1767. THE LIGHT OF THE HEART AND THE LIGHT OF THE FACE

6261.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام: أكثِرْ صَمتَكَ يَتَوفَّرْ فِكرُكَ ، ويَستَنِرْ قَلبُكَ ، ويَسلَمِ النّاسُ مِن يَدَيكَ .¹

6261.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Increase your silence and your thoughts will flourish, your heart will enlighten, and people will be safe from your hands.' ²

6262.الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ عليه السلام - لَمّا سُئلَ عَن عِلَّةِ كَونِ المُتَهَجِّدينَ باللَّيلِ مِن أحسَنِ النّاسِ وَجهاً - : لأ نَّهُم خَلَوا باللَّهِ فكَساهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن نُورِهِ .³

6262. Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS), when asked about the reason why those who perform the night prayer have the most beautiful faces among people, replied, 'Because they seclude themselves with Allah and so Allah covers them in His light.' ⁴

6263.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : طَلَبتُ نُورَ القَلبِ فوَجَدتُهُ في التَّفَكُّرِ والبُكاءِ ، وطَلَبتُ الجَوازَ علَى الصِّراطِ فوَجَدتُهُ في الصَّدَقَةِ ، وطَلَبتُ نُورَ الوَجهِ فوَجَدتُهُ في صَلاةِ اللَّيلِ .⁵

6263.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'I sought for light of the heart and found it in contemplation and crying. I sought for crossing the Bridge [on the Day of Resurrection] and found it in giving charity. I sought for light of the face and found it in the night prayer.' ⁶
