Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as): I said to Imam al-Sadiq (as): 'There is a group of your adherents who disobey Allah but at the same time they say that they hope [in His mercy].' The Imam Said: 'They are lying and are not our adherents. They are people who swing back and forth between their desires. One who hopes for something seeks it, and the one who fears something flees from it.' al-Kāfī
