Among all the people of his time, he was the most virtuous and knowledgeable in morality, and the best in terms of giving alms and expressing kindness towards the poor. Indeed, no one surpassed him in these virtues.<\/p><p>One of the noble virtues of Imam Sajjad\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0was that he treated whoever had misbehaved towards him with kindness and favor. One day he came across a group of people who were verbally abusing him. However, he turned towards them and said, \u201dIf what you are saying about me is true, may Allah (SWT) forgive me for it; but if it is not, I ask Allah (SWT) to forgive you\u201d.<\/p><p>Although Imam Sajjad\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0was kind towards her mother more than anyone else, he usually refused to eat with her. One day, his companions asked him about the reason and said,\u201d You are among the most righteous and noble of the people, and you do favor towards your mother more than anyone else. So why is it that you refuse to eat with her?\u201d Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0replied,\u201d It is out of my politeness and respect for her, because I fear that I might aim for a bite of food which she already had aimed for\u201d.<\/p><p>Once, one of the servants of the Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0was asked about his morals. The servant said, \u201dI never took food to him during the days and never laid his bed at nights, because he was usually fasting in days at worshipping at nights\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p>Every night, Imam Sajjad\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0used to knock on the doors of one hundred houses with his own hands and offer food to their poor dwellers, who hid their poverty no to be disgraced. He used to distribute food among them without getting any help from his servants, even though the weight of the scrip he was carrying hurt his back. This was because he did not want anyone to become aware of his action. On the other hand, the poor people also did not want to be recognized by anyone. As such, Imam Sajjad\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0tried not to reveal their secret.<\/p><p>He never had any meal unless he would give the poor the same of that meal.<\/p><p>These were just a small portion of the virtues of Imam Sajjad\u00a0(PBUH). Despite the terrible conditions at his time, Imam Sajjad\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0was the best model for morality, which was the ultimate goal of his grandfather, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&amp;HP), by his behavior. Undoubtedly, maintaining and practicing these traditions is among the best ways of increasing the faith.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>(The above is a selection taken from the third volume of \u201c<em>The Traditions of the Imams vol. 3<\/em>\u201d<sup>\u00a0<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>, by Muhsin Amin (with some changes))<\/strong><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><u>Footnotes:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Mishkaat al-Anwar fi Ghurar al-Akhbar, p. 221<\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Translated by Hussain Wejdani\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imam Sajjad (PBUH) embodied the highest moral and spiritual virtues.
