Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلزَّاهِدِ فِي اَلدُّنْيَا قَالَ "اَلَّذِي يَتْرُكُ حَلاَلَهَا مَخَافَةَ حِسَابِهِ وَ يَتْرُكُ حَرَامَهَا مَخَافَةَ عَذَابِهِ".
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, peace be upon him, was asked about the one who is ascetic in this world. Imam عليه السلام said: "The one who abandons what is lawful out of fear of its reckoning and abandons what is unlawful out of fear of its punishment."
