Pearl of Wisdom
'Verily Allah Blessed and most High distinguished the Prophet (SAWA) with noble moral traits, therefore examine yourselves and if you find them within yourselves, then praise Allah and beseech Him for an increase in them', then the Imam listed ten of them, 'Conviction, contentment, patience, thankfulness, clemency, excellent character, liberality, self-respect, courage and valour.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] Amali al-Saduq, p. 290, no. 324

Sermon 20 Death and taking lessons from it
If you could see that has been seen by those of you who have died, you would be puzzled and troubled. Then you would have listened and obeyed; but what they have seen is yet curtained off from you. Shortly, the curtain would be thrown off. You have been shown, provided you see and you have been made to listen provided you listen, and you have been guided if you accept guidance. I spoke unto you with truth. You have been called aloud by (instructive) examples and warned through items full of warnings. After the heavenly messengers (angels), only man can convey message from Allah. (So what I am conveying is from Allah).
