Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ اَلصَّادِقَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "مَنْ أَخْرَجَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ ذُلِّ اَلْمَعَاصِي إِلَى عِزِّ اَلتَّقْوَى أَغْنَاهُ اَللَّهُ بِلاَ مَالٍ وَ أَعَزَّهُ بِلاَ عَشِيرَةٍ وَ آنَسَهُ بِلاَ أَنِيسٍ وَ مَنْ خَافَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَخَافَ اَللَّهُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَخَفِ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَخَافَهُ اَللَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ مِنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْيَسِيرِ مِنَ اَلرِّزْقِ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِالْيَسِيرِ مِنَ اَلْعَمَلِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَحِ مِنْ طَلَبِ اَلْمَعَاشِ خَفَّتْ مَئُونَتُهُ وَ نَعَّمَ أَهْلَهُ وَ مَنْ زَهِدَ فِي اَلدُّنْيَا أَثْبَتَ اَللَّهُ اَلْحِكْمَةَ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ أَنْطَقَ بِهَا لِسَانَهُ وَ بَصَّرَهُ عُيُوبَ اَلدُّنْيَا دَاءَهَا وَ دَوَاءَهَا وَ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ اَلدُّنْيَا سَالِماً إِلَى دَارِ اَلسَّلاَمِ".
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Whoever Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, brings out from the humiliation of sins to the honor of piety, Allah سبحانه وتعالى enriches him without wealth, honors him without a tribe, and comforts him without a companion. Whoever fears Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will make everything fear him, and whoever does not fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will make him fear everything. Whoever is content with the little provision Allah سبحانه وتعالى gives him, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will be pleased with his little deeds. Whoever is not ashamed to seek his livelihood, his burdens will be lightened, and his family will be blessed. And whoever renounces the world, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will instill wisdom in his heart, make it flow from his tongue, show him the flaws of the world - its sickness and its cure - and will take him safely from this world to the abode of peace."
