Musa bin Qassim says: I told Imam\nJawad (PBUH), \u201cI wanted to circumambulate Ka\u2019aba (perform the Tawaf) on the\nbehalf of you and your father; but they told me that performing the Tawaf on\nbehalf of the successors of the Prophet (PBUH&HP) is not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jawad (PBUH) said, \u201cPerform the Tawaf\nas much as possible, and know that Tawaf (on the behalf of the successors\n(PBUT)) is allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After three years I visited Imam. I\ntold him, \u201cThree years ago I asked you if I could perform the Tawaf on the\nbehalf of you and your father; you allowed me, and I performed the Tawaf. After\nthat something came to my mind and I acted according to it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam (PBUH) said, \u201cWhat came to your\nmind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I said, \u201cOne day I performed the Tawaf\non the behalf of the Prophet (PBUH&HP).\u201d Imam said for three times: \u201cThe\nsalutation of God be upon the Prophet of God (PBUH&HP).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I said, \u201cThe second day I performed\nthe Tawaf on the behalf of Amir al-M\u2019uminin (PBUH), the third day on the behalf\nof Imam Hasan (PBUH), the fourth day on the behalf of Imam Hussain (PBUH), the\nfifth day on the behalf of Imam Sajjad (PBUH), the sixth day on the behalf of\nImam Baqir (PBUH), the seventh day on the behalf of Imam Sadiq (PBUH), the\neighth day on the behalf of Imam Kadhim (PBUH), the ninth day on the behalf of\nImam Reza (PBUH), and on the tenth day on the behalf of you, and these are the\nones whom I have accepted the religion of God based on their Welayat\n(mastership).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam Jawad (PBUH) said, \u201cBy god, now\nyou have the religion of God, which nothing is accepted from the people except\nit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I said, \u201cI even performed the Tawaf on\nthe behalf of your mother Fatima Zahra (PBUH), and sometimes I didn\u2019t.\u201d Imam\nJawad (PBUH) said, \u201cDo this as much as you can; for, God willing, this would be\nthe best action you do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do different actions with different\nmotives during our lives; however, only the actions that their motives are the\nobedience of God are helpful and counted. In this respect, if these actions are\nadorned with the scent of the best creatures of God, our action would have a\nbetter look, and they will be accepted easier by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, when we want to\nshow affection toward the ones we love most, one of the best ways is to\nremember them in our best moments. If we truly don\u2019t love anyone more than the\nGreat Prophet and his household, it is best to tie our best moments with the\nremembrance and the names of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
