It was also narrated in this chapter on the authority of the wise Muhammad ibn Sinan, who said: I asked my Master al-Sadiq—peace be from him—about the saying of Allah the Exalted: {Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good things of [His] provision?" Say, "They are for those who believe during the life of this world, exclusively [for them] on the Day of Resurrection"} (Al-A'raf 32).

He said: When the believer establishes the Monotheism [Tawhid] of Allah and the knowledge of Him, Allah makes permissible [Abaha] for him everything of the affairs of this world and the hereafter.

Similar to this is what our Sheikh established in the (Book of Contracts [Kitab al-Uqud]), saying: As for the contracts which Allah commanded to be fulfilled, they are that there is no outward deed except that it has an inward person.

So you must be compassionate and kind toward them. Let each of you be as the Scholar—peace be upon him—said: "Whomever asks us, we give; and whomever does not ask us, we initiate [the giving]." For if one has no outward form to establish, nor support [Muwasa] for his brothers, then to what does he cling, and upon what does he rely? Whoever does not establish the outward among its people and maintain ties with his brothers is not a believer.
