العُجبُ دَرَجاتٌ، مِنها : أن يُزَيَّنَ لِلعَبدِ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ فيَراهُ حَسَنا فيُعجِبَهُ و يَحسَبَ أنَّهُ يُحسِنُ صُنعا، و مِنها : أن يُؤمِنَ العَبدُ بِرَبِّهِ فيَمُنَّ عَلَى اللّهِ عَزَّ و جلَّ و للّهِِ عَلَيهِ فيهِ المَنُّ .

Imam al-Kazim (as):

Self-admiration [‘Ujb] has stages, some of which are: when a person’s evil deed is made to seem fair to him so he views it as good and is impressed by it and thinks that he is doing well. [Another stage is] when a person comes to believe in his Lord and considers it a favour to Allah, Mighty and Exalted, while it is Allah who has done him a favour [by guiding him to faith].

الإمام الجواد (عليه السَّلام ):

وَ كَفى‏ بِالْمَرْءِ عَيْباً أَنْ يُبْصِرَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَا يَعْمى‏ عَنْهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ يُعَيِّرَ النَّاسَ بِمَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ تَرْكَهُ.

Imam al-Jawad (as):

It is enough of a fault for a man if he sees in people the very same fault that he possesses but to which he is blind, or if he blames others for that which he himself is unable to abandon.

الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

«لَا تَسْتَكْثِرُوا كَثِيرَ الْخَيْرِ وَ تَسْتَقِلُّوا قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ‏ ، فَإِنَّ قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ‏ يَجْتَمِعُ‏ حَتّى‏ يَصِيرَ كَثِيراً؛ وَ خَافُوا اللَّهَ فِي السِّرِّ حَتّى‏ تُعْطُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ النَّصَفَ‏، وَ سَارِعُوا إِلى‏ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، وَ اصْدُقُوا الْحَدِيثَ، وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَةَ، فَإِنَّمَا ذلِكَ لَكُمْ‏؛ وَ لَاتَدْخُلُوا فِيمَا لَايَحِلُّ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا ذلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ».

Imam al-Kazim (as):

Do not regard a great deal of good that you do as too much and do not deem your petty sins as insignificant, for verily petty sins accumulate until they become a great deal. Have fear of Allah in private so you can maintain fairness despite yourselves, hasten towards obedience to your Lord, be truthful in your speech, return the trust [to its owner], for verily that is for your own good, and do not engage in that which is not lawful, for it is in your own detriment.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ وَ هُوَ خَائِفٌ مُشْفِقٌ، ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْبِرِّ، فَيَدْخُلُهُ شِبْهُ الْعُجْبِ بِهِ‏، فَقَالَ: هُوَ فِي حَالِهِ الْأُولى‏ وَ هُوَ خَائِفٌ أَحْسَنُ حَالًا مِنْهُ فِي حَالِ عُجْبِهِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

I asked Imam al-Sadiq (as) about the state of a man who commits a sin on account of which he becomes fearful and apprehensive [of its consequences], then he performs a good deed which makes him impressed with himself. The Imam replied: 'The first state where he is fearful for his sin is better than the one where he feels impressed with himself.'
