AhlulBayt News Agency: Ayatollah Seyyed Hashem Hoseini Bushehri made the remarks while inaugurating a specialized library on science of hadith in Qom in January 2023. What follows is a summary of his remarks:
The science of hadith is the mother of religious sciences as tafsir, fiqh (jurisprudence), ethics, and history make use of it.
The position of the science of hadith in Fiqh is clear. History and ethics have been transferred to next generations through narrations. Accordingly, the science of hadith is named the mother of sciences because they are rooted in the former.
High aspiration and great deeds
He who ascends the degrees of aspiration, the nations will exalt him
Imam Ali (AS) said the nations will exalt the one who ascends the degree of his aspiration. High aspiration is a sign of one’s great spirit. Taking a closer look at those who have this quality, one can detect several features of them.
According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Allah Almighty loves noble affairs. Those that have high aspirations do noble deeds and this leads nations to exalt them. Whoever has reached a high spiritual and financial status, has had a high aspiration. Basically, if we want to define bravery, we should do it on the basis of high aspiration and effort.
Establishment of this library is the result of the high aspiration of Ayatollah Sistani’s office. There are strong people living in our time that are conducting great and lasting actions. Several other specialized religious libraries that have been established in Qom are also the result of high aspirations.
