الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ وَ هُوَ خَائِفٌ مُشْفِقٌ، ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْبِرِّ، فَيَدْخُلُهُ شِبْهُ الْعُجْبِ بِهِ‏، فَقَالَ: هُوَ فِي حَالِهِ الْأُولى‏ وَ هُوَ خَائِفٌ أَحْسَنُ حَالًا مِنْهُ فِي حَالِ عُجْبِهِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

I asked Imam al-Sadiq (as) about the state of a man who commits a sin on account of which he becomes fearful and apprehensive [of its consequences], then he performs a good deed which makes him impressed with himself. The Imam replied: 'The first state where he is fearful for his sin is better than the one where he feels impressed with himself.'

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.
