Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘By Allah, we have no acquittance from Allah, nor is there kinship between Allah and us, nor do we possess a [special] argument against Allah, nor do we attain proximity to Allah except through His obedience. So whosoever from among you is obedient to Allah, our friendship will benefit him, and whosoever from among you is disobedient to Allah, our friendship will be of no use to him. Woe unto you, do not be deceived! Woe unto you, do not be deceived!
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): واللّهِ ، ما مَعنا مِن اللّهِ بَراءةٌ ، ولابَيْنَنا وبَينَ اللّهِ قَرابَةٌ، ولا لَنا على اللّهِ حُجَّةٌ ، ولانَتَقرَّبُ إلى اللّهِ إلّا بالطّاعَةِ، فمَن كانَ مِنكُم مُطيعاً للّهِ تَنْفَعُهُ ولايَتُنا ، ومَن كانَ مِنكُم عاصياً للّهِ لَم تَنْفَعْهُ وَلايَتُنا . ويْحَكُم لا تَغْتَرّوا! ويْحَكُم لاتَغْتَرّوا!
