Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Iblis [Satan], may Allahs curse be on him, says to his troops, ‘If I can gain mastery over three things in man, I will no longer care how much good he does for it will not be accepted from him: if he overrates his good deeds, forgets his sins, and is overcome by self-admiration.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): قالَ إبليسُ ـ لَعنةُ اللّهِ عَلَيهِ ـ لِجُنودِهِ: إذا استَمكَنتُ مِنِ ابنِ آدَمَ في ثَلاثٍ لَم اُبالِ ما عَمِلَ؛ فإنَّهُ غَيرُ مَقبولٍ مِنهُ: إذا استَكثَرَ عَمَلَهُ، ونَسِيَ ذَنبَهُ، ودَخَلَهُ العُجبُ .
