Commandments of Imam Baqir (as) to his son, Imam Sadiq (as)
Imam Baqir (as) supplied his son al-Sa`diq (as) with a group of valuable commandments
The following are some of them
1. He (as) said: O My little son, indeed, Allah has hidden three things in three things.
He has hidden his pleasure in His obedience. So, do not scorn anything of obedience. Perhaps His pleasure is in it. He has hidden His wrath in His disobedience. So, do not scorn anything of disobedience. Perhaps His wrath is in it. And He has hidden His friends among His creatures. So, do not scorn anyone. Perhaps he is a friend
(Author says) These commandments are full of high moral standards. They urge people to obey Allah. They warn them intensely from disobeying Him. Moreover, they urge them to respect each other.
2. Imam Sadiq (as) related to Sufya`n al-Thawri some of his father's commandments.
He said to him: O Sufya`n, my father ordered me (to do) three, and prevented me (from doing) three
Among what he said to me is: 'O My little son, he who makes friends with a bad friend is not safe. Whoever enters into evil affairs is accused. He who does not restrain his tongue is regretful
Then he recited to me
(If you) habituate your tongue to good words,
you will have a high rank with it
It is authorized to take the good and the bad
(things) you have established for it
So, think of the way to habituate it.Reference: Life of Imam Baqir (as)
