Imam Ali ibn al-Hussein (a.s) said: “O' children of Adam! As long as you watch over your soul, and you are worried about being accountable for your deeds, and fear of God covers you up as your underclothes do, you will be prosperous. You will die, and will be resurrected and questioned in front of God. Therefore prepare yourself for the reckoning.”
وكان علي بن الحسين (عليهما السلام) يقول: يا ابن آدم، إنك لا تزال بخير ما دام لك واعظ من نفسك، وما كانت المحاسبة من همك، وما كان الخوف لك شعارا والحزن دثارا، يا ابن آدم، إنك ميت ومبعوث وموقوف بين يدي الله عز وجل ومسؤول، فأعد له جوابا.
