191 - صَلابَةُ المُؤمِنِ‏

191. The Firmness of the Believer

597.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : المؤمنُ أصْلَبُ مِن الجَبلِ ، الجَبلُ يُسْتَقَلُّ مِنه ، والمؤمنُ لا يُسْتَقَلُّ مِن دِينِه شَي‏ءٌ .¹

597.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'The believer is harder than a mountain, for the mountain is dispensable whereas nothing can be taken away from his religion.' ²

598.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّ المؤمنَ أشدُّ مِن زُبَرِ الحديدِ ، إنّ زُبرَ الحديدِ إذا دَخلَ النّار تَغيّرَ ، وإنّ المؤمنَ لو قُتِلَ ثُمّ نُشِرَ ثُمّ قُتِلَ لم يَتغيّرْ قلبُهُ .³

598.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily the believer is stronger than pieces of iron, for when a piece of iron enters the fire it changes, whereas the believer, were he to be killed then resurrected and then killed again, his heart would never change.' ⁴
