Ibn Ya'qub narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“Let not the people make you forget about yourself since you, not they, will get the results of your own deeds. Do not let your time be wasted, since there is an angel with you who is watching over you. Do not underestimate your minor good deeds, since you will be pleased to see their results in the future. Do not underestimate your minor bad deeds either since you will be upset to see their results in the Hereafter. Perform good deeds since I have not seen anything more desirable than them and know of nothing that is better than good deeds to compensate for previous sins, as God the Almighty said:“For those things that are good remove those that are evil; be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord).” [The Holy Quran: Hud 11:114]
عن ابن يعقوب قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): لا يغرنك الناس من نفسك فإن الأمر يصل إليك من دونهم، ولا تقطع نهارك بكذا وكذا فإن معك من يحفظ عليك، ولا تستقل قليل الخير فإنك تراه غدا بحيث يسرك، ولا تستقل قليل الشر فإنك تراه غدا بحيث يسوءك، وأحسن فإني لم أر شيئا أشد طلبا، ولا أحسن دركا من حسنة محدثة لذنب قديم، إن الله عز وجل يقول: ﴿إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات ذلك ذكرى للذاكرين﴾.
