I've to give an account of on the day of final Judgement . I'm cought and
entangled between my actions and deeds . I can't get what I like and I am
unable to get away from what I despise , because all affairs are in the hands
of God . If He chooses He will forgive me . Therefore which poorman is more
needy than me ?

world ) indeed there is no provision better than piety . "
66 - Some one asked Imam to give him a piece of advice . He said :
Get ready for your last journey , and before death arrives prepare yourself
some provision and be ware that when you desire this world , death desires
for you . To day you shouldn't think about tomorrow's sorrows . And be ware
that whatever wealth gathered by you , if it exceeds your daily sustenance ,
infact is saved for others . And be ware for the lawful wealth of this world
will be duly counted , and the unlawful wealth is followed by punishment ,
and there is reproach in doubtful wealth . Therefore consider this world as a
carcass and take only that much that suffices you . In this case if it is
lawful , you've performed a virtuous act , and if it is unlawful you haven't
committed any sin because it sufficed your urgent need , the same way you may
eat a carcass in exigency , and if there is any reproach in it , it will be
little and light .
67 - Behave , in this world , in such a way as if you will be living
forever , and for the world hereafter act in a way as if you'll die
tomorrow .
68 - If you had to become friends due to a want with a man and associate
with him , Be friends with a person whose association adds to your dignity
and when you do him a service , he supports you and when you ask him for
assistance he helps you and if you say something , he confirms your words
and if you attack , strengthens you in your assault and if you asked for
something , assists you and if your shortcoming is revealed he covers it
and if he sees any good deed performed he takes it into account .
