Spirituality - The Slave's Slave

Pearl of Wisdom

in a tradition related by al-Mufaddal, said, 'Have you ever thought what man's state would have been if from among all of his traits he missed the faculty of memory, and how many problems he would have suffered in his affairs, his livelihood and his experiences if he did not remember what was to his benefit and what was to his detriment, what he had taken and what he had given, and what he had seen and what he had heard? ... He would not have learned the way even if he had traversed the same path countless times, or retained a science even if he had kept learning it all his life, or professed a religion, or benefited by an experience, or been able to take a lesson from anything that had happened. Truly he would have lost the very basis of his humanity.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 3, p. 80

Spirituality - The Slave's Slave

In the Holy Qur'an

Successful indeed are the believers who are humble in their prayers (23:1-2)

In the Traditions

O God,

bless Muhammad and His Household,
delight my soul through Thy decree,
expand my breast through the instances of Thy decision,
give to me a trust through which i may admint
that Thy decree runs only to the best,

and let my gratitude to Thee
for what Thou hast taken away from me
be more abundant than my gratitude to Thee
for what Thou hast conferred upon me!

Preserve me from imagining any meanness
in someone who is destitute
or imagining any superiority
in someone who posseses wealth,

for the noble is he
whom obedience to Thee has ennobled
and the exalted is he
whom worship of Thee has exalted!
