Imam Sadiq (a.s) was asked about the contents of the will of Luqman. He said: “There were amazing things in that will. The most amazing thing is that he said to his son: Fear God so much that you think He will punish you even if you do all the good deeds of the Jinns and the people. Have so much hope in God's Mercy that even if you commit all the sins of all the Jinns and the People, He will have Mercy upon you.”
ومن كتاب: قيل لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): ما كان في وصية لقمان؟ فقال: كان فيها الأعاجيب، وكان من أعجب ما فيها أن قال لابنه: خف الله خيفة لو جئته ببر الثقلين لعذبك، وارج الله رجاء لو جئته بذنوب الثقلين لرحمك.
