لِبَعْضِ وُلْدِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ يَرَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ نَهَاكَ عَنْهَا وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ يَفْقِدَكَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عِنْدَ طَاعَةٍ أَمَرَكَ بِهَا وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالْجِدِّ وَ لَا تُخْرِجَنَّ نَفْسَكَ مِنَ التَّقْصِيرِ فِي عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يُعْبَدُ حَقَّ عِبَادَتِهِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الْمِزَاحَ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِنُورِ إِيمَانِكَ وَ يَسْتَخِفُّ بِمُرُوءَتِكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الْكَسَلَ وَ الضَّجَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَمْنَعَانِكَ حَظَّكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.

Hadith.5885 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Khalaf, from Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) that Imam (as) said to one of his sons: "My son, beware that Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, sees you committing a sin He (swt) has forbidden you from. And beware that Allah (swt), the Exalted, does not find you present in an act of obedience that He (swt) has commanded you to perform. Be diligent and do not excuse yourself from shortcomings in worship of Allah (swt), for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is never worshipped as He (swt) truly deserves. Avoid excessive joking, for it extinguishes the light of your faith and diminishes your dignity. Also, beware of laziness and boredom, for they will deprive you of your share in this world and the Hereafter."
