And the one who recognises our -asws rights and hopes for the Rewards regarding us ‑asws , and he would be pleased with his subsistence of half a Mudd (1 Mudd = 750 gms.) during every day, and with what can conceal his bareness, and with what can cover his head, and they, by Allah -azwj are fearful during that, and are agreeing lovingly that it is their share from the world, and that is how Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Described them, so He -azwj Said [23:60] And the ones who give what they give whilst their hearts are full of fear that to their Lord they would be returning .

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا الَّذِي آتَوْا آتَوْا وَ اللَّهِ مَعَ الطَّاعَةِ الْمَحَبَّةَ وَ الْوَلَايَةَ وَ هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ خَائِفُونَ لَيْسَ خَوْفُهُمْ خَوْفَ شَكٍّ وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ خَافُوا أَنْ يَكُونُوا مُقَصِّرِينَ فِي مَحَبَّتِنَا وَ طَاعَتِنَا . Then he -asws said: ‘What is that which they would be bringing? By Allah -azwj ! They would be bringing with them the obedience, the love and the Wilayah, and they would be fearful during that.

Their fear would not be the fear of doubt, but they would be fearing that perhaps they have been deficient (Mukassireen) in our -asws love and our -asws obedience’.

[18] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ لَا تَسْتَكْثِرُوا كَثِيرَ الْخَيْرِ وَ تَسْتَقِلُّوا قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ فَإِنَّ قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ يَجْتَمِعُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ كَثِيراً وَ خَافُوا اللَّهَ فِي السِّرِّ حَتَّى تُعْطُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ النَّصَفَ وَ سَارِعُوا إِلَى طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اصْدُقُوا الْحَدِيثَ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَةَ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَ لَا تَدْخُلُوا فِيمَا لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan -asws saying: ‘Do not consider it a lot, a lot of goodness, and do not consider it as few, the few sins, for the few sins would be gathering until they become a lot; and be fearful of Allah -azwj in the secret until you are obeying the fairness from yourselves; and hasten to the obedience of Allah -azwj and ratify the Ahadeeth, and pay the entrustment, so rather that is for you; and do not indulge in what is not Permissible for you, for rather that is upon you (the burden of the sins)’.
