ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ أَعْطَاهُ...
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ أُنْساً بِلَا أَنِيسٍ وَ غَنَاءً بِلَا مَالٍ وَ عِزّاً بِلَا سُلْطَانٍ. Then he -asws said: ‘One who observes pity (fears Allah -azwj ) as is the right of fearing Him -azwj , Allah -azwj would Give him comfort without a comforter, and riches without wealth, and honour without a ruling authority’’.
[9] وَ عَنْهُمْ ع جِدُّوا وَ اجْتَهِدُوا وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَعْمَلُوا فَلَا تَعْصُوا فَإِنَّ مَنْ يَبْنِي وَ لَا يَهْدِمُ يَرْتَفِعُ بِنَاؤُهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَسِيراً وَ إِنَّ مَنْ يَبْنِي وَ يَهْدِمُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ بِنَاؤُهُ.
And from them -asws : ‘Exert efforts and strive, and if you don’t do (good deeds), then do not disobey, for the one who builds and does not demolish, his building would rise higher, and even if it was little, and the one who builds and demolished, there is no doubt his building will not rise higher’’.
