Pearl of Wisdom

when a Christian scholar asked him about a man who copulated with his wife and she became pregnant with two, both in one hour, and she gave birth to both in one hour, and they both died in one hour, and they were both buried in one grave, but one lived for one hundred and fifty years and the other lived for fifty years who were they? He replied, Uzair and 'Uzra. Their mother was pregnant with them as you have described, and she gave birth as you described, and 'Uzair and 'Uzra lived for so and so years. Allah then made 'Uzair die for one hundred years, then he was revived and lived with 'Uzra for fifty years. Then they both died together at one time.'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as]
al-Kafi, v. 8, p. 123, no. 94

Sermon 116 Rebuking Misers

You spend no wealth in the cause of Him Who gave it, nor do you risk your lives for the sake of Him Who created them. You enjoy honour through Allah among His creatures, but you do not honour Allah among His creatures. You should derive lessons from your occupying the places of those who were before you and from the departure of your nearest brothers.
