Pearl of Wisdom
lt narrated that Imam al-Rida (AS) recited some verses composed by 'Abd al-Muttalib: All of people place the blame on time When the trouble with time is only ourselves; We reprove time while the fault lies within us If time could speak, it would surely mock us. The wolf shuns the meat of a fellow wolf Whereas we devour each other in broad daylight. Attired to deceive with our beautiful clothes, Yet woe betide the stranger when he approaches us.?
Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha [as] 'Uyun Akhbar al-Rida (AS), v. 2, p. 177, no. 5

Sermon 211 About those who give up supporting right
O' my Allah! whoever listens to our utterance which is just and which seeks the prosperity of religion and the worldly life and does not seek mischief, but rejects it after listening, then he certainly turns away from Thy support and desists from strengthening Thy religion. We make Thee a witness over him and Thou art the greatest of all witnesses, and we make all those who inhabit Thy earth and Thy skies witness over him. Thereafter, Thou alone can make us needless of his support and question him for his sin.
