5ـ الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): رُبَّ مَغرورٍ مَفتونٍ يُصبِحُ لاهِياً ضاحِكاً يَأكُلُ ويَشرَبُ، وهو لا يَدرِي لَعلَّهُ قد سَبَقَت لَهُ مِنَ اللّه‏ِ سَخَطَةٌ يَصلى بها نارَ جَهَنَّمَ .

5– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘Many a deluded and captivated man [by his own desires] awakes in the morning oblivious and joyful, eating and drinking, unaware that perhaps Allah’ s wrath has already befallen him for something and as a result of which he will enter the Fire of Hell.’[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 282]
 

6ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَن وَثِقَ بثلاثَةٍ كانَ مَغروراً: مَن صَدَّقَ بما لا يكونُ، ورَكَنَ إلى مَن لا يَثِقُ بهِ، وطَمِعَ فيما لا يَملِكُ .

6– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘He who places his trust in three things is indeed deluded he who believes in the impossible, relies on someone who cannot be trusted, and avidly desires that which he does not possess.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 319]
