Pearl of Wisdom
'A hypocrite prohibits [wrongdoing] but does not refrain from it himself, and he enjoins that which he does not do himself. When he prays he complains, when he bows (ruku') he slumps, when he prostrates (sujud) he pecks [prostrating so fast], when he sits he spreads himself out, when he is going to bed his only concern is food even though he is full, and when he wakes up in the morning, his only concern is sleep even though he did not stay up during the night. When he speaks to you he lies, when he makes a promise he does not fulfil it, if you entrust him with anything he betrays it, and if you disagree with him he backbites you.'
Imam Ali ibn Hussain Zayn al-'Abidin [as] Amali al-Saduq, p. 582, no. 802

The word “birr”, which means righteousness and all its derivatives, are mentioned 20 times the Quran. God informs us that we shall reap what we have sown in the next world. None of our good deeds will be left unrewarded. All the derivatives of the word “reward” (sewab) good deeds are used in equal numbers, i.e. 20 times. Below are two verses in which these words are used; 2- …but help one another in righteousness and piety… 5. The Feast, 2 195- …and the best of rewards is with God. 3. The Family of Imran 195 The word | Number of occurrence | Righteousness | 20 | Reward | 20 |
