hadith 1548
Fear Allāh every morning and evening and remain apprehensive about yourself of this deceitful world and do not regard it safe in any case. Know that if for fear of some evil you do not refrain yourself from things which you love, then passions will fling you into a lot of harm. Therefore, be for yourself a refrainer and protector, and for your anger a suppressor and killer.
اتَّقِ اللهَ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، وَخَفْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ الدُّنْيَا الْغَرُورَ، وَلَا تَأْمَنْهَا عَلَى حَالٍ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تَرْدَعْ نَفْسَكَ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ، مَخَافَةَ مَكْرُوهٍ، سَمَتْ بِكَ الْأَهْوَاءُ إِلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الضَّرَرِ. فَكُنْ لِنَفْسِكَ مَانِعاً رَادِعاً، وَلِنَزْوَتِكَ عِنْدَ الْحَفِيظَةِ وَاقِماً قَامِعاً.

hadith 1013
10-41 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Idris quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Abi Muhammad al-Ansari, on the authority of Amr ibn Abil Miqdam, on the authority of his father
“Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) told me, ‘O Abil Miqdam! Indeed Ali’s followers are pale due to abstinence; slim and with dry lips. Their lips are fasting; their stomachs are thin and their color is changing because of God’s fear and their faces are yellow. When the night comes they sit on the ground and put their foreheads on the ground. They prostrate a lot; they often shed tears; they make supplications often; they cry a lot; and the people are happy, while they are sad.’”
10-41 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس قال: حدثنا محمد ابن أحمد قال: حدثني محمد بن عيسى، عن أبي محمد الانصاري، عن عمرو بن أبي المقدام عن أبيه قال
قال لي أبوجعفر عليه السلام: ياأبا المقدام إنما شيعة علي عليه السلام الشاحبون الناحلون، الذابلون ذابلة شفاههم، خميصة بطونهم، متغيرة ألوانهم، مصفرة وجوههم أذا جنهم الليل اتخذوا الارض فراشا، واستقبلوا الارض بجباههم،كثير سجودهم، كثيرة دموعهم، كثير دعاؤهم، كثير بكاؤهم، ويفرح الناس وهم يحزنون
