Sayings of Imam Hussain (a.s.) -29

Do not be pleased save to what you have got of Allah's obedience. (Aaian Ashi'a , Vol. 1 , P. 621)

Do not assume responsibility for a task , unless you are sure you can handle it competently. (Aaian Ashi'a , Vol. 1 , P. 621)

Do not prescribe a medicine for a king , because if it cures him he will not thank you , and if it worsens his condition, he will blame you. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 127)

Referring to a follower who had refrained from joining a war and then had apologized for it and sought to bring an excuse to justify it , Imam said :Apologizing for a sin committed consciously is worse than the sin itself. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 128)

If you gather wealth but do not use it , you are not the owner of your wealth , rather , you are owned by it. So benefit from your possessions and do not let them benefit from you. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 127)
