چکیده:
When reflecting on the hadiths of the Ahlul
Bayt, we realise the wisdom they have left behind for all
people. In his advice to his son, Imam al-Sajjad emphasises
on specific etiquette, good conduct, and various acts of
worship. Examples of such conduct include the proper
etiquette during birth, prayer for children, and involving
children in enlightening Islamic discussions. Moreover,
advice on how to teach religion and social skills, as well as
how to resolve difficulties is also described.
