ما يوجِبُ بَقاءَ العِزِّ That Which Causes Honor To Last

17ـ الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اُطلُب بَقاءَ العِزِّ بإماتَةِ الطَّمَعِ.

17– Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Seek for everlasting Honor through killing greed.’[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 286]
 

18ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): حِشمَةُ الانقِباضِ أبقى لِلعِزِّ من اُنسِ التَّلاقي.

18– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The modesty in one’s reservation preserves one’s Honor longer than the intimacy of encounter [when interacting with people].’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 74, p. 180, p. 28]
