Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: If your worldly demands are attainable, you should check your religion. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Treat your fathers piously so that your sons will treat you piously. Keep yourselves away from the strange women so that your harem will be chaste. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: He who entrusts a betrayer with a deposit will be deprived of God's warranty.

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said to Humran bin A'yun: O Humran, look to him who is less powerful that you are and do not look at him who is more powerful so that you will be more satisfied with what God has allotted for you and will be a greater motive to deserve the Lord's increase. Know that little permanent deed with conviction is more favorable to God than the many deeds that are lacking conviction.

You should know also that no piety is more profitable than avoiding committing the prohibited matters and the abstinence from harming and backbiting the believers. No living is more pleasant than good mannerism, no fortune is more advantageous than satisfaction with the sufficient and the little, and no ignorance is more harmful than self-conceit. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Pudency is of two faces- one is weakness while the other is power, submission, and faith.

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Negligence of others' rights is humility. Certainly, the neglector of rights needs for forgery in this regard. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: It is sufficient for one of the group to salute. Similarly, it is sufficient for one of the group to respond the salutation. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Salutation is voluntary while responding is obligatory.

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Do not answer those who speak before they greet you. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Shaking hands is the perfect greeting of the resident and embracement is the perfect greeting of the traveler. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Shake hands, because this will confiscate malice. 41. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Fear God even if to some extent. Construct a screen between Him and you even if transparent.

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: As for those who control themselves in rage, desire, fear, and lust, God will prevent Hell from burning their bodies. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Good health is a light grace; it is forgotten when found and mentioned when missed.
