Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · On Etiquette and Encouraging Others to do Good
النضر بن سويد عن زرعة عن أبي بصير قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله تعالى: قوا أنفسكم وأهليكم نارا وقودها الناس والحجارة فقلت: هذه نفسي أقيها فكيف أقي أهلي؟ فقال: تأمرهم بما أمر الله به وتنهاهم عما نهاهم الله عنه فان أطاعوك كنت قد وقيتهم وان عصوك كنت قد قضيت ما كان عليك.
13.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from Zurʿah, from Abū Baṣīr who said, “I asked Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) about the verse wherein Allah, the Exalted, says: Guard yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is humans and stones (Q66:6), and said, ‘This is my soul that I am guarding, but how should I guard my family?’ He replied, ‘By instructing them to do as Allah has commanded, and forbidding them from what Allah has forbidden. Then if they obey you, you will have guarded them [from it], but if they disobey you, you will have fulfilled your responsibility.’”
