“Do you like Allah and His messenger to be considered as liars? Talk to people with what they know and do not tell them what they deny.”

I heard Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him say: "Tests and trials begin with us and then with you, and the times of ease begin with us and then with you. And by the oath of Him where oath is usually taken, Allah will triumph through you the way He triumphed through the stones (of clay)." (Refer to Surah al-Fil).

Amirul Mu’mineen, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, said: "Any deed performed with Taqwa is not little. And how can that which is accepted (by Allah) be little?"

Holy Prophet (saw) said: "There is no servant who is concerned with the timings of the prayers and the positions of the sun except that he is guaranteed comfort at the time of death, relief from worries and sorrows, and salvation from the Fire." (The narrator said): "Sometimes back, we were minding the camels, now we mind the sun."

“Abu Abdullah Ja’far bin Muhammad (Imam as-Sadiq) said to me: “O Abdul A’la, undertaking our matter is not by knowing and accepting it. It is by preserving and keeping it secret from those, who are not reliable. Deliver to them (the Shia) my greeting and tell them that he (Imam as-Sadiq) says to you: May Allah have mercy upon one, who brings himself and us people’s love by showing them what they know and refrain from telling them what they deny. He, who makes war against us, is not worse than one, who fabricates against us what we hate.”

ʿUmar from Abān without an intermediary.

Uthman bin Isa said to me in a report: Ziyad Qandi and Ibn Muskan said to me: We were in the company of Abu Ibrahim (a.s) when the Imam said: At this moment, the best of the folk of the earth is with you. Then Abu Hasan Ridha (a.s), who was yet a child, came there. We said: The best of the folks of the earth? After that Abul Hasan Ridha (a.s) came near. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s) hugged and kissed him and said: Dear son, do you know what these two said? He replied: Yes, my master. They have doubt about me. Ali bin Asbat said[a]: I mentioned this tradition to Hasan bin Mahbub and he also said: The tradition is incomplete. It is not as such; on the contrary, it is that: Ali bin Raab said to me: Abu Ibrahim (a.s) said to those two persons: If you deny his right or are dishonest with him, the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people would be on you. O Ziyad, you and your companions would never earn respect. After that Ali Raab said: I met Ziyad Qandi and said: I have received information that Abu Ibrahim (a.s) said this and that to you? Ziyad replied: I think you have lost your mind. Then he went away and avoided me after that. I also never spoke with him or pursued him. Hasan bin Mahbub said: We were always waiting for the curse of Imam (a.s) to be proved true about Ziyad; till during the time of Imam Ridha (a.s) Ziyad died an apostate.

"When I came to Medina, I went to the house of Abu Ja'far al-Baqir (a.s). I found that his mule was saddled at the door. I sat in front of the house. He came out. I greeted him. He got down from his mule and came towards me. He asked me: 'Where are you from?' I said: 'I am from Iraq.' He said: 'Which part of Iraq?' I said: 'From Kufa.' He said: 'Who has accompanied you on your way?' I said: 'Some people of al-Muhaditha.' He asked: 'What is al-Muhaditha?' I said: 'Al-Murji'a.' He said: 'Woe unto these Murji'a! To whom will they resort tomorrow when our Qa'im (a.s) appears?' I said: 'They say: If that occurs, we and you will be the same before justice.' He said: 'Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance; whoever conceals hypocrisy, Allah damns him, and whoever announces something of hypocrisy, his blood is to be shed.' Then he said: 'By Allah, he (a.s) will slaughter them as a butcher slaughters a sheep.' He pointed to his throat with his hand. I said: 'They say: If he appears and controls the affairs, he will not shed even a drop of blood.' He said: 'It is not as they say. I swear by Him, in Whose hand my soul is! It will be so terrible until we and you wipe blood and sweat together.' And he gestured with his hand towards his forehead."
