In the Name of God, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

Imam As-as-Sadiq (‘a) said:

“Write and spread your knowledge among your brothers. If the end of your life approaches, leave your books as an inheritance for your sons, since there will come a time of sedition during which the people will only find comfort with their books.1
