Pearl of Wisdom
'Six things benefit a person after he passes away: a child who seeks forgiveness for him, a copy of the Qur?an which he leaves behind, a plant that he planted, water that he donated in charity, a well that he had dug, and a tradition that others take from him and [practice] after him.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] Kitab man la yahdurahi al-Faqih, v. 1, ] 185, no. 555

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.
