"إِنْ تَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ فُرْقَانًا" "If you are God-wary, God will grant you the power of distinction" [^6] It is also mentioned in a tradition: "مَن اَخلَصَ لله اَربَعِينَ صَباحاً ظَهَرَت يَنابِيعُ الحِكمَةِ مِن قَلبِهِ عَلى لِسَانِهِ" "He who is sincere to God for forty days, springs of wisdom will arise from his heart onto his tongue." [^7] It is also narrated in al-Kafi from Imam al-Baqir (as): "مَا اَخلَصَ العَبدُ الاِيمانَ بِالله عَزّ وجَلَّ اَربَعِينَ يَوماً.
اَو قَالَ مَا اَجمَلَ عَبدٌ ذِكْرَ الله عَزَّوَجَلَّ اَربَعِينَ يَوماً ـ اِلا زَهّدَهُ الله عَزَّوَجَلَّ في الدُّنيا وَبَصَّرَه دَاءها وَدَواءَهَا فَاثبَتَ الحِكمَةَ في قَلبِهِ وَانطَقَ بِها لِسَانَه" “A servant does not make his faith sincere for God for forty days”, or he said: “A servant does not render beautiful the mention of God for forty days, except that God will make him undesirous of the world and give him insight into its diseases and its remedies.
He will establish wisdom in his heart and make his tongue speak it”. [^8] ii) With the attainment of the precious capital of virtue, problems and hardships will be solved. "وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ....
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا" "And whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will make for him an outlet, and give him sustenance from whence he thinks not..” “..And whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair". [^9] Regarding all these points, it is the important role of God-wariness which Imam ‘Ali (as) puts in front of the agenda of his son's life.
Of course, as it is repeatedly stated, this emphasis is not only for Imam ‘Ali’s son, but for all the believers who wish to possess human life and enjoy God-given insight and resolve the problems.
