الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

قُلْتُ‏ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام: إِنَّ قَوْماً مِنْ مَوَالِيكَ يُلِمُّونَ بِالْمَعَاصِي، وَ يَقُولُونَ: نَرْجُو؟ فَقَالَ: كَذَبُوا لَيْسُوا لَنَا بِمَوَالٍ، أُولئِكَ قَوْمٌ‏ تَرَجَّحَتْ بِهِمُ‏ الْأَمَانِيُّ؛ مَنْ رَجَا شَيْئاً عَمِلَ لَهُ، وَ مَنْ خَافَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ هَرَبَ مِنْهُ.

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.'

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.
