الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

«لَا تَسْتَكْثِرُوا كَثِيرَ الْخَيْرِ وَ تَسْتَقِلُّوا قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ‏ ، فَإِنَّ قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ‏ يَجْتَمِعُ‏ حَتّى‏ يَصِيرَ كَثِيراً؛ وَ خَافُوا اللَّهَ فِي السِّرِّ حَتّى‏ تُعْطُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ النَّصَفَ‏، وَ سَارِعُوا إِلى‏ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، وَ اصْدُقُوا الْحَدِيثَ، وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَةَ، فَإِنَّمَا ذلِكَ لَكُمْ‏؛ وَ لَاتَدْخُلُوا فِيمَا لَايَحِلُّ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا ذلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ».

Imam al-Kazim (as):

Do not regard a great deal of good that you do as too much and do not deem your petty sins as insignificant, for verily petty sins accumulate until they become a great deal. Have fear of Allah in private so you can maintain fairness despite yourselves, hasten towards obedience to your Lord, be truthful in your speech, return the trust [to its owner], for verily that is for your own good, and do not engage in that which is not lawful, for it is in your own detriment.

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.
