Exhorting his men to jihad and asking them to refrain from seeking ease

Pearl of Wisdom

according to what Mufaddal b. 'Umar narrated on his authority, 'There is neither predestination nor free will , but a stance in between them.' [Mufaddal] asked, 'What is the stance in between?' He replied, 'It is like when you observe a man in sin and you advise him against it but he does not desist from it, so you leave him to his sin. Leaving him to sin after he has rejected your advice does not mean that you commanded him to sin.'

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

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 5, p. 17, no. 27

Exhorting his men to jihad and asking them to refrain from seeking ease

Sermon 239 Exhorting his men to jihad and asking them to refrain from seeking ease

Allah seeks you to thank Him and assigns to you His affairs. He has allowed time in the limited field (of life) so that you may vie with each other in seeking the reward (of Paradise). Therefore, tight up your girdles and wrap up the skirts. High courage and dinners do not go together. Sleep causes weakness in the big affairs of the day and (its) darkness obliterates the memories of courage.
