Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Three things raise your rank, three things are compensation for sins, three things are fatal and three things can save you. Greeting, feeding and praying at night when others are asleep raise your rank. Making ablution in cold weather, walking to perform the various prayers, and regularly attending the congregational prayers are compensation for sins. Deep jealousy, following selfish desires and being conceited are all fatal traits. Fearing God the Almighty both in public and private, moderation whether you are rich or poor, and speaking justly whether you are happy or angry are things that can save you.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
ثلاث درجات وثلاث كفارات وثلاث موبقات وثلاث منجيات. فأما الدرجات: فإفشاء السلام، وإطعام الطعام، والصلاة والناس نيام، وأما الكفارات: فإسباغ الوضوء في السبرات، والمشي بالليل والنهار إلى الصلوات، والمحافظة على الجماعات، وأما الثلاث الموبقات: فشح مطاع، وهوى متبع، وإعجاب المرء بنفسه، وأما الثلاث المنجيات: فخوف الله عز وجل في السر والعلانية، والقصد في الغنى والفقر، وكلمة العدل في الرضا والسخط.
