1 سُبحانَ مَن جَعَلَ الإعتِرافَ بِالنِّعمَةِ لَهُ حَمداً، سُبحانَ مَن جَعَلَ الإعتِرافَ بِالعَجزِ عَنِ الشُّکرِ شُکراً. (بحارالانوار ج78 ص142)

FORTY DISCODRSES FROM HIM
1. Glory be to Allah who made (declared) the acknowledg ment of His beneficience as His praise &. Eulogy. GLORY BE to the ONE WHO made (declared) the confession of man's inability to thank HIM as a thank giving. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 78, P 142)
2. (Oh people) contemplate, meditate, &. practice for the (place, thing) that you have been created for, Allah did not at all create you in vain &. useless. (TUHf1JL AQOOL, P 274)
3. Be careful not to acquire the company of sinners &. help the oppressors &. tyrants &. become the neighbour of transgressors. Be careful keep &. look out their sedition &. commotion &. keep away from their area. And be aware that the one who opposes the friends &. saints of ALLAH &. follows a religion other than the religion of Allah &. self willingly makes his own veiw as the basis of his matter than that of the saint of Allah (omitts the command of saints) will get into roaring fire which eats up the bodies, the bodies, which were overwhelmed by their wretchedness &. villainy. So take lesson, oh those having eyes &. visions &. do praise Allah upon His guiding you &. do know that you can not go out of the (sphere of) Allah's power towards the power of other than HIM. And Allah is watching your practices &. then you would get resurrected towards HIM. Therefore, get benefitted by the admonition (of Allah) &. get trained &. chastised with the civility (decorum) of those pious. (TUHf1JL AQOOL, P 254)

4. Imam SAJJAD wrote in a letter to Mohammed lbne Muslim azzahari one of the court scholars of that age:
Allah took a committment from the scholars in his book, where in, He said 'manifest them to the people &. do not hide them (the facts of the Holy Books). (ALE. IMRAN. 187)
And know it, that the least &. minimum of that YOtf hide &. the lowest (degree) of weight of responsibility which you will carry (on this way) is that you calmed down &. soothed up the fear &. harrasment of the tyrant &. (paved &. plained) made the way of his error &. enticment, easy for him by your getting closer to him.
Is it not that by their inviting you they wish to make you like axis of a water mill, the pivot &. center of their oppressions &. get those things managed through you.
And make you a bridge to (safely) cross over &. avoid their nuisances &. evils, &. make you a stair towards their deviations &. aberrations, a caller &. invitor towards their way of enticement &. error i &. the traverser of their way &. make the people doubtful about the scholars through yourself. And attract the hearts of the ignorant public towards themselves through you. The work which they get from you is neither accecible to the most expert of their ministers &. nor their most powerful &. energetic co-workers &. helpers.
So how little is it that they give you for the worth of what they take from you &. how worthless is that which they flourish for you as compared to what they ruin for you?
So see into your soul &. think about yourself because no one else will see to it &. think about it. (you are a responsible person &. will be braught to account &. undergo question on the resurrection day). (TUHfUL AQOOL, P 276)
5. There is no drop which is dearer to Allah more than two drops: The drop of blood (which drips out) on the course of Allah (JEHAD) &. the drop of tear in the darkness of night by which a servant does not want any thing except (pleasing &. loving) Allah. (BIHAR UL ANWAR VOL 100, P 10)
6. There are three (things)which are refuges & shelters for a faithful; to refrain his tongue from the people & their back bitting, and keeping himself busy with things (matters) which are benefitial for his futurity, here after & the world; protracted & lengthy weeping upon his sin. (TUHfUL AQOOL P 282)

And Allah cautions you from HIM self (His chastisment) oh inadvertent &. unmindful sons of Adam! woe be upon you &. but they are not unmindful of him (The waking eyes of the universe is watching him). Indeed your death is the most swift &. quickest thing moving towards you. Very soon it will catch hold of you.

