Pearl of Wisdom
with regard to Allah's verse in the Qur'an: my success lies only with Allah and His verse: ?If Allah helps you, no one can overcome you ... , said, 'When the servant does as Allah has commanded in obedience to Him, his actions are according to Allah's orders, and this Servant is called the successful, and when the servant wishes to embark upon a sinful act, then Allah Almighty obstructs between him and that sin so he leaves it, and his abstinence from it is as a result of Allah's divine succour, and when he has his own way in pursuing the sin then Allah will not obstruct him from the sin until he commits it, then He thwarts him and does not support him or give him success.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] al-Tawhid, p. 242, no. 1

Sermon 237 Amir al-mu'minin describes herein the members of the Prophet's family
They are life for knowledge and death for ignorance. Their forbearance tells you of their knowledge, and their silence of the wisdom of their speaking. They do not go against right nor do they differ (among themselves) about it. They are the pillars of Islam and the asylums of (its) protection. With them right has returned to its position and wrong has left its place and its tongue is severed from its root. They have understood the religion attentively and carefully, not by mere heresy or from relaters, because the relaters of knowledge are many but its understanders are few.
