How to Train one’s Soul (Tahdhib al-Nafs)
Once, some hawza students from
Lebanon requested Ayt. Behjat for spiritual and akhlaqi (moral)
advice.
He replied: “One
of the most beneficial actions in these matters is to sit with your fellow
students every day and study one hadith from the chapter jihad
al-nafs of the book Wasail al-Shi’a of Shaykh Hurr al-Amili.
Of course, the hadith
must be discussed properly, pondered over carefully and then transformed into
action. This will be a spiritual
tonic that within one year, will transform an individual in a way that he will
himself see the change.”
