7ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): يابنَ مَسعودٍ، لا تَغتَرَّنَّ بِاللّهِ، ولا تَغتَرَّنَّ بصَلاحِكَ وعِلمِكَ وعَمَلِكَ وبِرِّكَ وعبادَتِكَ. |
| 7– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘O Ibn Mas`aud, do not be under any delusion about Allah, and do not be under any delusion with respect to your righteousness, your knowledge, your deeds, your goodness or your worship.’[Makarim al-Akhlaq, v. 2, p. 350, no. 2660] |

9ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ مِنَ الغِرَّةِ باللّهِ أن يُصِرَّ العَبدُ علَى المَعصيَةِ ويَتَمَنّى علَى اللّهِ المَغفِرَةَ. |
