Lessons from the life of Al-imam Al- Kadhim

One day , Al-imam Al-Kadhim passed near the house of Bisher bin Al-Harith and heard sounds of singing from his house , a bond woman got out from it and in her hand a rubbish and threw it on the road , Al-imam Al-Kadhim turned to her saying " O bond woman is the owner of this house free or slave ?", she said "free" , Al-imam said " yes , if he is a slave he will fear from his God " , then she entered the house and Bisher was inebriated and said " why you are late ?" she told him the speech of Al-imam , then he got out fast and met Al-imam , he repented and apologized to him and cried then Bisher became a good example in piety
There are many lessons in the event mentioned above. We will take two lessons
The first lesson: the fast guidance : the guidance relates to the essence of person and his readiness ( accepting the guidance or not ) , this matter was derived from the experiences of the prophets with their nations and the imams with their societies , for example , the prophet Mohammed propagandized his nearest relations whereas God said ( And warn your nearest relations ) Surah Al-Shu'ara
But no one responded to him just imam Ali bin Abi Talib, while we see many people is guided as soon as they hear a word or cassette or they see a natural phenomenon or read a book …etc. so the guidance depends on the readiness of the person to accept it (the infallibles effect on the people more than any one ) God said in the holy Quran ( And of them is he who believes in it, and of them is he who does not believe in it , and your Lord best know the mischief – maker ) Surah Yonus/40
(And there are those of them hear you, but can you make the deaf to hear though they will not understand) Surah Yonus /42
The second lesson: when Al-imam Al-Mahdi appears and begin to conquest the world, a lot of people will repent when they see Al-imam Al-Mahdi and hear his speech because he can effect on them with direct effect whereas he knows more than anyone their defects, so as soon as he speaks a lot of people will repent except the persons who darken their essence whereas the imam will deal with them by weapons because there is no substitute to get rid from their sins and evils

May God reward you
