[Bihar al-Anwar, v.75, p.127, hadith # 1]
Know that the requests of people towards you for seeking help is among the blessings of God upon you. Therefore, don’t grieve this blessing (by grieving those who request for help) as it may turn into wrath. [Bihar al-Anwar, v. 75, p. 121, hadith # 4] Verily people are the slaves of this world and their religion is superficial, only on their tongues. They are attentive to it as long as their material needs are provided, but when they are tested, the number of true devotees diminishes. [Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 117] Certainly I don’t see death except as a blessing and living under oppressors as destruction.