Then your soul will be turned back towards you and two angles MUNKIR &. NAKEER will come to you for questioning &. the severed &. arduous examination. Beware! their first question from you will be as to 'Who is your lord, the one you had been worshipping?' And (question) about who is your prophet that was sent to you.' And about your religion the one you had been believing in? And about your Imam (religious leader) after the Prophet, in whose guardian ship you believed! And about your life as in what sort of activites you spent it.,
And about your weaith, as to where you earned &. achieved it from &. in what way you spent it? (TUHFUL AQOOL, P 249)
39- فَحَقُّ أُمِّکَ أَن تَعَلَم أَنَّها حَمَلتَکَ حَيثُ لا يَحمِلُ اَحَدٌ أَحَداً، وَاطعَمَتکَ مِن ثَمَرَةِ قَلبِها مالا يُطعِمُ أَحَدٌ أَحَداً، وَأَنَّها وَقَتکَ بِسَمعِها،وَبَصَرِها،وَيَدِها،وَرِجلِها وَشَعرِها، وَبَشرِها وَجَميع جَوارِحِها مُستَبشِرَةً بِذلِکَ،فَرِحَةً،مُوابِلَةً مُحتَمِلَةً لِما فيهِ مَکرُوهُها وَأَلَمُها وَثِقلُها وَغَمُّها حَتّی دَفَعَتها عَنکَ يَدُ القُدرَةِ وَأَخرَجَتکَ إِلَی الأَرضِ، فَرَضِيَت أَن تَشبَعَ وَتَجُوعَ هِيَ،وَتَکسُوَکَ وَتَعری،وَتَروِيَکَ وَتَظمَأ، وَتُظِلَّکَ وَتَضحی،وَ تُنَعِّمَکَ بِبُؤسِها ،وَتُلَذِّذَکَ بِالنَّوم بِأَرَقِها ،وَکانَ بَطنُها لَکَ وِعاءً،وَحِجرُها لَکَ حَواءًوَثديُها لَکَ سِقاءً وَنَفسُها لَکَ
وِقاءً،تباشِرُ حَرَّ الدُّنيا وَبَردَها لَکَ وَدُونَکَ،فَتَشکُرَها عَلی قَدرِ ذلِکَ،وَلا تَقدِرُ عَلَيهِ إِلاّبِعَونِ اللهِ وَتَوفيقِهِ (تحف العقول ص263)
40- فَخُذحِذرَکَ، وَانظُرلِنَفسِکَ، وَأَعِدَّ الجَوابَ قَبلَ الإمتِحانِ،وَالمُساءَ لَةِ والإختِيارِ،فَإِن تَکُ مُؤمِناً عارِفاً بِدينِکَ،مُتَّبِعاً للِصّادِقينَ،مُواِلياً لأَِلياءِ اللهِ لَقّاکَ اللهُ حُجَّتَکَ وَأَنطَقَ لِسانَکَ بِالصَّوابِ فَأَحسَنتَ الجَوابَ وبُشِّرتَ بِالجَنَّةِ وَالرِّضوانِ مِنَ اللهِ ،وَاستَقبَلَتکَ المَلائِکةٌ بِالرَّوح وَالرَيحانِ،وَإِن لَم تَکُن کَذلِکَ تلجلج لِسانکَ،وَدَحَضَت حُجَّتُکَ وَعَييتَ عَنِ الجَوابِ وَبُشِّرتَ بِالنّارِ،وَاستَقبَلَتکَ مَلائِکَةُ العَذابِ بِنزٍل مِن حميمٍ وَتَصلِيَة جَحيم. (تحف العقول ص249-250)
39. The right of your mother is that you know she has carried you (in her womb) in a manner that nobody has carried the other. And fed you from the fruit of her heart in a way that nobody has fed the other. She safe guarded &' perserved you with (extreme) pleasure by her ears, &' eyes &' hands &' feet &' hair &' skin &' all of her body parts with joy &' felicity, bearing in it all the odds pains, agonies, discomforts,& burdens till such time the hand of Allah detached & expelled you from her to the earth. Then she got contented & pleased that she remains hungry & feeds you & dresses you up remaining herself nude & quenches your thirst while she is thirsty & she puts you in the shade & while herself remains under the sun & brings you up with the extreme blandishment & delicacy while herself (remaining) in hardship.
And makes you enjoy the sweet sleep while herself waking. And her womb was a container (utensil) for you &' her lap was a soothing &' comforting place for you. And her breasts were a means of quenching your thirst. And her existence was a shield for protecting you.
She endured the hot &' cold (thick &' thin) of the world for your sake.
Therefore, you must also thank her at the same scale &' standard. And you do not have the capabilty &' power of doing it but with the aid &' help of Allah &' his succour &' grace. (TUHfUL AQOOL P 263)
40. Provide yourself with the medium of your defence &' contemplate about yourself. And prepare the answer before the examination &' cross questioning &' experiencing conversance. So if you are a faithful &' knowledge able &' visionist about your religion, follower of the truthfuls, friend &' lover of the friends, &' saint of Allah, Allah will inspire &' revel ate to your argument &' your tongue shall utter the correct &' suitable answer &' you shall give a decent response &' answer.
And you will be given the glad tiddings of paradise &' good pleasure (of Allah). And the angels will greet & wefcome you with happiness, bounty and fragnance (of paradise).
And if you were not like that. your tongue will stammer &. your argument will become forfeited &. false &. you will get unable &. incapable to reply &. will get the news of fire &. the angels of chastisement &. torment will recieve you with the boiling hot water &. the fuming &. flaming hell.
