*Imam al-Kazim (peace of Allah be upon him) said: “On the day of Resurrection, there will stand on the Divine Throne four individuals from the past generations and four from the later generations. Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus are the four individuals from the past generations. Mohammed, Ali, al-Hasan, and al-Hussein are the four individuals from the later generations. Then, food will be served. Those who visited the shrines of the Imams will be invited to that food. The visitors of my son’s shrine will be the foremost and the most favorable.” [Bihar-ul-Anwar; vol. 22, page 6 (as quoted from al-Kafi)]
“My intercession is for those of my Ummah who would have committed big sins; as for the doers of good, there shall be no difficulty for them.” He was asked: “O son of the Messenger of Allah! How can the intercession be for those who have committed big sins; while Allah says, `and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves’ (21:28); and a committer of big sins cannot be approved?”

Never bother to learn something, not knowing which does not do you any harm, and never neglect to learn something whose negligence will increase your ignorance.
Moderation is the half of the livelihood.
Amicability is half of the intelligence.
Hastiness is the true clumsiness.
I found the knowledge of people in four things: firstly, that you know your Lord (recognition of Allah)
