Matthew

After that, he called his twelve hawariyun to himself and gave them clear authority to cast out unclean spirits and to heal every disease and illness.

These are the names of the twelve hawariyun: The first was Simon, called Peter, Andrew his brother, Yacoub son of Zebedee, John his brother,

Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew (who had been a detested tax collector), Yacoub son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus,

Simon the Zealot, and Yahuda Iscariot, who later betrayed him.

Isa sent these twelve and commanded them, "Do not enter regions of the kuffar, nor any Samaritan city.

Rather go to the lost sheep of the family of Bani Israil.

As you go on the way, spread the good news of the approaching of the kingdom of heaven.

Heal the sick, give life to the dead, heal people who have leprosy, and cast out the jinn. You received without cost, so give without cost.

Do not take gold, silver, or copper money with you in your belts.

Do not take provisions, an extra robe, shoes, or a walking stick for the road, because a laborer deserves his provision.

Whenever you enter a town or a village, look for a worthy person and stay with him until you leave the region.

When you enter a house, greet the household: Assalamu alaykum!

If it is a worthy household, your salam will stay on it. If it is not worthy, your salam will return to you.

If anyone does not receive you and does not listen to what you say, travel away from that house or that town. Shake off the dust from your feet.

I tell you a true saying: The torment of the people of Lut, the people of the region of Sodom and Gomorrah, will be lighter on Yawm Al-Din than the torment of that town.

I am sending you out as sheep in the middle of wolves. Be understanding like snakes and simple like doves.

Beware of people. They will deliver you to courts and whip you in the houses of salat.

They will drag you in front of governors and kings because of me. This is so that you can present your shahada about me to them and to the nations of kuffar also.

When they deliver you to the court, do not be worried about what to say or how to say it. You will receive the words in that hour.

You are not the speakers. The Ruh of your Malik Al-Rahman will speak using your tongues.

A brother will deliver his brother to death. A father will deliver his son. Sons will rebel against their parents and cause them to be executed.

All people will hate you because of my name. But whoever is firm and patient until the end will be rescued.

If they persecute you in one town, go to another town. I tell you a true saying: You will not travel through all the cities of Bani Israil before the coming of Sayyid Al-Bashar.

A follower is not greater than his teacher, and a slave is not greater than his master.

It is enough for a follower to imitate his teacher and a slave to imitate his master. If they have called the master of the house Iblis, what will they say about the rest of the household?

Do not be afraid of them. Everything that is covered will be exposed. Everything hidden will be known.

When I tell you something in the dark, tell it publicly in the light. When you hear something whispered, announce from the roofs.

Do not fear people who kill the body, because they have no power to kill the soul. Instead, fear Al-Mumit. He is able to destroy the soul and the body in Jahannam.

Are two sparrows not sold for one dirham? But a sparrow never falls to the ground without the permission of your Malik Al-Rahman.

But the hairs on your heads are all counted.

So do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.

If someone supports me in front of people I will support him in front of my Malik Al-Wadud in heaven.

But my if someone denies me in front of people, I will deny him in front of my Malik Al-Wadud in heaven.

Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

I came to cause strife between a son and his father, between a daughter and her mother, and between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.

Thus the enemies of a person will be in his household.

Whoever loves his father, his mother, his son, or his daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Whoever does not sacrifice himself, following the example of my death on the cross, is not worthy of me.

Whoever protects his life will lose it. Whoever loses his life in my sirat will protect it.

Whoever receives you receives me. Whoever receives me receives Allah who sent me.

If someone receives a nabi because he is a nabi, Allah will reward him with the reward of a nabi. If someone receives a righteous man because he is righteous, Allah will reward him along with the righteous people.

I tell you a true saying: Whoever gives even a glass of cold water to drink to one of these little ones because he follows me will never lose his reward."
