Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘When a man reaches forty years of age, it is said to him, ‘Be on your guard, for now you have no excuse, and the forty-year old man is no longer as worthy of being excused as the twenty-year old man.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إذا أتَت عَلَى العَبدِ أربَعونَ سَنَةً قيلَ لَهُ: خُذْ حِذرَكَ ؛ فإنَّكَ غَيرُ مَعذورٍ ، ولَيسَ ابنُ أربَعينَ سَنَةً أحَقَّ بِالعُذرِ مِنِ ابنِ عِشرينَ سَنَةً.
