Twenty Traditions from the Holy Prophet (s)
1. Oh servants of Allah! You are like patients & the lord of mortals is like a physician. So the rectitude & well-being of the ailment of patients lies in the rule (formula) which the physician knows & administers with that rule, not in that one which the patient desires. Therefore, obey the commands of Allah so that you get to become among the attainders & victorious ones. (Majmoo-a-warram, Vol. 2, P 117)
1- يا عِبادَ اللهِ أَنتُم کَالمَرضَی وَرَبُّ العالَمِينَ کَالطَّبيبِ، فَصَلاحُ المَرضی فيما يَعلَمُهُ الطَّبيبُ وَتَدبِيرُهُ بِهِ،لا فيما يَشتَهِيهِ المَريضُ وَيَقتَرِحُهُ، أَلا فَسَّلِّمُوا لِلّهِ أَمرَهُ تَکُونُوا مِنَ الفاِئزِين. (مجموعة ورّام ج 2 ص 117

One who starts a morning in a condition that he does not care about the affairs of the Muslims is not one of the Muslims. And a person who hears the voice of a man who calls the Muslims to his help but he does not respond him, is not a Muslim.

3. The Prophet of Islam (S) sent a group of Muslims to the battle front against the enemies. When they returned to the court of Apostle of Allah he said to them ',Well done, bravo, the group who performed the small jihad (holy war) & the big jihad has (yet) to be performed by them.' They said 'oh Prophet of Allah what is the great jihad?'
The Prophet replied, 'jihad & war against the passions. (Of ego).' (Wasail ul Shia, Vol, P 122)
3- إِن النَّبِيَّ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً،فَلَمّا رَجَعُوا قالَ: مَرحَباً بِقُومِ قَضَوَُا الجِهادَ الأَصغَرَ وَ بَقِيَ عَلَيهِمُ الجِهادُ الأَکبَرُ . فقيلَ: يا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الجِهادُ الأَکبَرُ؟ قالَ:جِهادُ النَّفسِ. (وسائل الشيعة ج 11 ص 122)
