3. Imam Ali ar-Reza (p) quoted Imam Ali (p): Give
glad tidings to the one who worships and prays to God sincerely.

something to others he is not saddened.(B5,C11,T3)

4. Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (p): God tests you to see
which one of you is best in his good deeds. Goodness of deeds does
not depend on its quantity, but on the truth of the deed, the fear
of God and the sincerity of purpose. To remain sincere while performing
a good deed is harder than its performance. The sign of a good deed
is that you should not expect any praise for it…(B5,C11,T4)

5. Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (p) was requested to comment
on the verse: Save him who comes to God with a submissive heart
(Q, 26:89).
The Imam (p): A submissive heart has no one in it except God. Any
heart with a trace of polytheism or doubt deserves outright rejection.(B5,C11,T5)

6. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (p): Anyone who remains
absolutely sincere in his faith in God continuously for forty days
and remembers Him for forty days, God will make this world repulsive
in his eyes and will fill his heart and speech with wisdom …(B5,C11,T6)
