John Shaqi

كَانَ أَبِي ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ إِلَّا وَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُورَانِ نُورُ خِيفَةٍ وَ نُورُ رَجَاءٍ لَوْ وُزِنَ هَذَا لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى هَذَا وَ لَوْ وُزِنَ هَذَا لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى هَذَا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘There is none from the believing servants except in his heart would be two lights – a light of fear and a light of hope. If this was to be weighed, it would not increase upon this, and if this one was to be weighed, it would not increase upon this one (i.e. both being equal)’.
