He is ignorant of the obligatory duties of the individual. What God has made obligatory upon you are the rulings of ablution, prayer, knowing God Almighty, and so forth. As for the Quran, it is a supererogatory act for the Imam. The Quran, specifically in prayer, has imposed some of it upon him in the manner of Sunnah. And among them is that he orders anyone who repents and has ill-gotten wealth to give it away in charity, and he orders him to fast until the flesh that was gained through unlawful means is gone. And the one who abandons prayer and fasting, he orders him to make up for all that he missed. He orders him to maintain kinship ties and orders him to observe I'tikaf for guests, rather he gives them what is left over from the sustenance of their families. All of this is from the Sunnah. And among them is that he stipulates to his in-laws in the marriage contract that they not leave him. And all the preceding conditions, whoever violates them, his wife is divorced from him. And among them is that he stipulates to the one who is subject to his authority, whether the Sultan or others, that they pray the five daily prayers with him, and he makes them and their women pray them again, and that they know the six pillars of faith and the five pillars of Islam. And whoever does not do this, he expels him. And a group of five people follow him in this, such as the faqih Muhammad Sabahi and his two sons, the faqih Abd al-Qadir and the faqih Ali, his brother, and the faqih Muhammad, son of Dalil, and Umar, his brother, and the children of Isa, may God have mercy on him, and the faqih Abbasi, and the faqih Shokr Allah, son of Manufi, and the faqih Muhammad, son of Zamr, and his son Al-Haj Al-Sayyid, son of Zamr, and a large group of Bani Jarrar. As for his neighbors, Shokr Allah, Abd al-Kafi, and the faqih Muhammad, son of Kurab, their adherence to him was so strong that he said to them, "Reduce your good deeds, they will be counted." And he used to order, and his orders were obeyed without any authority, and he would say, "There is no need to ask for proof," and he would provide the answer, and no one would be asked to verify it. As for his followers among women, they are more numerous than men by many multiples, and most of them are. He visited him and his student said about him: Our father, Abu Dalqa, the one who is praised, the one who is the source of opinion and sound consensus. The source of the forbidden and the great sins, our father, the one who is the source of the settled and the established. And as for his saying, "And the second of my affairs is to act," among them is his wearing of the jubbah and the mirqa'ah, and his weaving of his sleeves with the lawis, and making the harem his food, by which he sustained himself. And he said, "There is no reward for three things: the soul's suffering, the scarcity of lawful earnings in our time, and following the predecessors." He divides half of them for the Sultan, and the Sheikh of the house takes them with the kharaj, and the Sheikh of the house brings it with the kharaj, and it is connected to that. So he said to him, "A poor person, is he called Ibn Umm Maryam, determined?" So the Sheikh said, "Amazing. We have already given the house to him as charity." And among them is that he built a wall between his farm and his neighbor's farm so that his neighbor's crop would not fall into his land without him realizing it. And a similar story to this is mentioned by Al-Sha'rani in Tabaqat al-Awliya', where a man came to Al-Hasan Al-Basri and said to him, "O my master."
