ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ لَا تَزَالُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا كَانَ لَكَ وَاعِظٌ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، وَمَا كَانَتِ الْمُحَاسَبَةُ مِنْ هَمِّكَ، وَمَا كَانَ الْخَوْفُ لَكَ شِعَاراً وَالْحَذَرُ لَكَ دِثَاراً.
Imam al-Sajjad (as):
O son of Adam! You will continue to be good as long as you have an advisor within yourself, as long as you pay attention to self-examination, and insofar as fear is your undergarment, caution is your clothing.
