Pearl of Wisdom
'By Allah, we have no acquaintance from Allah, nor is there kinship between Allah and us, nor do we possess a [special] argument against Allah, nor do we attain proximity to Allah except through His obedience. So whosoever from among you is obedient to Imprisonment Allah, our friendship will benefit him, and whosoever from among you is disobedient to Allah, our friendship will be of no use to him. Woe unto you, do not be deceived! Woe unto you, do not be deceived!?
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] Wasa'il al-Shi'a, v. 11, p. 185, no. 4
