عليُ بنُ عقبَةَ : سُئِلَ أميرُ المؤمنينَ عليه السلام : بِمَ عَرَفتَ رَبَّكَ ؟ ـ : بِما عَرَّفَني نَفسَهُ . قيلَ : و كَيفَ عَرَّفَكَ نَفسَهُ ؟ قالَ : لا يُشبِهُهُ صُورَةٌ ، و لا يُحَسُّ بِالحَواسِّ ، و لا يُقاسُ بِالنّاسِ .

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (as) was asked: 'How did you come to know your Lord?' To which he replied, 'I came to know my Lord by how He made Himself known to me.' then it was said, 'And how did He make Himself known to you?' He replied, 'That no image resembles him, that He cannot be perceived by the senses, and that He is not to be compared to people.'

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ عَمَلًا إِلَّا بِمَعْرِفَةٍ، وَ لَا مَعْرِفَة إِلَّا بِعَمَلٍ؛ فَمَنْ عَرَفَ، دَلَّتْهُ الْمَعْرِفَةُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ، وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ، فَلَا مَعْرِفَةَ لَهُ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Allah does not accept any act without inner knowledge [Ma'rifat] and inner knowledge only comes through prior action. So, whoever gains knowledge intrinsically, his knowledge will lead him to action, and whoever does not act does not have any inner knowledge.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

الْعَامِلُ عَلى‏ غَيْرِ بَصِيرَةٍ كَالسَّائِرِ عَلى‏ غَيْرِ الطَّرِيقِ، لَا يَزِيدُهُ‏ سُرْعَةُ السَّيْرِ إِلَّا بُعْداً.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

He who acts without any insight is as the one who travels off the path, whom walking faster only avails to take him further away from the path.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه و آله قَالَ: مَنْ أَصْبَحَ لَايَهْتَمُّ بِأُمُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ‏ ، وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ‏ رَجُلًا يُنَادِي: يَا لَلْمُسْلِمِينَ‏، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، فَلَيْسَ بِمُسْلِمٍ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

The prophet (s) said, 'He who wakes up in the morning unconcerned about the situations of fellow Muslims is not a Muslim. And one who hears a man calling, O Muslims, [help!] but does not respond to his call, is not a Muslim.'

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

مَنْ زَهِدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَثْبَتَ‏ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَ أَنْطَقَ‏ بِهَا لِسَانَهُ، وَ بَصَّرَهُ عُيُوبَ الدُّنْيَا دَاءَهَا وَ دَوَاءَهَا، وَ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً إِلى‏ دَارِ السَّلَامِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

He who abstains from [the vain pleasures of] the world God will establish wisdom in his heart, make his tongue speak it, open his eyes to the flaws of the world, its illnesses as well as its cures and will take him out safely from this world into the abode of peace.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

التَّفَكُّرُ حَيَاةُ قَلْبِ الْبَصِيرِ، كَمَا يَمْشِي الْمَاشِي فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ بِالنُّورِ بِحُسْنِ التَّخَلُّصِ وَ قِلَّةِ التَّرَبُّصِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Thinking is the life of the heart of the cognizant just as when someone walks in the darkness with a light and easily gets out of it without much waiting therein.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إنّما شيعَتُنا أصحابُ الأربَعةِ الأعيُنِ : عَينانِ في الرَّأسِ ، و عَينانِ في القَلبِ ، ألا و الخَلائقُ كُلُّهم كذلكَ ، ألا إنّ اللّهَ عَزَّ و جلَّ فَتَحَ أبصارَكُم و أعمى أبصارَهُم .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Verily our followers (Shia) have four eyes: two in their head, and two in their heart. Actually, all people are such, except that Allah has opened their [the Shia’s] eyes, and blinded others’ [as a result of their rejection of His guidance].
