Pearl of Wisdom
Attend to the people who are about to die and dictate to them [the phrase]: La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and give them glad tidings of Heaven, for even the most forbearant of men and women become perplexed at that instant, and Satan comes as close as he can get to the children of Adam in that state. By He who owns my soul! Seeing the angel of Death is more severe than being hit one thousand times by a sword. By He who owns my soul! The soul of a servant will not exit from the world until every vein in him feels pain.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Kanz al-'Ummal, no. 42158

Sermon 138 On the occasion of the Consultative Committee (after the death of `Umar ibn al-Khattab)
No one preceded me in inviting people to truthfulness, in giving consideration to kinship and practising generosity. So, hear my word and preserve what I say. Maybe you will see soon after today that over this matter swords will be drawn and pledges will be broken, so much so that some of you will become leaders of the people of misguidance and followers of people of ignorance.
