And he-saww said: ‘One whom Allah-azwj Transfers from the disgrace of the disobedience to the honour of obedience, He-azwj has Enriched him without wealth and Made him honourable without a clan, and Comforted him without a comforter. And the one who fears Allah-azwj, all thing will be fearful of him, and the one who does not fear Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj will Cause him to fear from all things. And one is satisfied from Allah-azwj with the less from the sustenance, Allah-azwj will be Satisfied with him from the less from (his) deeds. And who is not embarrassed from seeking the Permissible from the livelihood, his income will be light and his mind will be relaxed, and his dependants will be comfortable. And one who is ascetic in the world, Allah-azwj will Affirm the wisdom in his heart, and his tongue will speak with it, and he will be insightful of the faults of the world, its illnesses and its cures, and he will safely exit from the world to the house of settlement’’.

And he-saww said: ‘One from my-saww community who comes to a morning and his main concern is other than Allah-azwj, he isn’t from Allah-azwj, and the one is not concerned with affairs of the Momineen, he isn’t from them, and the one who willingly accepts the humiliation, he isn’t from us-asws, People-asws of the Household’’.
