NARRATION 1
فَتَدَارَكْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِكَ وَ لَا تَقُلْ غَداً أَوْ بَعْدَ غَدٍ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ بِإِقَامَتِهِمْ عَلَى الْأَمَانِيِّ وَ التَّسْوِيفِ حَتَّى أَتَاهُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ بَغْتَةً وَ هُمْ غَافِلُونَ
Amir ul momineen(as) says:
Seize what you have left of your life, and do not keep saying, ‘Tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow,’ for verily those before you were ruined because of their persistent wishful thinking and their procrastination, until suddenly the command of God [i.e. death] overtook them while they were heedless.

NARRATION 2
قال عليهالسلام في صفة المؤمن: الْمُؤْمِنُ بِشْرُهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَ حُزْنُهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، أَوْسَعُ شَيْءٍ صَدْراً، وَ أَذَلُّ شَيْءٍ نَفْساً، يَكْرَهُ الرِّفْعَةَ، وَ يَشْنَأُ السُّمْعَةَ، طَوِيلٌ غَمُّهُ، بَعِيدٌ هَمُّهُ، كَثِيرٌ صَمْتُهُ، مَشْغُولٌ وَقْتُهُ، شَكُورٌ صَبُورٌ، مَغْمُورٌ بِفِكْرَتِهِ، ضَنِينٌ بِخُلَّتِهِ، سَهْلُ الْخَلِيقَةِ، لَيِّنُ الْعَرِيكَةِ! نَفْسُهُ أَصْلَبُ مِنَ الصَّلْدِ، وَ هُوَ أَذَلُّ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ.
Amir ul momineen(as) says:
"The believer’s cheerfulness is on his face, and his sorrow is in his heart.
He has the widest chest (most tolerant), and the humblest soul.
He dislikes elevation (high status) and detests fame.
His grief is long-lasting, his worries are far-reaching,
He is often silent, and his time is fully occupied.
He is grateful and patient, immersed in thought, stingy with his intimates,
Easygoing with people, and gentle in manner.
His soul is firmer than rock, yet he is humbler than a servant."

NARRATION 3
«إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُ أَصَابِعَ» فَسُئِلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ هَذَا فَجَمَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ وَ وَضَعَهَا بَيْنَ أُذُنِهِ وَ عَيْنِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «الْبَاطِلُ أَنْ تَقُولَ سَمِعْتُ وَ الْحَقُّ أَنْ تَقُولَ رَأَيْتُ»
Amir ul momineen(as) says:
“Verily, there is nothing between truth and falsehood but a span of four fingers.” When asked about the meaning of this statement, the Imam put his four fingers between his ear and eye and said, "Falsehood is to say “I heard” while the truth is to say “I saw.”

NARRATION 4
،قال امام صادق (علیه السلام)
فَازُوا وَ اللَّهِ الْأَبْرَارُ أَ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُمْ
هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْذُونَ الذَّرَّ
By God! The righteous have succeeded! Do you know who they are? They are the ones who do not harm even the smallest of creatures.
