- Ibn Abbas relates: 'The Apostle of God, may Allah bless him and his family, would sit upon the earth, and eat upon the earth. He would milk the ewe, and respond to the invitation for food from the freeman and the slave even for the simple trotter meal.' Imam al-Sadiq peace be upon him relates:[...]
- He used to say: 'There are five things I will not stop doing until I die; eating on the floor with the servants, riding on the saddle of a donkey, milking goats with my hand, wearing wool, and greeting children, so that these may become traditions of humility for others after I am gone.'

- the Messenger of Allah said: “Three supplications are answered without doubt – the supplication of the oppressed, the supplication of the traveller, and the supplication of the parent for his son.) If such be the lofty status of a traveller, it must only mean that travelling in Islam has a higher purpose. If that is[...]
- Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS) was peerless in knowledge, forbearance, forgiveness, generosity, sacrifice, and piety.

- Worship is an act, which we outwardly consider as a type of humility, but it has deeper profundity.

- worship is outwardly a simple act, but if it is other than the above, worship will not be entertained by man.

- Sincerity lies in all distinguished actions: it is a notion that starts with acceptance and ends with Allah's pleasure.

Whoever does not have his actions accepted is not sincere, even if his actions[...]
- As the first Imam said, 'Those who act will perish, except for those who worship; those who worship will perish except for those who know; those who know will perish except for those who are truthful; those who are truthful will perish except for those are sincere; those who are sincere will perish except for[...]

One who seeks resoluteness,[...]
