Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as)

إِنَّ الْعَالِمَ إِذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِعِلْمِهِ زَلَّتْ مَوْعِظَتُهُ عَنِ الْقُلُوبِ كَمَا يَزِلُّ الْمَطَرُ عَنِ الصَّفَا.

When the knowledgeable man does not act upon his knowledge, his exhortation slips away from the hearts like the rain slips off a flat rock.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as)

بَرُّوا آباءَكُم يَبَرَّكُم‏ أبناؤكُم، وعِفّوا عَن نِساءِ النّاسِ تَعِفَّ نِساؤكُم.

Be good to your parents and your children will be good to you, and restrain yourselves from other people's women and your own women will be ...

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as)

اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِی الضَّعِیفَیْنِ یَعْنِی بِذَلِکَ الْیَتِیمَ وَ النِّسَاءَ.
