Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ ع: "أَوْحَى اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَا آدَمُ إِنِّي أَجْمَعُ لَكَ اَلْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ فِي أَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ وَاحِدَةٌ لِي وَ وَاحِدٌ لَكَ وَ وَاحِدَةٌ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ وَ وَاحِدَةٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ اَلنَّاسِ فَأَمَّا اَلَّتِي لِي فَتَعْبُدُنِي وَ لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئاً وَ أَمَّا اَلَّتِي لَكَ فَأُجَازِيكَ بِعَمَلِكَ أَحْوَجَ مَا تَكُونُ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَمَّا اَلَّتِي فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَعَلَيْكَ اَلدُّعَاءُ وَ عَلَيَّ اَلْإِجَابَةُ وَ أَمَّا اَلَّتِي بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ اَلنَّاسِ فَتَرْضَى لِلنَّاسِ مَا تَرْضَى لِنَفْسِكَ" ".
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, revealed to Adam, peace be upon him: 'O' Adam, I have gathered all goodness for you in four words: one is for Me سبحانه وتعالى, one is for you, one is between Me سبحانه وتعالى and you, and one is between you and the people. As for the one for Me سبحانه وتعالى, worship Me سبحانه وتعالى and do not associate anything with Me سبحانه وتعالى. As for the one for you, I will reward you for your deeds when you are in most need of it. As for the one between Me سبحانه وتعالى and you, it is upon you to supplicate and upon Me سبحانه وتعالى to answer. And as for the one between you and the people, be pleased for them with what you are pleased for yourself.'"
