Compassion and Leniency

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqar Qufi who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying to his companions, ‘Be pious before Allah and be virtuous brothers who love each other for the sake of Allah, and maintain good relations leniently. Visit one another, meet and speak of our cause and preserve it.’”
