737. ENCOURAGEMENT TO PRESERVE RELIGION

2287.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إذا حَضَرَت بَلِيَّةٌ فاجعَلُوا أموالَكُم دونَ أنفسِكُم ، وإذا نَزَلَت نازلةٌ فاجعَلُوا أنفسَكُم دونَ دِينِكُم ، واعلَمُوا أنَّ الهالِكَ مَن هَلَكَ دِينُهُ ، والحَريبَ مَن حُرِبَ دِينُهُ .¹

2287.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'If you are faced with a tribulation, shield your life with your wealth. If you are faced with a calamity, then shield your religion with your life, and know that the ruined man is he who destroys his religion himself and that the corrupted one is he who spoils his religion himself.' ²

2288.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - كانَ يقولُ عندَ المُصيبةِ - : الحمدُ للَّهِ‏ِ الذي لم يَجعَلْ مُصِيبَتِي في دِينِي .³

2288. Imam al-Sadiq (AS) would say when struck with an affliction, 'All praise be to Allah who did not allow my religion to be afflicted.' ⁴
