عن الهيثم بن واقد الجزري قال سمعت أبا عبدالله (عليه السلام) يقول: إن الله عزّ وجلّ بعث نبيا من أنبيائه إلى قومه وأوحى اليه أن قل لقومك: إنه ليس من أهل قرية ولا ناس كانوا على طاعتي فأصابهم فيها سراء فتحولوا عما أحب إلى ما أكره إلا تحولت لهم عما يحبون إلى ما يكرهون، وليس من أهل قرية ولا أهل بيت كانوا على معصيتي فأصابهم فيها ضراء فتحولوا عما أكره إلى ما أحب إلا تحولت لهم عما يكرهون إلى ما يحبون، وقل لهم: إن رحمتي سبقت غضبي، فلا تقنطوا من رحمتي فإنّه لا يتعاظم عندي ذنب أغفره، وقل لهم: لا يتعرضوا معاندين لسخطي، ولا يستخفوا بأوليائي فإنّ لي سطوات عند غضبي لا يقوم لها شيء من خلقي

There is not a people of any village or household who were in disobedience to Me, then hardship befell them because of it, and they turned from what I dislike to what I love, except that I turned for them from what they dislike to what they love. And tell them: My mercy precedes My anger, so do not despair of My mercy, for no sin is too great for Me to forgive. And say to them: Do not expose yourselves defiantly to My wrath, and do not belittle My awliya (close friends), for indeed I have assaults when I am angry that none of My creation can withstand.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لا تَسْتَكْثِرُوا كَثِيرَ الْخَيْرِ وَتَسْتَقِلُّوا قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ فَإِنَّ قَلِيلَ الذُّنُوبِ يَجْتَمِعُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ كَثِيراً وَخَافُوا الله فِي السِّرِّ حَتَّى تُعْطُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ النَّصَفَ وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى طَاعَةِ الله وَاصْدُقُوا الْحَدِيثَ وَأَدُّوا الأمَانَةَ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَلا تَدْخُلُوا فِيمَا لا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ.
A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’a who has said the following: “I heard abu al-Hassan(Musa ibn jafar)(a.s) saying, ‘Do not consider a great deal of good deeds a great deal. Do not consider a little sin little; the little sins accumulate to become a great deal. Have fear of Allah in private so you can yield to justice against yourselves. Hurry up in obedience to Allah, be truthful in your words, keep the trust; it is for you. Do not be involved in what is not lawful to you; it is against you.’”

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ فِي آجَالٍ مَقْبُوضَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَالْمَوْتُ يَأْتِي بَغْتَةً مَنْ يَزْرَعْ خَيْراً يَحْصُدْ غِبْطَةً وَمَنْ يَزْرَعْ شَرّاً يَحْصِدْ نَدَامَةً وَلِكُلِّ زَارِعٍ مَا زَرَعَ وَلا يَسْبِقُ الْبَطِيءَ مِنْكُمْ حَظُّهُ وَلا يُدْرِكُ حَرِيصٌ مَا لَمْ يُقَدَّرْ لَهُ مَنْ أُعْطِيَ خَيْراً فَالله أَعْطَاهُ وَمَنْ وُقِيَ شَرّاً فَالله وَقَاهُ.
A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ibn Faddal from those whom has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s) who has said the following: “You live in a period of time that is continuously reduced and in calculated days. Death comes suddenly. Whoever sows goodness will harvest what is very much sought after. Whoever sows evil will harvest regret. Every farmer finds what he has planted. The sustenance of the slow moving ones among you will not move ahead of him and the greedy will not achieve what is not assigned for him. Whoever does good, Allah grants him good and whoever safeguards against evil, Allah protects him.”
