Daastaan e Raastaan -- or Stories of the Truthful -- is a book written in Farsi by Ayatollah Mottahari, a key figure from the Iranian Revolution. This book is an English translation by Reza Hamidi, and is apparently published by the government of Iran.
The book consists of 75 short stories from Prophet Mohammad, his family (including some of the 12 Imams), and his companions. I enjoy the fact that the stories are sourced. This book is suited for people of all ages interested in the example of the Prophet and his family. The book also includes random stories about people that have nothing to do with Islam. There's a story about Carl Linnaeus, the 17th century botanist. There's a story about Jesus -- which has to do with Islam, but I didn't expect to find the story in this book. There's a story about an ancient Greek. And there are stories about random people of seemingly no particular importance.
The translation is not the best, but it can be comical. Mr. Hamidi, the translator, is obviously not a native English speaker. The writing also leans towards the dramatic. For instance, one passage reads:
"The night passed and the time came for sleep. Imam [Reza] (a) called his servant and said: 'Bring my personal cot in which I sleep every night, make it read for Bizanti to take rest.' This affection and compassion very much appealed Bizanti and his happiness soared like an eagle."
Here's a hadith I like from the Prophet: Basically, the Prophet and his companions were out in the desert. He asked that firewood be collected. The companions said there was no firewood to be collected. The Prophet instructed that they should gather what small scraps of wood they could. Eventually, they came back and together, they had a large pile of firewood. "Then the Holy Prophet (s) said: 'Minor sins are just the same as these small pieces of wood. At the first sight, they seemed to be nothing .... Your sins are also amassed and recorded till the day that you will realise that these minor sins which were nothing at your sight, heaped up a plenty." (Story No. 61.)
Though the book discusses at length the good deeds and examples of the Prophet and his family, it is sometimes painful to read how these individuals were a product of their time. For example, in one story, Imam Reza reacts to news that a laborer is working in his fields with unfixed wages as follows:
"The signs of anger and annoyance appeared on Imam Reza's (a) face and turned towards them in order to lash them with whips."
This appears to be common practice 1300 years ago. I think this is the only instance, through 100 pages, that an Imam has threatened to whip someone. But I constantly hear stories of Omar, the second Caliph, whipping others. I always found this to be a character flaw of Omar -- his quick temper and belief that the whip was the remedy to so many problems. It's disheartening to learn that some of the imams also believed in whipping others as punishment.
