After this (having Praised Allah (azwj),), I (asws) hereby advise you all to fear Allah (azwj), for He (azwj) has Taken the responsibility for the one who is pious to turn them around from what He (azwj) Abhors towards what He (azwj) Loves, and Sustain him from where he does not expect. So beware of becoming from those who are feared by the servants due to their sins whereas they themselves feel secure from the consequences of their own sins.

Allah (azwj) cannot be deceived about His (azwj) Paradise, nor can that be achieved which is with Him (azwj) except by being obedient to Him (azwj), Allah (azwj) Willing’. رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/106)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
