Who Orders His Companions to Pray

Question:
The questioner says that he orders his companions to pray, to the extent that because of the frequency of his urging, they consider him their enemy in their opinion. So what is your guidance, Your Eminence?

Answer:
He is not their enemy; rather, he is the most sincere of their friends and wants good for them. Their enemy is the one who forbids them from praying or encourages them to be negligent in prayer; that is their enemy. As for the one who orders them to pray, he is the one who advises them and fears for them, and their affair is his concern. Therefore, it is obligatory for them to recognize his worth and to take his advice, instead of accusing him of this. Yes.
