(تحف العقول ص472) Whosoever has the fear of Allah...

(تحف العقول ص472) Whosoever has the fear of Allah, people fear him & the one who obeys Allah, people obey him[^11] 11- مَنِ اتَّقَی اللهَ يُتَّقَ وَمَن اَطاعَ اللهَ يُطَع. (تحف العقول ص482) Compensate & remind yourself of regrets & envoys of dissipations by giving priority & preference to fore sighted ness, resolution & sound judgment. [^12] 12- أُذکُر حَسَراتِ التَّفريطِ بِأَخذِ تَقديم الحَزِم. (بحارالانوار/78/370) Jealousy is the cause of erosion of good deeds & the attracter of chastisement.

[^13] 13-أَلحَسَدُ ما حي الحَسَناتِ جالِبُ المَقتِ. (اعيان الشيعة (الطبع الجديد) ج2 ص39) The torturing & teasing of parents is followed by shortage (of sustenance) & being driven towards belittlement. & humiliation[^14] 14- العُقُوقُ يُعَقِّبُ القِلَّةَ وَيُؤدَّي إِلَی الذِّلَّةِ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص369) Wrath & anger is the key to difficulties & hardships but (at the same time) it is better than nursing grudge. (Malice) [^15] 15- أَلعِتابُ مِفتاحُ الثَّقالِ، وَالعِتابُ خَيرٌ مِنَ الحِقدِ.

(اعيان الشيعة (الطبع الجديد) ج2 ص39) The one who obeys the creator does not have the fear of anger & wrath of the creatures & the one who makes Allah angry & displeased must know that the creatures will (certainly) become angry with him. [^16] 16- مَن أَطاعَ الخالِقَ لَم يُبالِ سَخَطَ المَخلوقينَ وَ مَن أَسخَطَ الخالِقَ فَليَيقَن أَن يَحِلَّ بِهِ سَخَطُ المَخلوُقينَ. (تحف العقول ص482) Indeed, both the scholar & the student share the prosperity.

[^17] 17- فَإنَّ العالِمَ وَالمُتَعَلَّمَ شَريکانِ فِي الرُّشدِ. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص367) Waking up in the night makes the sleep sweeter & hunger increases the nicety & decency of food. (Imam intends to invoke & encourage the people to keep fast & offer prayers.) [^18] 18-أَلسَّهَرُ أَلَذُّ لِلمَنامِ، وَالجُوعُ يَزيدُ في طِيبِ الطَّعامِ. (اعيان الشيعة ج2 ص39) Mind the time when you would be lying before your family members & there would be no physician to stop it (death) & no friend to benefit you.

[^19] 19- أُذکُر مَصرَعَکَ بَينَ يَدَي أهلِکَ وَلا طَبيبَ يَمنَعُکَ وَلا حَبيبَ يَنفَعُکَ (اعيان الشيعة (الطبع الجديد) ج2 ص39) The one who performs a deed & his heart does not believe in that deed, Allah will not accept any of his practices; but that it be along with the sincerity of intention. [^20] 20- ... فَمَن فَعَلَ فِعلاً وَکانَ بِدِينٍ لَم يَعقِد قَلبُهُ عَلی ذلِکَ لَم يَقبَلِ اللهُ مِنهُ عَمَلاً إلاّ بِصِدقِ النِّيَّةِ...
