سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ الْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ صِدْقِ الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَدَاءِ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ وَ حُسْنِ الْجِوَارِ وَ كُونُوا دُعَاةً إِلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ بِغَيْرِ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَ كُونُوا زَيْناً وَ لَا تَكُونُوا شَيْناً وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِطُولِ الرُّكُوعِ وَ السُّجُودِ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَ السُّجُودَ هَتَفَ إِبْلِيسُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا وَيْلَهُ أَطَاعَ وَ عَصَيْتُ وَ سَجَدَ وَ أَبَيْتُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al numan, from Abu Asama who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Upon you is with fearing Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and the devoutness, and the striving, and truthful narration, and paying back the entrustment, and the good manners, and the favours to the neighbours, and become (so pious that you) impress (others and attract) to yourselves without (using) your tongues, and become an adornment and do not become a shame; and upon you is with the prolongation of the Bowings and the Prostrations. So if one of you, when he prolongs the Bowings and the Prostrations, Iblees<sup>la</sup> would yell from behind him and say, ‘O woe! He obeys and I<sup>la</sup> disobeyed! And he Prostrates and I<sup>la</sup> refused’.
