7ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : المؤمنُ بَينَ مَخافَتَينِ: ذَنبٌ قَد مَضى لا يَدْري ما صَنعَ اللّهُ فيهِ ، وعُمرٌ قَد بَقيَ لا يَدْري ما يَكْتَسِبُ فيهِ مِن المَهالِكِ ، فهُو لا يُصْبِحُ إلّا خائفاً ولا يُصْلِحُهُ إلّا الخَوفُ . |
| 7– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The believer lies between two fears, fear of a sin that he has committed in the past and does not know what action Allah has taken [with regards to it], and fear for the remainder of his life in which he does not know what destructive sins he may commit, therefore he always wakes up in the morning fearful and it is only fear that reforms him.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 71, no. 12] |

8ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : لَو تَعْلَمونَ قَدْرَ رَحمَةِ اللّهِ لاتَّكَلْتُم علَيها وما عَمِلْتُم إلّا قليلاً ، ولَو تَعْلَمونَ قَدْرَ غَضَبِ اللّهِ لَظَنَنْتُم بأنْ لا تَنْجوا. |
| 8– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘If you knew the extent of Allah’s mercy, you would have depended on it and performed only a few deeds, and if you knew the extent of Allah’s anger, you would believe that you will not be saved.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 5894] |

9ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ارْجُ اللّهَ رَجاءً لا يُجَرّئُكَ على مَعاصيهِ ، وخَفِ اللّهَ خَوفاً لا يُؤْيِسُكَ مِن رَحمَتِهِ. |
| 9– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Hope in Allah with such hope that it will not embolden you to disobey Him, and fear Allah with such fear that it will not cause you to despair of His mercy.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 70, p. 384, no. 39] |

10ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : كانَ أبي (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) يقولُ : إنّهُ لَيس مِن عَبدٍ مؤمنٍ إلّا و في قَلْبهِ نُورانِ : نورُ خِيفَةٍ ونورُ رَجاءٍ ، لَو وُزِنَ هذا لَم يَزِدْ على هذا ، ولَو وُزِنَ هذا لَم يَزِدْ على هذا. |
| 10– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘My father (AS) used to say, ‘There is no believing servant except that in his heart are two lights, a light of fear and a light of hope, if they were each to be measured neither would exceed the other.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 67, no. 1] |
