Al-Kāfi - The Book of Jihad (Serving in the Army) Chapter: It is Detestable to Expose One’s Self to What He Cannot Endure َدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ سَ٠َاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَوَّضَ إِلَى الْ٠ُورَهُ كُلَّهَا وَلَ٠ْ يُفَوِّضْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُذِلَّ نَفْسَهُ أَلَ٠ْ يَرَ قَوْلَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَاهُنَا وَللهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْ٠ِنُ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَزِيزاً وَلا يَكُونَ ذَلِيلا.

تَ٠َّ كِتَابُ الْجِهَادِ ٠ِنَ الْكَافِي وَيَتْلُوهُ كِتَابُ التِّجَارَةِ. 6. Muhammad ibn Ahmad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Salt from Yunus from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious, has delegated all affairs of believers to them but He has not delegated him to humiliate himself.

Has he not seen the words of Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious: ‘All honor belongs to Allah, His Messenger and the believers....’ (63:7) Believers must stand honorable but not humiliated.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/413))
