهِ . رَوى أصحابُنا أنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَسجِدَ رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله فَسَجَدَ سَجدَةً في أوَّلِ اللَّيلِ، وَسُمِعَ وَهُوَ يَقولُ في سُجودِهِ : «عَظيمُ الذَّنبِ عِندي فَليَحسُنِ العَفوُ عِندَكَ ، يا أهلَ التَّقوى وَيا أهلَ المَغفِرَةِ» فَجَعَلَ يُرَدِّدُها حَتَّى أصبَحَ وَكانَ سَخيّاً كَريماً ، وَكانَ يَبلُغُهُ عَنِ الرَّجلِ أنَّهُ يُؤذيهِ فَيَبعَثُ إلَيهِ بِصُرَّةٍ فيها ألفَ دينارٍ .3

465. Hasan b. Muhammad b. Yahya al-Alawi said, 'My grandfather narrated to me that Musa b. Jafar (AS) was called the righteous slave due to his worship and hard work. Our companions narrated that he would enter the mosque of the Prophet (SAWA) and would perform a prostration early in the night. He was heard to say in his prostration, 'My sin from me is great whilst Your pardon from You is graceful. O One who is worthy of being feared and O One who is worthy of granting forgiveness'. He would repeat this until morning. He was generous and noble. He was once informed of someone who spoke ill of him, so he sent for him a tray with one thousand dinars.' 4
