Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “What will you, who cover up your evilness and display your goodness, do when you realize that you are not so when you think about yourself. God the Almighty said: “Nay, man will be evidence against himself.” [The Holy Quran: Qiamat 75:14] Whoever improves his inner self, his outward appearance will also be improved.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
ما يصنع أحدكم أن يظهر حسنا ويسر شيئا، فإذا رجع إلى نفسه علم أنه ليس كذلك، وقال الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿بل الانسان على نفسه بصيرة﴾ فمن صحت سريرته قويت علانيته.
