الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

لا تَدَعِ النَّفسَ و هَواها ؛ فإنَّ هَواها (في) رَداها ، و تَركُ النَّفسِ و ما تَهوى أذاها ، و كَفُّ النَّفسِ عمّا تَهوى دَواها .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Do not relegate your soul to its desire, for its desire leads your soul to destruction; leaving your soul to its desire is what inflicts torment on it, whereas restraining it from its desire is the remedy for your soul.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
