الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

اقْصُرْ نَفْسَكَ عَمَّا يَضُرُّهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُفَارِقَكَ، وَ اسْعَ فِي فَكَاكِهَا كَمَا تَسْعى‏ فِي طَلَبِ مَعِيشَتِكَ؛ فَإِنَّ نَفْسَكَ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَمَلِك‏ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

مَا مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ عُبِدَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ وَ مَا تَمَّ عَقْلُ امْرِئٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِيهِ خِصَالٌ شَتَّى الْكُفْرُ وَ الشَّرُّ مِنْهُ مَأْمُونَانِ وَ الرُّشْدُ وَ الْخَيْرُ مِنْهُ مَأْمُولَانِ وَ فَضْلُ مَالِهِ مَبْذُول .‏

Imam Ali (as):

Nothing is better conducive to Allah’s worship than the intellect, and a man’s intellect is not complete until he has some qualities: disbelief and evil from him are not to be feared, while progress and good are expected from him, and the excess from his wealth is given away [in Allah’s way].

أَوْضَعُ الْعِلْمِ مَا وُقِفَ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ وَ أَرْفَعُهُ مَا ظَهَرَ فِي الْجَوَارِحِ وَ الْأَرْكَان‏.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

أَمَّا عَلَامَةُ الْخَاشِعِ فَأَرْبَعَةٌ مُرَاقَبَةُ اللَّهِ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَ رُكُوبُ الْجَمِيلِ وَ التَّفَكُّرُ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ الْمُنَاجَاةُ لِلَّه‏.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

There are four distinguishing marks of the humble ones: they are constantly mindful of God in private as well as in public, they carry out good works, they reflect on the Day of Resurrection, and engage in intimate supplication with Allah.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ شَهَادَةً مُمْتَحَناً إِخْلَاصُهَا مُعْتَقَداً مُصَاصُهَا نَتَمَسَّكُ بِهَا أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَانَا وَ نَدَّخِرُهَا لِأَهَاوِيلِ مَا يَلْقَانَا فَإِنَّهَا عَزِيمَةُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فَاتِحَةُ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ مَرْضَاةُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ مَدْحَرَةُ الشَّيْطَان‏.

Imam Ali (as):

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, the One, who has no partner; a testimony whose sincerity has been tested, in whose essence we believe. we shall cling to it as long as we live, and preserve it for the hardships that we are to face; for it is the source of strength in our faith, the first step towards good deeds and Allah’s pleasure, and the means for driving Satan away.
