إِنَّا أُمِرْنَا مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنْ نُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ بِقَدْرِ عُقُولِهِمْ ...أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي بِمُدَارَاةِ النَّاسِ كَمَا أَمَرَنَا بِإِقَامَةِ الْفَرَائِضِ.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

We the prophets have been commanded to speak to people according to the capacity of their intellects. Allah has commanded me to treat people amicably just as He has commanded me to fulfil religious obligations.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

رَحِمَ اللَّهُ خُلَفَائِي فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ خُلَفَاؤُكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُحْيُونَ سُنَّتِي وَ يُعَلِّمُونَهَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'O Allah! Have mercy on my successors.' He was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! Who are your successors?' He said, 'Those who revive my practices, and then teach them to God's servants.'

الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):

الامام الباقر «ع»- فيما وصف به النبيّ «ص»: َ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةٍ- مِنْ أَنْ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَه‏؟ .. لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةٍ مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَجِدُ لَقَدْ كَانَ يُجِيزُ الرَّجُلَ الْوَاحِدَ بِالْمِائَةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَلَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَأَكَل‏.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

You might think that the prophet spent three consecutive days having eaten to his full since the time Allah mandated him with prophethood until He seized his soul. No, by Allah, he was never satiated for three consecutive days eversince he was commissioned with prophethood until he was taken [to his Lord]. It was not because he did not have access to enough food; he would, sometimes, reward a person with one hundred camels; so had he wanted, he could have eaten.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ اللَّهِ‏ لَوْ أُعْطِيتُ الْأَقَالِيمَ السَّبْعَةَ بِمَا تَحْتَ أَفْلَاكِهَا عَلَى أَنْ أَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ فِي نَمْلَةٍ أَسْلُبُهَا جُلْبَ شَعِيرَةٍ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ وَ إِنَّ دُنْيَاكُمْ عِنْدِي لَأَهْوَنُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ فِي فَمِ جَرَادَةٍ تَقْضَمُهَا.

Imam Ali (as):

By Allah, if I was given all the seven domains with all that exists under its celestial spheres in order that I may disobey Allah to the extent of snatching a single grain of barley from an ant, I would not do it. Verily your world to me is more worthless than a leaf being gnawed at in the mouth of a locust.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

فَدَعُونِي أَكْتَفِي مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ بِمِلْحِي وَ أَقْرَاصِي فَبِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ أَرْجُو خَلَاصِي مَا لِعَلِيٍّ وَ نَعِيمٍ يَفْنَى وَ لَذَّةٍ تَنْحَتُهَا الْمَعَاصِي سَأَلْقَى وَ شِيعَتِي رَبَّنَا بِعُيُونٍ سَاهِرَةٍ، وَ بُطُونٍ خِمَاص‏

Imam Ali (as):

Let me suffice with salt and some loaves of bread out of [the comforts of] your world, for I see felicity to be secured only through God-wariness. What does Ali have to do with a bounty which is bound to perish and an enjoyment provided through sin? My Shia and I will meet our Lord with eyes which kept awake [at nights] and with empty stomachs.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ إِمَامَكُمْ قَدِ اِكْتَفَى مِنْ دُنْيَاهُ بِطِمْرَيْهِ وَ مِنْ طُعْمِهِ بِقُرْصَيْهِ .أَلَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَعِينُونِي بِوَرَعٍ وَ اِجْتِهَادٍ وَ عِفَّةٍ وَ سَدَادٍ . فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَنَزْتُ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ تِبْراً وَ لاَ اِدَّخَرْتُ مِنْ غَنَائِمِهَا وَفْراً وَ لاَ أَعْدَدْتُ لِبَالِي ثَوْبِي طِمْراً

Imam Ali (as):

Realize that your Imam has contented himself with two shabby pieces of clothes out of the (comforts of the) world and two loaves of bread for his meal. Certainly, you cannot live like that but at least assist me with piety, exertion, chastity and uprightness, because, by Allah, I have not treasured any gold from your world nor have I amassed plentiful wealth.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

الامام الصادق «ع»- عن هشام بن سالم (محمد) قال: كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ «ع»إِذَا أَعْتَمَ وَ ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ شَطْرُهُ أَخَذَ جِرَاباً فِيهِ خُبْزٌ وَ لَحْمٌ وَ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْحَاجَةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَسَمَهُ فِيهِمْ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهُ فَلَمَّا مَضَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَدُوا ذَلِكَ فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ «ع».

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Hisham b. Salim narrated, 'When it was dark and part of the night had passed, Abu Abdillah (Imam al-Sadiq) (AS) would take a sack of bread, meat, and money, and carry it on his back to the needy of Medina. He would distribute it among them without them even recognizing him. When Abu Abdillah (AS) passed away, they missed the aid and realized that it had in fact been Abu Abdillah.'

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّداً «ص»بِالْحَقِّ لِيُخْرِجَ عِبَادَهُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ إِلَى عِبَادَتِهِ وَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ بِقُرْآنٍ قَدْ بَيَّنَهُ وَ أَحْكَمَهُ لِيَعْلَمَ الْعِبَادُ رَبَّهُمْ إِذْ جَهِلُوه‏ وَ لِيُقِرُّوا بِهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَحَدُوه‏.

Imam Ali (as):

… then Allah sent Muhammad with truth so that he may take out His servants from the worship of Idols into His worship, from obeying Satan into His obedience, by virtue of a book [the Quran] which He clarified and solidified, so that the servants may know their Lord after being ignorant of Him and acknowledge Him after denying Him.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

النبي «ص»- لمّا نزلت هذه الآية (الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ‏ ..) قال: «اللَّه اكبر على إكمال الدين، و اتمام النّعمة، و رضا الرّبّ برسالتي، و ولاية عليّ بعدي»

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

When the verse ‘Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My favor upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion.’ was revealed, the prophet (s) said, “’God is greater’ for the perfection of religion, completion of the favor, and the Lord's approval of my mission and Ali’s custodianship after me.’
