hadith 334

Abi Basir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“Avoid sins that you consider to be minor since they too will be questioned about and not ignored. Never say that I will commit this sin and ask for God's forgiveness later, since God the Almighty said: “And We record that which they send before and that which they leave behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence).” [The Holy Quran: Ya- Sin 36:12]

عن أبي بصير قال

سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: اتقوا هذه المحقرات من الذنوب فإن لها طالبا لا يغفل، ولا يقول أحدكم أذنبت وأستغفر الله، إن الله يقول: ﴿ونكتب ما قدموا وآثارهم وكل شئ أحصيناه في إمام مبين﴾.

hadith 335

Ibn Ya'qub narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“Let not the people make you forget about yourself since you, not they, will get the results of your own deeds. Do not let your time be wasted, since there is an angel with you who is watching over you. Do not underestimate your minor good deeds, since you will be pleased to see their results in the future. Do not underestimate your minor bad deeds either since you will be upset to see their results in the Hereafter. Perform good deeds since I have not seen anything more desirable than them and know of nothing that is better than good deeds to compensate for previous sins, as God the Almighty said:“For those things that are good remove those that are evil; be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord).” [The Holy Quran: Hud 11:114]

عن ابن يعقوب قال

قال لي أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): لا يغرنك الناس من نفسك فإن الأمر يصل إليك من دونهم، ولا تقطع نهارك بكذا وكذا فإن معك من يحفظ عليك، ولا تستقل قليل الخير فإنك تراه غدا بحيث يسرك، ولا تستقل قليل الشر فإنك تراه غدا بحيث يسوءك، وأحسن فإني لم أر شيئا أشد طلبا، ولا أحسن دركا من حسنة محدثة لذنب قديم، إن الله عز وجل يقول: ﴿إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات ذلك ذكرى للذاكرين﴾.

hadith 343

Hassan ibn Ziyad narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“When the following verse was revealed: “Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendor of the life of this world.” [The Holy Quran: Ta-Ha 20:131],the Prophet thought for a while, and then raised his head and said: “O' Servants of God! Whoever is not pacified with God's consolation will die while he has been constantly wishing for worldly matters. Whoever keeps an eye on what others have will constantly feel sad about (not having their wealth), and his heart ache will not be remedied. And whoever does not recognize God's blessings that are granted to him other than things to eat and wear will have a short life and an upcoming punishment.”

عن حسن بن زياد عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

لما نزلت هذه الآية ﴿لا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا﴾ أطرق رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) طويلا، ثم رفع رأسه فقال: عباد الله من لم يتعز بعزاء الله انقطعت نفسه عن الدنيا حسرات، ومن نظر إلى ما في أيدي الناس فقد كثر همه ولم يشف غليل صدره، ومن لم ير الله عليه نعمة إلا في مطعم أو في ملبس فقد قصر أجله ودنا عذابه.
