Pearl of Wisdom
'No sooner does a Muslim servant advise his own self for the sake of Allah, and give the rights due from himself, and take the rights due to him than he is given two features: sustenance from Allah which he will be satisfied with, and satisfaction with Allah that will save him.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] al-Khisal, p. 46, no. 47

Sermon 41 In condemnation of treason
O' people! Surely fulfilment of pledge is the twin of truth. I do not know a better shield (against the assaults of sin) than it. One who realises the reality of return (to the next world) never betrays. We are in a period when most of the people regard betrayal as wisdom. In these days the ignorants call it excellence of cunning. What is the matter with them? Allah may destroy them. One who has been through thick and thin of life finds the excuses to be preventing him from orders and prohibitions of Allah but he disregards them despite capability (to succumb to them and follows the commands of Allah), while one who has no restraints of religion seizes the opportunity (and accepts the excuses for not following the commands of Allah).
