Pearl of Wisdom

'Asceticism is the key to the door of the Hereafter and immunity from the Fire, and it is to abandon all those things that preoccupy you from Allah, neither experiencing regret upon their loss, nor self admiration for having abandoned them, nor awaiting deliverance from them, nor seeking praise on account of them, and nor anything else in exchange for them. Rather you see their loss as a source of comfort and their presence as a source of misfortune, such that you consistently run away from misfortune and seek refuge in comfort.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Ibid. p. 315, no. 20

Question : #962 Category: Miscellaneous
Subject: Gemstones
Question: I've heard tales from my grandmother about the gemstone 'sapphire' and how it had 'evil powers' of sort, and that if the stone isn't deemed favorable to a person, he/she shouldn't keep it as it would bring upon a bad omen on him/her. I want to know if such a thing about the gemstone is true, and if it is, how does one determine if the stone is good or bad for oneself? Thank you for your time!
