الحَثُّ عَلى تَأديبِ الوَلَدِ والأهلِ Encouraging The Teaching Of Good Manners To Children

33- رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): أكرِمُوا أولادَكُم وأحْسِنوا آدابَهُم يُغْفَرْ لَكُم .

33- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Honour your children and refine their manners, and your sins will be forgiven.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 104, p. 95, no. 44]

 

34- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ للحسنِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ: إنّما قَلْبُ الحَدَثِ كالأرضِ الخالِيةِ ما اُلقِيَ فيها مِنْ شيءٍ قَبِلَتْهُ، فبادَرْتُكَ بالأدبِ قبلَ أن يَقْسُوَ قلبُكَ ويَشتغِلَ لُبّكَ.

34- Imam Ali (AS) said to Imam al-Hasan (AS), ‘The heart of a youth resembles an empty land - it receives all that is thrown into it. This is why I have started to teach you good manners before your heart is hardened and your soul is preoccupied.’[Sharhe Nahj al-Balagha li Ibn Abi al-Hadid, v. 16, p. 66]

 

35- الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لمّا نَزَلتْ هذه الآية: «يا أيُّها الّذينَ آمَنوا قُوا أنفسَكُم وأهليكُم ناراً» قالَ النّاسُ: يا رسول اللّه‏! كيفَ نَقِي أنفسَنا وَأهلِينا؟ قالَ: اعمَلُوا الخيرَ وذَكِّروا بهِ أهْلِيكُم فأدِّبُوهُم على طاعةِ اللّه‏ِ .

35- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘When the verse: “O you who have faith! Protect yourselves and your kin from the Fire…” was revealed, people asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah! How do we protect ourselves and our kin?’ He replied, ‘Do good deeds and remind your kin about them, and discipline them to obey Allah.’[Mustadrak al-Wasail, v. 12, p. 201, no. 13882]

 

36- الإمامُ الرِّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مُرِ الصَّبيَّ فلْيَتَصدَّقْ بيدِهِ بالكِسْرةِ والقَبْضةِ والشَّيءِ وإنْ قَلَّ، فإنَّ كلَّ شيءٍ يُرادُ بهِ اللّه‏ُ ـ وإنْ قَلَّ ـ بعدَ أنْ تَصدُقَ النِّيّةُ فيهِ عظيمٌ.

36- Imam al-Ridha (AS) said, ‘Instruct the child to give charity with his own hand, be it a piece of bread or a handful of [food] or any other small thing, for everything – no matter how little it is – if done for the sake of Allah and with an honest intention is very great.’[al-Kafi, v. 4, p. 4, no. 10]
