الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

اُقصُرْ نَفسَكَ عَمّا يَضُرُّها مِن قَبلِ أن تُفارِقَكَ ، وَاسعَ في فَكاكِها كَما تَسعى في طَلَبِ مَعيشَتِكَ ؛ فإنَّ نَفسَكَ رَهينَةٌ بِعَمَلِكَ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Keep your soul away from what harms it before it departs your body, and struggle to set it free [from desire] just as you struggle to earn your livelihood, for verily your soul is hostage to your deed.

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.
