Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Solomon, the son of David said: “We have whatever the people have. We know whatever the people know of or not know. We have not come across anything better than fearing God in public and in private. Nothing is better than moderation during times of affluence or poverty, telling the truth during times of contentment or anger, and being humble to God under all circumstances.”
قال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام)، قال سليمان بن داود: أوتينا ما أوتي الناس وما لم يؤتوا، وعلمنا ما علم الناس وما [لم] يعلموا، فلم نجد شيئا أفضل من خشية الله في المغيب والمشهد، والقصد في الغنى والفقر، وكلمة الحق في الرضا والغضب، والتضرع إلى الله عز وجل على كل حال.
